1 NOTE Ralph Lanterman, according to his children and close 
2 CONT family friends, say he was a man who always was working. 
1 NOTE Raising a family during The Great Depression, that was not 
2 CONT always an easy thing to do. Some of the jobs he was said to have include, 
2 CONT grocery store manager, drummer and movie house manager. 
1 NOTE According to Marion "Maydie" Watson, friend of Ralph's wife, 
2 CONT Ralph was a drummer for the Billy Burrell Band, a band her 
2 CONT brother Henry "Hen" Clarke also played for. 
1 NOTE She says though the band never made the big time in New York, it did 
2 CONT rather 
2 CONT well in the Morristown area. In fact they would play regularly 
2 CONT on the local radio.
1 NOTE From the obituary of Ralph Lewis Lanterman:

1 NOTE The below is based on stories from the March 25, 1896 Galveston Daily 
2 CONT News.
1 NOTE That night at Tobe Mongan's saloon was like most others for a 
2 CONT Tuesday night in March of 1896.
1 NOTE The gang from the Santa Fe Railroad was there, stopping off for 
2 CONT a few beers and to listen to the music of a local guitarist. So 
2 CONT too were the friends of Tobe Mongan's son-in-law, James L. 
2 CONT Williams. They were there to play cards. 
1 NOTE But this night was different in one very important respect. It 
2 CONT was the night the first Mongan of our clan in America was to die 
2 CONT a violent death, one at the hands of a man he trusted, James 
2 CONT Williams.
1 NOTE According to the Galveston Daily News, Tobe had a little trouble 
2 CONT at closing time getting Williams and his pals to leave. Nevertheless 
2 CONT he was successfull at about 1 a.m. in getting them to take their 
2 CONT party out to the sidewalk in front of the saloon on 37th and Post 
2 CONT Office.
1 NOTE Though he was successful, it apparently didn't sit well with Mrs. 
2 CONT Mary Mongan, who from her bedroom above the saloon, could hear the 
2 CONT men talking and carryng on. 
1 NOTE At one point Mrs. Mongan even yelled out of her window, threatening 
2 CONT to douse the young revelers with water if they continued singing. 
2 CONT That didn't bother them. In fact, one man is reported as yelling 
2 CONT back that she could throw  all the water she wanted because they 
2 CONT were under a shed. 
1 NOTE Eventually, though, Tobe came out and yelled something at Jim who 
2 CONT didn't like what he said. The two got into a fight and Jim pulled his 
2 CONT Colt, firing one time into Tobe's stomach.
1 NOTE "Jim, you shot, me!" witnesses recalled Tobe crying. "I've been shot. 
2 CONT The good Irish Catholic she was, Mrs. Mongan sent for a priest right 
2 CONT away --- gotta have the last rites, you know --- then a cop and then 
2 CONT a doctor. 
1 NOTE Tobe was taken to the hospital and operated on 11 that morning. 
2 CONT The slug that ripped through his intestines was removed and doctors 
2 CONT thought he'd make it. 
1 NOTE He lived one day longer. At his deathbed, on one side stood his 
2 CONT brother Michael on the other, his pal Jimmy Riley. The rest of the 
2 CONT family gathered round as the priest performed last rites.  He was 
2 CONT dead by 9 a.m. Thursday March 26. 
1 NOTE The funeral, the news reports say, was "one of the largest ever 
2 CONT witnessed in this city." No doubt, Tobe being a member of the 
2 CONT Ancient Order of the Hibernians and the Emmet Benevolent Association 
2 CONT helped. 
1 NOTE It also helped that he was a man of "sterling character" and one of 
2 CONT the Rev. Lee's "finest" parishoners. It probably didn't hurt either 
2 CONT that he was a saloon keeper and a native of Roscommon, Ireland. 
2 CONT He arrived in Galveston in 1872. (by boat? with brother?) 
1 NOTE What became of Jimmy Williams?
1 NOTE His charges were immediately upgraded 
2 CONT from assault with intent to commit murder to murder and a day or two 
2 CONT later was indicted with Tobe Mongan's murder. 
2 CONT He was later released on $2,500 bond, paid April 24, 1896, according 
2 CONT to documents at the Galveston County District Clerk's Office. 
1 NOTE Trial was on Tuesday, May 19, 1896, and according to testimony 
2 CONT reported the next day in the Galveston Daily News under the 
2 CONT headline, Williams Acquitted Of The Charge of Murder for Killing 
2 CONT His Father-In-Law Tobe Mongan, Only Took (Jury) A Few Minutes, No 
2 CONT Proof That He Fired The Fatal Shot, Williams' tale was as follows: 
1 NOTE Williams said he stopped by Mongan's saloon Tuesday afternoon while 
2 CONT workers repaired his "engine." It doesn't say what sort of engine, 
2 CONT but considering they all lived near the railroad tracks, it was 
2 CONT probably a train engine. 
1 NOTE That afternoon, Williams testified, a dog "snapped at one of his 
2 CONT children that (sic) was riding a wheel on the sidewalk" and he 
2 CONT went next door to get his gun. Then after a long day of drinking, 
2 CONT which included, he testified, a bottle of cognac between him and 
2 CONT Tobe, night fell. 
1 NOTE After the bottle of cognac, Williams testified, he remembered 
2 CONT nothing except the noise of prisoners in the jail. 
2 CONT Witnesses for Williams, including his wife, said they never saw 
2 CONT him drunk and Williams testified that he had always had a good 
2 CONT relationship with his father-in-law. 
1 NOTE None of the witnesses who testified for the state in Judge Cavin's 
2 CONT court said they saw Williams fire the shot. They only reported 
2 CONT hearing the scuffle and the shot fired. 
1 NOTE So following a lunch break and closing arguments that began at 3 
2 CONT p.m., the jury retired to make their decision. They returned with 
2 CONT a not guilty verdict. 
1 NOTE Written in the hand of the foreman John W. Harris, the document 
2 CONT on file at the District Clerk's Office reads as thousands others 
2 CONT like it have: "We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty." 
2 CONT After hearing the verdict, the news account says, "The accused 
2 CONT was escorted from the courtroom by a crowd of friends, who 
2 CONT were profuse in their congratulations to Williams and his 
2 CONT wife, each of whom carried a babe in arms, their children." 
1 NOTE Later records and obituaries indicate Bridget Williams 
2 CONT lived in Cleburne. Perhaps that explains the only story 
2 CONT Mary Margaret Mongan remembers sounding remotely like 
2 CONT the one recounted here. 
1 NOTE According to that story, told to her by her father, there 
2 CONT was an incident in which someone in the family was shot and 
2 CONT the one who did it was "run out of town." 
2 CONT Perhaps after the jury acquitted Williams, he and Bridget 
2 CONT were "run out of town." 
1 NOTE In fact, in a Houston Post obituary for Mollie Mongan Garvin, 
2 CONT Mrs. B. Williams is listed a living in Bakersfield, California. 
2 CONT The time of Mollie's death was May 30, 1952. 
1 NOTE According to records at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Dickinson, Tobias is 
2 CONT buried in lot B-2 in Calvary Cemetery in Galveston. 
2 CONT A 9-10 foot monument, with his name and that of his other offspring 
2 CONT a son-in-law, wife and brother-in-law can be found at the cemetery. 
1 NOTE On it confirms that he was born in County Roscommon and that he was 
2 CONT born on Dec. 29, 1841. 
1 NOTE Mary Margaret Mongan also indicates that she remembers that her dad, 
2 CONT Tobias's grandson, remembers living near the railroad tracks at 
2 CONT one time --- before moving to 4408 Broadway as a kid with his father 
2 CONT Thomas. 
1 NOTE M.M. Mongan also remembers dancing the waltz with her grandfather, 
2 CONT Thomas Mongan,  at a place called the Brown Mule on 37th, near Post 
2 CONT Office Street. She thinks however it was closer to Winnie. 
1 NOTE       FROM THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF TOBIAS MONGAN
1 NOTE After some legalese confirming his death, it begins "...I Tobias 
2 CONT Mongan declare this to be my last will and testament. I hereby will 
2 CONT and devise to my wife Mary Mongan all the property owned and 
2 CONT possessed by me of every kind and description whatsoever to 
2 CONT have or dispose of as she may see proper in her own right forever. 
2 CONT I appoint Mary Mongan, executrix of my estate and I 1 RELIeve her from 
2 CONT giving bond on such..."

1 NOTE From Page 243 of Book 31 of the Probate Minutes:

2 CONT 2. NW Quarter of Block No. 282

2 CONT ......     70 
2 CONT Personal property:  Cash at Galveston National Bank     ......    550
1 NOTE Not bad, eh, for a guy who came to Galveston in 1872 and was 
2 CONT sworn in a citizen on Nov. 18, 1873?
1 NOTE                MORE STUFF ON TOBIAS MONGAN'S ESTATE
1 NOTE During his life in Galveston, as his obituary states, he amassed 
2 CONT quite a bit of property. More than that, though, were the buildings 
2 CONT that were erected on the property.
1 NOTE Besides the huge home at 4408 Broadway (Block 224) built after his 
2 CONT death, (see Mary Agnes Smith for detail on the home), he bought 
2 CONT property at 37th and Post Office (Block 456), 43rd and H, (Block 
2 CONT 282), and 35th and Market (Block 515). He also bought some 
2 CONT property in Hitchcock, as his will indicates, but thus far I haven't 
2 CONT had time to locate it. 
1 NOTE According County Deed Records this is what he paid for the property 
2 CONT mentioned above: 
1 NOTE 1. NW 1/4 of Block 456   .............  $1,408 on April 29, 1881 
2 CONT 2. SE 1/4 of Block 224   .............      66 in Galveston City stock 
2 CONT on April 16, 1883 
2 CONT 3. Lot 8  in Block 515   .............     650 on Feb.  21, 1887 
2 CONT 4. NW 1/4 of Block 282   .............     660 on Feb.  18, 1889
1 NOTE Most of this property was bought from the Galveston City Co. formed 
2 CONT in 1838 by the founder of the City of Galveston to develop their 
2 CONT enterprise: Block 456, 224 and 282. Block 515 was bought from James 
2 CONT S. and Fannie McFarland of Oswego Co., New York. 
1 NOTE In addition to the Broadway property, Tobias built on and developed 
2 CONT the property at 37th and Post Office. According to the assessors 
2 CONT abstracts in the Rosenberg Library Tobe built him quite a few homes 
2 CONT there: The store, saloon and home on the corner at 3627, 3625, 3623 
2 CONT and two separate but identical homes at 3619 and 3621 Post Office. 
2 CONT Several other structures were built at 3613 1/2 and 3617, as well 
2 CONT as 510, 512 and 514 37th Street.
1 NOTE This property was developed about the same time that his brother-in- 
2 CONT law John Smith, who built at the corner of 36th and Post Office, 
2 CONT built homes on his quarter of the block. The Carrolls, who were 
2 CONT later to affiliate themselves with the Mongan's through the marriage 
2 CONT of Margaret Carroll to Thomas Mongan, lived at 3607 Post Office, 
2 CONT as renters of John Smith for some time at the turn of the century. 
2 CONT Again I say, not bad for an Irish immigrant who lived in this 
2 CONT country only 25 years, eh? 
1 NOTE                   A COUPLE OF INTERESTING NOTES 
1 NOTE In the 1880 Census when Bridget, Thomas and Mollie were just kids, 
2 CONT Tobe and Mary had an 18-year-old white servant living with them 
2 CONT by the name of Tillie Middleston. 
1 NOTE Also, the only time, it appears, Tobias sold property was on Oct. 
2 CONT 29, 1888 to Michael Mongan. He sold him the west half of Lot 10 and 
2 CONT the east half of Lot 11 on Broadway next door for $400. But it seems 
2 CONT Michael never built on the property and by 1893 the property fell 
2 CONT into the hands of Frank Connolly. 
1 NOTE Since beginning my research on Tobe Mongan in 1992, I've long 
2 CONT speculated Michael Mongan of Winnie Street was his brother. Though 
2 CONT I've never found documented proof, I did find several coincidences: 
1 NOTE Baptismal records of their children which showed cross sponsorships 
2 CONT of people with the same names, an obituary for MM, which showed he 
2 CONT had three nieces and a nephew and others details. 
1 NOTE But the most convincing evidence comes from Avanelle Lane Durham, 
2 CONT MM's granddaughter. She notes, independent of anything I've done, 
2 CONT that the two were brothers and provides amazingly good detail on 
2 CONT his children and on my great grandfather's children. 
1 NOTE Her source could be her mother or other relative, but whatever it is it 
2 CONT certianly 
2 CONT is uncannily accurate for someone so distantly related and from 
2 CONT so far away (Indiana). 
1 NOTE It turns out her source was her mother. Though I still don't have a 
2 CONT document to prove it, there is little doubt now that Michael is Tobe's 
2 CONT brother. 
1 NOTE The document arrived in the mail a few days after May 10 1994. 
1 NOTE ALD sent me a copy of a handwritten note her mother compiled sometime 
2 CONT between 1964 and 1969 that states without a doubt that Michael's 
2 CONT brother was Tobias, Michael's mother was Mary Jennings and that 
2 CONT Tobias had five children, one of whom was Thomas, who had four 
2 CONT children.
1 NOTE She even noted that Eldred had no children and that 
2 CONT my grandfather Tobias had one son, Tobias Jr. 
1 NOTE Short of having a marriage or birth record for Michael that states 
2 CONT who his mother was, this is about the best proof, independent or 
2 CONT otherwise someone could have. 
1 NOTE Baptismal record for the Parish of Kiltullagh, in the Diocese
2 CONT of Tuam for the years 1839-1880, found on microfilm through 
2 CONT the Family History Center, Church of Latter-day Saints 
2 CONT (Mormons) shows a Toby Mongan being baptised by 
2 CONT the Rev. F. (looks like) Kearny on Jan. 30, 1842. 
1 NOTE His parents are identified as Thomas Mongan and Mary Jennings. 
2 CONT Sponsor was Mary Higgins. (A further search of that film show 
2 CONT a close kinship between Jennings, Higgins and Mongans.)
1 NOTE Ref no. for the film is British Film Area: 0926226. 
2 CONT Though there is no secondary confirmation that Toby is indeed 
2 CONT the Tobias Mongan I've been researching at this date (June 13, 
2 CONT 1993), it seems improbable that he could be any other. 
1 NOTE Some reasons: All records, including his own grave marker, 
2 CONT indicate he was born in Co. Roscommon, Dec. 29, 1841. The one 
2 CONT exception is his declaration of intent, which shows his birth 
2 CONT being in 1845. 
1 NOTE Second, for any Mongan to be baptised in Co. Roscommon one month 
2 CONT after the birth of Tobias Mongan, great odds would have to be 
2 CONT defied.
1 NOTE Furthermore, the odds of that Mongan being a "Toby" 
2 CONT born to a Thomas (the name Tobias gave to his first son) 
2 CONT and baptised one month after Tobias' birth in Co. Roscommon 
2 CONT become almost incredible.
1 NOTE Other support for this being the right one is according to 
2 CONT Griffiths Valuation for Ireland, which can be found on micro- 
2 CONT fiche at the Clayton Genealogical Library in Houston, shows 
2 CONT a Thomas and Michael Mongan living in House #1 next door 
2 CONT to a John Mongan in House #2, both of which was leased from 
2 CONT a Col. Fulke S. Greville in the Townland of Pollanalty 
2 CONT East in the parish of Kiltullah in the Baroney of Castlereagh 
2 CONT for the year of 1855. 
1 NOTE The point: Two of the male names were used by Tobias in America 
2 CONT and the name Michael was his brothers own. So it's conceivable 
2 CONT that Thomas Mongan named his second son after his brother. 
1 NOTE Finally, I checked parish records through the FHC/LDS film 
2 CONT archives for Mongans found in other parts of Roscommon County 
2 CONT for 1855: Kilbride Parish where a Micheal Mongan showed up on 
2 CONT Griffiths didn't pan out, nor did the parishs of Cam and Kiltoom 
2 CONT in which Griffiths recorded a Dennis and Dominick Mongan. 
1 NOTE The only other Mongan in Griffiths for Co. Roscommon was an 
2 CONT Andrew Mongan in the Parish of Roscommon and Kilteevan. I didn't 
2 CONT check film archieves for that parish because "Andrew" is a 
2 CONT foreign name and by then I had come across the Toby in Kiltullagh. 
1 NOTE Yet, I have no second confirmation of this Toby being The Tobias 
2 CONT which troubles me. Even more troubling is Michael Mongan, Tobe's 
2 CONT brother who was born in 1853 (if the age of death listed in his 
2 CONT obituary in the GDN can be believed), doesn't show up in the 
2 CONT baptismal records. 
1 NOTE One possibility, though, is the GDN got the age wrong, saying 
2 CONT his age at death was 59 in 1912, when in fact it was 69, which 
2 CONT would place his birth in 1843, two years after Tobe's.
1 NOTE A check of the baptismal records, low and behold, does have a 
2 CONT baptismal being performed on an offspring of Thomas Mongan and 
2 CONT Mary Jennings on March 1, 1843. Yet, the film is not clear, 
2 CONT nor is the handwriting legible, so it's not clear if the 
2 CONT child's name is "Michael." Though my best guess is it is "Thomas." 
1 NOTE Could Michael have been actually Thomas Michael Mongan? 
1 NOTE Finally for the record, because I don't think I've recorded it 
2 CONT anywhere else, the town Thomas Mongan and Mary Jennings lived 
2 CONT in at the time of the baptisms was Coolisher or Coolisker in 
2 CONT Kiltullagh Parish.

