John was the first husband of Mary Ann "Polly" (Boocher/Bucher/Beaucher) Hemminger Hahn (1835-1876). He was the father of at least seven children with Polly including: Barbara Ellen (Hemminger) Johnson/Johnston (1848-1935), Mary A. (b. 1850 - died before 1860), Julia Ann (Hemminger) Berger (b. 1852- died after 1870), Rosetta (b. 1854), Reason (b. 1858), Milton Hemminger (1859-1942) who is buried in this cemetery and George Hemminger (1865-1935).

John died between 1866 and December 20, 1869. He was a veteran of Company D, 128th Indiana Infantry. He enlisted on Dec. 15, 1863 in Mishwauka, Indiana and was mustered out on April 10, 1866. John was born between 1826 and 1828 in Ohio.

John and Polly were living in Penn, St. Joseph, Indiana in 1860 with their six living children. After John died, Polly married Christian Hahn (1828-1906) on April 11, 1872 in St. Joseph County, Indiana. Polly was the second wife of Christian Hahn. Polly had at least three more children with Christian Hahn including Oliver, Arthur and Ray Hahn. Polly died about 1876. Christian Hahn went on to marry his third wife, Catherine (Mikel) Hahn on April 17, 1877 in Elkhart County, Indiana.

Note: According to Civil War Pension files, Pvt. John Hemminger of the 128th Indiana Infantry died before 1870. His widow's name was Polly and he had a young son named George. George was born in 1865 and his other children who were listed, Julia, Rosetta, Reason and Milton, were born before he left for the war.

Also note: Another confusing fact for people researching this line. This John Hemminger who was born about 1826 or 1828 in Ohio was married to a Mary Ann "Polly" Boocher or Bucher around 1847. She was born about 1828. They have often been confused with another person named John H. Heminger (1845-1920) - (Memorial 65930289 on Findagrave) who married a Mary N. Boocher (1852-1926) - (Memorial 67155908 on Findagrave.) The other John H. Heminger and Mary N. Boocher were married in 1869, over 20 years later than this John Hemminger and his wife, Mary Boocher.

There seems to be alot of confusion between the many "John Heminger/Hemmingers" in this area, because so many of them were born close to the same time in Ohio and came to Indiana. Research on John's parentage is ongoing. Please contact me if you have any information on his parents' names or his exact death date. He definitely died between 1866 and 1870.
John's plot location is listed on page B-65 of the Bremen Cemetery Index.

Update 07/01/2018: I believe John may be the son of Margaret Hemminger who was born about 1800 in Pennsylvania and died some time after 1850. They were living next door to each other in Penn, St. Joseph, Indiana in 1850. I am not sure who Margaret's husband was, however.
