Henry and Regina Wischmeyer House, 26565 Lake Road, c. 1872
The 17th in a series of articles to be published as a walking tour of Lake Road by the Bay Village Historical Society in 2026.
The book “Retracing Footsteps” by Catherine Burke Flament has a wealth of information about both Henry and Regina and their families because many of them are buried in Lakeside Cemetery.
Henry was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1832; Regina in Wurtenburg, Germany, in 1834. Regina’s family immigrated in 1850; Henry in 1854. They were married in 1854 and Henry (and therefore Regina) was naturalized in 1860.
