Note

Heinrich immigrated to America from Schleswig-Holstein, a hamlet with borders touching Germany and Denmark. When his homeland was invaded in 1860 and made a part of Prussia, he hopped aboard a sailboat and eventually landed in Chile. From there , Heinrich made his way to San Francisco, where he landed a job with the Morgan Oyster Company. This is where the story really begins. Morgan Oyster Company shipped oysters from Washington's Willapa Bay to San Francisco. That connection led Heinri ch to Bruceport on Willapa where, in 1873, he settled and made himself a home. In addition to growing the native Olympia oysters for trade to San Francisco, Heinrich operated the local "Wiegardt Hotel." He met his Danish wife Laurie through the local lighthouse keeper. At the time, Laurie was an indentured servant for a local family. In 1883, having only met her three times, Heinrich paid the family to release Laurie from her servitude, and marri ed her.
