AGS Quarterly
Austin TX
This is the issue of Quarterly each year in which members of
AGS have an opportunity to let our readers know what we are working
on and especially the names we are dealing with. There is no genealogist who is not faced with a number of information gaps. We give
our members a chance to publicize their information, including the
dead ends (appropriate term), not only to brag a little if they
want, but also as a quest for someone out there who just might have
at least a bit of what they are seeking. As I've said before, this
journal has an extensive mailing list and finds its way into many
societies and libraries around the country. Maybe it's like playing
the Texas Lottery but I am hoping there will be some lucky hits
this year.
We have over 60 pages of genealogy contributed by 23 of our
members, starting on Page 46. To those members who sent information
in, I extend many thanks for your time and effort. I also appreciate the excellent overall quality of the material--it took a minimum of editing to make it printer-ready and that's always a boon
for an editor.
The AGS Board of Directors regrets that Helen Rugeley has
found it necessary to resign from the Board. Helen was editor of
these pages for many years preceding me, and remained as our Book
Review Editor. There is probably no one who has contributed more in
countless ways to genealogy and to AGS through the years and we
will miss her expertise, her broad knowledge of genealogy, particularly in the central Texas area, and her superb command of the
English language.
But we're not losing her completely. Helen has graciously
agreed to continue reviewing books for the Quarterly, something she
has a unique and most enjoyable knack for doing. I am very happy
about this. Thank you, Helen, not only for what you have already
done but for what you will continue to do.
i
;
The AGS Annual Seminar approaches. It is scheduled for Saturday, 14 August 1993 at the Terrace, 200 Academy Drive, Austin,
starting at 8:OO a.m. Mr Curt B. Witcher of the Allen County Public
Library, Fort Wayne IN is our lecturer. Members will be mailed a
flyer and application this month. For your convenience, an application form is located on Page 110, along with further information.

EMIGRATION LISTS
The speaker for this year's AGS Seminar (August 14) will be Curt B.
Witcher of the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne! Indiana. One of Mr.
Witcher's topics is "Immigration and Passenger Lists." This is a topic of great
interest to most researchers in this country.
Some of the overlooked records in this area are the emigration lists from
Copenhagen, Denmark and from Hamburg, Germany. These records list the people
leaving these ports for other destinations, very often the United States. The
Copenhagen records are accessed in the Locality Catalo microfiche under DENMARK-KOBENHAVEN-KOBENHAVN-Emigrationand Immi ration. is record of emigrants
(Regester over udvandrere) covers the years 869-1911. The description of the
record states: "Alphabetical lists of emigrants who emigrated from a port in
Denmark (direct) and from ports of other countries as England and Germany (indirect)." A researcher should look at this record for emigrating Scandinavians
in particular, but also for Germans.
B
&
There are 17 rolls of microfilm for the New York passenger lists for 1870.
There is one roll of direct and one roll of indirect for Copenhagen emigrants in
1870. This record could save you some time in searching for your immigrant when
you know the year of entry into the United States, but not the exact date.
The Hamburg passenger lists (Auswanderlisten) cover the years 1850-1934.
These records are accessed in the Locality Catalog microfiche under HAMBURGHAMBURG-Emigration and Immi ration. The direct list names people who left Hamburg and went directly to t eir destination. The indirect records are of emigrants who stopped in European or British ports before sailing to their destination. In 1870 the direct and the indirect records are each on one roll of
microfilm.
fl
When you look at the Locality Catalog microfiche to find the film numbers
for these records, be sure to check other items under "Emigration and Immigration", such as passport applications.

Book Review
MoSGA 4-GENERATION CHARTS,
Vols. I1 through V
published by Missouri State Genealogical Association, Box 833,
Columbia €40 65205-0833; $12 each volume; 200 pages each; 11 x 8$gD;
paperbound.
J
Missouri State Genealogical Association has one of the most
impressive lists of publications produced by a genealogical society
that this reviewer has ever seen. Its annual journal (four issues
per volume) dates back to 1981; also offered are small records
pertaining to 19 counties, plus an Index to French and Spanish Land
Grants Recorded in Resisters of Land Titles in Missouri; and two
editions of Current Missouri Countieso Genealosical Resources.
The four volumes sent to be reviewed, MoSGA $-Generation
Charts, were published 1982 through 1991, and their covers (although of different pastel colored stock) bear the same attractive
design. The MoSGA logo consists of an outline map of Missouri
inside a circle containing the associationOs full name. Outside the
circle are compass points aimed at the directions M, E, S, and W.
