| Biographical data |
| Name: Uedemann, Louis |
| Born: 10 Jan. 1854 |
| Died: 22 Nov. 1912 |
| |
| Notes: |
| The Dubuque Chess Journal of Dec. 1875 (p.567) has 'L.H. Uedemann'. The Brooklyn Daily Standard Union of 2 Mar. 1895 (p.7) has 'L. Vedemann'. The Brooklyn Standard Union of 22 Feb. 1896 (p.7) has 'L. Nedemann'. Hilbert, in his biography of Kemeny, gives Uedemann's year of death as 1913 on p.291, but then gives his date of death as 22-11-1912 on p.299, which agrees with the date given by Gaige. |
