From "Families are Forever" by Nancy Bowen McKeen (1.152):

BEGIN

  Philipp Deckelmann was a baker, a trade he brought with him from his native
country.  He married three times.  I have found no mention of his first wife,
but family stories tell us the first and second wives were sisters.
  His second wife was Eva Laubender, who died in 1856 at the age of 29.
There were at least four children of this marriage:  Matthew, Barbara,
Gertrude, and Mary Ann.  According to family legend, Philipp had a total
of twenty children by his three wives.
  In 1857 Philipp married Barbara Woerz.  Eleven children of this marriage
were born in Obernburg, New York, where they owned a 78 acre farm.  One son,
Philip, died at birth in 1870.
  In 1881 tragedy befell the family, when five of their children died
of smallpox.  Because of the quarantine, the family had to conduct the
burials themselves, usually at night.  Many of the iron crosses used at
that time are still seen in St. Mary's Cemetery.  The youngest to survive
was Caroline, who at the age of six spent six months living with the Wolff
family to prevent her from contracting the dreaded disease.
