Remarks
Born in Offenbach, Germany, Hedwig Werner immigrated to the United States in the early 1850s and married Edward Stieglitz in 1862. Although the family made fun of her malapropisms, she had a deep love of literature, music, and the visual arts. Of her six children, her first-born, Alfred, was her favorite.
