Peter Fredrik was listed with his grandparents, the Stahrmanns in 1855: J'fcrgen Stahrmann, 61 yrs old, married, born in Weddingstedt, born abt 1794 Wiebck Chaterine Kielmann, 62 yrs old, married, born in Wesselburen abt 1793 Johann Volmers Stahrmann, 34 yo, unmarried, son, born Wesselburen abt 1821 Wiebck Chaterine Stahrman, 22yo, unmarried, daughter, born in Wesselburen abt 1833 Peter Frederik Wahlert, 15 yo, unmarried, grandson, born in Wesselburn abt 1840

The Stahrmann info is from the 1855 Census Norddithmarschen-Kirchspiel (Paris) Wesselburen-village of Sch'fclp. The Starhmann's are family/house #29. The Wahlerts are house #46.

J'fcrgen Stahrmann was listed as an Arbeitsman in the 1855 census, others show up as

2 Generation 1 (cont.) K'e3thner and Tagel'f6hners, cottager and daylaaborer. A Kl'e4thner (cottager) i'm told is one who has small plot of land, perhaps enough for the garden, cottage, perhaps a cow. Another friend said the Tagel'f6hners (the daylaborers) were a large group, seemingly ripe for emmigration.

The 1845 census lists Peter Frederik W. with his grandparents, listed as a foster son.

There are church records on m'film that can be ordered. They cover births 1644-1800; marriages 1709-1758, 1772-1800; deaths 1670-1800. The local church records office for the provice, Norddithmarschen, can be viewed at Heide. These should contain the records for 1801-1874. In 1874 the civil registrations started. Perhaps the church kept on recording. The civil records are restricted, but I think the births and marriage records have been released for the balance of the 1800s. Maybe they will have better handwriting.

M'film indexes to Wesselburen region are not helpful according to Zella.

Claus Wilhelm in the 1855 census is listed as being born in 1850, not c.1842 as is he listed in records in the US (ed., I have his birth recorded as March 17, 1850). There is thought that Claus Wilhelm's wife Johanna Lehse came from the Hemme area, so I can look there, too. Also, J'fcrgen W'e4hlert's wife, Lena Dallheier came from Hemme area, too. There is a listing for Magdalena Dallmeier, 14 yo, listed in either the 1855 census for Hemme or Zennhusen. It's hard to tell which village is being recorded sometimes. Zella found this listing, but I don't have the exact house number. There are no page numbers. end - Exhibit #924

7 Generation 2 (cont.) he has won and held the esteem of everyone with whom he became acquainted. He was not a man who coveted popular- ity or political power, but preferred the quiet, unasuming life, taking honesty, kindness and square dealing with all mankind as his motto. This made him a good husband, father, neighbor and citizen. Mr. Fred Wahlert was born March 29th, 1849 in Germany where he was baptized and confirmed in the Luth- eran Church. He came to America in 1857 and settled at Moline, Illinois. After a brief residence there he moved to Henry county, Illinois.

Brother Wahlert joined the Ma- sonic lodge in Exira in 1900, he was initiated in May, passed in November and raised in December. Being a Mason was a very serious matter with him, he accepted the principals as something to be lived and not a mere form. He was a faithful and consistant member of the lodge and believer in the religion of his youth till he an- swered the final roll call on Thursday, April 2nd at 6 o'clock p. m. Fred Wahlert was the son of John Wahlert, and was one of a family of six boys and two girls of which two survive him, Edward of Adair, Iowa and Mrs. Catherine Hugman of Adair, Iowa.

Audubon County Journal (IA) Apr. 28, 1921, pg. 1 ILL HEALTH CAUSED WAHLERT SUICIDE

------Jacob Wahlert Sr. Found Dead at Home of Daugh- ter, Mrs. Porter

------

Jacob Wahlert, a well known and highly respected resident of this community, was found dead with a rope around his neck, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Will Porter, at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon. He had rolled off his bed after tying the rope to the bedpost and around his neck.

A coroner's inquest was held and suicide was the verdict arrived at.

Mr. Wahlert was nearly seventy- five years old, and because of ill health was despondent, which is supposed to have been the cause of his rash act.

Jacob F. Wahlert was born in Germany July 4, 1846. He was one of a family of nine children who came to America in early life.

In 1874, he was married in Rock Island county, Illinois, to Ear- nestine Fritchie. To this union nine children were born, seven of whom are living.

In 1874, they came to Iowa and bought land in Greeley township, Audubon county. They engaged in farming in which they prospered.

In 1890, his wife died, since which he has made his home with his children. He was a devout member of the German Lutheran church, and his children were reared in that faith.

He was a grand good man, highly respected and esteemed by friends and neighbors who deplore his tragic death.

All extend sympathy ot the bereaved and sorrowing children, and other relatives who are called to mourn his untimely end.

13 Generation 2 Funeral services will be held at the Christian church tommorrow (Friday) afternoon at 1:30, Rev. Eppard in charge, and the remains will be laid to rest in the Schwen- neker cemetery.

He died in Atkinson, Ill. of pericarditis (word is hard to spell out, but appears to be per'c'd.) after 7 days of illness. He had lived 12 years in Ill., arriving then in 1872.

There is a stone at Grandview Cem, put in by Ralph Graham. It says just "Wahlert". It appears to be at the foot of Grandma W.'s gravesite. Grandpa W's site is (seemingly) next to hers, sunken.

Notes for August Wahlert: Semi Weekly Iowa State Reporter newspaperarchive.com 8/13/1901 Exira, Aug. 9.-August Wahlert, while working about a threshing machine a little way east of town, was suddenly grabbed by the lower end of his pantaloons and had his clothing nearly torn from his body. In making an effort to save himself he stuck his right hand into the cylinder, which was making several thousand revolutions every second, and had his hand frightfully torn. He came to town immediately to have the injured member dressed, and as he walked on the street he staggered as a drunken man, so great was the pain.

Notes for George Wahlert: GEORGE WAHLERT, JR.

The value to a community of having the right man in the office of township trustee never was better demonstrated in Greeley township, this county, than during the present incumbency, George Wahlert, Jr., the present efficient and enterprising trustee having demonstrated his peculiar fitness for the important position which he holds, and it is but proper that a work designed to set out for the consideration of future generations something of the lives of those who constitute the leading citizenry of Audubon county in this generation should carry a fitting review of the interesting career of Trustee Wahlert. George Wahlert, Jr., was born in Henry county, Illinois, October 23, 1878, the son of Jergen and Lena (Dommeier) Wahlert, further details of whose lives will be found set out at length in the interesting biographical sketch relating to Jergen Wahlert, presented elsewhere in this volume. George Wahlert came to this county at the tender age of three years, his parents having moved here from Illinois in the year 1881, and he was reared on the parental farm and attended the district schools of Greeley township until he was seventeen years of age, living at home until he was nineteen, at which time he commenced "working out" on neighboring farms, continuing this form of activity for three years, at the end of which time he bought a half interest in a farm with William Hensley, this part- nership continuing for three years. Mr. Wahlert then bought eighty acres of unimproved land from Mr. Hensley in section 16, of Greeley township, and has ever since made his

35 Generation 3 residence there. In addition to improving this original eighty acres, Mr. Wahlert has added thereto by the purchase of an additional eighty on the east and one hundred and twenty acres in section 20, of the same township, all of which he has improved and brought to a high state of cultivation. He has given considerable attention to the breed- ing of pure-bred stock and has a full-blooded registered Percheron stallion, one of the best animals of that breed in Audubon county. He also feeds quite a few cattle and is noted for the excellent quality of his stock, all of which is kept up to the best standard. On February 11, 1903, George Wahlert was united in marriage to Mamie Hensley, daughter of William Hensley, who died on June 7, 1906. On January 20, 1909, Mr. Wahlert married, secondly, Minnie Gripp, of Moline, Illinois, who was born on May 8, 1887, in Moline, the daughter of James H. and Anna (Dohrn) Gripp, both of whom were natives of HoilStein, Germany, who came to this country with their parents when children. The Gripps came to Audubon county in 1892, but returned to Mohne in 1904 and are still living there. To Mr. and ]\'Irs. Wahlert four children- have been born, but two of whom are living, James H., born on January 28, 1912, and Marion Arnold, July 4, 1914. Mr. and Mrs. Wahlert are not members of any church, though they are attendants on and supporters of the Methodist church. Mr. Wahlert is a Democrat and is keenly interested in the county's politics. He is a leader in his township, which he is now serving very acceptably as township trustee. He and his wife are hospitable and genial folk and are deserv- edly popular among their hosts of friends.

I am feeling well in fact I never felt better this is a good healthy country but, Oh Lord, how hot it gets. But the nights are all cool so you can sleep like a log. but we won't be here long now we are going to Florida in a short time now unless something happens. From there we go to Peurto Rico. That is the way that got us figured now. You asked if I was down to Rock Island Woodmen day (unreadable). I wasn't. I was at Springfield, Ill. That was our first day in camp. We left home April 26th and was mustered in May 11th. Well, Sis, I was to Washington yesterday. I tell you I seen more in one day than I ever seen before in my life we went through the navy yard and see them make big cannon. I seen one of the guns that come off the Maine 2.13 in guns and one 6 in and a lot of other things to numerious to mention then we went all through the library building that the finest building in the world. If ever you get to Washington take that building in if you don't see anything else. Then we went all through the capitol that is another fine place that's all the buildings we took in the Government buildings are all white stone. Then I took a trip up Washington's monument. That is 550 feet high. I had to walk up, and down too there was two loads ahead of us and we didn't want to wait so we hoofed it that is the highest I ever was you could get a fine view all over the country. I never was so tired as I was last night I was on the go all day. If a man wanted to see every thing here it would take him a month of good hard work. We got back to camp just 9 o'clock. We are camped about 10 miles from the city. Well, Sis, I don't know when I will be home again. I don't think it will be in less than two years that's what we are enlisted for. I know we won't get home if we are sent out of the U. S. not until our time is up. Well, Sis I guess I will stop here I will enclose one of my pictures it's a poor one but it's the best I can do here this is the (unreadable) place I ever was in (unreadable) till you can't (unreadable) the people are about 40 years behind here. Well I must stop here I've got 8 more letters to write. Hoping to hear from you soon I remain as ever your Bro.

