LIENERS Pierre

Pierre LIENERS was born in Stockem (Asselborn). His father’s occupation was Leinweber.
In 1884 Pierre left home to serve as Knecht on a farm in nearby Belgium. He acted as Knecht for a number of years but in 1892 he was convicted of a murder in Aachen and sentenced to 8 years in prison.
By 1905 he was an orphan and also had lost his younger sister. He probably returned to his home village Stockem and took over the family farm.
Pierre remained single and by 1929 he had settled in Lullingen (Wincrange) as a farmer.
He died in 1947 in Doennange (Wincrange). He presumably committed suicide.

Huet hien sech erhaangen?