1 NOTE The best and most complete information on Mary Smith is
2 CONT found in the 1900 Census, where it shows she was born in 
2 CONT May 1852, married 28 years and in the United States for 
2 CONT the previous 36 years. 
1 NOTE That means she was 48 at the time, which is what she answered 
2 CONT on the census. But it's not clear whether she meant she was 
2 CONT married 28 years to Tobias Mongan at the time of his death, 
2 CONT which would place their marriage as being sometime in 
2 CONT 1868 when she was 16, or whether she meant it had been 
2 CONT a full 28 years since her marriage in 1872, a year before the 
2 CONT birth of Bridget in 1873. 
1 NOTE Until I find her marriage record, I will go with 1872 as the 
2 CONT year of their marriage. 
1 NOTE By the way, that Census that was taken when they lived at 
2 CONT 4408 Broadway, also shows she had five of her six children 
2 CONT living: Bridget, 27, and Thomas, 25, both of whom were living 
2 CONT elsewhere. Mollie, 20, Johnnie, 18, and Jennie, 14, were still 
2 CONT living with her.
1 NOTE Katie died after living only 3 days in 1884. 
1 NOTE The last U.S. Census in which she appears, 1910, Mary is living 
2 CONT at 2305 Texas Ave. in Houston with Mollie (Mongan) Garvin, 25, 
2 CONT a widow, Mollie's 3-year-old daughter, (her name is not legible) and 
2 CONT Jennie, 20.
1 NOTE Mary's age is given as 50 years. As you can tell, 
2 CONT either the census taker didn't care to verify or these women 
2 CONT weren't about to give their real ages. 
1 NOTE Interesting side note: Fred Garvin, Mollie's husband, was from 
2 CONT Tennessee, according to this census.) 
1 NOTE The earliest census record that I can find with both Tobias and 
2 CONT Mary Smith Mongan is 1880, when they were living at 3627 Post 
2 CONT Office in Galveston.
1 NOTE Living with them at the time were Thomas W. Mongan, 4, 
2 CONT Bridget, 6, Mary (Mollie), 9 months, and a white servant named 
2 CONT Tillie Middleston, 18. 
1 NOTE Tobias is 35 and Mary Agnes (Smith) Mongan is 28. (Her age appears 
2 CONT right, while Tobias is not telling the truth or whoever answered for 
2 CONT him isn't. He, if his gravestone is right, is 39. 
2 CONT (Another interesting note: Living next door is a Michael Smith, 31, 
2 CONT a boarder.)
1 NOTE                    OTHER INFO ON MARY AGNES SMITH 
1 NOTE Though they are not as "official" as the U.S. Census, 
2 CONT Galveston City Directories also have her listed after the shooting 
2 CONT death of her husband. 
1 NOTE The 1896-97 Galveston City Directory states that she is the widow 
2 CONT of Tobias Mongan and that she lives at 3627 Post Office and sells 
2 CONT groceries, operates a saloon and furnishes rooms at that same address.
1 NOTE The directory also indicates that her son Thomas Mongan lives with 
2 CONT her. He is listed as a clerk for the Santa Fe freight depot. 
2 CONT (Two years later, Thomas would marry Margaret Carroll.)
1 NOTE By the time the Galveston City Directory for 1909-10 comes out 
2 CONT Mary Smith Mongan has been living in her new home at 4408 Broadway 
2 CONT for 10 years --- if the 1898 city directory, which shows her living 
2 CONT there, is to be believed.
1 NOTE By now Bridget and her husband John Williams, the man who shot Tobe, 
2 CONT is long gone.
1 NOTE Thomas is living, according to the same directory, 
2 CONT at 3621 Post Office, and the only child living with Mary Smith Mongan is 
2 CONT "Miss Jennie Mongan," as the directory indicates.
1 NOTE Mollie must be in Houston married to Mr. Garvin. Jennie's age at this 
2 CONT time is 24 or 25.
1 NOTE Back at the old homestead on 37th and Post Office is a Patrick Mongan, 
2 CONT who according to his will, is the cousin of Tobe's son Thomas. More than 
2 CONT likely though he is Thomas' second cousin and Tobe's first.
1 NOTE The reason I say that is the ages don't jibe: Thomas in 1909 would 
2 CONT be 33 or 34, while Pat Mongan is in his early 60s. (SEE PAT MONGAN 
2 CONT FOR DETAILS.)
1 NOTE In 1910, as the census for Houston and Galveston show, Mary and 
2 CONT her daughters are in Houston and a Scottish (or Scots Irish?) family by 
2 CONT the name of McDonald is renting the home at 4408 Broadway.
1 NOTE Peter McDonald, 50, and his wife, Mary, 38, have seven children, ranging 
2 CONT in age from 17 to 4, and a lodger Edward E. Powell, 24, living with them.
1 NOTE The GCDs for 1911-1917 were not immediately available, but by 
2 CONT the time the 1918 directory comes out, Thomas William Mongan is 
2 CONT living in the home on 4408 Broadway.
1 NOTE Tobias Thomas Mongan, who dropped out of school in the 6th grade, 
2 CONT is 17, living with his folks and working as a repairman for the 
2 CONT Galveston Electric Co. Bernard was working with National Ship 
2 CONT Building.
1 NOTE Mary Margaret Mongan, TTM's daughter, says that she, her sister 
2 CONT Clementine, and Bubbie (Tobias Thomas Mongan II) actually lived in 
2 CONT the home for about 6 months one year, primarily to help Thomas 
2 CONT who was getting up in years.
1 NOTE MMM's recollection of the place, which is no longer standing, is 
2 CONT rather detailed. 
1 NOTE Coming up to the porch, which wrapped around to the back side door, 
2 CONT a visitor would encounter an ornate stained-glassed front door. 
1 NOTE Beyond the door, were the living room to the right, the stairs 
2 CONT straight ahead and hallway to the left, which led to the 
2 CONT kitchen. 
1 NOTE The kitchen was huge, with a walk-in pantry, where she and her 
2 CONT brother and sister would hide. To the left of the pantry was a 
2 CONT large broom closet.
1 NOTE Out the back door was a big field where the kids would play ball and the 
2 CONT outhouse stood as a reminder of times gone by. On both sides of the home 
2 CONT were large plum trees. 
1 NOTE According to Galveston County deed records, Tobias paid $66 
2 CONT in stock from the Galveston City Co. on April 16, 1883, for the 
2 CONT southeast quarter of Block 224, which is the corner of Broadway 
2 CONT and 44th Street today.
1 NOTE And according to the County Assessor Abstracts for the late 1890s, 
2 CONT the home was shaped like a fat "T" with the bottom of the T facing
2 CONT Broadway and fronting a porch. Behind the home were two square- 
2 CONT shapped buildings.
1 NOTE MMM says that the house remained in the family until after T.W. 
2 CONT Mongan died in 1948, when Aelred and Thomasine, who inherited it 
2 CONT sold it. 
1 NOTE A family Bible held by Tobias Thomas Mongan II has an entry 
2 CONT for the death of Mary Agnes Mongan, Sept. 4, 1917. That is 
2 CONT confirmed by her last will and testament and obituary in the 
2 CONT Galveston Daily News for Thursday, Sept. 6, 1917.
1 NOTE              MARY AGNES SMITH'S LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT 
1 NOTE After some legalese, it clearly states that she died in Harris Co. 
2 CONT on Sept. 4, 1917. But her "fixed place of residence was Galveston." 
1 NOTE Thomas William Mongan was named her testatrix.
1 NOTE The will begins on page 409 of Probate Minutes Book 65.

1 NOTE BIO:In the obituary for her mother in The Houston Post, Sept. 5, 1917,
2 CONT she is identifed as Mrs. Leo J. LaRue. A look in the Houston 
2 CONT City Directory for 1917 shows she lived in #5 of the Ivanhoe Apts. 
2 CONT No address is given. Her husband is listed as a chief clerk for 
2 CONT Texas Co. (Texaco??). 
2 CONT From a Houston Post obituary from around Jan. 10, 1925: 
2 CONT LARUE --- Funeral services for Mrs. Jennie Larue, 39, who died 
2 CONT at her residence, 1513 Austin street, at 1:45 p.m. Saturday will 
2 CONT be held at 8:45 a.m. Monday at the Church of the Annunciation, 
2 CONT Rev. G.T. Walsh officiating. The body will be forwarded to 
2 CONT Galveston by the Earthman Undertaking company at 1:45 p.m. 
2 CONT Monday. Burial will be in Calvary 1 CEMEtery in Galveston. 
2 CONT Mrs. Larue is survived by her husband, two sisters, Mrs. J.L. 
2 CONT Williams and Mrs. M. Garvin, both of Houston, and a brother, 
2 CONT T.W. Mongan of Galveston. 
2 CONT Pallbearers will be J.W. McCann, W.J. McInnerney, Ed F. Hale, 
2 CONT Earl Dreyling, W.I. Derden, and J.H. Borches. 
2 CONT This obituary seems to indicated she left no children. 
2 CONT Galveston Daily News March 26, 27, 1896 for the death of her
2 CONT father Tobias Mongan. Galveston Daily News Sept. 5, 1917 for the 
2 CONT death of her mother and The Houston Post for the same date, 
2 CONT although she is listed there as Mrs. L.J. LaRue. 
2 CONT City Directory of Houston, 1917. 
2 CONT Her birthdate on her St. Patrick's baptism record on file at the 
2 CONT Galveston-Houston diocese archives in Houston contradicts the family 
2 CONT bible, which records her birth on Sept. 28. Here it's the 6th. 
2 CONT And it has to be because her baptism took place on Sept. 27. Making 
2 CONT this record valuable is it is one of only a few that shows a close 
2 CONT connection between Michael Mongan of Winnie Street and Tobias Mongan. 
2 CONT Michael and Bridget (Mullen) Mongan are Jennie's sponsors. Incident- 
2 CONT ally, there is no baptism record where Michael Mongan of AVE K is 
2 CONT a baptism sponsor of Tobe Mongan's kids. 
2 CONT Her marriage date and location (Annunciation Church in Houston) is 
2 CONT recorded in the margin of her baptism record. It notes also that 
2 CONT a James or John Ryan and Catherine Coffey were witnesses to her

1 NOTE Unlike many kids who know their grandmother almost from birth,
2 CONT I only knew "Mamaw" as we called her on infrequent visits 
2 CONT to Galveston from wherever my father was stationed or whenever 
2 CONT they would come "up" and visit us. 
1 NOTE I did, however, live with her from the Christmas holidays in 
2 CONT 1966 until Feb. 20, 1967, while my father wrapped up his retirement 
2 CONT in Connecticut. By Feb. 20th we were living in Alta Loma, now 
2 CONT Santa Fe.
1 NOTE A little more than three years after we settled in Texas, she became 
2 CONT sick.
1 NOTE A day or two before her death, she talked with my mom 
2 CONT about a few snow flakes that were falling that January day in Alta 
2 CONT Loma and the chance snow would fall in Galveston.
1 NOTE Then just before hanging up, Mamaw remarked about how a blackbird had 
2 CONT perched itself in her windowsill. 
1 NOTE Birds. One of the first memories I have of my grandmother is her small 
2 CONT pudgy body bent over our bird cage at our home in Norfolk, Va., singing 
2 CONT in a high-pitched voice, "Hello, pretty bird. Hello, pretty bird." 
1 NOTE Mamaw liked birds. She also liked to talk.
1 NOTE That's one of the things I liked most about her. While all the other old 
2 CONT folks would treat me like a kid or a pain in their ass, she would talk to 
2 CONT me like I was on her level and had known her all my life. 
1 NOTE She loved talking about family more than anything and while it may 
2 CONT have seemed trivial to those who might have heard us talking it 
2 CONT was like hearing tales of long ago to me. 
1 NOTE She told me once, while I sat at the foot of her bed in Galveston, about 
2 CONT her mother who was a Wenzel and how her mother, who I later learned was a 
2 CONT Hermann, would stand at one end of the island and wave a white sheet each 
2 CONT night before going to bed, just to let everyone know everything was 
2 CONT alright. 
1 NOTE She also told me during that same conversation that her mother's father 
2 CONT was a grocery store owner and let Indians stay in his attic and would 
2 CONT spend lots of time up there eating cheese and talking with them. 
1 NOTE One Sunday night after Ed Sullivan and after she had filled me and 
2 CONT Kevin full of coke in the small bottles and M&Ms served in small 
2 CONT glass dishes with bumps on the outside that made the candy look 
2 CONT bigger when you looked through them, the conversation turned to 
2 CONT crime for some reason. 
1 NOTE She told two stories: one about my uncle Toby getting chased down 
2 CONT by a black kid (she never said "nigger," which my grandfather would 
2 CONT say as easily as he would one of his kids names). Toby ran into 
2 CONT the back yard, a trumpet in its case in one hand, school books in the 
2 CONT other.
1 NOTE The kid, she said, was crazy. The story has no point, it's just a 
2 CONT vivid memory. 
1 NOTE The other story was about a man who tried breaking into their front 
2 CONT door one night and my grandfather running into the bedroom, pulling 
2 CONT out a rusted old pistol and waving it through the beveled glass of 
2 CONT their front door. 
1 NOTE "He was going to shoot the man and pull him into the house," I 
2 CONT remember her saying. "He thought that if he pulled him into his 
2 CONT house he could say he broke in and was justified. But I told 
2 CONT him not to. I wouldn't be able to look at my front porch again 
2 CONT without seeing a dead man on it." 
1 NOTE But Mamaw was far from squeamish. 
1 NOTE One night, while  getting ready to take my bath in their old footed 
2 CONT tub, I was removing an ID bracelet I'd gotten for Christmas. It was 
2 CONT the coolest present besides my bike I got that year.
1 NOTE As I was putting the bracelet on the back of the commode it slipped into 
2 CONT the toilet, just as it was flushing. 
1 NOTE I yelled out something, and in ran Mamaw. Before I knew it, her 
2 CONT hand thrust deep into the toilet bowl, grabbed on to the bracelet 
2 CONT and pulled it out. 
1 NOTE Before I could put it back on though, she soaked it in rubbing 
2 CONT alcohol. The toilet wasn't even dirty. 
1 NOTE Alcohol. She had more bottles of rubbing alcohol in her bathroom 
2 CONT and kitchen than in all of John Sealy Hospital, which is an 
2 CONT indication of her fixation with cleanliness. 
1 NOTE Whenever she'd give you a coke or the adults a beer, out came a 
2 CONT Kleenex from one of her pockets and before you could take the 
2 CONT drink from her, she rub the top of the bottle clean. 
1 NOTE She also wrapped the door knobs in Kleenex. I always thought that 
2 CONT was strange, but later one spring Saturday or Sunday, while 
2 CONT I was playing outside, I found out why --- or so my mother tells 
2 CONT me. 
1 NOTE Pawzee worked on the railroads and for some reason she got it in 
2 CONT her head that he was fooling around on her. Maybe it was true. 
1 NOTE Who really knows? 
1 NOTE But that day they rolled up in the shell driveway of our house in Alta 
2 CONT Loma in their black 1964 Chevrolet Impala and Mamaw wouldn't get out of 
2 CONT the car. Pawzee walked inside and said something to my mother and they 
2 CONT both came back outside. 
1 NOTE "The woman's crazy and I'm tired of it," Pawzee said to my mother. "I've 
2 CONT brought her to stay with you.''
1 NOTE With that he then began to walk down the shell road, leaving her 
2 CONT to sit in the car her arms folded, black pill box hat place atop 
2 CONT her netted jet-black hair, eyes staring out over the hood of the 
2 CONT Impala. 
1 NOTE Somehow, Pawzee got tired of walking and came back to the house. 
1 NOTE By then, they were both inside and my mother was making peace 
2 CONT between them.
1 NOTE The Kleenex on the door knobs and the alcohol, I learned later was 
2 CONT because she feared Pawzee would bring home germs and infect her. 
1 NOTE She was a woman ahead of her time. In this age of AIDS, who would 
2 CONT have questioned her. But for that time, it seemed a little extreme. 
1 NOTE Why he would have fooled around on her is beside me. Old pictures 
2 CONT I've seen of her make her appear like a china doll.
1 NOTE One picture, I don't know where it is now, shows her at the piano, her 
2 CONT perfectly round face, black hair drapped around her face in the flapper 
2 CONT style, 
2 CONT and a huge ear-to-ear grin. 
1 NOTE The piano is significant. She supposedly had an "ear" for music. 
2 CONT Relatives say she could play any instrument after hearing a song. 
2 CONT I've been told she particularly liked the piano and banjo.
1 NOTE It's interesting to note that that musical ability apparently found 
2 CONT its way into the genetic makeup of my cousin Toby. If I'm not 
2 CONT mistaken, he too has the talent, which I rememeber seeing him 
2 CONT demonstrate on piano. 
1 NOTE Though I never saw her play an instrument, I do know that she loved 
2 CONT listening to music. Her favorites on Sunday were Lawrence Welk, 
2 CONT Frank Sinatra and Wayne Newton. I remember her liking the song 
2 CONT "Danke Schoen" by Wayne Newton and "Strangers In the Night" by 
2 CONT Sinatra. 
1 NOTE But she was no musical fuddy duddy. I remember watching the Doors 
2 CONT at her house on Ed Sullivan's TV show and she said she liked the 
2 CONT music. Light My Fire, I remember was a cover of the more sedate 
2 CONT original of Jose Feliciano's. Maybe that was it.
1 NOTE Another aspect of her I remember well is that she was superstitious, 
2 CONT much like her Irish husband, who used to cross his fingers and 
2 CONT cross his arms behind his back to ward off perceived evil.
1 NOTE I wonder if her superstitious nature has to do with a recent story 
2 CONT my mother told me about Mamaw's birth. 
1 NOTE It seems when Mamaw was born she had what folks called a "veil" on 
2 CONT her face, a piece of transparent skin attached to her forehead, covering 
2 CONT the length of her face. 
1 NOTE The story goes that such a veil blesses the newborn with special 
2 CONT powers and is in itself good luck, especially to men at sea. Recognizing 
2 CONT they had something of value my great grandfather Henry S. Birkmeyer sold 
2 CONT the veil of lucky skin to a sea captain. 
1 NOTE As for whether it brought the captain luck, no one knows, but as 
2 CONT for bringing Mamaw special powers, I've just recounted one, her 
2 CONT ability to play music by ear. 
1 NOTE Another incident that makes it hard to discount the "powers of the 
2 CONT veil story" -- if you let your imagination run wild for a second -- 
2 CONT is what happened while the priest was saying rosary at her wake. 
1 NOTE Two glass candle holders, one placed at the head of her casket, the 
2 CONT other at the foot, shattered within seconds of each other. The first 
2 CONT loud pop of broken glass rattled some of the people, but the second 
2 CONT loud pop downright made everyone in the parlor at Malloy & Son 
2 CONT Funeral Home gasp out loud.
1 NOTE Afterward, everyone made some comment about it and my mother, either 
2 CONT teasing or telling the truth, said "She always said she'd come back & 
2 CONT haunt us from her grave." 
1 NOTE I don't know why but whenever I think of my grandmother's death 
2 CONT I think of that cold January morning in 1970 and the black bird 
2 CONT perched in her window.

