Per letter from Kimberly Klare Koberstein Smith dated 2Nov98.
"I don't know when they came to the states but supposedly he didn't meet my grandmother (his [Bruno] wife) until he got here. My grandfather married Klara Dorothea Wulff. Again, according to my aunt, she was from Hamburg, Germany. She was born on August 28, 1900. The only other think I know about here is that she died a fairly young age. It is believed to be sometime in 1949. I know
that both her and my grandfather are buried in a cemetery in New Jersey but nobody remembers where. I would love to find out when and where they were married."
