Herbert Walter Dahmer Bio, Wife, Children and Grandchildren
Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer was a sexual offender and serial killer who murdered and dismembered seventeen men and boys between the years 1978 and 1991.
He was commonly known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster. His victims included both adults and adolescents. In his later crimes, he frequently resorted to cannibalism, necrophilia, and the long-term preservation of body parts, most usually the entire skeleton or a portion of it. In addition, he frequently ate human flesh.
On November 28, 1994, Jeffrey Dahmer was killed by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin. Christopher Scarver was responsible for the murder. Dahmer was born on May 21, 1960, in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
His mother, Joyce Annette (née Flint), worked as an instructor for teletype machines, and his father, Lionel Herbert Dahmer, was a chemistry student at Marquette University who later became a research chemist. Dahmer was the firstborn son of his parents. Both Lionel and Joyce Dahmer's ancestors were of German and Welsh heritage, but Lionel's lineage was more prominent.
The next branch of Jeff Dahmer's family tree is on his father's side. Here are his grandparents.
Jeffrey Dahmer's grandparents are Herbert Walter Dahmer and Catherine Jemima Hughes.
Both of Lionel's parents, Herbert Walter Dahmer and Catherine Jemima Hughes, were teachers while they raised their son.
They made consistent efforts to support him in his academic pursuits and encouraged him to get a degree in whatever field he chose to work in. Even though he knew that she was only trying to assist, he harboured resentment against his mother in particular for making him feel like he was less bright.
This was the case even though he recognised that she was only trying to assist. Even though Catherine's grandson Jeff was locked up at the time of Herbert's death in 1971, which occurred at the age of 67, and Catherine herself passed away on Christmas Day in 1992 at the age of 88,
The Dahmer family name originated in Germany in the late 19th or early 20th century with the arrival of relatives who brought with them the surname Dahmer. Lionel's grandparents, John and Rosa Dahmer, were John and Rosa Dahmer. John did not have a very long life; he went away in 1905, when he was only 38 years old.
Herbert Walter Dahmer, Lionel's biological father, also had a son who was two years old at the time. Her son was also only sixteen years old when she passed away in 1920, the same age as Rosa. It would appear that people who have the name Dahmer have a rather short lifespan (with the exception of Lionel).
Catherine Hughes was one of a total of five children that Eunice Adele Spears and Robert Rowland Hughes Sr. were able to have. Given that Hughes is a common surname in Wales, it's possible that Robert's parents, Rowland and Jane Hughes, were originally from that country before migrating to Wisconsin. In spite of the fact that Eunice Adele Spears was actually born in the state of Iowa, we were unable to acquire very much information regarding her.
