December 26, 1870 in Cape Girardeau, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and died July
06, 1942 in Winter Haven, Polk Co, Fl.
He married AGNES ELIZE LULU ASTHOLZ June 15, 1891 in St. Louis, Missouri, daughter of HENRICH ASTHOLZ and AUGUSTA BRANDES. She was born November 18, 1870 in Cape
Girardeau, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and died February 12, 1950 in Winter
Haven, Polk Co, Fl. Notes for PARK HORATIO ADAMS, SR.: Agnes was working as a
clerk in a St. Louis commission house. One weekend her parents decided to pay
her a visit and much to their surprise found she was married to Park Adams who
they considered young, irresponsible and without a job. The mothers of Park and
Agnes bought them home and set them up at housekeeping in a cottage across the
street from her parents. Park went to work in his fathers newspaper office. Park and Agnes became
interested in theatricals. At first it was home talent plays and then several
succesful benefit shows. They joined a traveling troupe called the Star Theatre Company but were not a great
success even though they probably enjoyed the experience. They moved to Winter
Haven Florida between 1910-1914 in time for the big land boom and bought all
the land in which they could make a down payment. Several years later they
moved to Tampa returning to Winter Haven in 1933. Park Horatio started
the 1st newspaper in Winter Haven. He
was in the citrus business. Park bought orange groves and acreage in Winter
Haven during the land boom but then had to sell it to pay the taxes. Park had
made money many times and lost it. He also worked in a five and dime which was
a big deal back then. Note: worked in
downtown Tampa at the Court House for the Draft Board during W.W.I. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obituary: July 6, 1942 Winter Haven Former
Publisher Dies Park H. Adams 71
former Winter Haven publisher died today after a long illness. He was a native
of Cape Girardeau, Mo coming here 1914 when he founded a publishing corporation
which issued several newspapers. Several year later he moved to Tampa returning
here 1933. He is survived by his widow Mrs. Agnes Adams of this city, three
sons Park H. Adams Houston, Tx, Pvt. Antonio B. Adams Lowery Field Denver, Co,
Pvt. John Q. Adams Sheperds Field, Tx. Three daughters Mrs. Essye Greathouse
Tampa, Mrs. Queena Dahlgren Winter Haven, Mrs. Agnes Sagin Brownwood, Tx. Three
sisters in Calf. Two of his sons, a son-in-law, and three grandsons are in the
military service. Note: Cora, Nellie,
Hattie and Lady Mae were his sisters. All his sisters not just the three
mentioned ended up in California. The two sons that were in the service at the
time of his death in 1942 were Tony and John Q (Nook). Park, Jr. was in WWI in
the Navy per the census he was listed as a veteran and based on pictures we
have of him in uniform in Winter Haven in the 40's I believe he was also in
WWII even though it is not mentioned in the above obit and I'm not sure why???
The son in law is George Sagin. I am not sure who the three grandsons would be.
One could be Donald Russell - Essmeralda's son with William Russell and another
could be Robert Guy Greathouse "Guy" Essie's son with Robert
Greathouse but I can not figure out who would be the third grandson. Ogarita
had 2 children - 1 boy and 1 girl (I did have a third child Melvin Williams
born 1921-1923 but am not sure where I got that info so deleted him) but mom
always thought there was only 2 children and both were sick when they were
young and died so I'm just not sure. The census also does not support more than
the two children William P and Lillian. Queenas boys both died in childhood we
know that. Park Jr married but did not
have children. Albert never married. Agnes had Jean. Tony never married and
Nook had Jack but he was too young in 1942. Any ideas who the third grandson
is??? I believe that the obit was incorrect. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1910 Census Cape

for daughter Agnes dated March 2, 1906 shows Park as a Sales Agent for National
Cash Register In 1926, a hurricane
struck Florida that - if it were to happen today - would cause $100 billion in
damage, notes Roger Pielke Jr., with the Center for Science and Technology
Policy Research at the University of Colorado at Boulder. History of Early
Florida The Resettlement
Administration's summary of the factors which led to the distressed condition
of many Florida farmers must be read as having particular application to the
unfortunates who were lacking in one or all of those qualifications for
successful farming. The summary follows: "During the years
of 1924 and 1925 Florida was experiencing one of the biggest real estate
`booms' in its history. It was at this time that farm land prices rose and
labor became so scarce that large numbers of farmers felt they would make more
money by selling their farms for speculation and working in the small towns
where labor was very scarce. This continued until the fall of 1925. The farmers
lost their farm holdings and the economic balance of their farms was completely
reversed. "In the fall of
1925 the bottom fell out, or the `boom' broke, so to speak, and since work
ceased within the cities the farmers were forced to return to their farms. Most
of them had been subdivided by some real estate promoter or had been sold
several times, thus causing the farmers considerable delay and expense in
obtaining their farms again and replacing the crops and fruit trees. "This adjustment
was getting well under way by 1927, but in the fall of that year Florida
received another hardship, which was the hurricane. This did the greatest
damage that had ever been done within the state. Farm homes, crops, fruit
trees, and other types of development were demolished, or put out of commission
for several months. In the early fall of the next year the 1928 hurricane
followed in the same tracks. It was not quite so strong, but enough to ruin the
crops and destroy a large number of houses, barns, etc. "This about
depleted the farmers of all their operating capital, and most of them had gone
in debt heavily to rebuild and repair their homes. The banks were the main
source of credit for rebuilding the state agricultural disaster. Furthering
their hardships was the failure of the banks. This began in 1928, and, as we all
know, many were closed by the end of 1929. The banks had been the lifesavers
for the agricultural crisis but now there were no hopes from them. "The prospects
for all crops were increased by the beginning of the next year, but then came
the fruit fly which swept all of South Florida and parts of North Florida. In
the counties where the fruit fly was found it was necessary that all fruit and
vegetables be destroyed. This again unbalanced farm economics for that year. "It again left
many farmers depleted of cash and there were no banks or people willing to
loan, or had the money to loan, to refinance these farmers. "Conditions were
again headed towards normal when Florida suffered the most severe freeze it had
had since 1896. This was in the winter of 1931-32. Crops were completely killed
to the lowest point of the state and for most farmers this was the last straw.