1 NOTE BIO:From the Census record of 1900 taken in Galveston:
2 CONT Residence: 3716 Broadway 
2 CONT Wife: Clementine Birkmeyer, born 1-1842 in Louisiana. Her father 
2 CONT was born in Louisiana and her mother was born in France. 
2 CONT For Henry: Born 11-1842 in Louisiana. Father and mother both born 
2 CONT in Germany. 
2 CONT From the 1879 City Directory of New Orleans: 
2 CONT Birkmeyer, H.S. tinner, G.W.W. Goodwyn; Laurel corner Berlin 
2 CONT From the 1880 City Directory of New Orleans: 
2 CONT Birkmeyer, Henry, Tinner, residence, southside Laurel between Milan 
2 CONT and Berlin. 
2 CONT The only other Birkmeyer's listed prior to that in New Orleans 
2 CONT is a August Birkmire (note different spelling, he may not be related) 
2 CONT at Burdette Carlt. This is from a 1853 city directory. 
2 CONT From a 1840 census record there is this listing: 
2 CONT Birkmire, S. Orleans 130 New Orleans. That means on Page 130 of the 
2 CONT census for Louisiana you'll find this record: 
2 CONT Birkmire, S. age between 20-30, wife, between 20-30, daughter 
2 CONT under 5. 
2 CONT Henry Birkmeyer doesn't appear in the Galveston Census record for 
2 CONT 1910, which raises the question of where did he go? 
2 CONT He may not be in the Census Record for 1910 because he more than 
2 CONT likely died between 1900 and 1910. Reason? He is listed in the 
2 CONT City Directory for Galveston for 1909-1910. At the time he is listed 
2 CONT as living with his son Henry Sebastian Birkmeyer Jr. at 3402 Winnie. 
2 CONT No other city directories between 1910 and 1917 were avialable, so it 
2 CONT is not certain if he died later. But it's highly probable that the 
2 CONT directory is a two-year directory and he may have died in 1910 
2 CONT after the directory was published and before the 1910 Census. 
2 CONT By the way, he was listed in every city directory where he      was 
2 CONT as a tinner, except for the 1909-1910, in which he is listed as a 
2 CONT fireman with the Galveston Water Works. 
2 CONT In fact, he is listed in the 1896-97 city directory for Galveston 
2 CONT as a tinner for Fredrick and Keats. At that time he lived, where 
2 CONT the 1900 Census found him, 3716 Broadway. 
2 CONT Also there was some question in my mind as to when Henry came to 
2 CONT Galveston. Well it seems it has to have been some time between 
2 CONT 1880, when he is in the N.O. 1880 C.D. ,  and 1882-83, when he 
2 CONT is listed as a resident of the northwest corner, on the west side 
2 CONT of Avenue I (Sealy) and 33rd Street. 
2 CONT Things to check: Death records for 1910. 
2 CONT Galveston Census record for 1900, Soundex for 1900,
2 CONT City Directory for 1880 of New Orleans. 
2 CONT Death record for Alex V. Birkmeyer, 1905 in Galveston County.

1 NOTE BIO:From a death notice in the Galveston Daily News, Monday Sept. 25,
2 CONT 1922. 
2 CONT It says there that the body of Birkmeyer was transported to 
2 CONT El Paso, where his family moved "about a year ago," after dying 
2 CONT at his brother's home Henry Sebastian Birkmeyer's home in Galveston. 
2 CONT It listed six surviving children, all living in El Paso: Romaine, 
2 CONT Clement, Joseph, Melda, Edna and Eugene Jr.  It also mentions his 
2 CONT brothers Henry and C.L. Birkmeyer, who lived at that time in Houston. 
2 CONT The notice also mentions that he was born in New Orleans. 
2 CONT Another death notice from a clipping of unknown origin reported 
2 CONT in The Lohec Family genealogy, Appendix I: 
2 CONT (Ronald Lohec notes in his genealogy that the death was reported 
2 CONT from another source to be Sept. 23, 1922.) 
2 CONT LIFELONG RESIDENT OF GALVESTON DIES, AGED 52 
2 CONT Eugene August Birkmeyer, 52, years old, a lifelong resident of 
2 CONT Galveston, died last night at 7:55 o'clock at the home of his 
2 CONT brother, H.S. Birkmeyer, 1101 Thirty-Seventh Street. 
2 CONT Recently Mr. Birkmeyer had been residing in El Paso, where he 
2 CONT went with his family about a year ago, for the benefit of his 
2 CONT wife's health. He had returned to Galveston about six weeks ago 
2 CONT having found the climate of El Paso unsuited to him. 
2 CONT Born in New Orleans, he came to Galveston when about 7 years old 
2 CONT and had live here continually up to the time of his going to 
2 CONT El Paso. He formerly was in the grocery business at Thirty-eigth 
2 CONT Street and Avenue K and was well known about the city. He was a 
2 CONT member of the plasterer's union. 
2 CONT Decedent is survived by his wife; six children, Eugene Jr., Edna, 
2 CONT Clement, Melda, Joseph and Romaine Birkmeyer, all of El Paso; and 
2 CONT two brothers, H.S. Birkmeyer of Galveston and C.I. Birkmeyer of 
2 CONT Houston. 
2 CONT Funeral arrangements are being held in abeyance, pending the 
2 CONT arrival of his wife from El Paso. 
2 CONT Note: Ronald Lohec adds a note to this obituary saying that 
2 CONT "An index of deaths in Texas reported the death of Eugene 
2 CONT Birkmeyer's wife, Ella Milton, in El Paso on April 24, 1937." 
2 CONT This contradicts a marriage record I found in the Galveston- 
2 CONT Houston Diocese Archives that indicates Eugne August married 
2 CONT a Pearl Isabell Compton. My guess is that Ella Milton is 
2 CONT a mistake.

1 NOTE BIO:His obituary from the Wednesday, Nov. 27, 1929 edition of the
2 CONT Galveston Daily News: 
2 CONT Silveria --- Funeral services for Frank Silveria, 89, who died 
2 CONT Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock at St. Mary's Infirmary, will be 
2 CONT held at 2 o'clock this afternoon from the late residence, 1114 
2 CONT Fifteenth Street, thence to Sacred Heart Church. Rev. M.S. 
2 CONT Chataignon will officiate and interment will be at Calvary 
2 CONT Cemetery under the direction of F.P. Malloy & Son. 
2 CONT Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. J.B. Wisrodt of Galveston 
2 CONT and Mrs. Katie Boxwell of Los Angeles; two sons, Jeff and 
2 CONT Archie Silveria, the latter from Kansas; two grandsons, four 
2 CONT grandaughters and a step-son, Henry Johnson of Houston. 
2 CONT Funeral Record at Malloy And Sons for the year of his death:
2 CONT Shows he was born in Portugal, but doesn't indicate parents. 
2 CONT Besides the obituary on Frank Silveria, who we know is Fausteen's 
2 CONT father, there is a passenger list in the Clayton Library for passen- 
2 CONT ger's arriving in New Orleans before 1900 that has a Francisco 
2 CONT Silveria, age 14, of Portugal, embarking in Antwerp. 
2 CONT His destination was San Francisco and he arrived in N.O. on May 3, 
2 CONT 1887 on the S.S. Nantes with a Manuel Silveria, age 43. 
2 CONT The Frank Silveria on the passenger list can not be Francisco in 
2 CONT this obituary because the ages don't add up. The question to be 
2 CONT resolved is, could Manuel have had a middle name, Francisco 
2 CONT perhaps? 
2 CONT Manuel was 43 at the time of arrival. That would have put his 
2 CONT birth at 1844. That still doesn't jibe quite exactly. 
2 CONT More research is necessary.

1 NOTE BIO:The story of Vincent Guzzi is a sad one. Born in Italy and
2 CONT coming to America in 1882  at the age of 25 he sought him- 
2 CONT self a wife. Her name was Lena Newmann. She was born 
2 CONT in Galveston, Texas. 
2 CONT He should have looked a little harder if family lore is 
2 CONT correct. 
2 CONT Vincent and Lena had several children, five in all. They were: 
2 CONT Josephine, the great grandmother of Peggy Dudley Lanterman, 
2 CONT Charles John Alexander Guzzi, b. June 29, 1894, Frank David Guzzi, 
2 CONT b. Dec. 1897, Louis Emil, (weird huh, she had a Louis as a brother 
2 CONT and later married a Louis Dudley) b. SEP 1899. 
2 CONT Anthony Guzzi died at the age of 4. He never lived to see the 
2 CONT infamous day his father was gunned down. 
2 CONT Also living in the house was Nick Guzzi, Vincent's brother. 
2 CONT Nick, according to the 1900 Census, was a 41, two year younger 
2 CONT than Vincent. He also had the ominous occupation of salesman 
2 CONT (being a Lanterman, the one writing this, that has an spooky ring). 
2 CONT Vincent was a simple merchant. As to how our great government 
2 CONT Census takers differentiated between a merchant --- one who 
2 CONT sells --- from a salesman --- one who sells --- is beyond my 
2 CONT comprehension. But then that bureaucrats for you. 
2 CONT The deed is done. 
2 CONT According to Alice Jane Guzzi Pratt, the daughter of Charles mentioned 
2 CONT above, his loving wife and even more loving mother-in-law (young men 
2 CONT see story about Tobias Mongan for what in-laws are good for) told him 
2 CONT his horse was loose. 
2 CONT Not wanting to lose a good horse, Vincent, said to be a smallish man, 
2 CONT ran after the steed. 
2 CONT But he got no further than his property line. Waiting for him outside 
2 CONT his home at 728 Ave. D., was the man who would take his life and 
2 CONT run off with his wife (nice rhyme eh?) and children to Nashville, 
2 CONT Tenn. 
2 CONT Who was the man who shot Vincent Guzzi? Well, according to Alice Pratt 
2 CONT it was a man called Nix, thought to be a medical student at the 
2 CONT island's University of Texas Medical Branch. 
2 CONT But it sure is a coincidence that a man named Nick (remember him, the 
2 CONT salesman) lived with Lena and Vincent. 
2 CONT Could it have been brother Nick? Stay tuned genealogy fans. 
2 CONT So what happened to Lena and Nick ... um ... Nix? you may ask. 
2 CONT According to Alice Pratt, they lived out the remainder of their 
2 CONT lives in Nashville. What a song!! 
2 CONT Have any doubts about the Nashville connection? Margaret Dudley 
2 CONT Lanterman says her grandfather Louis Dudley II says he remembers 
2 CONT visiting Nashville with his mother Josephine Guzzi Dudley and his 
2 CONT father Louis Earnest Dudley. 
2 CONT Things that need to be checked to confirm all this: Death record 
2 CONT for Vincent Guzzi. (See mortuary records index from 1900 on.) Just 
2 CONT for starters. 
2 CONT 1900 Census for Galveston, Texas.