It hasn't rained here but twice since we've been here we've been in camp here 6 weeks but I don't think we will stay here much longer. We've been under orders for a week to move, we got orders yesterday to be ready to pack on a minutes notice and not to leave your quarters under no consideration. I think we will get out of here within a week we have been waiting on transports to take us over to Cuba for a week. They are just getting back

43 Generation 3 there is one at New Port News now taking on coal she will be ready to take on 2,000 men by tuesday that will include us. The boys are all eager to get out, you don't know how tired we are of this place. Well Sis we had a long march this week. We went to the Potomac River under heavy marching order the river is 13 miles from camp we started out Monday Morning at 6 am and got to the river at ten and had our tents pitched that is those that didn't have to go on guard. I was one of the unlucky ones. I had to go on guard as soon as I got here. The worst of it was I was on guard all the night before. I just had time to get my breakfast and roll up my blanket and "pup tent" before we started. I expect you will think why didn't you kick well I did kick but it don't do no good to kick here. The more you kick the worse you are off. We started back from the river at 7 am the next morning but lord god it was hot. We got home at 11:00 a lot of the boys give out on the road it was 110 in the shade at 10 oclock. We don't have much drilling to do anymore but we have plenty of hard work any way. We are having Sham battles every day. We had a hot one yesterday. There were two Reg - out. I fired off 50 rounds of Blank shells. I'll tell you that is sport though there werte nearly 8,000 men in the firing lines. Great fun. And the day before there were 24 men picked out of the reg myself included, and were sent out to be the enemy. We were to keep them from capturing us. There was a whole Battalion after us between 8 and 400 men they didn't get one of us they had us surrounded once but we fought our way out and got away. My but we did run though. Well, Sis, I didn't have much of a chance to come down. I could have come too but I was figuring our coming down on woodmans day and were called out - so I couldn't come. But If I live to come back I will come and stay a whole week. If you get the kids picture taken send me one. If I'm alive. Well sis, this is pay day and I have to hustle they are paying the regiments now. Hoping this few lines will find you all well. I will close with ove from your Bro, "Dutch".

P.S. I will drop you a few lines as soon as I can if we leave here. You might as well ans here if we move the mail will follow us." Exhibit #813

"Jan 18th, 1930

Dear Sister

We are having some real Iowa winter here, it was 22 below last night at seven O'Clock, it didn't get much colder that that as the wind changed, and got warmer, it was only 20 below this morning. We have about a foot of snow, and the roads are in bad shape. They have all the main roads open but the side roads will be closed until the snow goes off next spring,. I have some driving to do but am putting it off as long as I can, have to get over to Britt thisafternoon for something.The County Attorney called me last night but wouldn't tell me what it was for, I think probably a booze case. I made Fifteen raids last week and may have missed one or two.

Della and I have talked over the situation and this is what we are willing to do. We will get a little larger house and bring Mother here, and keep her. Kathryn and the baby are here until spring. We have a house that we can get April 1st and may get it before then. After that time we will take Mother and keep her, things have been bad here the last year or two, and it has taken every thing that I can get a hold of to keep going. The house we are getting has two more rooms, and Mother can have a good room all to herself. As soon as the roads get so in the spring I will come and get Mother and bring her out here. Please let me know what you think about it.

There isn't anything exciting going on here now, since I got through with the raids, there was plenty of conversation for a few days then, but that has all died down now. Had a letter from Colonel a few days ago. They have had some snow there and has been cold. They were all well when he wrote. Bill (ed., Bill is probably Ernest's brother, William II) got in an Auto wreck

44 Generation 3 on Christmas and got his fore head cut pretty bad. Out side of that he wasn't hurt any and has gotten over it alright. I don't know what Margaret is doing but suppose that she is still with the Telephone Co. He never says much about them. He said that Mary was well. (Ed., William (Bill) II's wife was named Mary. Margaret was their daughter)

I will close as there was some men come in to see me now and I will have to take care of them. I am up for Election again and have to play politics a little

As Ever

"HUNDRED GATHERED TO PAY LAST RESPECTS TO SHERIFF WAHLERT CHURCH WAS FILLED TO CAPACITY AND MANY FORCED TO REMAIN OUTSIDE Hundreds of friends and relatives gathered in Garner Sunday afternoon and followed the remains of the late Sheriff E. H. Wahlert to the United Presbyterian church where funeral services were held.

Mr. Wahlert, while a resident of Hancock county over a period of a quarter of a century, had made a wide acquaintance and they came from all parts of the county to pay their last respects to the memory of one whom they had come to know and love. The beautiful floral offerings were silent emblems of their devotion and esteem.

Military funeral services were in charge of the American Legion and the final salute and taps

45 Generation 3 were sounded at the grave.

Deceased served in the Spanish-American war and fellow vererans acted as pallbearers. They were John Suurballe, J. R. Baggs, A. W. Anderson of Garner and Clark Armstrong, William Vecilus and V. A Blomgren of Britt. The vestry of the United Presbyterian church, J. N. Sprole, John Lyman, Orville Johnston, Walter Ross, Lee Hammond and Walter Kester were honorary pallbearers.

The Rev. D. J. Lewis, pastor, who was in charge of the services, paid Mr. Wahlert splendid tribute in the following obituary:

"Ernest H. Wahlert, the eldest child of William Wahlert and Johanna Lense Wahlert, was born June 19, 1873 in Holstein, Germany. When Mr. Wahlert was less than a year old his parents came to this country and settled near Atkinson, Ill. William Wahlert died when Mr. Wahlert was 15 years old. Immediately he left home to live with an uncle for whom he worked that he might help support the widowed mother and younger children.

In April, 1898, at the age of 25, Mr. Wahlert volunteered to bear arms in the Spanish-American war. He was assigned to Company B of the 6th Regiment of Illinois Infantry, serving under Captain Freeman Reig. Mr. Wahlert went through the Porto Rican campaign without injury, and was honorably discharged September 14, 1898.

Shortly after the war, Mr. Wahlert settled in Britt, Iowa and for 19 years, 1900-1919, was connected with the Interstate Drainage and Investment Co. Then for several years he was connected with the local Greiman Ditcher company. Later he opened a blacksmith shop in Garner at which he plied his trade until in 1929 he was prevailed upon by his many friends to run for the office of county sheriff. He entered the office of sheriff January 1, 1929 and served in that capactiy one year and one month.

On Februry 12, 1922, Mr. Wahlert was united in marriage to Susan Colin. Those of the immediate family who are left to mourn the passing of Mr. Wahlert, besides his widow, are: his mother, Mrs. Johanna Wahlert, now in her 81st year; his sisters, Mrs. Tina Grahan, Mrs Amelia Winters, Mrs. Emma Black; his brothers, William and James Wahlert; his step-children, Mrs. Kathryn Reynolds and Oliver Weiss. We cannot name the nieces, nephews, grandchildren and the great host of friends here and elsewhere, who join these mentioned ones in their beravement.

I cannot close this obituary with out making mention of the qualities in the character of Mr. Wahlert which make him "go about doing good". He was a man who ever gave of his own to help someone else - you who are closest to him can testify as to that. This was true of Mr Wahlert because of two outstanding qualities - patience and kindness. Patience is the cardinal virtue - the foundation of great character. Kindness is the fruit of that root, compassion, in the heart. These two qualities were evidenced not only to his friends and loved ones, but also to those he met and had charge of when engaged in his duty as an officer of the law. More than once prisoners were accorded the luxuries of his own home rather than being placed in the local jail. Especially was he kind and considerate of those who young in years, had been charged with a first offense. His aim was to help rather than to hinder those who had made mistakes.

Mr. Wahlert was called from our midst while discharging his duty on the evening of Feb. 4th. The particulars of that tragedy you are well aware of. A man much loved has gone from our midst!"" Exhibit #780, p 1 and 2, Newspaper and date unknown

"SHERIFF WAHLERT ACCIDENTLY KILLED Car Stalled On Grade While He Was Trying To Turn Around Mile North Of Britt

He Got out to Shovel Snow, Automatic Pistol Fell Out of Holster and Discharged

46 Generation 3 Sheriff E. H. Wahlert is dead. He came to his death while in the performance of his duty at about 10:30 P.M. Tuesday. His body was found lying beside the car by his deputy Bruce Orr at a point a short distance north of the John O'Hern place a mile and a half out of Britt on the Crystal Lake road. He was still alive when found, a shovel was lying close by and his Colt's automatic pistol but Mr. Wahlert was so weak he was unable to tell the story of the accident. A car returning to Crystal Lake bearing two men whose names the News-Tribune was unable to learn came to the scene. They assisted Bruce Orr and called Dr. C. O. Brewster to the scene immediately but when the doctor arrived Wahlert was dead. His body ws taken to the Treganza undertaking establishment where Coroner F. W. Zeiger, of Garner and a number of others examined the extent of the wounds but postponed further action until 10 o'clock this morning when an inquest was held.

County Attorney H. C. Meyer was called soon after the unfortunate sheriff was found and he in turn got in touch with the Department of Justice at Des Moines. H. V. Yackey, state agent, was dispatched to the scene and arrived at about six o'clock this morning to assist the County Attorney and Coroner in making a thorough investigation of the matter.

