Maleana "Lena" Heidt was born on Apr. 1, 1834, in/near the little commune (community) of Seltz, Bas Rhin, Alsace, France. Today, Seltz has a population of about 3,400. She was usually known as "Lena" so several records show her given name as Madalena. Her headstone, however, shows her given name as Maleana.
The region of Alsace, France borders Germany and the two countries are separated by the Rhine River The region was very Germanic at that time and consequently, the language of many of it's citizens was German.
Lena was the daughter of Heinerich "Henry" Heidt (1795-1878) and Maria Anne "Mary" Werner (1799-1868), both also born in Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France. Her parents immigrated to America, arriving on Nov. 13, 1854, and eventually settled in southwestern Jefferson Co., KY near Louisville. Their farm was located on present day Arnoldtown Road which for many decades was just a dirt road/trail.
On Feb. 4, 1856, Lena married Adam Weber (1828-1910). She was about 22 years of age, he 28. They were married in the St. Andrew Catholic Church where they and their families attended services. His parents are thought to have been Gottlieb Weber (1800-1883) and Rosina Schramn (1801-1851).
It is thought that Adam had immigrated to America from The Kingdom of Bavaria (1806-1918), arriving in America on June 24, 1852. It is also thought that his older brother (?), Peter Weber (1818-late 1860s), had immigrated to the Jefferson County area prior to Adam's arrival. Both are shown on a 1858 map of Jefferson Co. as owning large farms on present day St. Anthony Church Rd, then known as St. Andrew Church Rd.
Adam either made the long voyage by himself or with his brothers/cousins (?), Jacob Weber (1823-aft 1860), Frederick Conrad Weber (1826-aft 1870) and John Weber (1831-1888). He and some (all?) of them may have worked as ship hands to pay for their ocean passage. They did not come to America with their parents.
On Jan. 30, 1861, Lena's younger sister, Francoise "Frances" Heidt (1943-1925), married John Weber (1831-1888), Adam's younger brother. Consequently, two of the Heidt sisters married two of the Weber boys (brothers ?).
Lena and Adam, had a farm on present day St. Anthony Church Road. They were married about 54 years and had six known children. They were Adlejunda "Gunter" Weber (1857-1900), Amelia Weber (1858-1927), Nicholas "Nick" Weber (1863-bef 1880 ?), Annie Catherine "Kitty" Weber (1868-1926), Francisca "Frances" Weber (1869-1904) and Adam John Weber (1875-1952). Frances was named after Lena's older sister. There were probably other unknown children at/near birth or who did not survive childhood.
Adam died on Apr., 13, 1910 in Jefferson County at the age of 82. He is buried in the St. Andrew Cemetery which at that time was next to the St. Andrew Catholic Church (opened 1851-closed 1908). The old stone building was finally razed in 1907. It stood where the present cemetery pavilion, built in memory of aborted babies, now stands.
Lena died on May 1, 1910 in Jefferson County at the age of 76, just two weeks after her husband's death. She too, is buried in the St. Andrew Catholic Cemetery, next to her husband, Adam. They share the same small headstone.
Both of Lena's parents, as well as her sisters, Francoise "Frances" (Heidt) Weber (1843-1925) and Maleana "Lena" (Heidt) Weber (1834-1910), and brother, Anthony Heidt (1925-1900/10), are also buried in this cemetery.