Below that is the slogan ODIM THE CENTER,O0 referring to the state
and perhaps their association as well.,
Volume IV is spiral-bound and lacks an introductory page. Each
volume contains 200 four-generation charts expertly and uniformly
typed on the associationDs own charts bearing its logo in the first
column, (There is one exception: MoSGA must have lost the services
of its expert typist, for the fifth volume does contain some charts
not filled in by that typewriter, as well as some that were handprinted but on the whole quite legible,)
The name and address of the submitter appear at the lower left
of each chart, the charts being arranged according to the membership number of the person who contributed it. There are 15 ancestors per chart, which read in the ll-inch direction of the pages
(landscape)
A very legible surname index precedes the charts and is keyed
to page numbers. Many names have only one entry; Smith has an
average of 15 entries.
Since Missouri was a point of departure for so many pioneers
going north and west, this collection of ancestor charts should be
fertile ground for research. Among the early settlers in this area
(sometimes called OOthe Mother of the Westgo)were the French, fur
trappers and traders (cog., Daniel Boone), farmers, stock men,
miners, and so on. Browsing through these attractive charts should
be rewarding for many ancestor hunters who will find them in the
Genealogy Collection at Texas State Library in Austin.

OBITUARY
Joseph G. Wheat
News has been received of the death of Dr. Joseph G.
Wheat at Minneapolis, Minn., on January 20, 1916, where he,
together with Mrs. Wheat had been for some time visiting
with their son, Dr. Fred C. Wheat and. their daughter Mrs.
B. H. Foster.
Cr. and Mrs. Wheat, together with several members of
the family made their home in Mount Vernon, from the year
1896 until about two years ago, when the family home was
sold to Mrs. Miller.
Before coming to Mount Vernon, Dr. Wheat had been engaged in the active practice of his profession as a physician and surgeon in other parts of the state for about
thirty-five years. For about eleven years prior to their
removal to Mount Vernon, the family lived at Inwood, Lyon
County, where Dr. Wheat not only practiced medicine, but
was the owner of a drug store as well. For in addition
to being a physician and surgeon, he was a pharmacist and
was interested in the drug business during the greater
part of his life.
Dr. Wheat was a veteran of the Civil War, and has a
very creditable war record. He enlisted first in the 4th
Ohio Cavalry, vith which he ssrved for six months. Being
taken ill and hope of his recovery despaired of, he was
discharged and sent home to die, but within a - f e wmonths
recovered sufficiently to re-enlist, which he did in the
104th Illinois Infantry as a drummer boy. He selected
this service because he had not yet fully recovered his
health and his work as a musician would not subject him
to the exposures of guard duty. He soon rose to the position of chief musician of the regiment, which position he
continued to hold until the close of the war. In spite,
however, of the fact that his duties did not require him to
see active service in battle, whenever occasion offered,
he secured a musket and took part in the active fighting,
and was engaged in several important battles and skirmishes,
including Shiloh, Chattanooga Mountain and Atlanta. He was
wounded while engaging in a skirmish at Fort Henry Sy a
gun shot wound through the leg which caused him to Se sent
home on a three months furlough. He later rejoined his .
regiment and along with his regiment was finally captured
and confined for six months in Libby Prison, from which
Page 50
,
-2-
5 e was finally released in an almost starved conditio’n.
Dr. Wheat was always interested in every work that
looked toward the bettering of the moral and religious
character of the community in which he lived. He was not
only always found on the right si2e of every moral question but was unfaltering in his devotion to duty and had
the courage of his convictions.
Joseph G. Wheat was born in Jay County, Indiana, August 2 9 , 1 8 4 0 . He was married to Mary Eleanor McCoy August
3 , 1 8 6 5 at Tonica, LaSalle County, Ill. There were born
of this mariage [sic] nine children, three daughters and
six sons, all of whom, together with Mrs. Wheat survive
him. The names of the children are as follows: Eva M.
Foster, St. Paul, Minn,; Laura E. Foster, Mount Vernon,
Iowa; Dr. Fred C. Wheat, Minneapolis, Minn.; Benjamin-P.
Wheat, Saratoga Springs, N. Y.; Albert J. Wheat, Humboldt,
Iowa; George Guy Wheat,-Cambridge,Mass.; LeRoy H. Wheat,
Sioux City, Iowa; John R. Wheat, Serkley, Cal.; and Bessie
E: Shaw, Des Moines, Iowa.