Following this freeze was another, not quite so severe but enough to throw
hundreds of other farmers out of business. "The above
factors, among many other general economic factors, led to Florida's lowest
point in agricultural production and to thousands of farmers being left without
operating credit, and, in many cases, without homes." For the rehabilitation
of the unfortunate farm families, chiefly Negroes, who were hardest hit by the
factors recited, Resettlement Administration has done effective work, reaching
some 7,000 beneficiaries who have been put on their financial feet by loans of
Federal funds, taught improved methods of farming and of home-making,
tumble-down cabins have been replaced by neat bungalows with modern
conveniences and these people have got a new start on the road toward whatever
independence they are able to achieve and maintain. Before proceeding
northward, we swing eastward again to Dade City, seat of Pasco County, an
important cross-roads through which almost all motorists pass on the way to
Tampa or St. Petersburg from Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. The town takes
its name from Major Dade, U. S. A., famed in Florida annals as the victim of an
Indian massacre. In the Seminole war of 1835 Major Dade and his command of 110
men were ambushed by the Indians and all but three were slaughtered, a few
miles north of the little city which now bears his name. Info from

use public library computers Here are some of the
US statistics for 1904. The year is 1904...one hundred years ago. What a
difference a century makes! The average life
expectancy in the US was 47 years. Only 14% of the homes
in the US had a bathtub. Only 8%of the homes
had a telephone. A three-minute call
from Denver to New York City cost $11.00. There were only 8,000
cars in the US, and only 144 miles of paved roads. The maximum speed
limit in most cities was 10 mph. Alabama, Mississippi,
Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California. With a
mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the 21st most populous state in
the Union. The tallest structure
in the world was the Eiffel Tower. The average wage in the US was 22 cents an
hour. The average US worker
made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant
could expect to earn $2000 per year, a dentist $2,500 per year. A veterinarian between
$1,500 and $4,000 per year. A mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. More than 95 percent
of all births in the US took place at home. Ninety % of all US
physicians had no college education. Instead, they attended medical schools,
many of which were condemned in the press and by the government as substandard. Sugar cost four cents
a pound. Eggs were fourteen
cents a dozen. Coffee was fifteen
cents a pound. Most women only washed
their hair once a month, and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law
prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason. The five leading
causes of death in the US were. 1. Pneumonia and
influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had
45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn't been
admitted to the Union yet. The population of Las
Vegas, Nevada, was 30! Crossword puzzles,
canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented. There was no Mother's
Day or Father's Day. Two of 10 US adults
couldn't read or write. Only 6 % of all Americans had graduated high school. Marijuana, heroin, and
morphine were all available over the counter at corner drugstores. According to
one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind,
regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of
health." (Shocking!) Eighteen percent of
households in the US had at least one full-time servant or domestic. There were only about
230 reported murders in the entire US. And I forwarded this
from someone else without typing it myself, and sent it to you in a matter of
seconds! Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years ... it
staggers the mind. Per Agnes Astholz

Cemetary in Tampa Florida Notes for AGNES ELIZE LULU ASTHOLZ: Agnes Elize Lulu
Astholz was named after her Aunt Eliza Astholz and her stepdaughter Lulu. Email from Cousin
Christie 4-26-04 Last weekend I went to
Winter Haven to close up mom and dad's house with Jane. Jane has been living there for the most part
since before mom died (1992). It has sold and will close on Friday. We had to go through many generations of
pictures and I have found some treasures.
