General Notes: Husband - Nicholas Hacke


He was a scion of a distinguished family, his ancestors, both paternal and maternal, having been for generations financiers and bankers in Bremen, Germany. He received his business training in his father's bank, a long established institution. While still a young man, he emigrated to the United States, settling in Baltimore, Maryland, where he engaged in banking, subsequently identifying himself with the jewelry business and the fur trade, the latter being at that time extremely profitable. He accumulated a fortune, also becoming the owner of a large amount of Baltimore real estate.

He went with his son William to South America to purchase a large stock of furs, and neither ever returned, both dying in an epidemic of yellow fever. The wife and mother, unable to stand the shock of this double bereavement, passed away at the comparatively early age of forty years.