Until the death of Dr. Wheat, the family record was
remarkable for continuity. On August 3 , 1915, Dr.and Mrs.
Wheat celebrated their golden wedding in Minneapolis, surroundez by many of their children and other descendents.
In addition to raising a death [sic; some misprint here],
th~erewere four daughters-in-law, three sons-in-law, nineteen grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and the husband of one grandchild and the wife of another, making a
family circle of forty-four without a death until the passing away of Dr. Wheat.
Mrs..W. H. Foster is the only member of the family
at present living in Mount Vernon, although four of the
Wheat boys in the family are alumni of Cornell College,
Fred C., and Benjamin P. Wheat graduating with the class
of 1904, Albert J. and G. G. with the class of l ? ? ? runreadable], in addition to
?
[unreadable]. ???y I-?.,
John P;, and Bessie Shaw were at one time students in the
college, where they will be well remembered.

April 2, 1919 Mount Vernon Record, Mount Vernon, Iowa.
MARRIED
Bair-Foster
The W. H. Bair and W. H. Foster families, two well known
and highly respected families were closely united by the marriage of Miss Mae Rosetta Bair and Floyd Percy Foster, Wednesday, March 26, a.t 5 o'clock in the town residence of the bride's
parents, 615 North Seventh Street. Dr. W. C. Keeler officiated
using the ring service. The whole affair was a very pretty
home wedding.
The ceremony was performed beneath an artistic arch which
spanned the doorway between the dining and the living rooms,
the lattice work being entwined with sprays of arborvita with
beautiful, large deep pink rosebuds distributed effectively here
and there, an appropriate white wedding bell being suspended
from the center.
Preceding the ceremony, Miss Laura Waters of Marengo, accompanied by Fred Foster at the piano and Miss Eleanor Current in a
violin obligato, sang ''1 Love you
and "Fairest in His
Garden, God Gave Me You." Miss Waters then played the Wedding
March as the wedding party descended the stairs which had Seen
decorated with pink and white ribbons with a ribbon gateway
presided over by the groom's sister, Miss Ruth, w30 opened the
gateway through which Miss Waneta Keve and Fred Foster, brother
of the groom, first passed, stepping aside to let the bride
and groom followed by Dr. Keeler pass to the appointed place
for the ceremony.
The bride wore a wedding gown of white georgette and carried a bouquet of American Beauty roses; the bride's maid wore
a dainty white voile and she also carried American Beauty roses.
After congratulations, the company of thirty four were
served, from one large and s i x small tables on which the color,
scheme of green and white and pink was continued, to a delicious five course dinner by the Misses Lucia Fordyce and Edna
Windenberg as caterers, assisted by the Misses Elva Fordyce,
Ruth Bair and Julia Field as waitresses.
The display of numerous well-chosen gifts indicated the
high favor in which the young couple are held by their friends
and relatives. After dinner the company lingered putting in
the time with the newly married young couple until they started
for the 10:20 car for Cedar Rapids, returning the next evening.

Mrs. Foster left her junior year in college to take up
this program for the rest of her life. She has majored in
Domestic Science while in Cornell aMd with her training in
school, in her home, in church activities where she has assumed definite responsibilities, and her excellent health
and fine spirit, she is fitted to become an ideal helpmate
for her young husband.
Mr. Foster was a graduate of High School two years ago
and has been serving in the navy since early in 1 9 1 7 , in
which service he ranked well. He passed through some of the
most notable activities of our navy during the present war.
He has been known as an industrious, trustworthy, ambitious
young man of clean habits.
The young couple have already taken up their work on the
W. H. Bair farm south of town, which Mr. Foster has rented.
Their at home card give April 1 0 as the date after which they
will receive their friends.
Out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Barrett, Mr.
and Mrs. J. V. Lindsey of Cedar Falls; Mr. and Mrs. E . Heuer
of Cedar Rapids; Mrs. E. H. Hudnutt of Grinnell; Mr. and Mrs.
Toland of Ruthven; Mrs. N. L. Waters and daughter of Marengo,

The Hon. Hugh Lygon
(1904-1936)
(‘Lord Sebastian Flyte’?)
The Earldom of Beauchamp and Viscountcy of Elmley were created in 1815 and became extinct in 1979. The
Beauchamp (pronounced Beechum ) title was taken from the 14th century barony and ancient f d y from whom
both American and British branches descend. The family seat, Madresfield Court at Great Malvem, Worcestershire,
was built on land owned by the Ligon family and their de Bracy ancestors since at least 1252. The parents and
siblings of the last Earl were known to writer Evelyn Waugh, and he is said to have used them as models for the
Marchmaia/Flyte family in his novel Brideshead Rewiisited.