One is a autograph book of Agnes Asholtz beginning in November of 1888
from her cousin Lulu Bedell. (Agnes has Lulu as one of her middle names.) Some of the comments are in ?german. It looks as if Park Adams, Agnes Adams,
Essmerelda Adams were in a traveling theater company in the mid - late
1890's. They played places like
Greenfield Iowa, Marysville, MO, Magnolia Ark., New Lewisville, Ark., Minden,
LA, Tex, OK, etc.. On May 13, 1890 Park
H. Adams signed her book, "Friend Agnes,
Ever remember you friend. Park H. Adams,
Star Theater Co, . I am a bit
confused, maybe Agnes and Park married and took Essmerelda with them on
tour. Agnes and Essmerelda are written
one after usually at the very end of the list but Park is always listed
seperately within the list. There is one
entry the says, to my friends, Park "The Adam's" Agnes, Sincerely H
Beasley. Maybe Agnes and Essmerelda just
traveled with Park when he was in the company. Note: I did not
realize that Agnes Elize Lulu Astholz was named after her Aunt Eliza Astholz
and her stepdaughter Lulu Tiedemann (Bedell). Also, Lulu married Bert Bedell so
that is who gave her the book...Lulu Bedell. The following Information is from Agnes
Astholz' scrapbook dated during the 1880s in possession of Christie, these are
excerpts from it: Tiedemann was a name
you see several times in the book. Agnes name is listed on a page with many
names and a mosaic type pattern. In the middle it says the School that she
taught was Island Station Colorado. I am not sure if this was the location or
name of the school. Look at the square with her name and in tiny writing on
that square in the corner it say's teacher. I almost missed that. I think this
is her page when she was teaching and these are her students names on the page
with her. Evidently she was teaching her Aunt Lizzie's children and she lived
with the family too. On that page you will see the names Carl and Earl
Tiedemann. These would be Agnes Astholz' 1st cousins. I found this
interesting because based on the family history written by Molly it mentions
that teaching was the reason Agnes originally went out to Colorado and was
living with her Aunt Lizzy. Then as we all know she went into doing plays with
the Star Theatre Company. Speaking of the Star
Theatre Company...several of the cast members and the dates the plays opened
and closed and the cities they went to are all listed. I think it is very
important to somehow get this on the web. I will eventually try to post it so
other families that may have had relatives with the Star Theatre Co will have
access to it. I did notice the name
Klaiber on several pages. I looked all through my database and was unable to
find anything on them. I know that Aunt Lizzies (Eliza Astholz) ranch in
Colorado was either called Second Creek or that was the area. On the signature
part of the Klaiber pages they have First Creek and it is dated Nov 22,1888.
Maybe First Creek and Second Creek are close together . I saw a signature for a
Benjamin Klaiber, Gus Klaiber (signed your friend) and a Martha Klaiber who was
on the school page so Agnes taught her. There are signatures
from the Mueller's also. This is from Henry Mueller. Based on the signature I
noticed the middle initial A. which I did not have before. Wonder what that
stands for? He wrote: Be as happy and lighthearted
and gay as those (and he points to a bird with chicks in a nest - picture in the book) and see in all clouds
their silver lining. Your Uncle H.A. Mueller Columbus Nebraska March 31st 1889. From the family
history written by Mollie Astholz: Anna
("Tante") married Henry Mueller and lived for a few years in
Columbus, Nebraska. There he died abt 1890 leaving her with three small
children. That means that he
signed the autograph book and died less than a year later at the age of 33.
Isn't that sad? After that Anna Brandes lived with her sister Emelia and her
brother-in-law Edward Thilenius based on
the 1900 Census in Perrysville, Perry, Missouri and Anna has her 2 children
living with her. This would have been Helen and Werner Mueller. The middle daughter
Gertrude had died of diptheria abt 1886 when she was 3. Then 4 years later she
loses her husband. How hard could it be! It is heartbreaking in some of these
stories! Just to help you
picture Anna look at that picture of her as a child in the old Brandes family
photo - she is the youngest daughter. Everyone should have that. If not let me
know. There is also a page
from Anna (Brandes) Mueller dated April (4?) 1889. It is written in German and
I will forward it to Mima for her friend to translate. I did find another page
that I believe is written by Anna since the writing is identical but she only
signed it Columbus Nebraska 4-4-1889. It is written in German too. I found numerous
Tiedemann pages. Based on the signatures I was able to once and for all put to
rest the spelling of their last name. That has been quite an issue since it has
been spelled several ways! There was an autograph from Carl Tiedemann.
Remember, Agnes taught him in school. He wrote: Dear Aggie, In the woodbox of your
memory drop one chip for your cousin Carl Tiedemann and it is dated Mar
18-1889. Kinda cute. Carl is the son of William and Aunt Lizzie. Another is written in
German (sending to Mima) and signed Wm. (Wilhelm Henrich Tiedemann). Wilhelm is
Aunt Lizzie's (Eliza Astholz) husband and the house in which Agnes was living.
This was her aunt and uncle. There is one more page signed by a Tiedemann dated
1889 and says Second Creek but it is also written in German and I can't tell
who it is that signed it. Aunt Eliza Astholz was
married to Wilhelm Henrich Tiedemann. Wilhelm Henrich Tiedemann was previously
married to someone and they had a daughter named Lulu Tiedemann. Evidently his
first wife must have died and left him widowed and with a daughter Lulu Tiedemann
(Bedell). Lulu is the stepdaughter to Eliza Astholz (Aunt Lizzie). Lulu married
Bert Bedell and had one daughter. All this is supported on pg 12 of the family
history of Mollie. Lulu and Agnes were
quite good friends while she lived in Colorado and in the Tiedemann home. Lulu
is the person who gave Agnes the scrapbook. I am assuming they were closr in
age but I do not have a birthdate of Lulu. I will check into that. Lulu drew a
very elaborate bird with Agnes name in it and signed a page with this: Dear Aggie - Where ever you go, and
what ever you meet, always do your best. Angels can do no more.
