I was able to locate Otto Robert Glassenopp and Hannah in the 1880 US Census.  Since the name was terribly translated / transcribed the search engine on ancestry.com could not locate a record but familysearch.com did.

What is interesting is that two doors down on Thompson Street lived a Martin Dunn and his daughter Ellen Dunn.  Martin's daughter Mary Ann Dunn had married Hannah Franklin's Glasenapp's brother Charles Franklin in 1877.  It seems like it was a small knit community.

Also listed is another Franklin family - Henry Franklin living next to the Glasenapps.  Haven't been able to establish a family connection but many of the children's given names seem to match up with names previous used by the family.

Got an email from the Millville Historical Society of NJ. Hannah died 17 December 1915. They could not locate where she was buried. Also could not find any information on husband Otto. Brief mention of her son in a local newspaper in 1897 that he attended a birthday party.