History of ~arlqpCzech Settlement Remembered
Neusser, a small community of the early 1890's located almost
equal distance between Georgetown and Granger, was named after one
of its early pioneers, Johann Neusser. Johann was born December
19, 1845 at Seitendorf, a German settlement in Moravia,
Czechoslovakia, presently Czech Republic. The Village was renamed
Zivotice in 1945 after Germany lost W.W.11. Johann arrived in
America from Moravia on or about December 20, 1871, via the port of
New York.
Making his way to Fayette County, Texas, he settled in the
Moravian community of Ammansville possibly in 1872.
Southern
Fayette County was a favorite place for the immigrants of Bohemia,
Silesia and Moravia. Earlier Czechs and Moravians had established
communities at Dubina, Bluff (now called Hostyn), Praha, Navidad
and Ammansville. Johann settled in this community and there he met
Johanna Janak. The couple was married on November 24, 1874, in
Praha, Texas.
Johanna Janak, the daughter of Josef and Teresie-HonusJanak
of Horni Sklenov, Czechoslovakia, was born on March 26, 1853 in
Horni Sklenov. After the death of her husband on March 26, 1862.
Teresie Janalc emigrated to America and settled in Dubina, Texas, in
1871.
Teresie came to America with her six children, Teresie,
Johanna, Marianne, Jan, Ondrej, and Josef, and Theresie's aunt
Marianne Honus.
Johann's occupation in Ammansville is recorded as blacksmith.
He was proficient in both Czech and German languages. Upon his
arrival in this community, he quickly taught himself the English
language.
While in Ammansville, family life began when Louis, their
first child, was born. However, he died as an infant. Their next
child, a daughter Johanna, was born May 19, 1876, followed by John
R. (November 9, 18771 and Mary (May 30, 18791, the last child to be
born in Ammansville.
Hearing of the good land suitable for farming in Central
Texas, Johann and his brothers-in-law, Jan David, Ondrej Janak and
Jan Janak, traveled on horseback to Williamson County in 1879.
Their party explored the land north of the San Gabriel River.
Liking what they saw, they returned to Ammansville and in 1881,
Johann Neusser and his family made the move to this new land, where
they purchased a farm of 49 acres from J.M. Barnett on the Yankee
Branch.
Soon thereafter, joining Johann and his brothers-in-law on
this fertile land were others from Fayette County. The Bartos,
Zurovec, Grossman, Ulbreck, Pecka, Jurecka, and Mikulencek families
were the first to arrive and many others followed in later years.
Johann and Johanna's family also grew in number with the birth of
Aloisia (February 18821, Adolph (December 1884), Frank (October
18861, Emilie (August 18881, Joseph (November 18901, Bertha (June
1892) and Anton (July 1895).
In 1885, Johann purchased 160 acres from his brother-in-law,
Ondrej Janak, which was part of the Booker Queen Survey. The farm
Page 62
@

was located some 7.6 miles east of Georgetown,'Texas; A short
distance to the west and crossing Queens Hill, was the old Double
File Indian Trail, which crossed the Central Texas plains from
Mexico to East Texas. It is upon this farmland that the early, but
short lived, community of Neusser would come to be.
In 1890, the Georgetown and Granger Railroad Company, began
laying tracks from Georgetown to Granger. The Company purchased
the right of way on the north property line of the Neusser's farm.
Also an astute businessman, Johann quickly foresaw the
possibilities, as the northwest corner of his property was at the
junction of a road that led to Georgetown some 7.6 miles to the
west in one direction (current day Texas FM 971) and then turning
northward towards Walburg, along the east side of Jan Martinka's
farm, (currently County Road 156). About a mile from where the
road turned northward another road intersected, leading to Granger
to the east.
These primitive roads were highly traveled to reach Excelsior
Mill, a flour mill approximately 3 miles to the west, located on
the east bank of the San Gabriel River. This mill was built and
operated by James "Jim" Francis Towns in 1870, one of the better
known and busier mills in the county.
With the encouragement of the railroad representatives, a
general store and saloon/dance hall were built and placed into
operation. A well was dug to provide water. This business was
managed by Joseph Klimicek, Johann's son-in-law. The place soon
became a center of activity and gathering place for area residents.
