Descendants of Henry Brandes Generation No. 1 1. HENRY1 BRANDES was born September 06, 1819 in Grandeau, Hanover,
Germany, and died 1901. He married (1) HELENA SCHLUETER Abt.
1846 in St. Andrews,
Hildesheim,,Brunswick,Germany, daughter of WILLIAM SCHLUETER. She was born September 16, 1818 in Scheswick,
Brunswick, Germany, and died May 26, 1879 in Girardeau, Cape Girardeau,
MO. He married (2) SOPHIE Abt. 1880
in Cape Girardeau,Cape Girardeau,MO. She
was born March 1826 in Brunswick,Germany. Notes for HENRY BRANDES: Birth: Sep 1817 in
,Grandeau,Hanover,Germany Note : Excerpt of
family history written by Amalia Emile Astholz in 1959 Some years ago in the
records at Jackson, I saw that Henry Brandes had applied for citizenship on May
1st, 1850. According to legend Henry Brandes had been an overseeer on the
estate of the Duke of Brunswick. Was married again
after his first wife died and this marriage wasn't pleasing to the family. She
was spoken of as "the madam." She was in charge of a little store. Had a tanyard on the
lower part of his home lot. He was also a member of the home guard. He immigrated to the
U.S. from Germany in 1849-1850 with his wife and their 3 year old daughter
Augusta. Helene must have been pregnant with Emelia at this time. 1850 census is CG, CG,
MO, Henry is 30. 1860 census in CG ,
CG, MO p112 says Henry is 42 and was born in Brunswick. 1880 census in CG, CG,
MO says Henry is 61. He's married to his second wife.living with a servant,
Anna, and his two stepchildren, Emelia and Edward. This is interesting since
his daughter from his first name is Emelia and she was married to Edward. Think
census was incorrect. 1900 census in CG, CG,
MO says henry is 82. He's living with his second wife Sophie and his
stepdaughter Emelia. Marriage 1 Helene

Astholz b Jan 29,1888 d July 4, 1956 Note: First Fire Chief of Cape Girardeau Missouri History of the fire
department - Cape Girardeau Back in the old days
it was the "Pride of Cape Girardeau" . . . and today, the Cape
Girardeau Fire Department is still second to none The fire department
originated with the town's first volunteer service, "The Good Intent Fire
Company," organized in 1880. In those days firemen were called into action
by the clanging of the old Presbyterian Church bell. That bell brought
volunteer firefighters...hand pump...bucket brigade... and a fire wagon to the
scene of the fire for many years. This original company was headed by Chief
Henry A. Astholz and Captain George W. Greene. Since then the department has
had only 12 fire chiefs -- Arthur Leher, Rudolph Stehr, Barney Kraft, Al
Dittlinger, John Sullenger, Fred Meyer, George D. French, Harry Rabe, Robert
Kammer, Dewey Hinton, Carl Lewis and the present chief, Charles Mills. Ernst Schaefer and
Henry A. Astholz became new members on May 18, 1883, with the latter being
elected to captain of the company the following month. Members voted to produce
a half dozen axes for use at fires upon the suggestion of Mr. Astholz. The company began
"dressing up" a bit more, the project started with the purchase of
new hats, 24 of them, at a cost of $120. It was duly resolved "that all
persons admitted as members who receive a hat shall be required to pay at least
ten months dues in advance." At the April 19, 1884
meeting, the company adopted a resolution to "adopt as a uniform to be
worn at parades, a blue jacket and shirt, and that a committee be appointed to
provide same." The committee later reported that cost of making shirts
would be 20 cents per shirt, and that material would cost 38 cents a yard, making
total cost of each about $1.25. Conrad Stehr was awarded the job of making
shirts, he being lowest bidder. In these early days
the volunteer firemen under Henry Astholz received $3 for fighting a fire and
$1 for a drill, averaging about $10 per month. In 1906 the company
headed by Chief Astholtz and Capt. Greene divided the town into four wards.
Signals were worked out for the alarm. The person giving the alarm would tap
the bell a certain number of times to correspond to the ward in which the fire
was located. Source: This History
of the Cape Girardeau Fire Department has been compiled from articles from The
Southeast Missourian from 1954 to the present. The articles are available at

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

interesting scrapbook and gave me several pieces of information that I did not
know previously. Note: Information is

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

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

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

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

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

Number: 14?? Polk Co, Fl (Vol. 10??6) On Birth Certificate 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 ancestry.com: Park Adams obituary info Author: Diane Bland Date: 25 Nov 2000 9:22 AM GMT Park and Agnes Adams