Your Cousin Lulu
Bedell Second Creek Nov
18-1888. Another is signed: To Miss Agnes Among the tributes
offered here Gems of Fancy -love-
and truth None more earnest -
more sincere Even from friends
you've loved from youth- So with best wishes I
remain Your friend until we
meet again. Mrs. H.L. Bedell Haven of Rest Ranch Colorado There is no date on
this entry and I am not sure who this is. My guess would be it is either Bert's
mother (the writing looks like someone older) or a siblings wife. I just don't
know. It was nice though. Here's another: To: Agnes Alas! By some degree
of woe We every bliss
must-gain; The heart-can ne'er a
transport know That never feels a
pain. A.J. Bedell Hardin, Colo Mar
28-1889 There is another page
signed Compliments of J.P. Bedell. I don't know who either of them are but they
are somehow related. Lulu and Bert only had 1 child and it was a daughter per
the family history of Mollie. J.P. and A.J. I would guess would be a man's name
so maybe they are siblings of Bert? Agnes future husband
Park also signed the book. It had: Friend Agnes: Ever remember your
friend Park H. Adams Star Theatre Co. May
13, 1890 Agnes and Park married
a little over a year later. Park and Agnes knew each other since they were both
from Cape Girardeau. I am not sure if he followed her there or what, but I did
find an interesting tidbit by calculating dates. Park and Agnes married June
15, 1891. Essie was born February 02, 1892. If you add the months she was
either premature or they had to get married. I think the latter because based
on the family history from Stephanie the parents of Park and Agnes were
surprised to find them married. (I have them married in St. Louis, Missouri but
the way the family history is written it sounds like Agnes parents went to
Colorado and found them married out there. Maybe they had a second wedding for
appearances???) Agnes was out visiting her Aunt Lizzie. Wonder if that was why
she decided to go visit...so she could get away from her family and get married
since she was pregnant??? Looks like about 7 1/2 month pregnancy. That is very
interesting! Another relative (I
think through marriage) is Annie Joyce. Park Adams had a sister Cora Adams who
married Edward Thorton Joyce. Cora and Edward had two children that I know of
and they were Floyd and Mamie. I am assuming that Annie is a sister to Edward
Joyce since I don't find the name Annie for children of Floyd and Mamie. I do
know of a relative Laurie Catero who is a descendant of Cora Adams but I have
written her numerous times over the last few years and given her a bunch of
information and she will not share with me what she has for some reason. I have
no clue why. I have given up on her. She wrote: Apr-30-1890 Dear Aggie May your hours glide
sweetly in the future As the day I first met
thee And may that fond and
loving heart of yours, Never be troubled with
pain or sorrow, And may your life be
strewn with flower and evergreen But of all, I will ask of you Dear Agnes, When you pluck the
last rose of the year Please pluck one in
remembrance of me. Your friend, Annie
Joyce Note: Annie (born
1867) is the sister of Edward Thorton Joyce Another Joyce relative
who I don't know how they are related signed it: Dear Agnes, There is a day of
sunny rest For every dark and
troubled night And grief may hide an
evening guest But joy shall come
with early light Beatrice Joyce May 1, 1890 Note: Beatrice Joyce
(born 1867) is the sister of Edward Thorton Joyce Agnes must have
traveled on a steamer called "Idlewild" as a few entries have this on
it. They are dated Aug 25, 1890 so she was evidently traveling then. I have not
been able to find anything out on this steamer. Another interesting
entry: Charles Bieger Trunk Maker 12 South Broadway The man that opened

pages that I believe are signed by the actors and actresses of the Star Theatre
Company. I have just not had a chance to compare them yet. It is quite an
interesting scrapbook and gave me several pieces of information that I did not
know previously. Note: Information is
from immediate family members and written and audio tape family history in my
possession. Note: Name, date of
birth/death/marriage is based on Astholz family bible records. I have a copy in
my possesion. Note: born 1 month
after her older sister Helena Emilie Henriette died. Even though Agnes was the
third child, she became the oldest. Note: Amalia Astholz
wrote a family history in 1959. I have a copy
in my possession. Agnes went to German
Lutheran School and was confirmed in the Lutheran Church. She attended the
Normal School in which she earned a two year teaching certificate. Her first
year of teaching was at St. Genevieve and the second year she worked in
Colorado near her Aunt Lizzie. (per Agnes autograph scrapbook there is a page
that lists her teaching in Island Station Colorado and lists her students names
including the Tiedemann's children Ernie and Carl - these were Aunt (Eliza
Astholz) Lizzie's children with William Tiedemann. Aunt Lizzie lived on a ranch
near Denver in Second Creek Colorado and Second Creek is signed in the book. She decided teaching
was not what she wanted to do and became a clerk in a St. Louis commission
house. One weekend her parents decided to pay her a visit and much to their
surprise found she was married to Park Adams who they considered young,
irresponsible and without a job. The mothers of Park and Agnes bought them home
and set them up at housekeeping in a cottage across the street from her
parents. Park went to work in his fathers newspaper office. Agnes played the piano
(on an old fashioned square piano) and played many of the the old time
songs out of her papa's book on old
"war songs" while her family stood around the piano and sang. Agnes and Park became
interested in theatricals. At first it was home talent plays and then several
succesful benefit shows. They joined a traveling troupe (Star Theatre) but were
not a great success even though they probably enjoyed the experience. Agnes, nicknamed
"Ag" had a wonderful disposition and was always optimistic at every
turn. They moved to Winter Haven Florida
between 1910-1914 in time for the big land boom and bought all the land in which
they could make a down payment. Several years later they moved to Tampa
returning to Winter Haven in 1933. Note: worked in
downtown Tampa at the Court House for the Draft Board during W.W.I More About Agnes

from Agnes Astholz Adams age 56 and living in Crystal River near Homasassa to
her daughter Agnes Adams Sagin age 20. The letter is dated July 2, 1926 and
mailed to the Tampa Real Estate Board where Agnes Adams Sagin was working.