Railroad work crews were also regular customers. With music being
provided by the talented Moravians, dances were frequently held at
the hall.
In the spring of 1892, a townsite was laid out by the
surveyors Messrs. Hal Montgomery, Ben Sherod and J.L. Rucker. The
townsite was initially referred to as Keliehor, on the Georgetown
and Granger Railroad. William Keliehor was a neighbor of Neusser
and owned a substantial piece of property adjoining the north
property line of the Neusser farm. Speculation is that since Mr.
Keliehor had owned substantial property in the area since 1884, or
perhaps he made the initial contact with the surveyors, the initial
township project bore his name.
A town. plot has not been located to show the exact location.
It is assumed, however, that the surveyed townsite was on the
Neusser property as Johann began to sell town lots that according
to the deed transactions were surveyed lots. The first two lots
were sold to Mrs. Johanna Aschen in September 1892, followed by a
sale to Friederich Zahn.
The railroad representative also suggested that the residents
apply for a post office from the U.S. Post Office Department as an
enhancement for the railroad to build a depot for the community.
A postal permit was obtained and, on December 30, 1892, Neusser,
Texas became part of the U.S. Postal Department.
At the time of the application, there were 75 people served by
this new postal service. Making the application in behalf of the
community was Edward Aschen, who was appointed first postmaster,
which he held until May 16, 1893. He was followed by Joseph
Klimicek who held the postmastership until April 27, 1894.
Page 63
The post office operations and the depot dream, however were
short-lived. The town of Granger, to the east, was growing and
prospering rapidly with the Georgetown and Granger rail line
intersecting the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad north-south line.
The depot was built, instead, at Granger.
Mr. August Zahn served as the last appointed postmaster of
Neusser when it was discontinued on May 21, 1894. With this
disappointment, the community as envisioned by Johann Neusser and
his friends, did not materialize. The building housing the general
store and post office was subsequently sold and, is believed move
to Theon and still in existence.
Though the post office operations were discontinued, the area
continued to be known as Neusser(ville), later spelled
Naizer(ville), and continued to prosper with farming and cattle
raising.
A custom which became prevalent among these early
settlers was the formation of beef clubs. Once a month, a neighbor
would furnish a head of beef which would be butchered and meat
shared among the club members. Johann's farm served as the beef
club headquarters for the community.
These Moravian pioneers loved the soil and were quick to turn
the prairie grass to a blanket of cotton. With cotton being the
principal agricultural product, in the 1 9 2 0 ' s a cotton gin was
built two miles east of Neusser(vil1e) by the Mazoch brothers. It
Another gin
served the surrounding community until the 1 9 6 0 ' s .
located at Townsville, about 3 miles west on the Georgetown road,
also served the area cotton farmers.
Johann continued to be a driving force in this new settlement
of Williamson County.
Fluent in German, Czech and English
languages, he was called upon to serve as interpreter and counselor
for the increasing Moravian population in the area. Frequent trips
to Georgetown, the county seat, on horseback or buggy were not
uncommon as he served as interpreter in land transactions,
citizenship declaration, or in a civil court for the newly arriving
Moravians.
Though the farm and blacksmith operations were his base of
economic support, Johann raised cattle, traded horses, and bought
and sold farm land. Each of his sons, John, Frank, Adolph, and
son-in-law Frank Dobecka bought their farms from his inventory of
farms. Anton and Joe were not yet old enough to own and operate
their own farms and instead helped their father with the family
farm.
Johann was a gifted craftsman, who besides being a blacksmith
and carpenter, could also make saddles and ropes. Being a selftaught veterinarian, he was called upon by his neighbors to attend
to their livestock.
Johann was a prime mover in establishing Sts. Cyril and
Methodius Catholic Church in Granger. A charter member, he served
on the building committee when the church was constructed in 1891.
He and Jan Martinka, his neighbor, made the trip to Austin to
secure the deed for the land that W.H. Walton, an Austin lawyer,
gave the newly formed parish for one dollar.
Being a skilled carpenter and a blacksmith, he was of great
service making the bolts needed for the building joist and the long
chains to hold the three candle chandeliers which were to hang in
Page 44

the sanctuary. Mr. Martinka handcrafted the church'-foundation
stones from the stones excavated by the railroad company from the
railroad bed on Neusser's farm and hauled them by wagon to the
church site.
