Dorothy Martha Johanna (Heiden) Strzesinski was born February 19, 1907 as the fourth child of Heinrich and Emma (Stock) Heiden.

On September 3, 1942, she married Theodore Henry Strzesinski, Sr. and they lived in Ida, Michigan. They had 3 children.

On January 27, 1967, Dorothy died of cancer at home in Ida at the age of 59. She was buried at Pleasant View Cemetery in Petersburg, Michigan. Her husband died at the age of 62 in May 6, 1975.

Theodore Strzesinski, Sr. had two wives named Dorothy Heiden. His first wife was Dorothy Heiden, daughter of Heinrich Heiden. After she died in 1967, he married Dorothy (Spohr) Heiden, the widow of Henry Wm Heiden.

 

They lived in the old schoolhouse at 11411 Trost Rd in Ida. I remember how they fixed up the schoolhouse so you would never know it once was a school.