Agnes had been married to George for 10 months. My Dear Agnes, Have been intending to
write for the past few days but it seems there is always so much to do and then
hen I feel like it and have the time I have no stationary or stamps, or
something else turns up. Am always glad to get your letters howeverm even though
they do teem with damns. It is certainly too bad that you have had such set
backs, but that is life all the way through. I have had my share of similar
experiences I can assure you. There is only one thing to do however and that is
grin and bear it and forget about them. Wish you could come up
Saturday - tomorrow - as we are going to have a big celebration here at
Homosassa - a county affair. Then had a write from Uncle Jim at West Palm
Beach, saying he would be here to spend Sunday with us. He is going to Winter
Haven Saturday and spend the night there and then come over here. Would like so
much for him to see you. Am sorry Tony will not be here at the time. Tony's last letter was
rather encouraging in a way, as he says he likes his job better all the time
and that if Dad will help him get started he will open a studio here when he
returns after Xmas. Says he may go to Toldeo or Cleveland before coming home.
He is certainly enjoying the mountains and the climate there as well as the
fruits and berries. Nook has been at Shell
Island all weed and I look for him to come home tomorrow. He and Charlie Miller
and Gred Holland are camping out down there and having a big time. Things are
rather quiet around the house here with only Dad and I; Jones comes over and takes
a meal with us at least once a day however. Ogie is getting along
fine and her children are certainly improving in appearance. There are ever so
much better in health than they were. Queena said when she was here that they
did not look like themselves anymore. Ogie too feels mcuh better here than she
did in Tampa. Horace is doing fairly well and I beleive he will make some money
here this fall and winter if he keeps on. He is getting the knack a little more
now. Hope you will be able
to come up before my flowers are all gone. They are certainly getting lots of
attention from every one that passes. There isn't a day that I don't cut at
least one bouquet for some one. Have been supplying the churches with flowers
the past few weeks and will send some both to the Presbyterian and to the
Baptist churches again Sunday as they have asked for some. In looking over my
checkbook and return checks I find that I did not send you the two dollare for
flowers for Albert's grave Decoration Day as I promised, so am enlosing it in
this. I certainly thought I had done so and can't imagine how I forgot it. We have gotten rid of
the cattle on the streets now and they are watching them and taking the strays
up rigidly. It is an improvement for our streets to be rid of the sight of
them, I can assure you. Will have to go up
town to mail this as I have no stamps here and Dad forgot to bring me any
envelopes. Love to you both and hope to see you soon. Wish I could help you to
get your car right away so you could come tomorrow. We are all homesick for a
sight of you. Lovingly, Mother On the back of this
letter was a handwritten letter saying: Mr. Jones in Tampa last weeks but
forgot your address or he would have called on you. Am sending you by parcel
post a few tomatoes & carnations our of my garden. Hope you will enjoy
both. The letterhead is from
The Adams Company - under that it says Manufacturing Agent, Wholesale
Distributors, Novelties and Specialties, Premium Goods P.O. Box 2363 Tampa,
Florida Source - information given
by her grandaughter Jean Sagin Montney: Agnes was very
prominent in club work and associated with Women of National Prominence, Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Cott being one of her most intimate. She was Chairman of the
Florida Federation of Womens Club and a college graduate at the turn of the
century. She wrote a society column and
had a Christmas poem published in a book she gave her grandaughter Jean. It is
probably out of print by now. This is a poem written
by Agnes Astholz Adams found when Christie closed the Winter Haven house. This
was in Agnes' possessions. A REAL CHRISTMAS I was five years old that Christmas but
I remember well Every detail of that evening - how we
listened for the bell To tell us Santa Claus was ready and
just about to leave - The signal for our entering our presents
to receive. First there�d be an early supper, then a
bath, and freshly dressed, For of course on Christmas Eve we had to
look our best. Then the line-up in the kitchen, waiting
for the bell to ring, And the music soft, playing holy music,
"Christ is King." Came our cue to sing our song
"Silent Night, Holy Night." Happy, carefree, joyous, gay, we sang
that song with all our might. While marching to the parlor the wonder
there to see; The grand array of presents and the
great big Christmas tree In a corner of the room that was meant
for only me. A table stood in front of it with tiny
dishes rare; A little stove with pots and pans, and a
lovely rocking chair. And dolls! Too beautiful for words each
on her little throne; One dressed in pink and one in blue, and
all this mine alone. A great big Santa Claus stood beneath my
little tree With candy, nuts and fruits galore. And
this, too was for me. My prayer that night, that blessed
night, was one of thanks and love. For parents, dear old Santa Claus, and
Christ, our Lord, above. Agnes
Astholz Adams While Christie was
cleaning out the house in Winter Haven she ran across "The Emerson
Birthday Book" given to Agnes signed on the inside cover: " Miss Agnes
Astholz With the Compliments of the Season, from her friend M.R.H. and dated
Dec 25, 1887. In this book was a wealth of information regarding family
members. This included dates of birth, where they were born, dates of death and
where they died. Inside the book is
illustrated. The cover page has a picture of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The copyright
is 1881. More About AGNES ELIZE LULU ASTHOLZ: Burial: Woodlawn

1959 Mrs. Essye Greathouse Mrs. Essye A.
Greathouse, 68, of 207 1/2 East Park Ave., died Wednesday in a local hospital.