As the News-Tribune gets the story, Sheriff Wahlert and Deputy Orr were on the lookout for bootleggers. They followed a car out of Britt north. The car went to the driveway to Roy Clark's farm and turned around. Sheriff Wahlert let Deputy Orr out and he was hidden along the roadway on the diagonal road running northeast from the Mrs. Augusta Johnson farm home. Wahlert turned back to Britt but a short time later came out again and passed the point where his deputy was standing. This Orr was able to know because of the numbers on the sheriff's car. Wahlert proceeded on to the straight road and then on north about half way between the John O'Hern farm home (on the J. A. Redden farm) and the corner turning east to the Swan Rapp place (the Miller farm).

It appears he decided to turn around without going to the corner and in doing so slipped off the main road into loose snow and got stalled. He got out of the car with a shovel to remove some snow so he could get out. In the meantime Deputy Orr watched his car and saw that he was standing. After convincing himself that the sheriff was stuck he walked up and getting near the sherriff's car he heard a noise as of a man moaning. He then ran and discovered the sheriff lying by the car as above described.

The bullet entered his body a few inches below the navel. It had struck and passed through the tip of one finger. There were holes in the overcoat and in the pants that indicate the bullet might have passed through. The shell was left in the pistol, indicating that the fall must have discharged the shell. If the pistol had been fired from the trigger, the shell would have been ejected automatically.

Arrangements for the funeral have not been made awaiting news from relatives living at distant points. Mr. Wahlert was 57 years old, a veteran of the Spanish-American war. He had served a year and a month as sheriff. He is survived by a wife, some brothers and a sister." Exhibit #779, The Britt News-Tribune, Date unknown

"Camp Alger, June 19th, 1898 Dear Sister I received your letter a few days ago and was glad to hear from you. I am feeling well in fact I never felt better this is a good healthy country but, Oh Lord, how hot it gets. But the nights are all cool so you can sleep like a log. but we won't be here long now we are going to Florida in a short time now unless something happens. From there we go to Peurto Rico. That is the way that got us figured now. You asked if I was down to Rock Island Woodmen day (unreadable). I wasn't. I was at Springfield, Ill. That was our first day in camp. We left home April 26th and was mustered in May 11th. Well, Sis, I was to Washington yesterday. I tell you I seen more in one day than I ever seen before in my life we went through the navy yard and see them make big cannon. I seen one of the guns that come off the Maine 2.13 in guns and one 6 in and a lot of other things to numerious to mention then we went all through the library building that the finest building in the world. If ever you get to Washington take that building in if you don't see anything else. Then we went all through the capitol that is another fine place that's all the buildings we took in the Government buildings are all white stone. Then I took a trip up Washington's monument. That is 550 feet high. I had to walk up, and down too there was two loads ahead of us and we didn't want to wait so we hoofed it that is the highest I ever was you could get a fine view all over the country. I never was so tired as I was last night I was on the go all day. If a man wanted to see every thing here it would take him a month of good hard work. We got back to camp just 9 o'clock. We are camped about 10 miles from the city. Well, Sis, I don't know when I will be home again. I don't think it will be in less than two years that's what we are enlisted for. I know we won't get home if we are sent out of the U. S. not until our time is up. Well, Sis I guess I will stop here I will enclose one of my pictures it's a poor one but it's the best I can do here this is the (unreadable) place I ever was in (unreadable) till you can't (unreadable) the people are about 40 years behind here.

We went to the Potomac River under heavy marching order the river is 13 miles from camp we started out Monday Morning at 6 am and got to the river at ten and had our tents pitched that is those that didn't have to go on guard. I was one of the unlucky ones. I had to go on guard as soon as I got here. The worst of it was I was on guard all the night before. I just had time to get my breakfast and roll up my blanket and "pup tent" before we started. I expect you will think why didn't you kick well I did kick but it don't do no good to kick here. The more you kick the worse you are off. We started back from the river at 7 am the next morning but lord god it was hot. We got home at 11:00 a lot of the boys give out on the road it was 110 in the shade at 10 oclock. We don't have much drilling to do anymore but we have plenty of hard work any way. We are having Sham battles every day. We had a hot one yesterday. There were two Reg - out. I fired off 50 rounds of Blank shells. I'll tell you that is sport though there werte nearly 8,000 men in the firing lines. Great fun. And the day before there were 24 men picked out of the reg myself included, and were sent out to be the enemy. We were to keep them from

48 Generation 3 capturing us. There was a whole Battalion after us between 8 and 400 men they didn't get one of us they had us surrounded once but we fought our way out and got away. My but we did run though. Well, Sis, I didn't have much of a chance to come down. I could have come too but I was figuring our coming down on woodmans day and were called out - so I couldn't come. But If I live to come back I will come and stay a whole week. If you get the kids picture taken send me one. If I'm alive. Well sis, this is pay day and I have to hustle they are paying the regiments now. Hoping this few lines will find you all well. I will close with ove from your Bro, "Dutch". P.S.

We have about a foot of snow, and the roads are in bad shape. They have all the main roads open but the side roads will be closed until the snow goes off next spring,. I have some driving to do but am putting it off as long as I can, have to get over to Britt thisafternoon for something.The County Attorney called me last night but wouldn't tell me what it was for, I think probably a booze case. I made Fifteen raids last week and may have missed one or two. Della and I have talked over the situation and this is what we are willing to do. We will get a little larger house and bring Mother here, and keep her. Kathryn and the baby are here until spring. We have a house that we can get April 1st and may get it before then. After that time we will take Mother and keep her, things have been bad here the last year or two, and it has taken every thing that I can get a hold of to keep going. The house we are getting has two more rooms, and Mother can have a good room all to herself. As soon as the roads get so in the spring I will come and get Mother and bring her out here. Please let me know what you think about it. There isn't anything exciting going on here now, since I got through with the raids, there was plenty of conversation for a few days then, but that has all died down now. Had a letter from Colonel a few days ago. They have had some snow there and has been cold. They were all well when he wrote. Bill (ed., Bill is probably Ernest's brother, William II) got in an Auto wreck on Christmas and got his fore head cut pretty bad. Out side of that he wasn't hurt any and has gotten over it alright. I don't know what Margaret is doing but suppose that she is still with the Telephone Co. He never says much about them. He said that Mary was well. (Ed., William (Bill) II's wife was named Mary. Margaret was their daughter) I will close as there was some men come in to see me now and I will have to take care of them.

31. AMELIA WILHELMINA MARGARETA3 WAHLERT (William Edward2, Johann Christian1) was born on 18 Dec 1875 in Atkinson, Henry, Illinois, USA. She died on 30 May 1965 in Milan, Illinois. She married Machen Winters, son of John Winters and Martha Rothwell on 06 Jan 1897 in Unitarian Church, Geneseo, Illinois. He was born on 05 May 1875 in Oldham, Lancaster County, England. He died on 20 Apr 1907 in Died of burns in an industrial fire at Silvis Shops of Rock Island RR.

Notes for Amelia Wilhelmina Margareta Wahlert: "Born in Atkinson, Illinois and received a primary school education.

Moves to Britt, Iowa, in 1908 to keep house for her brother Ernest. Takes Leslie, Ernest, and Adrian with. Family attends Methodist-Episcopal Church.

Family moves back to Moline in 1915, to 1301 29th Ave, then moves to 1312 29th Ave on 28 Feb, 1916 (and stayed until about 1998). After moving back to Moline, Amelia made money by baking bread for sale. She also nursed the sick in their homes, spsending extended periods away from her family. The 1312 house did not have plumbing, city water, electricity, or central heat. It did have a telephone. They started buying the house in 1924. Adrian received some money from the Boilermakers Union when he turned 21. This was downpayment money. They bouth the house from Mr. Christianson, an owner of a general store and 23rd and 16th St. A coal burning furnace was installed (and replaced in the late 50s with a gas furnace). When Adrian married Reva he laid in plumbing and finished the upstairs rooms for his mother to live

53 Generation 3 in. City water had already been connected and the well in the back yard plugged. The house had two layers of siding: The first was asphalt shingles made to look like brick, in an unconvincing way. Later in the 1960s they had aluminum siding put on along with aluminum windows. In the mid to late 1950s a garage was added at the side of the house and the old garage back by the alley torn down. Reva mentioned this had been the outhouse. Chickens and rabbits were also raised back there at times. His Grandmother Wahlert continued to live on the main floor, dying in 1939 in the bedroom off the dining room. Amelia had gas for a stove upstairs, but no water. She used a crock to hold drinking and cooking water, stored her perishables in the refrigerator in the main kitchen.

By 1963 Amelia was becoming too frail to take care of herself or get up and down the stairs. She was put into the Comfort Harbor Nursing Home. She improved some, but then slipped in a puddle of urine and brike her hip. She never walked again. On May 30, 1965, Sunday, she died in the nursing home.

Her nickname was DeDe, given by Judie O. Winters. She wore glasses, was somewhat deaf, of average height. As an adult she developed diabetes and needed daily insulin shots, which her son Adrian gave her. She could do it herself, but preferred not to. She wore false teeth and had the dental work done at the University of Minnesota Dental School. It was very painful. She stayed with her son Leslie and Emily. She was fond of horse races and would go to see them at the county fairs. She had a hard life as a widow."

"Amelia Wahlert Winters

Known as DeDe (her mother, Johanna Wahlert was DooDoo). Names given (according to Adrian Jr.) by Judy Winters when but a youngster.

By Mom and Dad's reconing, DeDe was born on Dec 18, 1875 and died on May 30, 1965. She was the fourth child and second daughter of William Claus and Johanna Wahlert (by memory of Dad and old pictures). She was born in Portland Township, Whiteside County, Illinois in the town of Spring Hill (from 1915 Iowa State Census). She received 8 years of education (also from State Census).

