William H H "Harry" Simianer was the first born child of
the William and Charlotte Ford Simianer union. William and
Charlotte were not married when "Harry" was born. The
records show they were married in 1897 in Jackson, MN.
"Harry" was born 2 years previous in June of 1895.
Family legend has it that "Harry" was born in Ottumwa, IA.
Looking at the geography the following assumption can be
made. It is known that Carl Simianer and his sons lived at
Clarion, IA. Charlotte is recorded as born and living at
Wesley, IA. Both Clarion and Wesley are in north central Iowa
not far from Jackson MN. William J Simianer (Henry Sr Son)
is recorded as being born in Clarion in July 1895. It can,
therefore, be assumed that "Harry" was born there also.

Charlotte Ford Welshans Simianer Married a man by the name
of James Welshans. They had a son named Roscoe. Shortly
thereafter they divorced.
Charlotte then married William H Simianer and they had 4
children: William H "Harry" Simianer, Francis, Beatrice,
Maria and Della Mae "Kitty".
They lived for a time at Ottumwa, Iowa where Harry and
Francis were born. In 1901 they moved to Denver, Colorado.
There they met a man named Jack Collamer who told them there
was a lot of work at Fort Collins. Jack had a team and
wagon going back to Fort Collins empty. He offered to haul
the family and their belongings and that is how they came to
Fort Collins. Charlotte suddenly fell ill in the spring of
1935 and passed away on the 21st of April in that year. She
was buried in the Grand View Cemetery at Ft Collins,
Colorado. (From information provided by Carl Simianer, 6251
Collins Way, Anchorage, Alaska 99502).