She was a native of Missouri, and a resident of Tampa for 40 years. She was and
employee of the Citrus Exchange for 19 years and of the Sulphur Springs
kindergarten for 14 years. Survivors are two sons, Donals W. Russell, Tulsa,
Okla., and Robert G. Greathouse, Tampa; a daughter, Mrs. Peter A. Marchese,
Tampa; two brothers, John Q. Adams, Galveston, Texas and Anthony Adams, Los
Angeles, California; two sisters, Mrs. George Sagin, Tampa, and Mrs. R. E.
Dahlgren, Winter Haven; also 11 grandchildren. Note: spelling of her
name is verified by autograph album of Agnes (her mother) when she was in the
Star Theatre Company. Esmerelda was written on one of the pages with the cast
members as she was often included in the plays. Park and Agnes married
June 15, 1891. Essie was born February 02, 1892. If you add the months she was
either premature or they had to get married. I think the latter because based
on the family history from Stephanie the parents of Park and Agnes were
surprised to find them married. Agnes was out visiting her Aunt Lizzie. Wonder
if that was why she decided to go visit...so she could get away fro her family
and get married since she was pregnant??? Looks like about 7 1/2 month
pregnancy. That is very interesting and something I had not noticed before. More About Esmerelda

Y Wa Daxery? Hamburgh Germany I find it interesting
that it shows Park, Jr as a WWI vet. He must have also been in WWII since he is
wearing a uniform in pictures we have in Winter Haven by the lake during the
40's. Note: Excerpt of an
email from Mary Emma Rosenberger dated 6-1-04 Park Jr. was married to
"Ruth". Ruth stayed very close
to my father (Nook-John Quincy Adams) until his death. My half-sister Stephanie would remember Ruth. Unfortunately I cannot locate Stephanie nor
her brother and sister. I am continuing
to try. Ruth and Park had a little girl
they were adopting. That child had to be
returned when Park died. Our grandmother
Agnes was very sick when Park died. I
was just 12 years old and remember vividly going to visit Grandmother (Agnes
Astholz) at Aunt Queena's (Adams-Dahlgren). I think Grandmother had had stroke. I was told not to tell her about Uncle
Park. I was sad that her son had died
and she did not know. I think it was sudden, stroke heart attack just do not
know Notes for RUTH ?: Note: Excerpt of an
email from Mary Emma Rosenberger dated 6-1-04 I had met Aunt Ruth and
was sad she could not keep the little girl they were trying to adopt. Over the years I did talk with Ruth several
times. I liked her. She lived in California. I did not know Ruth
was from Germany. I had several phone
conversations with her and remember that she sounded rather "crusty"
but I did like her. I remember meeting
her once with the little girl when she and Park visited Winter Haven. I think my Mother liked her. 1930 Census Houston,

Co., Florida. Notes for AGNES ADAMS: We have audio tape from
3/2/86 when my grandmother was celebrating her last birthday (80th) before she
died. I just listened to it and we had asked her several questions regarding
the family and this is what was said... Asked if her dad (Park)
was strict? She said her dad didn't know she was alive. She then said he really
didn't like children and we all thought that was very funny since he had so
many children. Asked about her mother,
Agnes Astholz if she was a good mother? Yes, but she was the society editor for
the Tampa Tribune and belonged to many clubs. She was always working and went
to lots of club meetings so she hardly ever saw her. Who did the cooking? My
grandmother said that she would start the beef stew after school since both
Agnes (Astholz) and Park worked downtown at the Court House for the Draft Board
during W.W.I. Mentioned That Ogie
(Ogarita) was the Superintendent of Nurses and died of a cerebral hemorrhage
and that she had married a "no count." In my grandmothers terms he
was no good. She also mentioned both children died. I don't know what their
names were or anything else on them. We were looking at
their Adams family portrait (the one that is on the Montney.org website) and
she mentioned that the youngest child in the picture up front is Essie's child
so that would be Donald Russell. She stated that she
(Agnes Adams) was the youngest of the girls and that Tony and
"Nookie" were younger than she was.
She did say there were 9 children and that one of the children died
before my grandmother was born and was an infant. Her name was Adolphine after
Adolph. (I assume Adolph Astholz). She said that Albert
was her favorite brother and that he died in 1918 at Camp Jackson South
Carolina and that he died from the terrible flu that was going around there.
She sounded really sad when she said it even though it had happened so long
before. She said that all of
her family was dead (this was in 1986) and that she was the last surviving
member. We asked about her brothers and sisters children but she thought they
had all died so we never thought there was anyone else. She said they lived on
Shell Point Road and would have "weeny roasts" down by the water. She
said they would watch the moon and the water but they always had a chaperone.