In 1897, Jan 6, she married Machen Winter in Geneseo, Ill. In 1907, April, Machen died. This was one year after Walter, 6 yrs. old, died of burns. In 1908 she, Leslie, Ernest, and Adrian moved to Britt, Iowa. There she kept house for her brother Ernest. A bachelor and the oldesst of the siblings, he was called Uncle Dutch because he was the only sibling to have been born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

In Britt the family attended the Methodist Episcopal Church, Dad says. Uncle Dutch eventually married. In 1915 DeDe and family moved back to Moline, Ill. They first stayed at 1301-29th Ave but on Feb 28, 1916 they moved into 1312 29th Ave and stayed. They rented the house from Mr. Christianson, a store owner (corner of 23 Ave and 16 St) where Hardee's is now).

The house did not have internal plumbing, central heat. It did have either electricity or a telephone (per Dad). From what Dad has said, they started to buy the house in 1924. In that year, Dad reached his majority of 21 and received some money from the Illinois Lodge No. 156 (or 150) of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Iron Ship Builders and Helpers of America. This was the downpayment. Over the years the house had been improved by indoor plumbing, central heat, a full basement, siding, attached garage (late 1950s). When Adrian married in 1934 the upstairs was finished off so that DeDe could live up there. Gas was lain in, but no plumbing. She kept her food in the main kitchen fefrigerator and had a cistern for water. When they moved into 1312 the house had a pump in the back; the water was very tasty. City

54 Generation 3 water ended with 1314 (the large brick house to the east). Grandma Wahlert had moved in from Atkinson sometime earlier. She had the bedroom off of the dining room. It was there that she died in 1939(?).

By 1963 DeDe was becoming too frail to get up, take care of herself, or get up and down stairs. She was put in a nursing home in Milan, Ill., Comfort Harbour. She was improving there but slipped in a puddle of urine and broke her hip. She never walked again. On May 30, 1965 she died in the nursing home, it was a Sunday.

DeDe wore glasses, was somewhat deaf, and seemed of average height. She was fond of horse races and would go to see them at the county fairs. She develeoped deibetes and Dad would give her a daily injection of insulin. She could do it herself, but preferred not to. She had a hard life of widowhood. Starting in 1906 she saw a young child, her husband (1907) and another son (1919) die. Ernest died in 1919 of TB of the liver.

DeDe had false teeth. Apparently she first had them when she traveled to the Twin Cities. Leslie urged her to come up and have the University Dental clinic do the work for a cheap price. Meanwhile, she would stay with Leslie and Emily. This was in the 1920s.

To earn money after moving to Moline in 1915, DeDe would bake bread for sale to homes and also nursed sick adults. She would spend extended periods of time in their houses, visiting her own home only on weekends or only briefly. It must have been tight with dependent children, minimal education and only house keeping skills."

She married Ross Wesley Black, son of Robert W Black and Julia Curtain Foy on 30 May 1908. He was born on 16 Nov 1882 in Atkinson, Illinois. He died on 03 Jul 1958 in Moline, Illinois.

Notes for Emma Louise Magdalena Wahlert: "Graduated from High School in Geneseo Taught in the country schoools of Henry County for 3 years Took a 2 year course at Baptist Hospital and Training School Practiced nursing for 5 years, 1904-1909" Exhibit 775, Family Tree Maker from Robert Winters, July, 2006

Notes for Ross Wesley Black: Ross Wesley Black, the mail carrier on Route No. 2, of Atkinson, Illinois, who is distinguished by a gentlemanly bearing, kindness and a genial disposition is his relations with his patrons, was born in Atkinson, November 16, 1882, and is the eldest son of Robert W. and Julia Curtain (Foy) Black. The father, who was born in Altoona, Pennsylvania, April 17, 1856, was the fourth in a family of thirteen children, only six of whom are now living. They were Henry, who died in childhood; Elizabeth, the wife of David Sisler, who lives in Pennsylvania; George E., a resident of Altoona; Robert W., the father of our subject; Ruth, who died at the age of nineteen years; Henrietta, the wife of Charles Daugherty, of Altoona, Pennsylvania; Minnie, the wife of William Bowser of Pennsylvania; Susan, the wife of Edward Smeigh, also of Pennsylvania; and five others who died young.

In his youth Robert W Black learned the trade of a painter and decorator and followed it for five years in the Pennsylvania car shop and in the car shops at Altoona for two or three years, when he lost his health. He then engaged in farming for two years, after which he returned to his trade. In 1876 he came to Atkinson, Illinois, and has since made this town his home. His wife, Mrs Julia C Black, was born September 16, 1860, and was a daughter of Gideon and Mary Ann (Bryan) Foy. Both parents were natives of Pennsylvania and are buried side by side in Adams County, Iowa, their deaths having occurred in the state, the mother's in Prescott in 1895, the father's five years later. The later was a farmer all his life and was the father of ten children, six boys and four girls, all but the youngest born in Pennsylvania. They were John W., of Galesburg, Illinois, a member of the legislature of this state in 1877, when he espoused the cause of the Greenback Party; Stephen, of Prescott, Iowa; Sarah, the wife of G. A. Aboners of Creston, Iowa; James W., of Prescott, Iowa; Tonar, who died in January, 1894, in Prescott, Iowa, though a resident of Atkinson, Illinois; Samuel A., of Prescott, Iowa; Mary Elizabeth, who was the wife of Robert Parker, of Atkinson, and died in November, 1877, being buried in Fair View Cemetery; Julia Curtain, the wife of Robert Black of this review; Laura M., the wife of James Campbell, of Prescott, Iowa; and Warren B., born in Illinois, living now in Kansas. In her girlhood, Mrs. Black attended the school in which her two sons and her daughter-in-law at one time taught, for she was reared in this locality. By her marriage to Mr. Black she became the mother of six children: Ross W.; George Edward, who was born in Atkinson in 1887 and is in business with his father; Ruth Anna, a graduate of the Atkinson High School and now a teacher in the country schools of the township; Robert Julian, also a graduate of the high school and like his sister a teacher in the country schools; Susan May, now a pupil in the high school; and Julia Foy, attending school. The parents live in what is known as the riley Addition to Atkinson, where in 1989 Mr. Black erected a very pretty home. He is a man who was compelled to rely upon himself for his success in the world and by his own efforts has acquired a comfortable

58 Generation 3 living. His educational advantages having been somewhat limited he has spared no pains to give his children the best schooling within his power. Politically he is in sympathy with the Prohibitionist Party and is a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Woodmen. Mrs. Black is a Royal Neighbor, and both husband and wife belong to the congregational Church.

Ross W. Black received his education in the schools of Atkinson and was graduated from the high school with the class of 1899. Immediately upon the expiration of his own school days he engaged in teaching and during the two years he was connected with the schools of Henry County achieved success as a popular and progressive instructor, who possessed the faculty of endearing himself to his pupils. Subsequent to his experience as a teacher he took a course of one year at Brown's Business College at Davenport, Iowa, and then in 1905 began carrying the mail from Atkinson to the residents on Route 2. Here again the amiable qualities of his personality came to the front and he has made a large number of friends, who are attracted by the heartiness of his greeting and courtesy of his bearing.

On the 30th of May, 1908, Mr. Black married Miss Emma Louisa Wahlert. She was born in Cornwall, Atkinson Township, in 1880, and is a daughter of William and Johanna (Lehse) Wahlert. The parent were born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, between 1840 and 1850 and came to America in 1874, being three weeks in crossing the ocean. They settled first in Cornwall Township, where the father engaged in farming, and then came to Atkinson, where he worked as a laborer and where he died about twenty-five years ago. The mother is still living in Atkinson at the age of sixty years. Of the children that were born to Mr. and Mr. Wahlert, six are now living: Ernest, a mechanical engineer of Britt, Iowa; Lena, the wife of Robert Graham, of Atkinson, Illinois; Amelia, the widow of Machen Winters, who lives in Iowa with her four sons; William Claus, also mechanical engineer of Britt; Emma Louisa, now Mrs. Ross W. Black; and James, who is a soldier in the Philippines. Mrs Black attended the graded schools of Atchinson until she was twelve and then continued her education in the high school of Geneseo, from which she graduated in 1899. She also engaged in teaching in the country schools of Henry County for three years and then took a two years course in the Baptist Hospital and Training School, from which in 1904 she received her diploma as a trained nurse. For almost five years she practiced her profession in Annawan, Atkinson and Geneseo, and by her physicians was considered a very capable woman and one of the best nurses in this locality. A son, Henry Thomas, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Black, September 14, 1909.

