"Bernhard Freimann, Produktenhändler, und seine Frau Regine hatten einen Sohn, Simon Freimann, der als Pferdehändler in Schwaben Bankrott machte. Der Sohn zog den Vater mit in den wirtschaftlichen Strudel. Bernhard Freimann verkraftete es nicht, er beging Selbstmord. Er wurde am 30. August 1887 tot im Ehebach nächst der Ziegelhütte aufgefunden. Im Oktober 1887 löste die Witwe Pachtverträge auf, die ihr Mann auf sechs Jahre eingegangen war." ( Sugenheim Minute book)

The cementery for Sugenheim and surrounding area is on a slope at

the edge of a wood on the outskirts of the village of Ullstadt,

some 3 km from Sugenheim and goes back to about 1620. Some

repair and restoration of foundations of grvestones to prevent them

from falling over on the steep slope has taken place in recent

years. source: TS