When we asked about her having a chaperone she said of course! The subject of John Quincy
Adams the president came up. A friend of the family (in the background of the
tape) mentioned that my brother should become one of the Sons of the American
Revolution and my father mentioned in the tape that he was very impressed that
we were 5 great grandfathers away from John Quincy Adams and a direct
descendant. My grandmother laughed on the tape and said "yeah that was the

Rosenberger (grandson of Nook) Hi Liz, Thanks for the
scoop. I am most interested in what my
grandfather did during WWII. I tried a
search through National Archives, but unfortunately, his military records were
burned in a fire in the 1970s. Basically, I�m trying
to find out where he served, what he did and with which units. You sent pictures earlier, so I know what
unit he started out with, but still don�t know what he did. If you find anything
please send it to my mother as I won�t be at this address much longer. In few months, though, I�ll be in Ireland
(and back at this email address). I hope
to be able to do a bit more genealogy there. Regards,Tom Individual Record FamilySearch

Mary Emma Christie Thanks to Liz Montney
and to my son Tom I am learning things about my father that are awesome. It is a strange feeling. (My parents divorced when I was five...they
separated when I was four just before my brother Jack was born). I only saw him a few times after that until I
was grown then saw him two summers of two weeks with my sons in his home. Now, to go any further
we need to learn his APO address when he was in WW11. I do not know what happened to the letters he
sent Jack and I. I remember them
well. Of course the envelopes had his
APO address. I am writing you
Christie to see if in cleaning out the papers at your mom's house you might
have run into some letters he would have sent your Grandmother Queena. Same for Liz -- maybe he sent something to
her grandmother, Agnes. I discovered a picture
recently that I assumed had been done by Dahlgren's since it was obviously
professional. I sent a scanned copy to a
a man Tom has learned about who is doing research on WW11 veterans. The man responded within 15 minutes of
receiving the picture. The picture was
done in Europe. The man was
ecstatic....said the picture is a rare find.
It seems he could tell immediately a whole lot of facts. He shared this with Tom who is presently here
with us. Tom was so excited as he
learned his grandfather had done three campaigns during the war, was a
paratrooper, a leader and several other things. We can learn more about
this time in his life if we can find the APO address. Thanks for any help you
can give. Love, Mary Emma email from Tom
Rosenberger 6-15-04 Hi Liz, Tom Rosenberger here,
emailing from my parents' account. In my quest to find out
about my grandfather's military records, I contacted a WWII expert when I was
in DC. He called tonight and gave me
some information based on a photo that we scanned from him. We now know that he was a paratrooper who
spent at least 3 years in the army, two of which were in Europe. He might have been at Normandy and the
liberation of Holland. He rose to the
rank of Staff Sergeant and definitely saw combat. We're trying to narrow
down the search a little more. I
remember that you sent a picture to me when I was in Iraq that had a few
details on the original unit he was assigned to. Do you still have it? I've looked through my mother's files and
can't find that email. I believe that
the email contained a picture of him in uniform with a caption regarding his
unit, as well as a picture of him and my grandmother, Mary Katherine Vest),
both wearing bathing suits. I would
appreciate it if you could email these pictures to this address if you still
have them. I hope all is well. Thanks, Tom Subj: RE: John Quincy

PM Atlantic Daylight Time From:
[email protected] Hi Liz, Thanks for getting back
to us so quickly. Mom was really touched
by seeing the picture of her parents.
You sent it before, but somehow she missed it. Another look at this
picture indicates that it must have been later than 1942. The military expert I talked to said it had
to be around 1944, because the service stripes indicate that he was in Europe
at least 2 years already and in the service for 3. It was taken in Europe, because there was no
discharge medal on his right lapel. Thanks again, Tom Alright cousin Liz This is getting to be
really fun. Tom has jumped into the ring
to help. We still cannot find an apo
address on my Father. Son Richard might
have one but he is on vacation for two weeks.
Tom said WW11 military did not use Social Security numbers for
identification. The picture you sent of
my parents is a new one. I do not think
I had seen it before. It almost seemed strange seeing them
together. That is not a memory I
have. You might have sent the
history below before but seems like this is more than the earlier one. I am amazed at the writers, publishers and
printers in this Adams line. Isn't it interesting
that the only ones (I think this is correct) to carry on this name are my
brother who is an editor/writer and his sons (one of whom is an
editor/publisher). I think that is a
definite "ink in the blood line" scenario. My daughter Liz was a journalism major who
does some editing, My sons Peter, Tom
and Richard all write....Tom and Peter have several things published. Thanks thanks for all
you are doing. I am still trying to
locate Stephanie who might have more info. Also, in Missouri one
of my husband Beryl's "greats" a Charles Adams married Mary Elizabeth
Rosenberger (1853-1937) they were from
Scottland county Missouri. Have you seen any
reference to this Charles Adams.
