This is mainly from Rocher. Girard claims that his second marriage in 1896 was with Louise Hahn, daughter of —> Ferdinand Hahn. Genealogical pages (ancestry.com & my heritage) do ot confirm this. The second has Emilie Leonore (Elizabeth) Hartmann (1853–1933). Gedenktafel in Gossner-mission.de says that back in Germany he lived in Steinhagen with his wife Elisabeth.