The Catholic children of the Neusser community either went by
buggy or walked to Granger to attend the parochial school when it
was built in 1899. Johann and Johanna Neusser had six sons and
five daughters. The first son, Louis died as an infant. John R.
married Anria Marcella Bartosh; Frank married Agnes Stuchly; Adolph
married Mary Cervenka; Josef was single; Anton married Sophie
Spann; Johanna married Josef Klimicek; Aloisa married John F.
Bohac; Bertha married Alois Kopecky; and the youngest, Emilie,
remained single. All the children are deceased.
In 1910, Johann bought a house in Granger, where he, Johanna,
and daughter Millie moved. Joe and Anton remained on the farm.
During this period, Johann devoted most of his energies to real
estate dealings. Johann died on November 8 , 1914 and is buried in
the Calvary Cemetery a few miles to the east of Neusserville.
Joe died in 1921 and Anton married and bought his own farm
east of Granger. The Neusser farm was then rented to the Pavlacek
family. In addition to farming Mr. Pavlacek operated a molasses
press. Neighbors from miles around would plant an acre or two of
can sugar and bring it to Mr. Pavlacek's for pressing and cooking
of the molasses.
Johanna died on May 6, 1937. The Neusser farm was retained in
the estate until it was sold in 1942 to Mr. Jordan Milton Whitley.
To this day it is still in the ownership of the Whitley family.
Regretfully, the townsite that Johann Neusser dreamed of is a
pasture today. The only remnants of this short-lived community is
the water well that has since been filled, and a few sheets of
scattered rusted sheet metal that may have been used for the roof
on one of the buildi,ngs.

March, 1921
We remember when only 6 years of age of leaving Germany in the spring of 1856 for the U.S.
and crossing the Atlantic Ocean. We were only 40 days coming over and could see water and
sky and some sharks appeared to us like a herd of cattle. However, felt at home with our
parents and 2 brothers and 4 sisters. We landed first at New York and then took the train for
Hartsville, Ind., and if my memory serves me right arrived there in June and stayed with Uncle
Mench about a year. Then Father rented a farm near Hope, Ind. only about 6 miles west of
Hartsville. This was in 1858. While living on farm near the timber, principally beech trees, the
wild pigeons came in flocks by the thousands and brother Jacob built some traps and caught
some and in taking them out took hold of their tails and, of course, the feathers pulled out a n d
they flew away, to his sorrow. Soon after this Jacob and sister Carrie hired out to earn money.
In those days our chances were pretty slim for going to school. As we lived 2 or 3 miles awn!'
and was very muddy in winter time. And only a few months of school a year. So did not learn
to read till we were about 12 years of age.
We then got started to attend Sunday school at Hope, Ind. and kept in practice what little wc
learned i n country school. We joined the Moravian Church at 16 years at Hope and a few Years
later were converted in M.E.Church in town. (In) 1871 m y principles and ideas were about
getting property. Not to want it only by honest dealings (?). A t this time we started out to do
for ourself. Hired out at $15.00 and $18.00 per month for a f e w summmers and then attended
Hartsville College, and we had only a little education and of course have never graduated yet.
But after attending a few terms tried for a School License a n d then for a school in the country
2 miles west of Hope and cleared it. The same one I used to attend, and taught it for 5 months
at $35.00 per month. This was in 1874 and 1875.
T h e same spring attended the State Normal at Terrehaute, Ind.. During this time we had a n
excursion to Green Castle, Ind. and return for only 0.35 cents and had a very pleasant time. In
those days could go for a term for about $50.00. The same fall went back and had an excursion
to Paris, Ill. a t same low rate.
By the e n d of the year and term ran out of money. During the fall term had a week of bilious
fever. 1876-1st of Jan. came to brother Jacob at Green Castle, Ind. 6 miles out and spent the
winter cutting wood and in 1st of March both of us came to Iowa, by Mich. City, and drove
out to Pretty Prairie that night. Going up hill a long ways till I thought we would soon be up
to the moon. It was cool night. This was Mar. 7th. Thomas McBride took us to his house and
kept us for several weeks. Here we again tried for a spring term of school, and taught at the
Pretty Prairie for a few months at $25.00 and paid about $2.50 board a week. While hew
joined the United Brethern Church as preaching was held every few weeks at school house also
a Sunday school was held every summer.
In the Summer and Fall hired out at $1.00 per day. During August one day we heard a great
roaring like clouds passing over but it was my 1st experience seeing grasshoppers coming and
lighting all over the country. They did some damage to corn that fall. But in the spring they
got very numerous, and strange they soon left that part of the country. Land could be bought
from 5.00 to 10.00 per acre in Crawford and Shelby Co.. We were satisfied it was a good
bargain at those prices, but had no money to buy with.