1 NOTE BIO:  Of Johan's origins in Germany, very little is known.
2 CONT According to some early family historians, he said he came from Wurt 
2 CONT temberg Province in the Black Forest area near the Rhine and French 
2 CONT border. 
2 CONT However, from other sources we get an idea of what life in Germany 
2 CONT was like in the 1700s. Hard times in the aftermath of the Thirty Yea 
2 CONT rs War, high taxes, vineyard crop failures and conscription of labor 
2 CONT all led to an exodus of young Germans to America. 
2 CONT The route was by boat down the Rhine to Rotterdam, where passage 
2 CONT on English ships could be arranged. So probably    in the cold, early 
2 CONT Spring of 1738, Johan Peter --- whom  his friends called "Peter" 
2 CONT --- gathered clothing, food and bedding and embarked. 
2 CONT He was 24 and had a fair education. The ride down the Rhine was no 
2 CONT pleasure trip. The boat fare covered only transportation and 
2 CONT passengers had to fend for themselves for food and sleeping 
2 CONT arrangements, camping on shore each night. 
2 CONT The Atlantic crossing was hardly any better and many people became 
2 CONT ill and died. 
2 CONT Johan's arrival in Philadelphia is documented by papers still 
2 CONT there. One of these is the pledge of allegiance to the government, 
2 CONT required of all immigrants at that time, in the following words: 
2 CONT "At the courthouse of Philadelphia, September 20, 1738, present 
2 CONT Clement Plumsted, Sam'l Hassel, Thomas Grifith, Andrew Hamilton, 
2 CONT Esqrs: The Palatinates whose names are underwritten imported on the 
2 CONT ships "Nancy" and "Friendship", William Wallace and Henry Beach, 
2 CONT Commanders, from Rotterdam but last from Dover in England, did this 
2 CONT day take and subscribe to the oaths to the government, viz:. ..." 
2 CONT Johan Peter's signature is the sixth of a long list, of which a 
2 CONT facsimile is reproduced here: 
2 CONT [6x4.5]Johan's will and signature. 
2 CONT His signature (last name only) also appears on the "Nancy's" 
2 CONT passenger list. In both cases, the curl mark over the third letter 
2 CONT of the last name is plain and definitely indicates a U, according to 
2 CONT scholars of German script of the era. Thus he signed his name 
2 CONT Lautermann at this time. 
2 CONT One theory is that due to frequent mistaking of the U for an N as 
2 CONT time went by, he eventually adopted Lanterman as the Anglicized 
2 CONT spelling. A few descendants, however, adhered to the Lautermann 
2 CONT spelling. (e.g., his grandson William, #2 in Lantermans In America). 
2 CONT Little is known about Johan's first 20 years in America. He met 
2 CONT and about 1739, married Elizabeth Peterson, whose family is said to 
2 CONT have antedated Johan in America (but another tradition has him 
2 CONT meeting her on board the ship.), and they may have first settled 
2 CONT along Papakating Creek in Wantage Township, Sussex County, N.J. 
2 CONT [5.5x4.25]Blairstown and Knowlton, N.J. 
2 CONT Nothing definite is known about Elizabeth's family, although she 
2 CONT is said to have had a brother, Daniel, who associated with Johan in 
2 CONT operating a grist mill. Johan apparently had no particular 1 RELIgious 
2 CONT affiliations and his wife is credited with influencing him to become 
2 CONT the faithful Presbyterian that he was in later years. 
2 CONT There are conflicting stories about his early occupations, the 
2 CONT most persistent of which is that he engaged in the construction and 
2 CONT operation of water-powered flour mills. But first he had to clear 
2 CONT some land, build a one-room cabin, and plant crops to support his 
2 CONT family. The country was wild and rugged, still inhabited by some 
2 CONT Indians as well as by wolves and panthers, and almost everything 
2 CONT had to be made by hand, with some help from settlers. 
2 CONT Johan apparently moved about, possibly into lower New York state 
2 CONT and eastern Pennsylvania, perhaps building and selling log houses 
2 CONT and mills, then moving on to a new site. The first definite records 
2 CONT begin about 1773 after some of his children had grown up and 
2 CONT married, when he purchased 166 acres of former William Penn 
2 CONT land in what was then called Knowlton, a mile or so south of 
2 CONT present day Blairstown, N.J. 
2 CONT There he established a farm near a settlement known as Union 
2 CONT Brick, where he spent the rest of his life. The name was by 
2 CONT association with Union Brick Church, which Johan and several 
2 CONT of his sons helped build on land donated by Benjamin Luse and 
2 CONT Walter Brown. 
2 CONT [7.25x5.25]From Lanterman's in America. 
2 CONT This building along with the others has long since disappeared, 
2 CONT but the cemetery associated with the church is still maintained in 
2 CONT excellent condition and well worth a visit. 
2 CONT Another church in whose cemetery Lantermans were buried was the 
2 CONT Yellow Frame Church. This was located in upper or northern 
2 CONT Hardwicke Township, a few miles northeast of Blairstown. All 
2 CONT traces of it and its cemetery are now gone. 
2 CONT Johan is reputed to have supplied grain and other provisions to 
2 CONT Washinton's army during the Revolutionary War, and at least two of 
2 CONT his sons served in the army. He became a U.S. citizen through 
2 CONT naturalization in 1768, by act of the N.J. legislature. 
2 CONT [2.5x3.5]Shannon Lanterman salutes him on July 3, 1986. 
2 CONT Johan and Elizabeth had six sons and six daughters who grew up and 
2 CONT married. The older ones moved away. Peter, the third son, went west 
2 CONT to Penn., thence to Fleming, Kentucky, about 1818 moved to Spring 
2 CONT Creek, Ill., about six miles west of the center of present day 
2 CONT Springfield. 
2 CONT Some of the history of this branch is recorded in a Lanterman-Robb 
2 CONT book, which, unfortunately, contains several errors -- one which 
2 CONT places Peter's birthplace in Germany --- but Johan's will specifically 
2 CONT mentions this son, Peter. 
2 CONT Jacob, the seventh child, inherited his father's farm and was an 
2 CONT executor of his estate. Abraham, the 10th child, acquired a nearby 
2 CONT farm and is said to have operated a hotel in Union Brick.

1 NOTE BIO:Is this the Mike Mongan, who was holding Tobias' hand as
2 CONT he lay dying in March of 1896? 
2 CONT Or is this another relative and Michael Mongan, father 
2 CONT of Tom W. Mongan, Sr., Pat, James, Michael, Jr. et al, 
2 CONT the brother? 
2 CONT Here are some facts to consider and keep in mind until I get 
2 CONT definite proof. But until then I will operate under the assumption 
2 CONT that this Mike Mongan is another relative and Michael Mongan is 
2 CONT the brother of Tobias. 
2 CONT 1. Mike Mongan (#295) is living at 4418 Ave K with his wife 
2 CONT Kate, age 50 in 1900, son John, age 23, and his wife 
2 CONT Luantha (Buck) Mongan, age 22. Except for Luantha, 
2 CONT all were born in Ireland and immigrated to the U.S. in 
2 CONT 1881, this according to the 1900 census. 
2 CONT (So it seems this John is not the John of Tobias and now 
2 CONT it appears there were two John Mongans who died in the 
2 CONT 1900 Storm. The GDN for Oct. 7, 1900 show the Mongans 
2 CONT at 4418 K died. I have yet to confirm, the Mongan family 
2 CONT bible which shows Johnnie Mongan, as he was called, died 
2 CONT also in the 1900 Storm.) 
2 CONT 2. Michael Mongan (#405) lived much of his time at 43rd and Winnie. 
2 CONT And in one of his census reports he claims to have been born in Aug. 
2 CONT 1839, a birthdate, that, while it contradicts the age given in his 
2 CONT obituary, is much closer to that of Tobias. 
2 CONT 3. There are only three other Mongan's listed in the City Directory 
2 CONT for 1882-83, besides Tobias Mongan, Pat, Martin and Mike. While 
2 CONT Pat and Martin are listed living with a John May, Mike is living 
2 CONT with Tobias. 
2 CONT Pat I discovered in other probate records is the brother of Martin 
2 CONT and the "cousin" of Thomas W. Mongan, who lives at 3621 Postoffice 
2 CONT at the time of Pat's death. The funeral, according to Pat's obit, 
2 CONT was held at 3621. 
2 CONT 4.According to probate documents for Mike #295, shortly after the 
2 CONT 1900 Storm, Tobias' son, Thomas W. Mongan, pays a $1,000 bond 
2 CONT to be temporary administrator for the estate of Mike Mongan. 
2 CONT The inventory of Mike Mongan's estate includes the west half of 
2 CONT lot 11 and the east half of lot 12 in block 164, worth $350 and 
2 CONT a bridge warrant worth $50. This property would be on Ave. K. 
2 CONT TW applied in October of 1900 for the temporary status and was 
2 CONT granted it on Nov. 21, 1900. 
2 CONT But for some reason TW 1 1 RELInquished his temporary status to Pat 
2 CONT Mongan on September 21, 1901. By October 25, 1901, Pat had 
2 CONT filed for temporary status by paying a $1,000 bond. 
2 CONT Later after Pat dies, his will is probated and as part of his 
2 CONT inventory he leaves his "cousin" Thomas W. Mongan, the same 
2 CONT property he received from TW in 1901. Pat also left his 
2 CONT brother Martin $5. 
2 CONT But from Pat's obituary, it appears Martin has died as it says 
2 CONT he has no other living relatives, besides Thomas W. Mongan. 
2 CONT 5. All this is a long way of saying Michael Mongan and Mike Mongan 
2 CONT were clearly two different people, one dying in 1912 and the other 
2 CONT in the 1900 Storm, and that Tobias'son temporarily took possesion 
2 CONT of Mike's property, handing it off to a cousin, whom Thomas later 
2 CONT buried and that though Tom W. Mongan, Sr.'s obituary says he arrived 
2 CONT in Galveston about 1879, that must be wrong because there is no 
2 CONT listing for Michael Mongan in 1882, other than the one living with 
2 CONT Tobias. 
2 CONT Some reasons Micheal #405 is Tobias' brother: 
2 CONT A. 
2 CONT Michael Mongan's obit says he was born in Roscommon and he named his 
2 CONT first-born son Thomas William Mongan. As I have documented elsewhere 
2 CONT Thomas Mongan and Mary Jennings are the father of Tobias. 
2 CONT It could have been common for Michael to name his son after his dad 
2 CONT just as Tobias did. Right? 
2 CONT No way to counter that --- other than I never found a Michael Mongan 
2 CONT baptised in 1853 or 54, the year Michael would have been born 
2 CONT according to his obit in 1912. 
2 CONT But then again, Michael's census data for 1900 says he was born in 
2 CONT Aug. 1839 and unfortunately the LDS Family History Center doesn't 
2 CONT have baptismal records for Kiltullagh parish on microfilm that 
2 CONT far back. The LDS's archives only begin in Sept. 1839. 
2 CONT B. 
2 CONT Michael Mongan's obit lists as surviving him three nieces and a 
2 CONT nephew. Mollie, Bridget, Jennie and Thomas would fit that bill. 
2 CONT But so too would the offspring of his wife's siblings, living in 
2 CONT Galveston, if in fact they did, or back in Ireland. 
2 CONT So, it appears despite the close relationship Tobias' son had 
2 CONT with Mike #295 regarding his will, Michael #405's birthdate and 
2 CONT close relationship he and Tobias had regarding the sponsoring of 
2 CONT each other's children into the Catholic Church seem to make Michael 
2 CONT #405 the prime candidate as Tobias' brother.

1 NOTE WENZEL --- At 9 p.m. Feb. 10, Mrs. Margaret Wenzel, age 81, widow of the 
2 CONT late Lewis (sic) Wenzel. She came to Galveston in the year 1851. She 
2 CONT leaves to mourn her loss a daughter, Mrs. H.S. Birkmeyer, Sr.; one 
2 CONT sister, Mrs. R. (Rudolph) Bullacher and a brother D. Hermann Sr.; seven 
2 CONT grandchildren, 
2 CONT and three great-grandchildren. Funeral Monday at 4 o'clock at the home of 
2 CONT her daughter Mrs. H.S. Birkmeyer, Sr., 1101 37th St. Interment in Calvary 
2 CONT 1 CEMEtery. Father John S. Murphy officiating. San Antonio and Houston 
2 CONT newspapers please copy.
1 NOTE In her will probated on May 24, 1924, Margaret Hermann Wenzel left to her 
2 CONT daughter Mary Birkmeyer everything on 37th street except to Margaret, the 
2 CONT wife of her dead son, Louis, 1111 37th and to her grandson Louis, son of 
2 CONT her dead son, Louis, 1111 1/2 37th.
1 NOTE (What happened to her son Andrew???)
1 NOTE Margaret A. Wenzel also appears in the 1910 Census. She gives her age as 
2 CONT 65, is a widow and said she immigrated to the U.S. in 1855.
1 NOTE The address is 1103 37th Street. Others living with her included Adeila 
2 CONT F. Garner, 25, a widow, born in Louisiana of German parents, Adeila's 
2 CONT 3-year-old daughter Maora, whose father was born in Tennesse, and a 
2 CONT Margaret T. Wall, Adeila's sister, age 20, born in Texas of German 
2 CONT parents.
1 NOTE Her name appears in Baptismal Record of St. Joseph Catholic Church, 
2 CONT 1860-1900, and in a Galveston City Directory for 1882-83. In the 
2 CONT Baptismal record she is cited as the mother of Mary Louise Wenzel, Andrew 
2 CONT Henry Wenzel and Louis Davidson Wenzel. Though the city directory doesn't 
2 CONT indicate, she is apparently a widow by then since she is listed as the 
2 CONT head of the house at west side of 37th street between avenues K and L. 
1 NOTE Mary Margaret Mongan Lanterman also says she remembers meeting 
2 CONT many Hermanns as a young girl. 
1 NOTE                                                  SOURCES
1 NOTE 1870 Census, Galveston, 4th Ward, ED 287, p. 6, lines 8-14. 
2 CONT The record shows a 25-year-old Margaret living with 
2 CONT her father and mother, husband Louis Wenzel, 27, daughter 
2 CONT Mary (Wenzel) Birkmeyer, 1, and brothers David, 14, and 
2 CONT John 5. 
1 NOTE The census also shows that she and husband were both 
2 CONT born in Germany, she in Prussia and he in Saxony. 
1 NOTE The writing is not too clear on the Census. So it is 
2 CONT not certain what her father's name is. But it appears to be 
2 CONT either Martin, Mathias or Matthew.

1 NOTE                                            Louis Wenzel's Story
1 NOTE The story on Louis is that he was a hardware store owner who used to deal 
2 CONT with the Indians on Galveston Island. The Indians, incidently, he let 
2 CONT live in an attic space over his home or store. This story comes from 
2 CONT Clementine Clare Birkmeyer, his granddaughter, to her grandson Kenneth 
2 CONT Gene Lanterman. 
1 NOTE There is also a story, though not yet confirmed (3-20-1993) that he shot 
2 CONT himself to death.
1 NOTE As for when he died, I'm still not sure but it must be some time after 
2 CONT 1878, since he is listed in the 1878-79 Galveston City Directory as a 
2 CONT grocer living at 37th and K. It also had to occur after he conceived 
2 CONT Andrew Wenzel in late 1873 (Andrew was born May, 1874.
1 NOTE That means his death came between late 1873 and 1878.
1 NOTE Determining when Louis arrived in Galveston is just as difficult.
1 NOTE The earliest availble city directory 1859-60 shows his in-laws already 
2 CONT here, but not him. The first time he appears in available city 
2 CONT directories is 1867, where he is listed as living at No. 68 and 70, 20th 
2 CONT Street opposite the market. The same information his reported in the 1878 
2 CONT directory.
1 NOTE We know he is already in Galveston by 1869 because that is when his 
2 CONT daughter Mary is born. So it appears Louis arrived sometime between 1860 
2 CONT and 1867.
1 NOTE But I'm still not certain when he arrived in the U.S. from Germany. 
1 NOTE It could be the mid-1850s along with two families of Wenzels that came 
2 CONT through Galveston and settled in the New Braunfels, Comal County area.
1 NOTE According to a ship's manifest for the Minna, a ---- Wenzel, wife and 
2 CONT son, arrived in Galveston, Texas, on Nov. 3, 1854. They were from 
2 CONT Ruckersdorf. It doesn't say the port of departure. 
1 NOTE And the manifest for the Hampden shows the family of F.A. Wenzel, which 
2 CONT included 10 people ranging in age from 8 to 56, arrived in Galveston 
2 CONT on April 1, 1854.
1 NOTE The family was from Lichtenhagen, Prussia. Later in the census records 
2 CONT for 1860, they say they are from Saxony.
1 NOTE (The source for both immigrant information is New Homes in A New Land: 
2 CONT German Immigration to Texas, 1847-1861 by Ethel Hander Geue. The book can 
2 CONT be found in the Rosenberg Library in Galveston and the Clayton Library in 
2 CONT Houston.)
1 NOTE It could be that Louis Wenzel arrived in the U.S. long before these two 
2 CONT families. According to a History of Comal County, an 1850 Census lists 
2 CONT yet another Wenzel family from Bavaria, headed by a Margarethe Wenzel. 
2 CONT When and where she arrived, I don't know.
1 NOTE It's pretty clear that Louis moved to Galveston alone as a man in his 20s.
1 NOTE Assuming he was about 11 when he came Texas (this based on the arrival 
2 CONT dates of the two Wenzel families), or was 6 or 7 (if he came from the 
2 CONT Margarethe Wenzel family)  he would have been 21 or 25 by the mid-60s 
2 CONT when he arrived in Galveston.
1 NOTE Nevertheless, I still haven't been able to locate him in Texas or 
2 CONT anywhere before 1867. One thing's for certain, he wasn't in Comal County 
2 CONT in 1860, as its census lists three Wenzel families, one headed by F.A., 
2 CONT another by Margarethe and a third headed by her son Ignaz.
1 NOTE The Census Index for Texas, 1860, lists only the Wenzels Comal County. 
2 CONT However, in the 1870 index it does list a Julius Wenzel in Marion County, 
2 CONT p. 441,  3.W. Jefferson. But as we know, by then Louis is married and 
2 CONT living in Galveston. The question now is where did Julius come from.
1 NOTE There is also no record of any, any Wenzels in Louisiana for 1860 and 
2 CONT 1870.
1 NOTE So what does all this mean, we know Louis is in Galveston in 1867, was 
2 CONT born about 24 years earlier in Saxony and died sometime between 1873 and 
2 CONT 1878 in Galveston. He may have arrived with the F.A. Wenzel's in 1854 at 
2 CONT the age of 11 but somehow moved out of that house by the time of the 1860 
2 CONT Census at the age of 17. Or he may have arrived long before in the late 
2 CONT 1840s at the age of 6 or 7 but moved out of state with a relative by 1850 
2 CONT (he's not in the Comal census, nor are there any other Wenzels in the 
2 CONT state index at that time.).
1 NOTE Or he could have arrived in 1854 from Ruckersdorf with "---- Wenzel, wife 
2 CONT and son" and moved out of state during the 1860 Census with his family 
2 CONT only to return as an adult in 1867.
1 NOTE Much is left to be investigated. Some possibilities: Census records for 
2 CONT Ruckersdorf, Germany, and Lichtenhagen, Prussia, prior to 1854; other 
2 CONT state indexes for Wenzels for 1860 and 1850. A marriage record to 
2 CONT Margaret Hermann or his death record may also identify his father.

