HEIDE	July 30, 2003 I am looking for information on Christian H. HEIDE born abt. 1843 in Denmark. He was the husband of a distant relative in Wilmington, NC. He and his wife lost 3 infant children and she died shortly after the third child's death. Family information reports that he was so upset upon losing all his children and his wife that he moved far away to western NC. While I have been able to find him listed in the Buncombe Co. 1910 Federal Census, I have not been able to locate a death date or cemetery where he and his second wife are buried. Since his surname was not carried over in our families in eastern NC due to the death of all of his children, we have elected to use the "Heide" surname as a given name and it his been repeated through several generations. The lovely gravestone and inscription he had made for his first wife is quite touching and can be seen in a family cemetery in Wilmington, NC. Any information leading to his gravesite and date of death would be greatly appreciated. Betty Ashler