So the latter part of Nov. was persuaded by Morris Chambers to go with him to Cal.. We only
had $50.00 but go or bust. We were 9 days in going. While going through Utah Desert the
train stopped at some small stations and we got out and some of our party shot Jack Rnbbits
and took them in the car and cooked and eat them. We had a fine time going.
Page 76
W e landed at Santa Clara, Cal.. Dead broke Dec. 1st. But Mr. Chambers folks took care of
for a few weeks and then 1 started out to h u n t work and found a few days at $1.00 per day.
111e
Jan. 15, 1877 we started out again, leaving town and in the evening arrived at the foothills and
there was a vineyard and fine grapes and of course got to eat all we cared for free. Then went
on into the timber a few miles and asked to stop overnight and the folks said could if I would
sleep in the hay mow. It seemed awful to me a tenderfoot among strangers. The next day
traveled about 40 miles over the mts. among timber. A t night stopped in a little boarding
house. A n d two other young men for the three of us they charged 0.75 cents. The nest
morning went on about 2 miles and hired out and only got to work a few days and came back
afoot all of the 50 miles to Santa Clara. And this time hired out to a dairyman at $10.00 per
month and of course I felt beaten, but what better could be done. So only stayed a few weeks.
A n d a man came to me and offered $1.25 per day about six miles on a mountain cutting
wood. So I walked out there 22 of Feb. 1877. Boarded myself at $1.50 per week. While out
there one Sunday walked 2 miles to hear a Catholic priest. He spoke on forgiveness. Another
Sunday walked out 8 miles to a small town and heard a part of the sermon about the Highway
of Holiness. May 26 on my birthday a friend came after m e while I was reading my Bible
under a live oak tree. I heard a noise and looked to see and a rattlesnake was coming towards
me and we jumped up and got a little pole and killed the poor brute and cut off its rattles and
sent them home to Hope, Ind.. This was on Sunday and I went out with -the friend to help
harvest a t $1.00 per day and stayed out about 30 days in Santa Clara Valley.
This was a drought year in that part of Cal.

DISCOVERY AND SHARING THROUGH FAMILY HISTORY
by Ghita Brockway Carter
4705 Fawnwood Cove
Austin, TX 78735
With more freedom and time to pursue my genealogy interests since
retirement, I have been rewarded with unexpected discoveries through contacts with relatives whom I have sought out and cultivated through correspondence and visits.
Last year in Wills Point, Texas, I went to see Lula, a second cousin
now in her 80's. She recalled going on the train as a child to visit our
grandmother Brockway in Terrell. Once when a circus was in town there,
the children were frightened one night by scratching at the window and
squealed when they discovered an escaped monkey looking in at them. Lula's
sister Maxine also came over to join in this visit; the sisters said that
our grandmother was a good cook and mentioned especially her cinnamon rolls
and cornbread. Maxine told me of a letter that my dad had written her many
years ago and which she had saved and treasured ever since; it had even
miraculously survived a fire. Later, when she mailed these yellowed sheets
of paper from 1940 to me, I was able to read my dad's personal words to her.
Maxine also recalled how good my parents were to her widowed mother and her
family in
the 1930's and how much she always loved them. Since then, I
have continued to correspond with this newly-found cousin and share pictures of
early relatives we.have in common.
After a busy morning there, my husband and I had a second visit set up
for the afternoon, also in Wills Point, with another cousin on my mother's
side of the family. From her mother, Mildred had inherited trunks from both
our grandmother Emma McLemee and great-grandmother Lucy Phillips. For this
occasion, Mildred had spread out a vast array of pictures, large and small,
and numerous other mementoes for me to view. She had invited over.also her
brother, his wife, and her father so it was pretty 'overwhelming to try to
ask questions, take notes, identify photos, take pictures, etc. One snapshot which I had never seen was of my dad and mother with me as an infant
in early 1931; in the scene also was my dad's horse which gives an idea of
what he considered a part of the family! Another picture treasure was a
charming photo of my mother and Mildred's mother as young girls about 1915
as they shyly posed in their white eyelet dresses and black stockings. I
was able to see and copy many other pictures as well: grandmother Emma as
a girl and with Tom McLemee and her young family, and great-great grandmother
Rebecca Emmeline Jones with her third husband, Burrell Brumley. It was a
memorable afternoon and an opportunity to renew family contacts''through
sharing our heritage.