1 NOTE BIO:As the last surviving member of the Mongan-Smith clan who
2 CONT emmigrated from the Diocese of Tuam in the Roscommon/Mayo 
2 CONT county border area, John Smith holds a special place in 
2 CONT the family tree. 
2 CONT Not only was he close to his sister, Mary (Smith) Mongan, 
2 CONT but he apparently was close to the Carroll family, which 
2 CONT married into the Mongan family in the second American 
2 CONT generation via Margaret Carroll and Thomas William Mongan. 
2 CONT According to the 1900 census, John and his young family 
2 CONT lived next door to John Carroll, Margaret's mother. 
2 CONT The 1910 census, taken April 20 of that year, shows he 
2 CONT immigrated to the U.S. in 1874. (His sister's response to 
2 CONT the same question in 1900 --- she didn't answer that question 
2 CONT 1910 --- says she immigrated to the U.S. in 1864.) 
2 CONT He became a Galveston police officer and remained one 
2 CONT until retiring 14 years before his death on Sept. 25, 
2 CONT 1932, according to his obituary in the September 27th 
2 CONT edition of the Galveston Daily News. 
2 CONT During his early years in Galveston, he apparently 
2 CONT went about buying property with the same ambition 
2 CONT as his brother-in-law, Tobias, buying the northeast quarter 
2 CONT of Block 456 (on the corner of Post Office and 36th Street) 
2 CONT for $1,408 on April 29, 1881, the same day Tobias bought 
2 CONT the northwest quarter for the same amount. 
2 CONT On Feb. 13, 1889, John Smith bought the northeast quarter of 
2 CONT Block 224 (45th and I) for $660 six years after Tobias 
2 CONT bought his property in the the southeast quarter. As far 
2 CONT as I can tell, John Smith never built there. Though I'm 
2 CONT certain he never lived there, as he lived at 3601 Post Office 
2 CONT all of his married life until death. 
2 CONT He married his wife Margaret in 1890, according to the 1900 
2 CONT Census. 
2 CONT In the same census she says she was born in June 1858 in 
2 CONT Illinois. John says he was born in June 1843. 
2 CONT A marriage record found in the County Clerk's office 
2 CONT in Galveston shows an application for a marriage 
2 CONT certificate filed on July 11, 1890 for Maggie Halperin 
2 CONT and a John Smith. This very likely could be his wife. 
2 CONT I will assume it is unless otherwise proved wrong. 
2 CONT Then for the next 41 years they lived at 3601 Post 
2 CONT Office and raised Mary R. Smith, born in 1892, John Jr., 
2 CONT born in 1893 (he later was killed mistakenly as a burglar 
2 CONT in 1909), Vincent A. Smith, born in 1895, and Edward J. 
2 CONT Smith, born in 1897. 
2 CONT According to records kept at Malloy and Son Funeral Home 
2 CONT in Galveston, John Smith died from cystitis and general 
2 CONT urinary tract sceptis. 
2 CONT According to the obituary, he was survived by his wife and 
2 CONT all his children except John Jr. Among the pallbearers at 
2 CONT his funeral were Tobias Thomas Mongan and his brother 
2 CONT Bernard, both sons of Thomas William Mongan, nephew of 
2 CONT John Smith. 
2 CONT W.C. Smith, Emmit Smith, and James Smith were also reported 
2 CONT as pall bearers. 
2 CONT About W.C. Smith: He apparently (as of my research on Aug. 14, 
2 CONT 1993) is the son of Michael Smith and husband of Mary Mongan, 
2 CONT the daughter of a Michael Mongan (father of a slew of kids, 
2 CONT including another Thomas William Mongan). W.C. Smith was 
2 CONT listed as informant at the death of a Michael Smith on 
2 CONT Jan. 1, 1922, and for a dead 48-year-old Thomas William 
2 CONT Mongan (Mike's son) in 1919. 
2 CONT What this means is Michael Smith who died at 73 in the 
2 CONT New Year's Day 1922 fire could very well be John Smith and 
2 CONT therefore Mary Agnes (Smith) Mongan's brother. 
2 CONT Thomas Mongan and Margaret (Carroll) Mongan were also 
2 CONT called in to testify as to John Smith's handwritting 
2 CONT in his will which was written March 24, 1909. 
2 CONT The reason Thomas and Margaret were called in to testify 
2 CONT was John's two witnesses to the will had died. It was more 
2 CONT a formality than anything else, but it showed how tight- 
2 CONT knit the clan remained. 
2 CONT (Info on the will comes from Probate Book 97, pages 306 
2 CONT and following.) 
2 CONT As might be expected, John's wife Margaret was awarded 
2 CONT all his property on Aug. 2, 1933. 
2 CONT OTHER BITS AND PIECES ON JOHN SMITH'S LIFE 
2 CONT Michael Smith, the guy who may be related and the 
2 CONT one who burned to death New Year's Eve, came to America 
2 CONT in 1870, according to his answers to the 1910 Census. 
2 CONT (Yet another Michael Smith, bearing the middle initial "H", 
2 CONT was renting 3627 P.O. from Mary (Smith) Mongan in 1910. He 
2 CONT claims in that same census he was born in N.Y. in 1856. But 
2 CONT it seems unlikely this Irish Mike Smith is there brother. Maybe 
2 CONT he's a cousin.) 
2 CONT That same 1910 Census shows that John Smith was 61 years old, 
2 CONT meaning he was born in 1949, which doesn't jibe with the age 
2 CONT he gave for the 1900 Census, where he said he was 56, and born 
2 CONT in June 1843. 
2 CONT As his death record at Malloy and Son claims he was 89 at the 
2 CONT time of his death on Sept. 27, 1932, making his birth in 1843, 
2 CONT I'm inclind to go with his age given in the 1900 census. 
2 CONT John Smith's name appears in an obituary for Mary Mongan, 
2 CONT the wife of Tobias Mongan, and mother of Thomas William 
2 CONT Mongan, on Sept. 6, 1917 in the Galveston Daily News. 
2 CONT He is listed as her brother. 
2 CONT He is also listed in the Galveston city directories for 
2 CONT 1882-83, in which he is a border  of Tobias Mangan (misspelled), 
2 CONT and 1884-85. In the 1896-97 directory his address is 
2 CONT 3601 Post Office and he's identified as a "special policeman." 
2 CONT The 1909-1910 directory says the same and by 1919 he is listed 
2 CONT with a  wife, Marguerite. 
2 CONT Tobias Thomas Mongan, II, remembers his father TTM I, speaking 
2 CONT about John Smith. One story they told was that during a storm at 
2 CONT 1900 or 15, the home on Post Office Street was up to the second 
2 CONT floor with water. 
2 CONT Outside a woman was clinging to a pole of some sort screaming for 
2 CONT help. John who was a  distance swimmer dove  under the transom of the 
2 CONT house and out to the stranded woman. 
2 CONT The story goes that when he got to her she offered him a drink and 
2 CONT reached down her stocking to pull out a bottle of whiskey. 
2 CONT He didn't drink. Yet he pulled the woman to safety inside the Mongan 
2 CONT home on Post Office. 
2 CONT Smiths also appear in other family lore. Maysie Smith and Gerald 
2 CONT Smith, who was also a Galveston cop. Toby and Mary Margaret both 
2 CONT say they were relatives of some kind. 
2 CONT Michael Smith is identifed as his brother in an obit for 
2 CONT John Smith's sister Mary (Smith) Mongan in The Houston Post, 
2 CONT as well. 
2 CONT TRAGEDY STRIKES AGAIN 
2 CONT John Smith's name also appears in an unfortunate story in the 
2 CONT Galveston Daily News of Aug. 24, 1909. The story reports the 
2 CONT death of his son John Smith, Jr. who was shot by a man named 
2 CONT Carl Bozinsky, who thought the younger Smith was burglar. 
2 CONT John Smith, the elder didn't press charges, and junior died from 
2 CONT the wound received a week earlier after "alighting from a street 
2 CONT car at the corner of Thirty-sixth and Winnie streets."

1 NOTE BIO:A Michael Smith is identified in The Houston Post Obituary for
2 CONT Mary Agnes (Smith) Mongan, as a surviving brother. (See 
2 CONT Mary Agnes Smith for details). 
2 CONT Though there are several Michael Smiths in 1880s Galveston, the one 
2 CONT I belive is Mary Smith's brother is the Michael Smith who 
2 CONT burned to death New Year's Day morning 1922. The reason? 
2 CONT The age given at the time of his death is 73, meaning he 
2 CONT was born in 1849, and an 1880 Census for Galveston, 
2 CONT which shows a 31-year-old Michael Smith living next door to 
2 CONT Tobias Mongan and Mary (Smith) Mongan on 37th Street. 
2 CONT Another connection with this burned-to-death Michael Smith 
2 CONT is found in his death record with the Galveston County 
2 CONT Health Department. There it shows that the informant was a 
2 CONT W.C. Smith. A W.C. Smith is also a pallbearer in the funeral 
2 CONT of John Smith, confirmed brother of Mary Agnes (Smith) Mongan, 
2 CONT along with my grandfather Tobias Thomas Mongan and his brother 
2 CONT Bernard J. Mongan, Sr. 
2 CONT Could this W.C. Smith be the same W.C. Smith who attended 
2 CONT John Smith's funeral? Could be, as a W.C. Smith married a 
2 CONT Mary Mongan, daughter of Michael Mongan. 
2 CONT So what does the record say about Michael Smith who burned in the 
2 CONT fire? 
2 CONT Well according to his death record --- no obituary exists --- he 
2 CONT was born in Ireland in 1849, immigrated to the U.S. 45 years 
2 CONT earlier and came to Galveston five years later in about 1882. 
2 CONT His body was handled by Levy Bros. Funeral Home (all records 
2 CONT prior to 1971 were destroyed in a fire) and he was buried in 
2 CONT Calvary Cemetery. Turns out he was buried with Micheal Mongan, #405, 
2 CONT and his son, W.C. Smith. 
2 CONT The only other information on this chap appears in a Page One 
2 CONT story in the Galveston Daily News, Jan. 2, 1922. I reprint 
2 CONT it here in its entirety: 
2 CONT Headline: Three Violent Deaths Is Toll in Galveston First 
2 CONT Day of New Year ---- Two Men Die In New Year's Fire (another 
2 CONT story about "negro" being held in the death of a Norwegian 
2 CONT carpenter accompanied this story): 
2 CONT Deck Head: One of Spectators Discovers Body of Father in Ruins 
2 CONT of House. 
2 CONT Two bodies identified as thos of Michael Smith, 73 years old, and 
2 CONT William Mootrie, 40 years old, were found burned almost beyond 
2 CONT recognition yesterday morning about 4:30 o'clock in the ruins 
2 CONT left by a fire at  612 Forty-second Street. The search party was 
2 CONT headed by Assistant Fire Chief Roach. 
2 CONT The fire department answered the alarm of fire shortly after 
2 CONT 4 o'clock and found the small frame structure enveloped in flames 
2 CONT when they arrived. A negro, who lived in the vicinity and who turned 
2 CONT in the alarm, told the firemen that he  had knocked at the door 
2 CONT of the house before the alarm had been turned in, but that no 
2 CONT answer had been received. 
2 CONT As the firemen played streams of water upon the structure, 
2 CONT concerting their efforts to protect another small building next 
2 CONT door, no intimation was had that the burning building was 
2 CONT occupied. The building was a total loss and the search party that 
2 CONT went inside is the regular search party that is sent as a matter 
2 CONT of course into the ruins of any fire. A cry of surprise went up 
2 CONT as the bodies were found. Several onlookers who were on the 
2 CONT outside, among them being Patrick Smith, a switchman for the 
2 CONT Galveston, Houston & Henderson Railroad, went into the building. 
2 CONT As the lantern was turned on one of the men, Smith cried out, 
2 CONT "My God, that is my father." Patrick Smith is Michael Smith's 
2 CONT son. 
2 CONT Justice of the Peace Alex Gomez held an inquest and gave a verdict 
2 CONT of death due to accidental burning. The bodies were turned over 
2 CONT to Levy & Bro. undertakers. Neither of the victims lived at the 
2 CONT locality. Justice of the Peace Gomez stated the building 
2 CONT belonging to a local corporation and being rented by Steve 
2 CONT Maldovan, who is reported as being in San Antonio. 
2 CONT The origin of the fire was unknown. 
2 CONT Funeral services for Michael Smith were held yesterday afternoon 
2 CONT at 4 o'clock at the chapel of J.Levy & Bro. undertakers, thence 
2 CONT to St. Patrick's Catholic Church. Interment was in Calvary 
2 CONT Cemetery. Rev. John S. Murphy officiated. Decedent is survived 
2 CONT by several sons and daughters of this city. Funeral services for 
2 CONT William Mootrie will be held this morning at 10 o'clock at the 
2 CONT J. Levy Bro. undertakers chapel. 
2 CONT So now we have a Pat Smith and W.C. Smith tied to this particular 
2 CONT Michael Smith. 
2 CONT There is another Michael Smith who pops up in the 1900 census & 
2 CONT city directories. His name is spelled, however, Mikel H. Smith 
2 CONT and in the 1900 Census he is listed as boarding at 37th and 
2 CONT Post Office, No. 619. That would place him a block south of 
2 CONT Mary Agnes (Smith) Mongan on 37th Street. 
2 CONT That census has him living alone, age 45, born August 1854. 
2 CONT In the 1910 Census, taken on the 20th of April, there's a 
2 CONT Michael H. Smith, age 54, single, born of Irish parents in 
2 CONT New York, lodging at 3627 Post Office, a Mongan rental property. 
2 CONT Who is he? 
2 CONT Also found in the 1910 Census: a Michael Smith, age 63, and a 
2 CONT John D. McHale, 48, both single, living at 4202 Ave. G. (Winnie). 
2 CONT This Michael Smith, obviously not to be confused with the one 
2 CONT living at the same time on Post Office, has to be the one 
2 CONT mentioned in the 1900 census, father of many children and 
2 CONT husband of Ann (McHale?) Smith. This MS also says he arrived, 
2 CONT as did the one in the 1900 census, in the United States in 1870. 
2 CONT The single Michael (Mikel) H. Smith in the 1900 and 1910 census 
2 CONT disappears in the 1920 Census. But there is a Michael Smith, age 
2 CONT 70, who's living with his son-in-law John Murphy on Bay Street in 
2 CONT 1920. (Vol. 69, ED 61, Sheet 6, Line 34.) John Murphy's wife at 
2 CONT the time is Sarah (Smith) Murphy, 28, which would make her the 
2 CONT right age to be the Sarah Smith in the 1900 Census, age 8, living 
2 CONT with Michael Smith, then age 48, claiming to be born in 1851. 
2 CONT The Houston Post, Sept. 5, 1917, obit for Mary Mongan mentions
2 CONT a Michael Smith as a surviving brother. 
2 CONT 1880 Census Vol 13, ED 67, for the 31-year-old M. Smith 
2 CONT Living next door to Mary (Smith) Mongan and Tobias Mongan.