Mr. and Mrs. Black are members of the Congregational Church and the Royal Neighbors. They both possess to an unusual degree the capacity for making strong friendships and hold an enviable place in the hearts of the people of Atkinson. Politically Mr. Black is connected with the Prohibition Party." Exhibit #184, History of Henry County Illinois, Henry L. Kiner, Volume II, Chicago: The Pioneer Publishing Company, 1910

In her girlhood, Mrs. Black attended the school in which her two sons and her daughter-in-law at one time taught, for she was reared in this locality. By her marriage to Mr. Black she became the mother of six children: Ross W.; George Edward, who was born in Atkinson in 1887 and is in business with his father; Ruth Anna, a graduate of the Atkinson High School and now a teacher in the country schools of the township; Robert Julian, also a graduate of the high school and like his sister a teacher in the country schools; Susan May, now a pupil in the high school; and Julia Foy, attending school. The parents live in what is known as the riley Addition to Atkinson, where in 1989 Mr. Black erected a very pretty home. He is a man who was compelled to rely upon himself for his success in the world and by his own efforts has acquired a comfortable living. His educational advantages having been somewhat limited he has spared no pains to give his children the best schooling within his power. Politically he is in sympathy with the Prohibitionist Party and is a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Woodmen. Mrs. Black is a Royal Neighbor, and both husband and wife belong to the congregational Church. Ross W. Black received his education in the schools of Atkinson and was graduated from the high school with the class of 1899. Immediately upon the expiration of his own school days he engaged in teaching and during the two years he was connected with the schools of Henry County achieved success as a popular and progressive instructor, who possessed the faculty of endearing himself to his pupils. Subsequent to his experience as a teacher he took a course of one year at Brown's Business College at Davenport, Iowa, and then in 1905 began carrying the mail from Atkinson to the residents on Route 2. Here again the amiable qualities of his personality came to the front and he has made a large number of friends, who are attracted by the heartiness of his greeting and courtesy of his bearing. On the 30th of May, 1908, Mr. Black married Miss Emma Louisa Wahlert. She was born in Cornwall, Atkinson Township, in 1880, and is a daughter of William and Johanna (Lehse) Wahlert. The parent were born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, between 1840 and 1850 and came to America in 1874, being three weeks in crossing the ocean. They settled first in Cornwall Township, where the father engaged in farming, and then came to Atkinson, where he worked as a laborer and where he died about twenty-five years ago. The mother is still living in Atkinson at the age of sixty years. Of the children that were born to Mr. and Mr. Wahlert, six are now living: Ernest, a mechanical engineer of Britt, Iowa; Lena, the wife of Robert Graham, of Atkinson, Illinois; Amelia, the widow of Machen Winters, who lives in Iowa with her four sons; William Claus, also mechanical engineer of Britt; Emma Louisa, now Mrs. Ross W. Black; and James, who is a soldier in the Philippines. Mrs Black attended the graded schools of Atchinson until she was twelve and then continued her education in the high school of Geneseo, from which she graduated in 1899. She also engaged in teaching in the country schools of Henry County for three years and then took a two years course in the Baptist Hospital and Training School, from which in 1904 she received her diploma as a trained nurse. For almost five years she practiced her profession in Annawan, Atkinson and Geneseo, and by her physicians was considered a very capable woman and one of the best nurses in this locality. A son, Henry Thomas, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Black, September 14, 1909. Mr. and Mrs. Black are members of the Congregational Church and the Royal Neighbors. They both possess to an unusual degree the capacity for making strong friendships and hold an enviable place in the hearts of the people of Atkinson. Politically Mr. Black is connected with the Prohibition Party." Exhibit #184, History of Henry County Illinois, Henry L. Kiner, Volume II, Chicago: The Pioneer Publishing Company, 1910

Notes for James Wahlert: "Adrian Winters remembered his Uncle Ernest Wahlert bringing Uncle Jim Wahlert back to Britt after his jail time for desertion from the army. Jim Wahlert moved to Britt in 1908. Einar Miller and subsquently the Wahlerts of SW Iowa lists Jim as "Disappeared during WWI and Phia Gannet said he had died during WWI" Exhibit #775, Family Tree Maker from Robert Winters, July 2006, p 7

Exhibit #930, email from Robert Winters, April, 2011 Hi, Howard: I was going through some family notes and put some order to the public record of James Wahlert, youngest child of William Claus Wahlert, son of Johan Christ Wahlert. James is a black sheep of the family. He has been described as lost during WW One. My dad said he remembered his unlce Ernest (oldest son of William Claus W.) picking up James at the train station after he got out of prison. Well, he was in prison and abandoned the family. With the help of Zella Myrick, well practiced German genealogist, we have a paper trail.

James birthdate is listed as January 1884 (unverified, probably from a state of Iowa census)

The US Army Register of Enlistments 1798-1914 lists him: Enlisted 10 Jan 1905 at Fort Bliss, Texas, 5' 9 3/4", 21 yrs old, born Atkinson, Illinois. 22nd Infantry, Co. K. Deserted 4 April 1906, apprehended 8 July 1908, dishonorably discharged 18 Dec 1908. I have a photo copy of the register. It is hard to read, but legible enough.

1915 Iowa Census. He is listed living in Britt with wife and child(ren), also lists 22nd Reg, Co. K..

1920 US Census: still in Britt with wife and child Richard James Wahlert. Also Milford Ostrander listed as a son. Milford is his wife's son from an earlier marriage.

1925 Iowa Census: No James Wahlert, wife listed as widowed with sons Milford and RIchard James Wahlert. Sometime between 1920 and 1925 James took off, never heard from again, unless there are some letters in a Wahlert attic with more story. I've not seen any old letters here that talk about him.

1930 US Census: Alice Wahlert with sons Milford and RIchard James W. lived in Washabaugh Co, South Dakota. All three are laborers on a farm(s). The county no longer exists, Wikipedia had an interesting and short entry for it, located in the northeast corner of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

There is more on Richard James W. because he was working for the Army in 1941 in Hawaii. He shows up on ship passenger lists:

Honolulu Hawaii Passenger Lists, 1900-1953 (AncestryLibrary.com):

61 Generation 3

SF to Honolulu, 2 Mar 1941-9 Mar 1941 on the SS President Grant His wife to be, Christine, was born in Hawaii Terr., nee Gomes, and arrived back in Hawaii in April of that year on the SS Masonia, listed we believe as Christine Bostrom.

Richard James W. is listed again in 1949

Honolulu to SF, 16 Feb 1949 to 21 Feb 1949 on the SS W.H. Gordon

Christine Wahlert traveled back to SF on the Gordon, 8 July 1949 to 16 July 1949.

I have some loose papers with their death dates from the Calf. Death Index, also a picture of the two at a nightclub posted online by a family friend who had been married to a daughter of Christine from an earlier marriage (Christine Bostrom, I believe). This man would visit with Richard and Christine, liked them a lot.

The Calf Marriage Index lists them as marrying in the 1970s. Perhaps they restated their vows, maybe they were common law until then. The Wahlerts lived in Alameda, San Leandro, and Hayward, CA. (US Public Records Index, AncestryLibrary.com) and died in the early to mid 1990s.

Notes for Amelia Magdalena Wahlert: The following is from the typed text (transcribed July 2, 1994) of an interview of September 29, 1993, with Ethyln Huss Hopkins, Vada Huss Caltrider and Leona Huss Barnhouse at Vada's home in Adair, Iowa. Helen Huss Westergaard Stroeber was in the Community Care Center and was not present. This transcript contains the main points of the conversation and may be paraphrased. Parts not considered relevant to family history was not transcribed. Howard Wahlert owns the original audiotapes. The typed transcription is filed as Exhibit #744. Where the speaker's name is not given at the beginning of the line, I could not tell from the tape that belonged to the voice. Vada: I have 5 children. Helen is very disabled. Our father had two fingers that were off to the side with arthritis. I told her that she had two and mine are on the way (laughter). But Ethelyn and Leona don't show signs of that yet. From our mother's side, the Wahlert side, we get the diabetes, and the arthritis and asthma from the other side of the family. Howard: Now your mother was a Wahlert and that was... Wada: Yes - Amelia Magdalena Howard: John Edward's daughter Vada: Yes - I wouldn't have written to you if you had not said you knew nothing about John Edward and he was my grandpa and that is why I wrote to you. Howard: I'm glad you did. Mom's younger sister is Elsie. Howard: Elsie never got married? No This is John Edward's mother - Elsabea. (Ed. We spend most of the day going through photographs. A lot of the conversation is about those photos) Howard: We don't have a picture of Johann Vada: I don't think there is one That is grandpa John Ed and his wife Elizabeth - he called her Lisa. Here they are the way I remember them although I used to go out to the farm and ride their horses and stuff like that. And here is the whole family except for George Richard - the little baby that died at 3 months. Howard: Have you seen my latest newsletter? I have a cousin, a first cousin that looks just like John Edward. They are just 100 years apart. Now this is John Edward and his youngest son Henry. His dad, this is the oldest son, my mom first met Ed then Elsie then Henry. This is uncle Jake. Here are the two sisters, aunt Kate and (inaudible). This is uncle Fred. Howard: Uncle Fred - which Fred Grandpa Wahlert's oldest brother. I always thought he was grouchy but he wasn't - he was just old like I am now (laugh). So it would be your grandpa Wahlert's brother. Yes This is my grandpa and this one I'll keep because every time he smiled a lot, his face just crinkled up around his eyes just so..... I just loved to watch him. (Leona Barnhouse entered the house with her son Charles.) Did you tell him about the Hotel and accidentally ran into Carl Wahlert? I was managing the Stuart motor lodge and they came in. Howard: They came in? Yes - just to have a room. I heard their last name and I said, hey, maybe you are our relation. Those eyes, you could hardly mistake.... How does he fit in? Carl and Leona? Well I know... Carl had a sister named Leona? Yes Is Leona in South Dakota? He is but I'm not sure - I don't think she was. I had a picture of them when they were little. I think I ended up with a picture of that beautiful girl and her brother. They had such pretty eyes and the minute I saw that man's eyes, I thought he sure looks that little boy that was in that picture and it was him! Do you know who his father was? No This is a??? That my grandfather bought. He came over from Germany (Ed. talking about John Edward) - but he came over illegally. He slipped over to Liverpool and said that he got into an awful mess of bedbugs. Now this was Ed - this was the Ed Wahlert Farm? Yes So

