Heidrun M. "Heidi" Bahr Caswell

Born 23 May 1936 at Deutsch Krone, Zachodniopomorskie, Poland
Died 14 July 2010 at Weiden in der Oberpfalz, Bavaria, Germany 

Heidi was the first of five children born to Hans Hugo Bahr and Margarete Altmann Bahr. She was born in West Prussia at Deutsch Krone, Zachodniopomorskie, Poland which is now known as Wałcz At the end of World War II, the family fled to Germany and settled at Bremerhaven where her father was engaged as a teacher. Heidi traveled to upstate New York in the fall of 1961 to meet her future in-laws and visit Roxbury, the home town of her fiancé. She made many new friends during this two-month visit  before returning to her home. Heidrun married to Philip Preston Caswell on 17 August 1962 at Bremerhaven, Germany. Her social security number was issued by the state of California in 1963 and she accompanied her husband on some of his United States Army assignments.  Heidi also accompanied her husband on at least some of his trips to Alaska and the Yukon after he retired from his military career. Heidi and her husband cared for a coatamundi and a cougar but where or when I do not know. Heidi and Philip had no children and her husband preceded her in death in 2005. After his death, she sold most of their property in New York and took up residence near her youngest brother in Germany. Her last known address was at Kohlberg, Esslingen, Baden-Wurttemberg. She died at a hospital in nearby Weiden. Her remains were cremated and given to the care of family. Heidi, as the wife of Philip, was John More Association Jean line cousin #M56241.