Remember I told you that in Grandmother Adams date book was birthdates
of Rosenbergers from Missouri. You are awesome to
stick with this. Much love, Cuz Mary

after he died (same day). I didn't attend the funeral. I believe the funeral
and burial was in Bloomfield, Mo. Billie visited us 2 or 3 times in later years
until her death. I don't know the date of her death. In Mother's notes she had
2 dates, January 19, 1926 and January 12, 1927. I suspect the Jan 19, 1926 was
their marriage date, and that Jan 12, 1927 was the final divorce date. She and
Dad Shanks were married on Feb 14, 1927, a month later. I was adopted by him
early in my childhood and was sealed to them after Dad joined the church and
was sealed to Mother. See my PAF data to verrify the dates, etc. (Forrest Shanks) More About CHASTON LAFAYETTE RUDDER: Burial: November 25,

Veteran W.W.I. Frances L. Wife WF41 M 17 N Y Tx Tx Tx Notes for YUL BRENNER: Birth name Taidje Khan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mini biography Exotic leading man of
American films, famed as much for his completely bald head as for his
performances. Brynner masked much of his life in mystery and in outright lies
designed to tease the gullible, and it was not until the publication of a
biography by his son in 1989 that many of the details of Brynner's early life
became clear(er). He often claimed to be a half-Swiss, half- Japanese named
Taidje Khan, born on the island of Sakhalin; in reality he was the son of Boris
Bryner, a Swiss-Mongolian engineer and inventor, and Marousia Blagavidova, the
daughter of a Russian doctor. He was born in their hometown of Vladivostok on 7
July 1915, and named Yul after his grandfather Jules Bryner. When Yul's father
abandoned the family, his mother took Yul and his sister Vera to Harbin, China,
where they attended a school run by the YMCA. In 1934, Yul's mother took her
children to Paris. Her son was sent to the exclusive Lyc�e Moncelle, but his
attendance was spotty. He dropped out and became a musician, playing guitar in
the nightclubs among the Russian gypsies who gave him his first real sense of
family. He met luminaries such as Jean Cocteau and became an apprentice at the
Theatre des Mathurins. He worked as a trapeze artists with the famed Cirque
d'Hiver company. He traveled to the U.S . in 1941 to study with acting teacher
Michael Chekhov and toured the country with Chekhov's theatrical troupe. That
same year he debuted in New York as Fabian in Twelfth Night (billed as Youl
Bryner). After working in a very early TV series, "Mr. Jones and His
Neighbors", he played on Broadway in Lute Song, with 'Mary Martin',
winning awards and mild acclaim. He and his wife, actress Virginia Gilmore,
starred in the first TV talk show, "Mr. and Mrs." Brynner then joined
CBS as a television director. He made his film debut in Port of New York
(1949). Two years later, Mary Martin recommended him for the part he would
always be known for, the King in Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical The King and
I. Brynner became an immediate sensation in the role, repeating it for film and
winning the Oscar for Best Actor. For the next two decades, he maintained a
starring film career despite exotic nature of his persona, performing in a wide
range of roles from Egyptian pharoahs to Western gunfighters, almost all with
the same shaven head and indefinable accent. In the 1970s, he returned to the
role that had made him a star, and spent most of the rest of his life touring
the world in The King and I. When he developed lung cancer in the mid-1980s, he
left a powerful public service announcement denouncing smoking as the cause,
for broadcast after his death. The cancer and its complications, after a long
illness, ended his life. But he remains one of the most fascinating, unusual,
and beloved stars of his time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMDb mini-biography by Jim Beaver

Kleiner (qv) on the set during shooting of 'The Magnificent Seven' in 1960. His paternal grandmother
was Mongolian. Is a recipient of the
presitigious Connor Award, given by the brothers of the Phi Alpha Tau
fraternity based out of Emerson College in Boston. Died the same day as
Orson Welles One of only eight
actors to have won both a Tony and an Oscar for having portrayed the same roles
on stage and screen. The others are Joel Grey ("Cabaret"), Shirley
Booth ("Come Back, Little Sheba"), Rex Harrison ("My Fair
Lady"), Anne Bancroft ("The Miracle Worker"), Paul Scofield
("A Man For All Seasons"), Jose Ferrer ("Cyrano de
Bergerac") and Jack Albertson ("The Subject Was Roses"). According to a new
book, "Alfred Hitchcock : A Life in Darkness and Light" by Patrick
McGilligan, he was considered for the role of Vandamn, the senior villain
(eventually played by James Mason) in "North by Northwest." While touring in the
play "Odyssey" in the mid-1970s, Brynner attained a reputation of
being a holy terror toward hotel staff members. Among other things, all hotel
suites where he would stay had to be painted a certain shade of tan and all
kitchens in those hotel suites had to be stocked in advance with "one
dozen brown eggs, under no circumstances white ones!" The play itself,
later retitled "Home, Sweet Homer", had a successful pre-Broadway tour
of over a year, but lasted exactly one performance when it opened on Broadway
in 1976. He was an accomplished
photographer. He took many photos on the sets of the various projects he worked
on over the years. Mentioned in the
popular mid-1980s song "One Night in Bangkok," sung by Murray Head,
from the soundtrack of the musical Chess. When he found out he
would be playing Pharoah opposite Charlton Heston's Moses in "The Ten
Commandments" and that he would be shirtless for most of the film, he
began a rigorous weight lifting program because he did not want to be
physically overshadowed by Charlton Heston (which explains his buffer than
normal physique during "The King and I", another film he was set to
work on at the time.) More About YUL BRENNER: Cause of Death: Lung