65 Generation 3 grandpa Ed came over illegally? Well, my grandpa Huss had papers that said that everything was OK and I just thought the way grandpa Wahlert talked he said they wouldn't let him take any money out of Germany and he said he heard that (he may have to serve in the military)...... every morning when he woke up he could hear it on the pavement (hobnail boots from the soldiers) and said he didn't want any of that so that is why he slipped over here. Not any of our grandparents knew each other over there. They all got acquainted over here. Do you have a map - do you know what I'm talking about Howard: Yes I have a map at home (Getting the maps) Grandma Wahlert came from here Duisenberg? Yew Grandpa Huss came, his papers, his immigration, he sailed from Heide. His papers say he embarked from Heide. Grandma Huss came from here. Selent. Ethyln has been here. And grandpa Wahlert came from here. Grandpa Wahlert came from Schleswig? Yes Margaret - she and her husband got married over there. She evidently was older and had all those kids. (Ed. Margaret was born before John Edward. John Edward is the youngest child of Johann. Margaret married Fred Lorenz in Germany. She had nine children. I have no information on Fred Lorenz or their separation, etc) and then he came in and told grandpa, I don't know if he was living on the farm or in town, but he came and told him that he was leaving his family and nobody ever found out where he went. They said he was mean to his family for one thing. They had a lot of kids. They finally went to Casey and spread out. We have a lady that goes to church in Casey that is descended from that line and I can not get her to give me any information because she resents the fact that her father walked and left the family and she doesn't want that publicized I guess. She is not going to say anything about her father? Grandma Wahlert told me that she, in Illinois, made shirts, dress shirts for men, she got such a business going that she had a boy deliver the shirts and this one particular day there was an Ed Wahlert who had ordered a shirt and he could not work that day and she had to deliver the shirt herself and that is how she met grandpa. If your grandpa Wahlert was from Schleswig, can I assume his brothers are from Schleswig? I don't know Do you know was he from the town of Schleswig or from the area of Schleswig? He used to tell me about walking down one of the beautiful streets of Schleswig that was covered with, bordered with, Linden trees. And that he stopped and carved his name one day on a Linden tree so I know that he lived there but I don't know.... And that was you grandpa who was Eddie J? Yes Now Dorpling. Does that ring a bell? Dorpling's name has changed hasn't it? You told me that when you came back from Germany you could not find a Dorpling because they had changed the name of it. I found a Dorpling, now where did I find that? At any rate I found it on an old map and it is in this area close to Schleswig. (Ed. Other non-relevant conversation) My grandma's younger sister and she lived to be over 100. Which grandma My grandma Wahlert, Elizabeth I have some postcards that have Starman and that was her name. Elsabea's maiden name was a Starman. This was a relative of Elsabea but you don't know if it is a brother of what? No Going back to this is your grandmother's sister Youngest sister and we went to see her and she was over 100 Oh...that is Anna who married Adolph Meyer. Alvina Lindberg is Anna Meyer's sister? Yes And this Alvina Lindberg lived to be over 100? 102 or 104, yes. That is the Toners - we are getting off track Thanks (laughter) This is Ed and his wife. The oldest son of John Edward Here is the youngest son - Henry. He had both legs amputated because had had diabetes. And he had one let amputates - his brother. That is about all of them. And Elsie. George Richard might be there George Richard Wahlert, son of John Edward and Elizabeth, died at age of 3 1/2 months of Eczema. Mom said it went inside is that the way they explained it to you? Yes. They thought he was well and there he died because that shouldn't go inside. He went by the name Richard? Yes because grandpa had a hired man named Richard and he said he would give the money to have him buried or something like that. How would he know that though? Maybe they knew right away that he wasn't going to live. I don't know. Anyway that hired man paid the bills. But they named him after the hired man? Yes And he is buried at Pleasant Hill? Yes I would like to tell you something about grandma Wahlert. She told me one time. See she would have been 19, the way I figured it when she came over. Grandma Tonner or Conner (Ed. from her marriage certificate we know the last name to be Turner. Exhibit #739) coming through at the time. She said that they were steerage class like you mentioned in that one newsletter. That they were on the lower deck. She told me that very plainly, I mean that there was hardly anything to eat. But she said there was a cabin boy who took a liking to her on board ship and he would steal coffee from the captain's quarters and give it to her so they would have coffee to drink with their hard biscuits. But they had hard biscuits? Yes Those biscuits must have been a common thing.

66 Generation 3 Yes. They would not get moldy. We went to the Wahlert reunion in Brush, Roy and I did. When was this? August 1982. You knew Fred real well and that is why you went out? Yes Which Fred was this? I'm thinking of Jurgen's son Fred who moved to Colorado year's age. Grandpa had a brother named Fred who moved and settled around Dexter. Yes But which Fred in Colorado is this? I don't know but I'm sure it is not the one in Dexter. Randal Wahlert is the one in Dexter who you can contact about Fred's line. He married a Harris girl. Ever heard of the Harris House in Stuart? Corvette? Corvette is the mother. We had a unique father - he kept a scrapbook of everything that was in the paper. It is in her son's hands if you ever want to see it. This was when Bertha Hackwell celebrated her 90th. Jurgen was born in Suhlut You have to be sure - when they saw that old fashioned f, they took it as an s instead of an f. So it could be Fuh..... (Talking about the pronunciation of Wahlert) Grandpa said it was like "Vel-lert" - it is so hard for me to say. (Talking about Elsabea) Elsabea never married and she lived with you? (Ed. Elsabea is a sister to Amelia) Yes. She was born prematurely apparently because she would fit in a cigar box. Grandma carried around. She would put cloth in her mouth with sugar inside and let her suck on that and kept her alive on that. Do you know how premature she was? Two months. She did not have, mom said she did not have a forehead but her hair was still growing from down here from where her eyes were. Grandma carried her on a pillow when she worked..... I don't know how grandma dept her alive without an incubator That is unusual for those days. She lived to 84. You said she lived with you and you didn't want to do what she wanted to do? Well see, she was our second mother. She would tell us something to do and we would say to ourselves, well mom didn't tell us to do that! My kids do that to me today! As she grew older, she grew closer. She told me that she felt more like her sister instead of her niece because after we were married she would come out and take care of Charles when he was little and I worked out in the field. We were real close. Leona: I was the last one married and the only one that had a big wedding. I wanted a career first. Howard: You did? OH, yes! And how did your career go? Oh, you don't want to go into that story. It all had to do with the service. Vada had someone stationed in Seattle, Washington and she wanted to go out and see him before he got sent out of the U.S. Mom and Dad thought, oh, two girls could not get into any more trouble than one alone so they offered to pay my way if I went with her. We were so ignorant of how to travel we didn't know enought to get a reservation. And if you can imagine trying to get on a train, a troupe train, without a reservation, in Omaha. We sat on our suitcases as long as we could and finally a conductor came along. He had a cubbyhole with a built-in desk and a chair in front of it. He said you girls can use this when I'm not working. So I would sit on the chair and put my head on her lap and she would bend over and put her head on my back and that is the way we slept. One day when a couple of soldiers saw this, they said how would you like to use our seats while we go back to eat in the diner. And of course when they got back we were long gone (asleep). I don't know how long they sat on our suitcases waiting for us to wake up. We sure appreciated that - out legs swelled so! Then we had to change trains at Portland to get a shuttle train to Seattle. It was and old Jim Crow cars from the south - had an old pot-bellied stove in the middle with all the seats around it. No reservations on that train what so ever. So Veda was up there toward the front to get on and I was way in the back - I was always slower that she getting around. Some lady did like this and gave her a shove out of the way and the conductor saw that and he said "you just let that lady with that suitcase through" so he made her an isle so she could get through. And she says but my sister is way back there. And he said OK, let the sister get through, too. We got the choice seat on that Jim Crow. So you got to Seattle. Now this started with your career? Oh, yes, but I could write a book. Generally, what did you do? What was your career? Well, we, .....Go ahead...... Don was,...... I was pregnant. (Ed. this is Vada speaking - she married Don Caltrider) So I had to come home because they didn't let you stay there if you had kids. So I came on home and Leona went her way and Don went his but Don went up to Alaska and was out on Adiak. Leone got involved with the church. She was a parish worker at one time, a teacher another time., was involved in kind of a club. She had quite of a time up there. We went to a church that was called Trinity Lutheran. When the minister found out that she was going to go home to Iowa he said to me what are you going to do? I said I would probably go home also. He says, you were a teacher weren't you? I said yes. He said how would you like to teach in our Lutheran school for a year. They had bylaws where you had to be a man to teach but during the war they couldn't get a men. I said I've never taught in a Lutheran school before. He said we'll teach you everything you need to know. And they did. They took me under their wings. The upper grade