2 CONT upstairs room of a home built by Tobias and Mary (Smith) Mongan 
2 CONT at the turn of the century at 4408 Broadway. 
2 CONT Born in New Orleans in 1848, she spent the last days of her 
2 CONT 91 years with her daughter Margaret (Carroll) Mongan and 
2 CONT son-in-law Thomas William Mongan. 
2 CONT Few are alive today who remember Mary Ann (Gavin) Carroll. And the 
2 CONT one who is has only the memories of a somewhat curious little 
2 CONT girl of 10. 
2 CONT Mary Margaret (Mongan) Lanterman remembers that on the summer days 
2 CONT she and her brother Toby and sister Clementine would spend at the 
2 CONT home Mary Gavin spent all of her time quietly rocking upstairs 
2 CONT at the well-to-do home on Broadway. 
2 CONT While playing outside next to the vacant lot with grass grown 
2 CONT tall and beneath the plum and fig trees, she would occasionally 
2 CONT look up and see Mary Gavin watching the them play. She also 
2 CONT remembers with the mind of a 10 year old and in the odd way that 
2 CONT those sort of things stick with you the old whithered hand of 
2 CONT Mary Gavin curled around the arm of rocker. 
2 CONT About her family, I know little, except that in the 1880 Census 
2 CONT for Galveston, her mother was living with her and before that 
2 CONT her mother lived as a widow in New Orleans. See Sarah Killalay 
2 CONT for details. 
2 CONT But according to Tobias T. Mongan II, family lore has it that a 
2 CONT member of the Gavin family fought in the Battle of New Orleans 
2 CONT in the War of 1812. This has not been confirmed.

1 NOTE BIO:Family myth has it that the brother of John J. Carroll's
2 CONT father signed the Declaration of Independence and that 
2 CONT the Carroll family is from Virginia. 
2 CONT A quick figuring of the math and you can see the connection 
2 CONT with the famous Carroll who did sign the declaration is 
2 CONT impossible. Further debunking of the myth is found in 
2 CONT John Joseph Carroll's obituary, where it says he was 
2 CONT born in Kilkeny, Ireland in 1850. 
2 CONT The obituary, which can be found in the Oct. 10, 1926 
2 CONT edition of the Galveston Daily News under the heading 
2 CONT Mortuary Reports and the headline "JOHN CARROLL, 
2 CONT VETERAN CITY EMPLOYEE, DIES" reads as follows: 
2 CONT John Joseph Carroll, 76 years old, died last night at 
2 CONT 8:40 oclock (sic) at his residence, 1213 Twenty-ninth 
2 CONT street. Mr. Carroll had been in the employ of the 
2 CONT city of Galveston for the past thirty years, being 
2 CONT with the plumbing department. He was born in 
2 CONT Kilkeny, Ireland in 1850, but has resided in Galveston 
2 CONT since 1879. 
2 CONT He was a member of the Karankaway Tribe No. 15 Order of 
2 CONT Red Men, and of the Plumbers Union No. 200. He is survived 
2 CONT by his wife; two daughters, Mrs. T.W. Mongan and Mrs. George 
2 CONT Marchand of Galveston; two sons, R.J. Carroll of Galveston 
2 CONT and V.J. Carroll of Dallas, seven grandchildren and one 
2 CONT great-grandchild. 
2 CONT Funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at 9 oclock (sic) 
2 CONT from the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Marchand, 3725 Avenue 
2 CONT N, thence to St. Patrick's Church, with the Rev. John S. Murphy 
2 CONT officiating. Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery. 
2 CONT The death record indicates that his father was Richard Carroll 
2 CONT and that his mother's name was unknown. Supplying the 
2 CONT information to the death report, found in the Texas Room 
2 CONT at the Rosenberg Library (book No. 6 1918-1926) was his 
2 CONT son-in-law Thomas Mongan. 
2 CONT The report also indicates he had lived in Galveston for 47 
2 CONT years. That jibes with the death report. 
2 CONT A contemporary of Tobias Mongan and John Smith, John J. Carroll 
2 CONT was another of the Irish clan to settle on the corner, or the 
2 CONT block bounded by, 37th and Post Office. 
2 CONT In fact, the 1880 Census for the City of Galveston, shows 
2 CONT John J. Carroll, 30, his wife, Mary (Gavin) Carroll, 28, son 
2 CONT Richard, 6, and daughters Sarah, 4, Maggie, 2, (later Mrs. 
2 CONT TW Mongan), and Mary, 6 months, all lived on 37th in the 
2 CONT portion of that block bought by John Smith in 1881. 
2 CONT All but daughter Mary and her father were born in New Orleans. Mary 
2 CONT was born in Galveston, while her father as noted above was born 
2 CONT in Kilkenny, Ireland. 
2 CONT As for when John Carroll arrived in the U.S., the record, as 
2 CONT much of it I have seen, is unclear. The 1900 Census for example 
2 CONT says that he had been in America 47 years at the time the census 
2 CONT was taken, meaning he would have arrived at the age of 3. 
2 CONT However, the 1910 Census says he immigrated in 1871. Which makes more 
2 CONT sense? I think the 1900 Census. Reason? Mary Margaret Mongan, his 
2 CONT great granddaugther says family lore was that the Carrolls 
2 CONT came from Virginia to New Orleans, then Monroe, Louisiana, Beaumont 
2 CONT and then Galveston. 
2 CONT So I will operate, for the time being, under the theory that he 
2 CONT came to America in 1853 --- until proved otherwise. 
2 CONT The approximate birthdates for members of the John J. Carroll
2 CONT family are taken from the 1880 Soundex for the U.S. Census 
2 CONT of Texas. 
2 CONT The actual census citation for the family is Vol. 13, Ed 67 
2 CONT Sheet 19, line 33 of the 1880 Census. 
2 CONT Death dates for members of the Carroll family come from Death 
2 CONT Records on File in Austin, Texas. Film of the records is in the 
2 CONT Clayton Library in Houston. 
2 CONT The census mentions that the Carrolls, including Sarah (Killalea) 
2 CONT Gavin and her two sons, were living with them at the time on 
2 CONT Post Office Street. 
2 CONT The death record for Sarah Carroll also shows that she was living 
2 CONT on 36th and Post Office at the time of her death. 
2 CONT Final interesting note on from the Census record of 1880: Both 
2 CONT John J. Carroll and his mother in law indicate that they were 
2 CONT born in Ireland. 
2 CONT The 1900 Soundex Census for Texas shows John J. and Mary Carroll 
2 CONT had a few more kids since the 1880 Census: Mikel, Bernard and Katie. 
2 CONT It is also the 1900 Census that gives the month of their birth. 
2 CONT And it also shows that the Carrolls lived at 3607 Post Office. 
2 CONT It's interesting to note that the Mongans lived at 3627 Post Office, 
2 CONT so it appears Thomas Mongan and Margaret Carroll grew up a few 
2 CONT homes apart.

1 NOTE BIO:Though her obituary doesn't say it, Mary Agnes Smith is the
2 CONT Maysie Smith Mary Margaret Mongan and Tobias Mongan II speak 
2 CONT of when trying to recall old friends of the family. 
2 CONT Also, though I have no concrete proof --- baptism record, 
2 CONT birth certificate --- to prove she is the daughter of 
2 CONT John Smith, brother of Tobe Mongan's wife, Mary Agnes Smith, 
2 CONT all evidence points to the Mary A. Smith in several census 
2 CONT of the John Smith home. 
2 CONT Other correlations are: The birthdate. I originally figured 
2 CONT from an age given in the 1900 census that she was born in 1891, 
2 CONT the obituary, however, shows she was born in June 1892. The 
2 CONT name. I can see how she was named for her aunt Mary Agnes Smith, 
2 CONT which would make her John Smith or Michael Smith's daughter. 
2 CONT Since Michael didn't have a Mary --- as far as I know --- this 
2 CONT Mary Agnes Smith, idenitified in her 1986 obituary must be Maysie. 
2 CONT From her obituary in the Galveston Daily News, July 21, 1984, p. 4: 
2 CONT Mary Smith 
2 CONT GALVESTON --- Mary Agnes Smith, 95, died Sunday, July 20, at St. 
2 CONT Mary's Hospital. Service will be at 9 a.m. Wednesday at Malloy 
2 CONT and Son Funeral Home, the Rev. Tim Bucek officiating. Burial will 
2 CONT follow in Calvary Cemetery in Galveston. 
2 CONT Ms. Smith was born June 8, 1891 in Galveston. She was employed 
2 CONT at American Indemnity Insurance for many years. She was a member 
2 CONT of St. Patrick's Catholic Church. 
2 CONT Survivors include two cousins, Thomasine O'Conner and Eldrige 
2 CONT (note mispelling) Clarke. 
2 CONT Visitors may call at the funeral home after 8 a.m. Wednesday. 
2 CONT Mary Margaret Mongan's recollections of Maysie Smith are few. 
2 CONT She says she remembers her living in a big home on Ave. M by 
2 CONT herself and occasionally careing for an elderly man from time 
2 CONT to time. She was tall, big-boned and redheaded. MMM said she 
2 CONT always wondered how she could afford such a big home. The answer 
2 CONT could be she worked and inherited it. 
2 CONT MMM also recalls that Thomasine and Aelred stayed with Maysie 
2 CONT during the funeral of MMM's dad Tobias Thomas Mongan. 
2 CONT Death Record, Malloy And Sons, Book for 1986.
2 CONT Galveston Daily News, July 21, 1986, p. 4. 
2 CONT Various Census records for Galveston, 1900 and 1910. 
2 CONT Her bapstim record on file with the Galveston-Houston archive in 
2 CONT Houston confirm that she is the daughter of John Smith and Margaret 
2 CONT Halpin. In fact it gives her full name as Mary Agnes Smith, the name 
2 CONT also used in her obituary. The date of birth is different though. It 
2 CONT says in the certificate she was born on June 10, 1891 and not June 8, 
2 CONT as it said in the obit. I'll go with the certificate. Her sponsors 
2 CONT were Patrick Smith and Bridget Mongan.

1 NOTE                                      Mathias Hermann and His Immediate 
2 CONT Offspring
1 NOTE Though the 1880 Census for Galveston, (Ward 7, 32nd and Ave. L) shows 
2 CONT that both he and his wife Mary (Becker) Hermann were 60 at the time, his 
2 CONT death record on file with the Galveston County Health Department states 
2 CONT that he was born in 1822, not 1820, which would be correct using the 1880 
2 CONT Census as fact. 
1 NOTE There is also descrepancy between the two records concerning 
2 CONT his birthplace. The 1880 Census says Prussia. The death record 
2 CONT says Lorraine, France. His daughter Margaret who later married 
2 CONT Louis Wenzel is said to have been born in Loraine also, according 
2 CONT to her death record. 
1 NOTE So it could be everyone thought he was from Loraine because the children 
2 CONT were born there. Or it could be he misunderstood the census taker's 
2 CONT question when asked where are you from. He could have taken the question 
2 CONT to mean "where'd you live last'' and perhaps because the ship left 
2 CONT Prussia, that was the answer he gave.
1 NOTE Anyway, the Census also shows his occupation as a hunter and 
2 CONT trapper. 
1 NOTE Though the location of Mathias' birth is not cleared up in the 1870 
2 CONT Galveston Census, his age is. In 1870 he and his wife gave as their ages 
2 CONT 47, placing their births in 1823 or 1822, if they had not yet had their 
2 CONT birthday by the time the census taker came around. Still they give 
2 CONT Prussia as their birthplace.
1 NOTE Living with Mathias at the time of the 1870 Census were Margaret Wenzel, 
2 CONT 25, his daughter, born in Prussia, Louis Wenzel, 27, born in Saxony, 
2 CONT their 1-year-old daughter, Mary, who'd later become Mary Birkmeyer, 
2 CONT grandmother to Mary Margaret (Mongan) Lanterman, and Mathias's two 
2 CONT youngest sons, David, 14, and John, 5.
1 NOTE It appears in 1870 Mathias' oldest son Mathias Jr., who at that time 
2 CONT would have been 23 and in two years marry Agusta Eggart, was away from 
2 CONT home. Incidentally, the death record for Mathias Jr. also claims he was 
2 CONT born in Alsace-Loraine in 1847. He died Dec. 28, 1920 at the age of 73.
1 NOTE The only light the 1860 Census sheds on the Hermanns is they also had a 
2 CONT daughter, Mina, 9, and son Frank, 5 months, that I've not seen mentioned 
2 CONT in any other records.
1 NOTE Finally, he would not be in any later Galveston Census as Mathias Sr. 
2 CONT died in 1895 five years before the 1900 Census. The 1890 Census for all 
2 CONT but a few parts of the country are destroyed.
1 NOTE Living with Mathias Sr. in 1880, however, were his wife Mary, 60, also of 
2 CONT Prussia, son David Hermann, 22, (if the 1860 census is correct he was 25) 
2 CONT a wife, Laura, 22, and their two children Maggie, 4, and Laura, 2.
1 NOTE Their daughter Margaret (Hermann) Wenzel would by this time be living 
2 CONT with her children, as her husband Louis Wenzel may have already died.
1 NOTE Also, it appears that the Hermanns arrived in the United States 
2 CONT sometime in the 1850s.
1 NOTE Margaret (Hermann) Wenzel's obituary shows she came here in 1850 while 
2 CONT her answer to the 1910 census was 1855. Both dates are probable if you 
2 CONT consider her sister Mina, who, according to the 1860 Census,  was born in 
2 CONT Germany, while her brother David was born in Texas. At the time of  the 
2 CONT 1860 Census, Mina was nine and David was five. So doing a little math, 
2 CONT puts the Hermann's arrival in the U.S. at between 1850 and 1855.
1 NOTE But according to New Homes in A New Land: German Immigration to Texas, 
2 CONT 1847-1861 by Ethel Hander Geue, a ship's manifest for the Sophie, which 
2 CONT left Bremen, Germany and arrived in Galveston on Jan. 19, 1852, has 
2 CONT a Mathias Hermann, 28, Maria, 29, Margaret, 6, and Mathias, 2, listed 
2 CONT as passengers. Unfortunately it didn't state where they were from. (The 
2 CONT book can be found at the Rosenberg Library in Galveston or the Clayton 
2 CONT Library in Houston.)
1 NOTE You can't ask for a better date than that. So if all this is accurate, 
2 CONT the Hermanns are my first ancestors to arrive in Galveston, followed by 
2 CONT Louis Wenzel, sometime in the 1860s, Tobias Mongan in the early 1870s, 
2 CONT John Carroll in the 1880s and the Birkmeyers in the 1890s.
1 NOTE Some notes from the Galveston City Directory: The earliest available 
2 CONT address for the Mathias Hermann family is the corner of Ave. L and 29th 
2 CONT St, according to the 1859-1860 city directory.
1 NOTE Later according to the GCD for 1867, they lived at 32nd between L and M. 
2 CONT In 1877, they lived at 32nd between K and L.