After many letters and much patience in pursuing other third cousins
with whom I share a common great-grandfather, William Brockway, a breakthrough
finally came when my sister happened to be near Frankston, Texas and made
the first impromptu visit. Later, my husband and I came through the small
town to see Roland Richie and his wife and to view for the first time the
Brockway family Bible which I did not know existed. It was awesome to see
entries for marriages, births, and deaths from 1854-1950 inscribed in its
pages. Much copying and many pictures followed as we documented this treasure.
On a second visit to Roland, his sister Charlotte came from Baton Rouge and
my sister Ruthanne joined in for a gala marathon of sharing, talking, laughing and eating. I was able to tell Charlotte that her name "Charlotte Aug-

VICTOR EDWARD WESTERGARD
by Vicki Francis Powers
Victor Edward Westergard, my grandfather on my mother's side, was born
t o Aage Westergard and Helga Maria Anderson on June 10, 1910 i n Billings,
Montana, where it sometimes gets about f i f t y or sixty degrees below zero.
They lived on a homestead on the land the government gave h i s father f o r being
i n the Spanish-American War as a volunteer. Before a person could get t i t l e
t o the land, he had t o s t a y f o r 3 years.
Victor's father came t o America i n 1891 From Denmark, and h i s mother
came i n 1900 from Sweden. They met in Hutto, Texas, and married i n Austin.
When the Danish immigrants came over, they wanted t o farm land on the
Gulf Coast, but the ranchers wouldn't s e l l the land t o them. A committee of
immigrants then went t o Austin, and a b i l l was passed raising the taxes' which
caused the ranchers t o break up their ranches, since they didn't w a n t t o pay
the increase i n taxes. Victor's father was one of the o r i g i n a l s e t t l e r s who
s t a r t e d the community i n Danevang, [Texas] near E l Campo. There is now a
h i s t o r i c a l marker i n Danevang that claims the Danes s e t t l e d there.
Victor s a i d h i s father w a s "quite a pioneer." One time he took a wagon
t o Danevang and h i s mule c u t h i s leg. Victor's father had the mule stand i n a
stream f o r about 12 hours and the cut was healed.
Victor's family then moved t o Taylor, Texas when he was almost seven
years old. (Later] One of Victor's jobs was a s a paper boy. . F i r s t he had to
d e l i v e r papers t o doctors' and lawyers' offices. Then he did a residential
a r e a where he delivered about 250 papers, Victor made $2.50 a week.
Victor graduated from Taylor High School i n 1928. When one of h i s
friends l e f t f o r Port Arthur, Victor took over the job he had i n an i c e cream
factory working from 6 p.m. u n t i l 6 a.m. In the evenings Victor answered the
telephone and then delivered ice cream i n town t o drugstores. Later he'd g e t
calls from out of town places l i k e Bastrop and Elgin that needed ice cream.
Victor would then take the i c e cream t o the s t a t i o n and pack it on the t r a i n .
For one year Victor went t o College i n Lubbock a t Texas Technological
School. There he got 21 meals f o r $ 5 . 0 0 . Every other day though Victor would
eat a half-loaf of bread and a bucket of buttermilk, because then buttermilk
was considered nutritious. Christmas Eve night i n 1928 Victor walked 17 miles
t o g e t home. He t r i e d hitchhiking but nobody picked him up...
I n the f a l l of 1930 Victor went t o the office of Brown and Root t o f i n d
a job. When he went into the o f f i c e , the secretary s a i d they had no jobs
available. But Victor s a i d he wanted t o hear that from Brown himself, so he
sat there waiting from 8:45 u n t i l 5:OO for Brown. During a l l that time,
Victor never l e f t : he J u s t got out of h i s chair t o s t r e t c h a couple of times.
When Victor f i n a l l y saw Brown, Brown said he had t o do something-- "You're the
most patient boy I ' v e met." So Brown offered him a job i n Fort Stockton, and
Victor hitchhiked out there. The j o b was t o break rocks with a sledgehammer
and then he ran a water truck...
Then i n 1931 Victor got a c a l l from Washington, D. C . , with a probable
job i n the House of Representatives. They said i f he could get there before
December 31 he could have the job. Victor hitchhiked t o Washington, D. C . ,
f o r nine days.
When former President Coolidge died, Victor was put i n charge of the
Members' Family Gallery and wasn't supposed t o l e t anyone i n without a t i c k e t
to the memorial services. Then l a t e r he had the same job when Roosevelt was
President. Victor f e l t rather proud when he had t h i s job.
