She was born in 1855 in Wilmington, and died in 1933 at the New Castle County Hospital after a several-month’s stay (Feb 23-May 7), of cancer of the bowels (and gangrene of both feet). She was white, 78 years old at death, and a widow. She lived most of her life in Wilmington, but spent about 6 years (perhaps more) in the town of Port Hammond, British Columbia, Canada, from when she was married in 1903 to sometime after her husband’s death in 1909.

Both the Rows and the Richenberger were prominent families who came from Bavaria, in Germany, immigrating first to Baltimore, and later, some members of the family moved to Wilmington. The story of both families is told in a book about the history of the Jewish community in Wilmington, Delaware. Sophia Richenberger had emigrated to the United States in 1848. Bernard Row was born on October 20, 1818 in Bavaria. He emigrated to the United States in 1832 at the age of 14, staying first with relatives in Baltimore, Maryland. His brother Joseph was also living in Baltimore with his wife Sarah Richenberger Row and several children. In 1999, a book by Toni Young was published that provides information about the Row and Richenberger families in Baltimore and Wilmington. Continue reading