1 NOTE BIO:For clarity's sake, I have segregated the best I can the two
2 CONT Michael Mongans. This one for example is the one who has several 
2 CONT sons and daughters, three of whom were born in Leeds, England before 
2 CONT coming to America. This Michael also lived at 4311 Winnie with his 
2 CONT children most of his life. 
2 CONT The one bit of detailed information I have on Michael Mongan comes 
2 CONT from the 1900 Census when he lived at 4311 Winnie. There it says 
2 CONT he was born in August 1839, and when the census was taken answered 
2 CONT that he was 60. The census also says he was married 31 years at this 
2 CONT time, meaning he was married in 1869. The census of 1910 indicates 
2 CONT that several of his children were born in Leeds, England and that 
2 CONT he immigrated to the U.S. in 1870. 
2 CONT The date of immigration, though can't be right, since his oldest son 
2 CONT Tom W. Mongan was born in 1871 and his daughter Mary was born in 1873 
2 CONT and John "Jack" Mongan was born in 1877 --- all in Leeds, England. 
2 CONT Furthermore, the 1900 Census says Mary, his daughter, immigrated in 
2 CONT 1882. 
2 CONT His obituary in the Galveston Daily News at the age of 59 in 1912, 
2 CONT also must be wrong, because that would put his birth in 1853. He 
2 CONT must have been 72 when he died if the 1900 Census is correct. This 
2 CONT needs more checking. 
2 CONT According to the 1900 Census, Michael Mongan was a widow, and 
2 CONT living with him were William (C.) Smith, son-in-law, 28, married 
2 CONT two years to his daughter Mary (Mongan) Smith, 27. Their daughter 
2 CONT Laurene Smith, born Sept 1898, and Michael Mongan Jr., born June 
2 CONT 1887 in Texas, as well as Maggie Mongan, born July 1885. 
2 CONT Some of the evidence supporting the contention that this Michael 
2 CONT is the brother of Tobias Mongan: 
2 CONT 1) Stories of Tobias' tragic death in the Galveston Daily News say 
2 CONT his brother Michael was at his bedside when he died. 
2 CONT 2) Michael Mongan and his wife Bridget (Mullen) Mongan were baptismal 
2 CONT sponsors for Tobias' youngest daughter Jenny on Sept. 27, 1885. 
2 CONT 3) Michael Mongan's obituary in 1912 states that he is survived by 
2 CONT three nieces and one nephew. Though it doesn't identify who those 
2 CONT nieces and nephew are the numbers fit like a glove with Tobias' 
2 CONT kids living at that time: Bridget (Mongan) Williams, Mollie (Mongan) 
2 CONT Garvin, Jenny Mongan, and Thomas William Mongan. 
2 CONT 4) And perhaps the best bit of evidence comes from Avanelle Lane 
2 CONT Durham, Michael Mongan's granddaughter who's genealogy records clearly 
2 CONT notes that Michael Mongan Sr. had two brothers: Tobias and John. 
2 CONT She further notes that Tobias owned a saloon and was killed by 
2 CONT son-in-law Gaber (don't know where that came from) Williams, and that 
2 CONT Tobias was married to Mary Smith, Wm. Smith's Aunt. Furthermore 
2 CONT she lists correctly all of Tobe's children and Thomas William

1 NOTE BIO:From the obituary for Patrick Mongan in the Galveston Daily
2 CONT News, May 14, 1913: 
2 CONT Patrick Mongan, aged 69 years, and a resident of Galveston for 
2 CONT over 40 years, died Tuesday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock after 
2 CONT an illness of some months. Mr. Mongan had been an employee 
2 CONT of the Galveston Gas Company for thirty-seven years. He was 
2 CONT a charter member of Division No. 1 of the Ancient Order of 
2 CONT Hibernians and a charter member of the Emmet Benevolent 
2 CONT Association. The funeral which is to be held this afternoon 
2 CONT at 3 o'clock from the residence of Thomas W. Mongan, 3621 
2 CONT Postoffice street, will be under the auspices of those 
2 CONT organizations. No immediate relatives survive in this 
2 CONT country. 
2 CONT Pat is also listed in the 1880 Census for the City of Galveston. 
2 CONT His age is given as 26 on June 7, 1880 when the census was 
2 CONT taken.  So either the newspaper published wrong information 
2 CONT or Pat gave the census taker his age minus 10 years. 
2 CONT At the time he is boarding with a guy by the name of John May, 
2 CONT who also puts up various members of the Mongan-Smith clan over 
2 CONT the years. 
2 CONT The Galveston City Directory for 1881-82 that Pat is still living 
2 CONT with John May at 324 Market Street, between 31st and 32nd streets. 
2 CONT His occupation, which he would hold his remaining years in Galveston 
2 CONT is employee of the Galveston Gas Light Co. 
2 CONT Shortly after 1900 Storm and after Thomas William Mongan (son of 
2 CONT Tobias) relenquishes his trusteeship of Mike Mongan's property 
2 CONT on 44th and K, Pat assumes ownership of the small plot. But 
2 CONT strangely in the 1910 Census he is not living at that address. 
2 CONT Instead he is a single border living at 2827 Ave. D., Ward 5. 
2 CONT His age is 63, which is about 6 years too young if his obituary 
2 CONT in 1913 is to be believed or 7 years too old if the 1880 Census 
2 CONT is right. 
2 CONT For more on Pat Mongan and the property at 44th and K, see Mike 
2 CONT Mongan and Michael Mongan entries.

1 NOTE BIO:Do not confuse this Tom W. Mongan with the Thomas William
2 CONT Mongan of the Tobias Mongan clan, although it could be 
2 CONT that the two families are related through Michael Mongan, 
2 CONT who is not to be confused with Mike Mongan, brother of Tobias 
2 CONT and cousin of Pat and Martin. 
2 CONT Confused yet? 
2 CONT If you aren't, I was and may be still am. But here's the best 
2 CONT educated guess backed up with obits, funeral records and cemetery 
2 CONT designations I can make. 
2 CONT Tom W. Mongan is definitely the son of Michael Mongan, Sr. and 
2 CONT Bridget Mullen. The Death Record at the Texas Room of the Rosenberg 
2 CONT Library says as much. It also points out that he was born in Leeds 
2 CONT England and had lived in Galveston for 40 years, meaning he came 
2 CONT here as a child with his family when only 8 in about 1879. 
2 CONT Listed as his surviving brothers are Edward and Patrick Mongan and 
2 CONT three sisters: Mrs. W.C. Smith, Mrs. R. Lane and Mrs. John Olson. 
2 CONT Though this Tom Mongan is buried in Lot D-11, his father Michael, 
2 CONT brothers James and John are buried in Lot A-25 in Calvary. 
2 CONT Taking all this into account helps clear up a very confusing 
2 CONT Galveston City Directory for 1896-97, in which there are 
2 CONT three Thomas Mongan's listed (I have yet to figure out who the 
2 CONT Thomas Mongan working for Parker, Coon & Ernest is), two Patricks, 
2 CONT two Michaels, two Marys, two Johns and one James, each of whom 
2 CONT were living clumped together at three addresses. 
2 CONT Then later in the 1909-10 City Directory, an Edward Mongan pops up 
2 CONT and one John and one Mike Mongan, who were living at the same 
2 CONT address in 1896-97 disappear. 
2 CONT All this means to me is that Michael Mongan is not the same 
2 CONT Mike Mongan mentioned in stories about Tobias Mongan's shooting 
2 CONT death. In other words, Micheal Mongan is father to Tom W. Mongan, 
2 CONT Micheal Mongan, Jr. (listed elsewhere,) Pat Mongan, Edward Mongan, 
2 CONT James Mongan and several women. 
2 CONT Further support for this comes in 1928 when a Tom W. Mongan (Tom W. 
2 CONT Mongan, Jr. in this book) goes berserk one afternoon in August, 
2 CONT shooting two women and then himself on the city streets. News 
2 CONT accounts say he was a Vet of WWI and that may have contributed to 
2 CONT his craziness. Tom W. Mongan, Sr.'s obituary lists a son Tom 
2 CONT who was with the American expeditionary forces in France at the 
2 CONT time of his father's death. 
2 CONT (For more on this confusing tale bio entry for Mike Mongan.) 
2 CONT Card on file at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Dickenson, Texas, shows 
2 CONT Tom's wife Mary bought the lots in November 1919 for $75. Buried 
2 CONT alongside Tom are his son Tom W. Mongan, Jr., Agnes Leona De Milley 
2 CONT buried there in Aug. 16, 1932, Harry De Milley, buried on Jan. 30,

1 NOTE BIO:Maggie Mongan holds a special place in my family tree research.
2 CONT Until I met with her daughter Thomasine Lane Yeager and niece, Mary 
2 CONT Olson Hasselmire, in late March of 1994, I was still uncertain whether 
2 CONT Michael Mongan was the brother of my g-great grandfather Tobias 
2 CONT Mongan. 
2 CONT But Thomasine said she recalled her mother Maggie saying her father's 
2 CONT mother was a Jennings. A followup call to Avanelle Lane Durham, 
2 CONT Thomasine's sister, made it almost certain concerning the Jennings 
2 CONT connection. 
2 CONT But all doubt was erased with the copy of a two-page genealogy I 
2 CONT received from Avanelle in May 1994. The genealogy was compiled by 
2 CONT Maggie but Avanelle is not sure when. The key bit of info for me was 
2 CONT listed about midway down the first page of script. There it states: 
2 CONT "My mother-mother madiden name was Mary Clark. 
2 CONT (") father mother (")    (") Mary Jennings." 
2 CONT That means, for those of you still with me, Michael Mongan, Maggie's 
2 CONT father and Avanelle's grandfather, is the brother of Tobias as both 
2 CONT had the same mother, Mary Jennings. 
2 CONT Below I include the entire note for record keeping purposes. 
2 CONT (In black ink before the copy begins, Avanelle writes: I do not 
2 CONT know the exact date this was written. My mother made mistakes in 
2 CONT spelling sometimes, but her mind was very clear, up until she had 
2 CONT a stroke & died.) 
2 CONT (The note begins) 
2 CONT Bridget Mullen and Michael Mongan married in County Clare Ireland 
2 CONT in the year of our Lord. 
2 CONT To them these children was born. 
2 CONT Thomas 
2 CONT Patrick 
2 CONT Mary

2 CONT My mother-mother maiden name was Mary Clark 
2 CONT "  Father mother "      "    Mary Genn (Genn is scratched out) 
2 CONT Jennings. 
2 CONT My mother had three sisters 
2 CONT Ellen            don't know anything 
2 CONT Nellie                  about them 
2 CONT Mary  one brother John Mullen. 
2 CONT Michael Mongan had 2 brothers 
2 CONT Tobias - John and one sister. She married 
2 CONT a man by the name of connor. One of the boys live in Harrisburg, 
2 CONT Penn. Winnie Caufold was a niece live in Gal. 
2 CONT Michael Mongan family 
2 CONT (page 2 begins) 
2 CONT Thomas Mongan married Minnie Laycock in St. Patrick Church in 
2 CONT Galveston. They had 3 children. Thomas jr., Ora and Valeria. 
2 CONT Thomas Jr. had no children. Ora married a man by the name of 
2 CONT George Junemann, they had two boys. Thomas and George. Valeria 
2 CONT married a man by the name of Freddie Gould. They had two girls 
2 CONT and a boy. They live in Galveston. Jessie Lee married a fellow by the 
2 CONT name of (looks like) Heuelover. She has one girl and a boy. Pasty no 
2 CONT children. Jimmie not married. John not married. Michael not married. 
2 CONT Eddie not married. 
2 CONT Maggie Mongan Lane has 3 girls and 1 boy. Monica married Hank Duncan 
2 CONT has 1 boy. C.H. live in K.C., Thomasine married a fellow by the name 
2 CONT of Arch Yeager. Has two children. 1 boy 1 girl. The girl married 
2 CONT a fellow by the name of Richwine has a child Leslie Ann. Avanelle 
2 CONT married to Morris Durham in Vallonia Ind, has 3 sons, Sammy, Donald 
2 CONT Ray and Glen Thomasine. 
2 CONT Papa brother tobias had five children, Thomas, Bridget, Mollie, 
2 CONT Jennie and Johnie Boy. Tom married a girl by the name of Maggie 
2 CONT Carroll. They had 4 children, 2 boys Tobias & Bernard and Eldred, and 
2 CONT Thomasine. Tobias had 1 son Tobias Jr. Bernard had two children. 
2 CONT Eldred none children. Thomasine 2. She married a fellow by the name of 
2 CONT Connor. 
2 CONT Although ALD says she doesn't know the exact date this note was 
2 CONT written, its clear to me it was written between May 23, 1964 and 
2 CONT Aug. 11, 1969. That's because she lists in her note one granddaughter 
2 CONT for Thomasine Lane Yeager, Leslie Ann, who was born May 1964. She 
2 CONT doesn't mention Chondra (who I met when Thomasine visited Galveston 
2 CONT in March 1994). She was born in 1969.

2 CONT John Caufield and Bridget A. Mongan. Is this Bridget Tobe's daughter? 
2 CONT I think it is. Why? Her godparents were Michael and Bridget (Mullen) 
2 CONT Mongan. Her mother's middle name was Agnes, hence the A in the record 
2 CONT and she was 13 at that time, old enough to be a sponsor. 
2 CONT If I'm right this further cements the connection between this Michael

1 NOTE Funeral services for Thomas William Mongan, 73, wharf clerk for 
2 CONT Lykes Bros. Steamship Co. for 29 years and a native Galvestonian 
2 CONT who died at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday in St. Mary's Infirmary will be 
2 CONT conducted at 9 a.m. Thursday from the drawing room of Malloy & Son 
2 CONT Funeral Home and thence to Sacred Heart Church for requiem mass.
1 NOTE Rt. Rev. Msgr. M.S. Chataignon will officiate and interment will 
2 CONT be at Calvary Cemetery. He was born here Sept. 30, 1875 and had 
2 CONT lived in Galveston his entire life.
1 NOTE Pallbearers will be Harry E. Rau, Walter J. Whiteman Sr., J.D. 
2 CONT Mitchell, Earl O'Connor, Lester Greimillion and Max W. Eisenbach.
1 NOTE The rosary will be recited at the funeral home at 8:15 a.m. Wednesday 
2 CONT by Msgr. Chataignon. 
1 NOTE Survivors include two daughters Mrs. Aelred Clarke of Topeka, Kan. 
2 CONT and Mrs. Thomasine O'Connor of Texas City and two sons, Bernard 
2 CONT J. Mongan of La Marque and Tobias T. Mongan of Galveston, two 
2 CONT sisters, Mrs. B. Williams and Mrs. Mollie Garvin, both of Houston, 
2 CONT five grandchildren, two great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and 
2 CONT other relatives. 
1 NOTE According to records at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Dickinson, Texas, 
2 CONT Thomas Mongan is buried in lot C-114 at Calvary Cemetery. The 
2 CONT grave is unmarked, but Mary Mongan, a granddaughter, says he 
2 CONT is buried in a Marchand plot.
1 NOTE Marriage Records at the Galveston County Courthouse show he 
2 CONT married Margarette Carroll on April 20, 1898. 
1 NOTE Mary Margaret Mongan also says her grandfather's home was on 44th and 
2 CONT Broadway. 
1 NOTE It appears that Thomas Mongan was something of a clan leader 
2 CONT after his father died.
1 NOTE For example, in Galveston County's Probate Book 59, pages 617-621, for 
2 CONT the will of Pat Mongan, it lists Thomas William Mongan as Pat Mongan's 
2 CONT executor and cousin.
1 NOTE Another example of TW Mongan's shepherding is in the probate

2 CONT he and his wife were called in to testify to Smith's signature.
1 NOTE Back to Pat Mongan.
1 NOTE His obituary, reported in the Galveston Daily News on May 14, 1913, 
2 CONT points out that his funeral would take place from the home of Thomas W. 
2 CONT Mongan, 3621 Post Office St. and would be conducted by the Ancient 
2 CONT Order of Hibernians. 
1 NOTE But the two really interesting things in that obit are these: 
1 NOTE One his age at death 69 and the fact that he had no immediate 
2 CONT relatives in Galveston. The reason these are interesting details is that 
2 CONT his age would place him in the generation with TW Mongan's father. In 
2 CONT fact, he 
2 CONT would have been born in 1842. That means he must have been a 
2 CONT second cousin.
1 NOTE Secondly, the detail about no immediate relatives would seem to mean he 
2 CONT is not --- obviously cannot be --- the son of Michael Mongan and brother 
2 CONT of Mike's sons.
1 NOTE A Pat Mongan was listed in Mike's obit. But this cannot be him. 
2 CONT That means, yet another Mongan from Tobias' generation had come 
2 CONT to Galveston during the 1870s (Pat's obit says that's when he 
2 CONT arrived) and was the son of one of the brother's of Tobias' father, 
2 CONT Thomas.