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

education and took several correspondence courses in math. Arthur worked in a
foundry and eventually became a very good mechanic. When he was young he
and "some of the boys" used to go swimming in the river even diving
from the top of ferry boats. When his mother learned of that she worried
greatly over it for fear of what she might hear next. Once he had his hand
caught in some machinery and a joint of one finger was amputated and another
finger was badly mangled. In 1894 Arthur married
Annie Maeners in the parlor of Annies family home on S. Lorimer. The couple
lived most of their lives in Annies family home. During World War I,
they lived in Washington, D.C. where Arthur worked in the shipyards. He had one child Arthur
"Artie" who married twice but never had children. Note: Name, date of

wrote a family history in 1959. This is an excerpt: I have little
recollection of Fred at home. He left home at an early age and I fear got in
the habit of roughing it. He seems to have had a "roving foot" and
mother said she never knew where his next letter might come from. They
ususally were from somewhere out west.
It seems he could never stay put, but worked at one place long enough to have
fund to go on or if no funds he managed to go anyway. Sometimes he would stop
at Aunt Lizzie's in Colorado or Aunt Anna Mueller's in Columbus, Nebraska. A
western citizen once visiting in the Cape told Mother he had been in their town
for a long time and being a likeable person they had hoped to keep him there,
but that restless foot took him on. He spent some time in Cripple Creeks during
the "Wild West" days. Once the family learned of an awful catastrophe
at a mine where Arthur had been working and for a long time his mother thought
he must have died. Months later a letter from Alfred came from another location
that said he had left that town shortly before the accident. When the Spanish
American War was declared, he enlisted in the Army and went to Cuba where he
was in the battles of San Juan Hill and El Caney. When he came home from the
service his health was very poor and he spent time recuperating from a tropical
fever he had suffered from the poor food in the army. While in camp in
Florida before going to Cuba, he sent home two small alligators. One soon died,
the other we named Gen. Safter and had him in a pen for quite a while, but he
finally escaped. We always thought he muct have made his way down to the pond
and that some day we might see a grown reptile, but we saw no more of him. In 1899 he married
Louise Howe of Winsor, Canada. They had a baby but the child did not live. He became a brakeman on
a run from Chicago to Danville, Illinois. On December 22, 1902, while leaving
his train to go to the station for orders, he failed to see a train coming in
the opposite direction and was killed instantly. Louise came to visit at our
home agter Fred was gone, but a few years later we learned of her remarriage. Peculiar coincidence in
the fall of 1943, I was going from St. Louis to Toledo to spend a week-end with
Virginia who was visiting Tone and Joe. (Anthonia Astholz and Joe Goldbaum).
Due to an accident on the line ahead, our train was held up for six hours at
that very station at Hoopeston, where Fred was killed. Note: Name, date of

very severe case of whooping cough. One night after a bad attack the doctor was
called and pronounced him dead. Being in the middle of the night the udnertaker
was not called, but Grandmother Brandes "laid him out." Sometime
later, in passing she laid her hand on Ollie and as she did she thought she
felt a quiver. Taking him into her arms
she wrapped him in a wool blanket and proceeded to rub him until he began to
breath again. On her way home after daylight she met the doctor starting his
rounds. When she told him that Ollie was alive he though she had lost her mind
but ran to see. As a child things were
always happening to Ollie. As a small boy he broke his arm and sometime later
broke the other one. Once at a 4th of July he was badly burned playing with
powder. Ollie had been very
much in love with Mellie McClure of a well to do farm family in Illinois. It
was evidently mutual and for a year or two the family expected it to end
happily ever after and never quite understood why it didn't. He married Helen Kuelmer
in a pretty home ceremony at her parents home in Jackson. They had three
children . Note: Name, date of

Annabell was born, there was another baby in the womb that was half developed.
It had been conceived 4 and 1/2 months before. This is very rare, but the Astholz's
didn't want any Doctors doing research on it. Anna was a beautiful
girl and always doing for others. She was a very loveable person and had many
friend and beaus. She taught school for several years, first in country
schools, then in the town school. In her late teens Anna
was engaged to Otis Miller , a very good looking medical student and they
planned to marry after his graduation. He was a prominent families son of the
county and a favorite nephew of a prominent lawyer. Then she met Will
Godefry. Her mother used to say she was "hypnotized" by him. They
were married at a home ceremony on July 29, 1900. He gave her some lovely
diamonds and fine beautiful clothes. Ann was not always happy though. Will was
very dictatorial and of a jealous disposition even though she never gave him
cause to be. After a few years of
marriage they moved to Spokane Washington where Will became a realtor. They had two boys
William and Charles. After more than a year
of poor health, Ann died in 1937 of complications of ailments. "Tone"
and cousin Helen spent the last few months with her. The funeral was followed
by cremation and her ashes were buried in the family lot of the old Lorimer
Cemetary. Note: Name, date of