67 Generation 3 teacher was the principle and he taught me everything I needed to know. When the year was up they got their men teacher. He said now what are you going to do. I said now I'm going to go home. He said well, don't take any job when you get home because I think you'll be hearing from us. A couple months later, in August, Veda and I, well first of all this letter came and it was a call, like a minister gets a call and it was a call to be a parish worker. I couldn't make up my mind whether I wanted to go or not. Veda and I were singing at the piano on Sunday and we sere singing "As thy own way, Lord". And just then goose flesh broke out all over me and I said I know my answer right now. I accepted the call and I went back on my own, on my own. I took (Unintelligible) out there in Portland and he sent me to Seattle. I canvassed 4,000 homes. Started (being a preacher) out there. How long were you out there? That was in the 40's and I came home in the 50's. When they found out that I was a teacher then I ended up mostly filling in where they could not get a teacher. I would be sent anywhere. That is why I ended up at Kennwick(??). Don't know the name Kennewick, across the Columbia from Pasco and Hanford Atomic bomb plant. Right north of Pendleton, Wash. I taught there one year. They said how would you like to quit being a parish worker and go on teaching forever? I said I don't think so. They said we will pay your way to college. I wanted more training in college like no body's business but I couldn't afford it. Well, I thought here is my chance so I quit being a parish worker and went back to college. I had to teach for them for two more years. Then is that about the time you come back? Well, then I think mom and dad were beginning to get lonesome for me and there was this friend whom I eventually married who was waiting here for me here all this time. I don't know why he waited for so long but he did. He came out to visit. He had relatives at Mound View Wash, and supposedly dropped off to see me. He also dropped a hint that dad said what that girl sees out there I don't know. Why doesn't she come home? Well it must have been the right seed because I decided to come home. Then I couldn't decide to marry him right away because he was so stubborn. So I went to Reverend Henry (?) and asked and asked if he could find me a job teaching around here until I decide what I want to do. So he found a job in Council Bluffs for me and I taught there until we finally got things settled and did get married and still disagree. But you've lived here ever since? Yes, on the farm. (Talking about the grandparents speaking German) You should have heard the German fly. You talk about the language barrier. I'm surprised at how much info we could have gotten if we could have understood what everyone was saying. We would to in to visit grandma and grandpa and the German would fly. Oh, yes. They would have to play 500 on Sunday afternoon. Your grandpa? Yes - our folks and our grandparents. And they would speak German? Oh, yes. When you were young could you speak and understand German? I did pick up more than I should have. Because one-day dad said something to mom in German that we weren't supposed to understand and I looked up and I said "Ya". I understood him to say to mom "we can't talk German in front of her anymore!". (laughter). I understood that too - so I picked up too much. Well in World War I my mother told me not to yell any German words - my grandparents already lived in town - she said not to say any German words out loud. They were rather strict about that. In WWI, yes. There was a lot of anti German feelings at that time! Grandma told me about someone that had a quilt that had the German swastika on it and the neighbors took it down and burned it. Howard: Speaking of German, before we get off of that, I find it interesting that your grandparents spoke German. You see, your grandparents got together with my g- grandfather and they all spoke German. Then the kids missed or couldn't understand or something and the old family stories from Germany never came down to the younger generations and there is no one I know that knows anything about Germany. It was lost when the language changed. (Ed. The shift in language from German to English certainly contributed to the loss of oral history. However, during the early 1900s and well into the 1950s, it was not acceptable to admit, or discuss, one's German heritage due to the anti-German feelings of the time.) I can tell you one thing that happened when I started to school. I had a beautiful handkerchief that had beautiful crocheting around it that grandma had done. The teacher said "oh, what beautiful crocheting" and I said that is not crocheting, that is "hickling". I came home and told mom what a dumb teacher I had because she didn't know crocheting from hickling. Well, hickling is German and I didn't know the difference. You see, I had enough words to get me into trouble. Did you explain to him about this? (Vada about the signatures on a piece of paper) I learned to draw in 1935; someone had given me a drawing pencil for Christmas. So one time when we were all together I had everyone sign his or her name with my new drawing pencil Apparently, Alvin was quite small at that time. The interesting thing was, I think it was

68 Generation 3 (???) that told me that grandma Wahlert couldn't sign her name and didn't know how to spell her last name in English. So she traced over grandpa's until she could write it like he did and memorized his way that is why the writing is so much alike. She was working out for the richer people in Busenwert when she was Tonner (Ed. Turner), I think, yes. So usually, they had wooden floors; she had to scrap that dirt out between the boards of the wooden floors. Co you know, were the Wahlert's farmers in Germany? Grandpa was a mason, a bricklayer in Germany. I don't know about the others. (Looking at more photographs) Vada: Here are all my kids, Larry and Linda Lynn on the end and Lyle and (???). Carbon monoxide Ah, in a car obviously or how did it happen? Now, he, the car he usually drives, he put it in the garage. They say that gas is more potent than..... Then he went back after his sweater that he left in the car. And it got him that quick then? Oh, yes. Here is my brother Edward. As a young guy. He had infantile paralysis. End of Audio Tape

Notes for Ray Lyle Wahlert: Excerpts of a conversation with Ray Wahlert, Mike and Beulah Wahlert - Sept, 1992. Original audio tape owned by Howard Wahlert. Transcript is Exhibit #745. Ray: Grandpa had a big old watch. Dad got that watch when Grandpa was in later years. Back when you kids were staying with him. Grandpa was going to throw away the watch so Dad took it. If I remember right, that was Jake Grant's watch. Bill has the watch now. Bill wanted the watch and I wanted their clock. Marge: I remember Jake Grant, when we were first married. He was a little short guy.... Mike: Ya, little and short. As big around as he was tall. Ya, I remember od Jake Grant. He, we, used to go up there and Jake would always be there. I didn't know he was any relation. Marge: Well, how did I get, somebody told me that Jake got shot when a gang went through Adair. Ray: Yes, now that you mention that, I remember that story. I think I've heard Grandpa Wahlert tell that story. I've forgot until you mentioned it. Mike: I don't think he ever did get married. Marge: No. He didn't. Bud's dad (George son of Jurgen) was the administrator of his estate when he died.

Notes for Lyman Everett Wahlert: The following transcribed conversation took place at the residence of Mike (Lyman) and Beulah Wahlert in Atlantic on the 10th of August 1992 and retyped here on June 10, 2004. Howard Wahlert owns the original tapes. The original transcription is filed as Exhibit #743. Present were Howard Wahlert and his mother, Marjorie, in addition to Mike and Beulah. The following was transcribed from tape. Very little, but some, wording is paraphrased and some was unintelligible. The conversation is in progress in the living room: Mike: I got done harrowing one day and I left it lay there. The wind blew from the south day after day. When I went back out there to get it, all I could see was about that much of the levers sticking out of the dirt. I had a heck of a time getting that thing out of there. I had to dig it out finally - you couldn't pull it because it was packed right in there. Howard: When was that did you say, 1934? Mike: That was, I can't remember, but that was probably in '34. Howard: But the wind blew out of the south? Mike: It came out of the south just day after day after day. It blew the barbed wire fences under; it just laid those fences down just like it snowed. Howard: Where did you farm back then? Mike: I was in Anita then. Dad had a farm over there. We were married in '34 and I started farming. I rented 80 acres right next to Dad there. I tell you, we really had to struggle. Back in them days, you didn't know what it was to have the Government come around and help you. The story was going around the other day that the farmers now worry about getting their job checks before their wet payments (a reference to the government drought payments and the unusual wet summer). Howard: That was t tough time. That's when you started, then? Mike: The land company, the fella that lived on that place before I rented it, he bought it and he said he couldn't make it go and he let it go back to the land company. Farm after farm around there

95 Generation 4 went back. They pert near give 'em to you, to get rid of them. I rented that and moved Beulah there. I lived there two years. That was '34 and '35. Then they sold it again. They sold it to somebody and I had to move out. In '35 we had a pretty decent crop. I moved up north of town on another 80 acres. In'36 I never raised nothing again. We didn't have no corn, no oats, no had - nothing! Howard: Just enough to get along on, I suppose. Mike: I had 80 or 90 acres of corn fodder in '34. Had a guy come in, hired a guy with a corn binder, come in and shocked it up. Had to run it through the thrashing machine, blew it in our barn. That's what we fed our cows. In '35 we had a pretty decent crop, good grain and pasture but '36 turned out the same way. We had to cut corn fodder again. I never thrashed any. I just hauled it in and stacked it up. I had quiet a lot of sheep (ed. unsure of this word) that year and I picked some corn, had a little ear corn. In '35 I had a pretty good crop I hadn't used it all and I (?) it up in that used corn.... unintelligible...... ha, they say thems the good old days but, ha, I don't want to see any more good old days. Not me! I tell you, after that whenever it got a little dry, people would start hollering about this or that or get a little to wet like now people start crying, I say let it rain, I don't mind it at all! Mike: Well it was all the same way down here. Everybody lost the farm, lost everything they had. Howard: Well what about your dad, did he stick through all that? He was farming at that time. Mike: Oh, yeah. He had (unintelligible). Pause in conversation. 100 acres there. Most of the time we farmed with just horses. That is all we had to farm with, we didn't have any tractors. All the harvesting we did all that with horses. It didn't cost you nothing to farm. Didn't have to put on fertilizers and all that stuff. Now you have to spend $100 to $150 an acre to farm but you can't farm that way .....aah..... I don't know, I, I never did use any fertilizer farming. I would seed it down in hay ground - alfalfa and left it set there about 2 years, 3 years and plow it up (unintelligible) lot of hogs, fed quite a few cattle and haul manure, haul manure, haul manure. (ed. My father, Marion Wahlert, was a cousin to Mike and of the same relative age. In the late 1970s my parents lived on an acreage I owned at Crescent, Iowa. I had a bit of excess fertilizer in my garage I had to get rid of. Instead of throwing it in the garbage, I took it to the acreage and spread it over his garden. Dad would never face confrontation but mom later let me know how unhappy he was that I put fertilizer on his garden! (6/10/2004)) Howard: Now that is farming the way I remember it - back in the 40s. See I was born in '40 so I remember '45 to the 50s when I was on the farm. Mike: Ya, now you never see them, very seldom see them haul a load of manure out. They pile it up somewhere so the cattle can get up on it. Howard: Ya, so the cattle can get up on it to stay dry. Mike: They don't raise any hogs anymore to amount to anything. Its all confinement, everything is confinement. I don't believe this meat is (unintelligible) used to let them run all over the farm you know let them eat what they wanted to eat (unintelligible) that meat, it gets strong. Now you buy these pork chops and they are like an old dishrag. Chicken. The same way. You buy chicken and they are so flabby. They just put them in and feed them like the dickens. Howard: Right. They don't get any exercise. All cooped up and that affects the meat. Mike: I don't think chickens taste as good as it used to. ha. but I don't know. Most of these farmers around in there, they don't have no (?) to haul its just farming, straight farming. They raise corn and beans. Corn and beans. That's all there is. Hurry up and get the grain planted and then the summer, they never cultivate it anymore. They use a lot of no-till farming. They just go out there and fix the sprayer and spray it. Pick it and go to the store. Go fishing. Ha Go to California or Arizona and spend it later. Howard: Well, how many brothers and sisters did you have, Mike? Mike: I had one brother and two sisters. I don't suppose you ever knew any of them either? Howard: No.... Mike: They are all gone now. I'm the only one that is left. Later in the Kitchen: Mike: All I can remember is, grandpa, dad's dad Marge: Jurgen? Mike: Jurgen, yes. Jurgen, George, whatever his mane was. They came over here on an old sailboat when they came over here. And he said some days they would move right along then all at once the wind would quit and they would set out there for days, he said they would set for days and wouldn't get anywhere. He said they finally ran out of anything to eat except (ha) hard biscuits and they would (bang) crack them with a hammer, he said, soak em in a little water and that is all they had to eat for..... Howard: So Jurgen came over in a sailboat? Mike: It was a sailboat the way I understood it. Howard: You don't remember a name of the boat or anything? Mike : No, I don't remember the name Howard: Do you remember the year? Mike: the year or nothing..... Howard: Do you remember what port they came in, Mike? Mike: Ah, I don't, I can't tell you anything..... The conversation then turned to where Jurgen is buried. Marge: Now, I remember when she died (Lena). When he died, I don't know. When she died was in '34, right after Bud (Marion) and I