1 NOTE BIO:[3.5x4.75]Mary Wenzel in early 1950s on her porch at 1101-37th.
2 CONT Mary Margaret, who's named for Mary Louise, tells a 
2 CONT story about her. It's simple but shows how Galveston 
2 CONT was growing in the late 1800s. Mary Wenzel's father ran a grocery 
2 CONT store and was said to keep Indians in his attic. Mary Wenzel also 
2 CONT says that when she first married H.S. Birkmeyer she would stand on 
2 CONT her front porch at night and wave a white bedsheet to her relatives 
2 CONT down on Galveston's west end. The reason: It was her way and the woma 
2 CONT down the island's way of signaling to one another that everything 
2 CONT was alright. Tough life huh? 
2 CONT Also in one census of 1900 it shows Louis Wenzel, age 29 was living 
2 CONT with her and her husband at 3823 Ave. L in Galveston. They later 
2 CONT moved into her father's house at 37th and K, where next door, Mary 
2 CONT Margaret Mongan was born to Clementine (Birkmeyer) Mongan. 
2 CONT Her father, Louis Wenzel (not to be confused with her brother, Lewis 
2 CONT Davidson Wenzel), later killed himself with a bullet to the brain. 
2 CONT The Wenzel's were apparently steeped in their German culture 
2 CONT as they attended the German language Catholic church, St. Joseph, 
2 CONT lived in a part of Galveston where German names, Rubewrites, Doschl- 
2 CONT itzes and others predominated. 
2 CONT Mary Louise and her brothers were baptised at St. Joseph's in fact. 
2 CONT Mary's godmother --- she didn't have a godfather for some reason --- 
2 CONT was Mary Hermann, no doubt an aunt and her namesake. 
2 CONT 1900 Census for informatin about Louis Davidson Wenzel living
2 CONT with Mary Louise Wenzel and her husband Henry S. Birkmeyer Jr.

1 NOTE BIO:This Patrick Smith, who was born on April 2, 1883 and baptized
2 CONT on April 15th of that year, helps establish a probable 
2 CONT familial link between his father Michael Smith and Mary 
2 CONT Smith Mongan. The reason for believing that is the baptismal 
2 CONT record on file at the Galveston-Houston Diocese lists 
2 CONT Toby Mongan and Bridget Mongan as the sponsors of Patrick's 
2 CONT baptism. 
2 CONT Toby Mongan is Mary Smith Mongan's husband. But it is unclear 
2 CONT who Bridget. There are two possibilities. Tobe and Mary had a 
2 CONT daughter named Bridget, who'd be about 10 then. Also a 
2 CONT Michael Mongan living on the island, and whom I strongly 
2 CONT suspect is Tobe's brother, was married to a Bridget Mullen Mongan.

1 NOTE BIO:Little is known of Fausteen J. Silveria. In fact, what is in the
2 CONT record seems confusing. 
2 CONT According to Records to Southern Louisiana for Terrebone and La- 
2 CONT fourche parishes, Fausteen was born to Francisco Silverae on 
2 CONT November 25, not September 25 as his 1940 obituary in the 
2 CONT Galveston Daily News says. 
2 CONT There are no previous or following notations of Silveraes 
2 CONT or Silverias in Lafourche or Terrebone parishes. 
2 CONT What the first record says on Fausteen: 
2 CONT "Silverae, Faustin Jefferson (Francisco and Mathilde Andrews) 
2 CONT B. 25 Nov. 1879 (Thib. Ch. V. 6, p 382). 
2 CONT What that means is Fausteen was born to F and M and the record 
2 CONT noting that is kept at St. Joseph's Co-Cathedral in Thibodeaux, 
2 CONT La. 
2 CONT Whether his brother and two sisters were also born in Thibodeaux 
2 CONT is not certain. However, according to his obituary, he was a resident 
2 CONT of Galveston for 58 years, meaning he moved with his family to 
2 CONT Galveston in 1882. 
2 CONT Another interesting note on Fausteen: He was a veteran of the Spanish 
2 CONT American War. And judging by his list of pallbearers, he maintained 
2 CONT ties with military types, perhaps SA vets, late into life. 
2 CONT His pallbearers were Corp. Udor J. Hebert, Corp. Lanham B. Thomas, 
2 CONT Pvt. Eldridge Hooks, George W. Chaille Jr., John F. Koch and 
2 CONT Bernard A. Samp. 
2 CONT According to records kept at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Dickinson, 
2 CONT Texas, Fausteen is buried in lot A-3064 in Calvary Cemetery in 
2 CONT Galveston. The record also indicates services were conducted 
2 CONT by Malloy & Son and a mass was said at Sacred Heart Church. 
2 CONT Funeral Record for year of his death at Malloy And Sons in
2 CONT Galveston: confirms his mother was Mattie Anders and 
2 CONT that his father Frank was born in Lisbon. 
2 CONT GDN Obit on day following his death.

1 NOTE One look at the immediate offspring of John K. Boniface shows that if 
2 CONT nothing else the man knew how and apparently was capable of fathering as 
2 CONT many kids as his wives could handle.
1 NOTE According to the Census of 1880, John had living with him and his new 
2 CONT third wife Ruth, who at the time was only 20, a brother Richard R. 
2 CONT Boniface, 22, born in New York. 
1 NOTE That raises the possibility that John K. Boniface came to this country 
2 CONT sometime after his birth,  Dec. 1845, and before the birth of his brother 
2 CONT in 1858. 
1 NOTE In fact, according to the Census of 1910, JK Boniface tells 
2 CONT the census taker he immigrated to the United States in 1851, 
2 CONT meaning he was 5 or 6 when he arrived with family in the U.S. 
1 NOTE (His third wife Ruth, by the way, says she immigrated in either 
2 CONT 1880 or 1850. The handwriting is difficult to decipher. But it would have 
2 CONT to be
2 CONT 1880 because she also answered that she was 50 in 1910. It would have 
2 CONT been impossible for her to have arrived 10 years before her birth. 
2 CONT Therefore, I'll assume she arrived in 1880.) 
1 NOTE The mystery remains, however, as to where JK arrived in the U.S. 
1 NOTE I have yet to discover an 1870 Census or an 1860 Census with 
2 CONT both a John K. Boniface and a Richard Boniface. Though he doesn't appear 
2 CONT in any index for the 1860 census, a John Boniface (could it be his father 
2 CONT or him as a boy of 15) is listed as living at 139 Laurens Street in the 
2 CONT Trow's 
2 CONT City Directory for 1860-61.
1 NOTE This Boniface was identified as a porter. A look at the ward map of New 
2 CONT York for that time period (1858) shows this Boniface would have lived in 
2 CONT the 8th Ward. I checked the raw census data and gave up about 
2 CONT a third of the way through.
1 NOTE But, lo and behold, in a listing of names and birthdates compiled 
2 CONT by John Keed Boniface himself and passed on to me by Olaf K. 
2 CONT Becker, JKB records that Abbie, his first child, is born at 174 
2 CONT Laurens St., New York City.
1 NOTE So, it must be his father in the city directory.
1 NOTE The 1900 Census (1890 Census is destroyed) shows J.K. Boniface 
2 CONT living on King Street in Morristown, N.J. He is 54 and claims 
2 CONT to have been born in England.
1 NOTE The listing can be found in Vol. 52, ED 65, Sheet 4, line 46. 
1 NOTE Living with him are Ruth H. Boniface, 39, born in June 1860 in 
2 CONT England, his wife; his daughter by another marriage, Ella, 26, 
2 CONT born in July 1873 in NY; son by another marriage, Joseph, 25, 
2 CONT born in February 1875; daughter by another marriage, Emma, 23, 
2 CONT born in October 1876; daughter by another marriage, Grace, 21, 
2 CONT born in New York in November 1878; R&K's daughter Alice J., 18, 
2 CONT born in New York in Novemeber 1881; Frederick, 16, born in Nov. 
2 CONT 1881 in New Jersey; Addison, 14, born in July 1885 in New Jersey; 
2 CONT Mary P., 13, born in February 1887, in New Jersey; Arthur E., 9, 
2 CONT born in July 1890 in New Jersey; Raymond, 7, born in August 1892 
2 CONT in New Jersey; Paul R., 5, born in January 1895 in New Jersey; Ruth 
2 CONT R., 2, born in February 1898 in New Jersey; and Harriet E., 8 mos., 
2 CONT born in Octobert 1899 in New Jersey. 
1 NOTE                  SOME MORE STUFF ON JK BONIFACE 
1 NOTE According to Marion "Maydie" (not sure of the spelling) Clark Watson, 
2 CONT a close friend of the Bonifaces and Harriet, in particular, John 
2 CONT Boniface was "an old crab" who was nice to his clients at the 
2 CONT fish and meat market he ran in Morristown. 
1 NOTE Maydie, who was 76 in August 1993, also says she remembers well 
2 CONT that he was heavily involved in the Morristown Volunteer Fire 
2 CONT Department, as every Columbus Day Oct. 12, the town would have 
2 CONT a Fireman's Day Parade and would sit high atop the fire truck 
2 CONT like he was top dog. 
1 NOTE Maydie adds that JK looked somewhat like his grandson Ralph Lanterman 
2 CONT with a moustache and was "fat like Tom," referring to Ralph's 
2 CONT brother who gained weight late in life after he quit smoking. 
1 NOTE Finally, Ruth Taylor Boniface was know by all her grandkids 
2 CONT as "Grandma Taylor." As Tom Lanterman says when a man has as 
2 CONT many wives as JK did it becomes convenient to call the 
2 CONT grandmothers by their maiden names.
1 NOTE Also, though it hasn't been confirmed, I've been told by several 
2 CONT that many of the Bonifaces fought in the Spanish American War 
2 CONT in 1898.
1 NOTE If that is true, only John K. Boniface Jr., JK's first son by his first 
2 CONT wife, would have been old enough. Or perhaps the lore is referring to 
2 CONT JK's brother Richard who was 22 in 1880. 
1 NOTE In fact, according to Ralph Lanterman, Harriet Boniface was 
2 CONT nicknamed "Chic" by her older half-brother Joe Boniface who 
2 CONT fought in Cuba.  Chic came from Chiquita. 
1 NOTE Ralph also claims that John Keed Boniface owned a pineapple 
2 CONT plantation in Puerto Rico and that he periodically would 
2 CONT go down to visit. 
1 NOTE According to JKB's death certificate, his cause of death was senility and 
2 CONT a contributory factor was rheumatism. The certificate further 
2 CONT states that he died at 10:03 a.m. June 2, 1927 at home, 31 Pine St., 
2 CONT in Morristown.
1 NOTE His parents' names given on the certificate were John Boniface and 
2 CONT Emma Redfern, both of England. He was born in Horsham, Sussex, 
2 CONT England. 
1 NOTE The record also notes that he was buried on June 4, 1927. 
1 NOTE His obituary in the Morristown Daily Record, June 2, 1927: 
1 NOTE J.K. Boniface Long in Business Here Deceased 
2 CONT 16 Children, 22 Grandchildren and 5 Great Grandchildren

1 NOTE BIO:Margaret Wenzel was 91 when I first talked to her on the telephone
2 CONT June 21, 1994. Polite but reluctant to give out too much information, 
2 CONT Margaret Wenzel seemed to have a very good memory. When I mentioned 
2 CONT my grandmother's name, she remembered that Clementine was the only 
2 CONT girl and that the entire family was "musical, everyone played their 
2 CONT own instrument." She also mentioned that she had two sons, an older 
2 CONT one who taught school in Freeport, math and manual training, whatever 
2 CONT that is. 
2 CONT I offered to run some information over to her house in Santa Fe, where 
2 CONT she's lived most of her adult life, but she politely brushed me off, 
2 CONT saying she wouldn't be interested. Her home by the way was boarded up 
2 CONT as long as my mother could remember and in bad need of a paint job 
2 CONT for as long as I could remember, but someone was caring for her as 
2 CONT the yard at 5518 N. Main was always well kept.

1 NOTE Stories about Harriet "Chic" Boniface abound. 
1 NOTE Her children say she was a smart woman, one of the few in her 
2 CONT family to have graduated from high school.
1 NOTE She also was said to have excelled in sports and held class office. 
1 NOTE Blessed or cursed with a full round face, the blessedness or 
2 CONT cursedness of such a face depends upon the wearer's daily disposition, 
2 CONT Harriet was also said to be camera shy. Therefore, the photographs 
2 CONT of her that exist are few. 
1 NOTE Raising four children through the Great Depression, Harriet was 
2 CONT either by force or consitution a frugal woman. One story tells 
2 CONT of the children shining pennies on the carpet about Thanksgiving 
2 CONT and then having them, along with an older brother's hand-me-down 
2 CONT coat appearing under the tree for Christmas. 
1 NOTE Though her sons and husband were known to drink a few beers in their 
2 CONT time, she would not allow liquor in her home. 
1 NOTE Here is a letter she wrote to Tom and Mary Lanterman on May 13, 1957. 
1 NOTE As she notes, it was recently John Karl Jr.'s birthday. 
1 NOTE Dear Tom & Mary, 
1 NOTE First off Dad forgot to tell you in his letter that we have a telephone. 
2 CONT The number is Ringling (RI6-9851) if you want to write it down. Jig 
2 CONT called us yesterday.
1 NOTE We didn't think he got the letter that told him about the fact we had the 
2 CONT phone so we talked to the four of them and as it was Karl's birthday, 
2 CONT they were going up to Young's for supper. 
1 NOTE They wanted to know if you were still planning to go to Bob's wedding 
2 CONT & if you did, they were going to turn the house over to us & go to 
2 CONT Youngs while we were there.
1 NOTE I guess we will stay with Jig & Bet anyway & Bob is going up to Youngs.
1 NOTE I guess Joelene's mother is sicker than we know as Betty said she 
2 CONT calls people on the phone only if she happens to be out of bed at the 
2 CONT time. We really don't know what is the matter but it will sure be a 
2 CONT short, quick ceremony I guess.
1 NOTE Thanks for your Mother's Day Card. 
1 NOTE It has been pretty warm down here for a week now but I haven't 
2 CONT minded it yet & hope I don't. 
1 NOTE Dad has been taking some vitamins called (looks like) vitalife for 
2 CONT over a month now and has been feeling real good for a couple of 
2 CONT weeks.
1 NOTE We're hoping it's the vitamins & if things go along as they have he's 
2 CONT going to try to cut on the cortisone when we come back from Jersey. I 
2 CONT guess we'll leave here on the 12th and leave up there on the 30th. 
1 NOTE We went to a 25th wedding anniversary celebration last evening. It 
2 CONT was for the people two doors up & the whole block was invited & 
2 CONT we had a real nice time & they were really surprised. Mrs. Mosier 
2 CONT made a silver money tree & they tied silver coins to it. 
1 NOTE Also she dressed a little bride and groom. It made a nice decoration. 
2 CONT I still feel fine & go for a check up Friday. 
1 NOTE K.G. must be getting to be a big boy & a chow hound (as if I didn't 
2 CONT know). It makes it so much easier with whole milk and he ought to go 
2 CONT right along easily. 
1 NOTE When are you planning to go to Texas so his other grandparents 
2 CONT can see him before you enlist him in the C.G. ? 
1 NOTE Judy goes to camp the 7th of June for a week. She went last year. 
1 NOTE I've had two lessons with Bob teaching me to drive. Not doing 
2 CONT too badly either. I'll get there one of these days. Will close and get 
2 CONT this off in the mail, 
1 NOTE Love, 
2 CONT Mother. 
1 NOTE Interesting. The woman is in her late 50s, not old by todays standards, 
2 CONT but up there back then and still she is learning new things. In this case 
2 CONT driving a car.  I have a feeling if she were around today, she'd own a 
2 CONT computer......
1 NOTE Her best friend Marion "Maydie" (Clarke) Watson, who was 20 years 
2 CONT younger than her says Chic was a great woman and mother.
1 NOTE She also dropped this tidbit that her mother delivered Bobby and his 
2 CONT twin sister. In fact, her mother named Bobby. The little girl's 
2 CONT nickname, who later died, was "Dit," a nicknamed sometimes shared 
2 CONT by Chic.
