OTTO HILGER, BORN 1857
BUSINESSMAN
A partial memoir of Otto Hilger (1857-1945), and his wife LiIly Rabeneck (1860-1924) who was the daughter of Arthur and Betty Rabeneck. The photo above is from 1889, when Otto was 32 and Lilly 29. Otto and Lilly were the parents of Gustav Hilger (1886-1965). This memoir, covering the years 1885-1923, is taken from a website made by Christian Stoltz in Rio de Janeiro, found by Sabine Hartung, (great granddaughter of Eugenie Rabeneck 1862-1948, another daughter of Arthur and Betty). Sabine was told by Stoltz that pages before the start of this text have either been lost, or never existed.