96 Generation 4 was married. Mike: "34 - that is when we were married! What time of the year was it when..... Marge: June when we were married. Beulah: We were married in May, May 12th. Marge: Well, she died; well it was just after we were married and we were married in June, she died just shortly after we..... Mike: along towards July. Beulah: Well I kind of....it was....I went to Exira with you and, my Gosh, those Wahlerts just overwhelmed me! (all laugh - especially Mike). What am I getting myself into!? Marge: That's what I say because I remember. At the time we were married, she was in bed, sick! Beulah: Yes. I think that is the only way I remember her. Mike: She was getting up there in years too, I think. Marge: How old was she when she died, do you know, Howard? Howard: No but I have that in my records. Mike: She was getting up close to 90 years old I think. (Ed. Lena died June 28, 1934 in Exira, Iowa at the age of 92) Marge: Oh, ya. I'm sure of that. Pause in conversation Marge: He puts all this stuff in his computer. Mike: Well, I suppose, ya. Howard: Another modern invention - you didn't have those in '34 either, Mike. Mike: Ha! Didn't have anything to say if it was going to rain tonight or tomorrow. Beulah: It didn't rain in '34 either did it! Marge: No! '36 either! Beulah: No! Mike: No! '36 either! I didn't ever want to see a farm again! Marge: Isn't that the truth? You know, what I can remember is, ha, we were up there with Bud's folks, we lived with Bud's folks for 3 years, and what I can remember is it would cloud up and get just as black, you know they lived up there on that hill, and over in the west it would get just black as coal. Them old clouds would come up and all we got was dust. Beulah: Ha! Yes! Marge: We would run to the cave and nothing but dust. Mike: Dust! That's right! Beulah: Those were those good old days! Marge: I don't ever want to go through those again. Never! Later - talking about farming, size of farms today, etc. Marge: It is hard for us (to comprehend today's methods, machinery, etc), but can't you remember when your Dad got something when you were young, and you got a new piece of machinery, your Dad thought you were nuts? Mike: I remember when Dad got his first tractor. Then when Buck (Ed. Mike's brother, Harold) got married, he got and old one from Minerman, ran the Ford garage up there (Exira). He went up there and (unintelligible) bought a tractor, plow and something else. And that damn old Ford tractor (laughter) I ran it all the time except that it had a seat on it that sat way down between those damn big old fenders, right on top of that transmission and it would get so hot in there that you couldn't breath. And that old tractor would growl and growl. I think that is what is the matter with my ears today! Marge: Probably. I figure when we were first married, Bud and Jim farmed together, and the first tractor we had was a steel wheeled tractor. Well, the boys graduated to a rubber-tired tractor and Bud's dad just had a fit! He thought those boys were just plumb crazy. Oh, I never will forget that! Pause in conversation Beulah: Ah, I can still see them, the Brothers, when they would come back from Colorado. God. Mike: Gus and Fred. They would lay awake at night figuring what they were going to pull on the next guy tomorrow. Howard: Ya, they were ornery! Mike: Oh, you darn right! Beulah: Play cards and cuss! Marge: Fred was the worst one! Mike: Just right down ornery sometimes! Mike: God Damn, you would be driving along and all of a sudden, Wham, somebody would hit you in the back of the dead with an apple, banana or something. Marge: How did you hang in there that long? Mike: Well, By God, I had to have a job. Beulah: Ya, Max moved out of town and I didn't have to baby sit so I went to work over here Clairmont fabrics, right over here on the corner. Marge: Oh yes - made drapes. Beulah: I worked over there for seven years. Marge: Well, anytime you can keep yourself busy, that's best. Now, I could quit work and sit at home and not do anything, but for crying out loud, I would get moldy. (laughter) Lapse in conversation and a change of subjects Howard: Well, Mike, do you remember Jurgen, your grandpa, saying anything about Germany? Other that the fact that he came over in a sailboat? Mike: No.....I don't. I don't know is he ever talked much about it. Howard: They must not have talked much about it. Mike: They talked German most of the time when I was up there. When Dad would go up with grandma, she could hardly talk American. She would say a word or two and she would be in German. They all talked German to her. And Grandpa, he could talk pretty good English if he wanted to, but, there would be four or five of them brothers, we would just go up there, Oh, maybe on Sunday or something and they would be four or five of them around and they would get together and they would sit there and talk German, you know. (Ed. This is typical of almost all immigrant families. The first generation keeps their old language as their primary language. The second generation is bi- lingual and the third generation speaks English.) Howard: So you couldn't understand German too much? Mike: I couldn't understand too much. Howard: So you missed out on all the, as, family history? Mike: (unintelligible) all the gossip Howard: Ya, all the gossip, ya. Isn't that

97 Generation 4 something? Marge: Bud's mother and dad talked German. And Jim, when Jim was a baby, Jim talked German, Jim learned how to talk, German. Bud never did but see they talked German to Jim. So see they were still talking German, ah, then. Mike: I know dad said that after grandma died or after his mother died, (unintelligible) anyone around here never talked German, you know. So after a few years he forgot how to talk German. He says, "I can understand what they say (unintelligible) I can't quite know how to say that word in German" Pause and change in topics Mike: I can remember dad telling about, they used to have a "gang" up around Exira, you know. He was old enough he remembered them. He'd tell how they would come into town and shoot up the town and ride down to Brayton and... Marge: Shoot up Brayton? Mike: He'd tell about, somebody one time, they was after him and he knew it, he jumped in the buggy and started home, and they took after him (unintelligible) as hard as they could run. Then of coarse he jumped out and run to the house and got his old double- barreled shotgun, he shot a couple (unintelligible with laughter). Later Howard: Did you retire off the farm then work at Gambles? Mike: Ya. I decided I didn't want to farm. Howard: Oh, when your dad died, then you quit too? Mike: I farmed it all the time he had it. I rented it from him. And then, I could have bought it, I should have bought it, but then..... Beulah: Ya.... Mike: Your hindsight is always better than your fire sight. We finally just sold it for $200 an acre.... END OF SIDE 2 of Tape 3 of 3.

There isn't a house or anything there now. Marge: Grandma Minn knew the Schwabs because they used to neighbor back and forth. But she worked for the Tibbens that had all the kids. Howard: Grandma worked for Hanna Wahlert Tibben and John Tibben? And they had a daughter Laura who is your Aunt? Marge: Yes. grandpa and Grandma Gripp did live here quite awhile. When they came back to Iowa I don't know because where ever that picture was it was the house up there on the hill where they lived. No. It says south of town. But they lived out there in the country because I remember they neighbored with Grandpa and Grandma. Vic Ancizux - Roy Anciaux's daughter, Orlin, married McKibbin. Her Grandfather. They and grandfather worked together. Uncle Hubert and Aunt Lizzie had a coal mine in Illinois. That is the old mule that brought coal out of the mine. He just stood there day in and day out when they were not using him. Ida (Ed. Marge's sister, Ida Schwab Stein) used to go with a "Steen". She married a "Stein".

He had extraordinarily long arm hairs, 3-4 inches long. He could kick extremely high, up to head high. A story Reva Winters told about Adrian: He was 14 when he started working at the Silvis Shops of the Rock Island Railroad (c. 1917) to help support the family. But he had to stay up nights helping his brogher Ernest, who had tuberculosis. Consequently he slept on the job at the shops much of the time. His boss knew the situation and did not bother him. Adrian served in the US Navy during WW II. He was a recruiting petty officer in Rockford, Chicago, and the Quad-Cities from about 1942-1945. He ended his service as a Chief Petty Officer. In the Naval Reserve he was a yeoman in the office. He knew shorthand and touch typing. Adrian was going through the chairs of office at the Masonic Lodge when he started in the Navy during WW II. After the war he did not resume his offices in the lodge as this would delay the newer members from their progression through the chairs. After the war he wasn't much interested in the Masons. Adrian and R eva bought Lot #94-D, Units 1-2-3-4, in the Greenview Memorial Gardens Cemetery, July 25, 1952 for $220. Adrian died of myocardial infarction and ASLVA (or ASCVA) per the Medical Certificate of Death." Exhibit #775, Family Tree Maker from Robert Winters, p 11 and 12, July 2006.

Notes for Reva Grace Yeager: "According to Reva on December 24, 1997: In 1934 when Adrian and Reva married, Reva was earning $1.25-$1.50 at W oolworth's and Adrian earned about $3 (perhaps as a welder), per week for both. When Adrian got a job at International Harvester his pay was $30 per week. This would be in the late 30s or early 40s. Adrian received $300 from the Boilermaker's Union in 1924 when he turned 21. This money was used as a down payment on the house at 1312 29th Ave., Moline. The total down payment was $900, the house cost about $2,400-$2,500. When the Depression came only interest was paid on the mortgage. George Christenson held the mortgage. During WW II Adrian bought was bonds and after the war he cashed them in and paid off the mortgage." Exhibit #755, Family Tree Maker from Robert Winters, July 2006, p 12.
