On Irwin senior’s death certificate, it lists the birthplace as Germany, mother unknown. I know they came from Stuttgart Germany and that Karl Gottleib was a baker and I think he had a bakery in Homewood. At least that is what some historian from U of Mich told me; he was writing the history of Homewood and dug some stuff up on them. Supposedly, Karl and his wife were mean and their children abandoned them.The Census record lists Karl Gotllieb Zacher's occupation as a pattern maker. Charles Zacher Sr, is listed as a baker.

The family story is that her father was adopted by the Wylam family but didn't find out about it until later in life after he was married and had children. He found out that his real surname was Taylor and changed the family name back to Taylor from Wylam between 1910 and 1916.
Census records do not match with the above family story. Data entered for Thomas Taylor and Mary Segalini family is from the 1900 Census in Houtzdale, PA and 1910 Census in Houtzdale, PA
The Census records do not tell why the children, at least with Margaret S., has the birth certificate as Margaret Wylam, with parents Thomas and Mary Wylam. The baptism record names are the same for Margaret S.

From Catherine Zacher Lombardi to Robert G. Nooning Sr, 9-2007.
I know there were some hard feelings when Irwin Sr. died and Kitty remarried (badly) in 2 or 3 months. I am sure my father kept in touch with Charles, but when I got married my father went into the hospital with heart failure on the Thursday before the wedding (he missed it and I was not allowed to visit), later my dad told me Charles said “well at least you don’t have to watch a Zacher marry an Italian, again” to which my dad replied “you moron that was my mother” and then he told him to leave.
That is how I know about the whole Italian/German thing. I will have to call my mom’s brother, he may know something, they were pretty close.Also from Catherine Zacher Lombardi to Robert G. Nooning Sr, 9-2007.
Kitty was a seamstress and quite a good one, she made all of our dress up clothes.