Toledo, Lucas, Ohio. Notes for ANTHONIA ANNA EMILIE ASTHOLZ: When Tone was small she
and Messie were often mistaken for twins but they only looked alike in build.
In the early years their mother would dress them alike probably because it was
easier. When she was twelve Tone had a period of religious fervor and wanted to
be confirmed in the Lutheran Chruch. . For a time Tone went to the Lutheran
School and was confirmed at age 13. Confirmation was always held on Palm Sunday
with Communion the follwing Thrusday. There had to be a white dress, possibly
of Challis and a second day dress. After that the whole family went to dinner
and gave presents. There was always a class party at one of the homes and each
one had to ahve and autograph album in which all the others wrote those
memorable verses. Tone was always
romantic. She had a notbook of sentimental quotations she had copied from
hither and yon. Next to Ann, she was the prettiest of the family and never
lacked for beaus or friends. As girls at home , Tone usually got out of doing
the things she didn't want to do. At times she would start in and clean the
shole house and then woe to anyone who walked across her freshly scrubbed
floor. Tone told her sister
Messie secretly that she was going to elope on the following Wednesday with
Joe. Messie was skeptical and did not take her seriously since Tone had always
spoken of eloping. She Messie because she needed white gloves and a few extra things
since she did not have a trouseau. She wore a little black and white lawn dress
that she made herself of five yards of material at 3 cents per yard. The whole
dress cost fifteen cents! In mid-afternoon they
phoned from Jackson that they had married and wanted Messie to tell
"Papa." He was quite hurt at first, but after a bit accepted it as
something he could do nothing about. When Tone and Joe came to the house later
that evening, Tone was disappointed that they were readily welcomed. They stood
at the gate and asked "may we come in?" Tone had hoped that there
would be something like "never darken my door again," to be followed
by tearful reconciliations. Joe was a nephew of
Neuman Erb, who built the railroad from St. Louis to Memphis, The offices at that
time were at Cape and Joe was of that force. Joe and Tone started their married
life in Cape girardeau but when Mr. Erb sold that line and acquired interest in
the Pere Marquette, they were transferred to Milwaukee and then later to
Toledo. Joe came from a very
wealthy Jewish family and owned his own rail car. Always most considerate of
Tone, he bought her beautiful clothing.Tone was very generous and did many
lovely things for others, a habit which grew stronger over the years. She would
send her niece Agnes Adams her clothing once she tired of them, and Agnes
always had beautiful new clothing and was dressed to the nines. Joe and Tone were
happily married for over fifty years. They had no children. Tone was sick for
several months and died January 29, 1958 in Sylvania, Ohio. Note: Name, date of

Artomiese, Augusta (her mother) was under great stress. Henrich was very ill
with a carbuncle (what is now a large boil) on his neck. For days his recovery
seemed doubtful. It is understandable with several small children and a sick
husband the stress that Augusta must have been under. Despite all that is said
about worries having no effect on the unborn when the baby came they would not
let Augusta see it. Artomiese was born with an awful sore on the neck and
shortly choked to death. Note: Name and date of

lad and very good looking. As a small boy he had beautiful curls that his
mother took pride in shaping around her finger.
As was the custom then, he wore kilt suits until he became of school
age. He probably had a better education than the other boys in the family and a
better sense of business. When a school boy, he got a job as a special delivery
boy at the post office and then helped there in other areas. In his late teens
he worked as a clerk at the First National Bank and was generally though older
than his years. He went out to Spokane to visit Ann and there got a job with a
wholesale fruit company as a bookkeeper. While in Spokane he met
Mabel Pillet who was visiting her sister Mrs. Simson. The next year in the fall
of 1909, Mabel came out from her home in Indiana to be married which they were
on November 27, 1909. They had three daughters on one son but not a happy
marriage. They were just not compatible. Mabel grew careless of everything but
a good time, careless of her home and personal appearance. They moved to
Florida and were divorced. Jim had a heart attack
and recovered. Then October 12, 1948 he died on the gold course. Note: 1900 census in

Thrusday, August 13, 1883. Christened Amalia, Emelia, Helena. It was is seemd
at that time God parents were though quite important. I had two, a Mrs. Harting
for one and for and Aunt I was named Emelia.(Emelia Brandes) I knew her very
little except that occasionally I was sent to take her one of my mothers coffee
cakes. Helena was for my Grandmother Brandes. Amalia was for a Mrs. A. Bader
and she seemed a most important God Mother, for she was giving me a nice gift
on evey occasion. I didn't go to the German school as my older sisters and
brothers did, but entered grade school at the ol Lorimier school at the age of
six and finished the 8th grade there at 12. The next fall I entered the Normal
School, the name of which was changed a year or two later to Southeast Missouri
Teachers College. I received my diploma, a life teaching certificate before I
was 17. It was not "cum laude" not anything approcahing it, but my
Mother felt a certain pride in the fact that I was the youngest ever to have
completed the course, tho I had often wished I might have gone another
year." More About AMALIA (MOLLIE) EMELIA HELENA ASTHOLZ: Record Change: November
