Harris, Lucile and Donald Burnhope." b. Mentioned in father Isaac Burnhope's obituary of 5 Sep 1953: "Survivors: widow, Bothwell; one son and two daughters, Donald Burnhope, Helper, Mrs. Frances W. (Margurite) Kirkham and Mrs. Lucille B. Swenson, Salt Lake City." c. Mentioned in grandfather Thomas Burnhope's obituary of 4 Apr 1922: "Four granddaughters of the deceased acted as flower bearers, Miss Marguerite Burnhope, Miss Lucile Burnhope, Miss Helen Petersen and Miss Thelma Peterson." 2. Reviewed Rootsweb.com Worldconnect 8 Dec 2002. 3. Lucile wrote her several very detailed and descriptive biographies of several dozen pages from June 1969 through July 1988. I have copies on file of which some details of genealogical interest I here relate. She was born 1 Apr 1904 in Ogden, Utah. She was the third daughter born to Isaac and Anna Marie Christensen Burnhope; Marguerite was first, Florence Ethel was second but died a year and a half before Lucile was born. When Lucile was one month old, her father gave up his job with the railroad and moved to Bothwell, Utah. Bothwell was known first as Point Lookout, later as Roweville, then Bothwell. Isaac had worked for the railroad since he was 10 so to change to farming at 31 was a challenge. The farm size increased and eventually included a 640 dry farm. The peak on the east side of the dry farm looked just like a pyramid and eventually became known as "Ike's Peak" for Isaac. Seven years later Donald, her brother, was born. She attended boarding school at Sacred Heart Academy in Ogden, Utah. She studied music at the McCune School of Music in Salt Lake City; one of her teachers was Edward P. Kimball, tabernacle organist. In June 1925 her mother died at the age of 52; at this time Marguerite was married but Donald and Lucile were still at home. It was a difficult time for her father and he thought of moving; however, after a trip through Southern Utah, he became so homesick that they returned to the old farm where her father lived until he died at the age of 80. Lucile met Don E. Swenson in the Salt Lake City North 18th Ward. While she studied music on scholarship in Chicago, he went to Los Angeles to work. On 28 Jun 1929 they were married in the Salt Lake Temple by David O. McKay. They lived for a short time in Chicago and Los Angeles before making their home in Salt Lake City in the North 18th Ward. Four children were born to them: Don, Carole, Bernice, and Claron. Her husband, Don Edwin, died Sep. 5, 1946 in Salt Lake City and was buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery Sep. 9, 1946; the children at the time were ages five through fifteen. Her boys all served LDS missions and all were married in temples. By 1969, she had 14 grandchildren. Her complete name is Mary Lucile but appears to have always used only Lucile. The home in which she was born was on the same block as her grandparents Tomas and Mary Ann Burnhope who lived at 2264 Madison Ave. in Ogden. She was born at 2246 Madison Ave. She was baptized July 13, 1912 in the Bear River canal about one mile north of their home. She was confirmed the next day in the Bothwell ward. She notes the family would take the train to Ogden for Christmas at her grandparents Thomas and Mary Ann Burnhope's home of which she relates: "Their home at 2264 Madison Avenue was a two story house with an open staircase leading to the upstairs. Grandma's parlor had beautiful English furniture and trinkets from England that were not to be touched, but we could look at them with our hands behind our back. Except for Christmas and very special occasions the parlor was closed. The house was heated with coal stoves, but they did have electric lights and a real bathroom which was a new experience for me. I liked to play on the stairs most of all. My cousins, the Petersens were always there too. They lived in Ogden not far from our grandparents. My Aunt Mary Ann Petersen was my father's only sister, and father was her only brother. They were very close at this time and we always had a wonderful time when we were all at Grandma's house. One event that I always looked forward to at my grandparent's house was on Christmas Eve. After our stockings were all hung up for Santa Claus we had stories, and then Grandma treated us to their English Christmas Eve traditional ceremony. Grandma and grandpa Burnhope were both born in England and lived there until they joined the LDS church and sailed for America in 1868. They met in Ogden and were married in the LDS Endowment House in Salt Lake City on Nov. 18, 1872. There were some English traditions that they continued to enjoy. Grandma would fill a plate with large seeded raisins and pour a small amount of brandy over the top of them. Then grandpa would strike a match and set fire to the raisins and brandy. The flames would go up about a foot. Then each person had to try to get a raisin or two out of the flames. We all succeeded because the fire didn't seem to be hot. The raisins were delicious. When we finished the raisins we had English Christmas cake and a very tiny (about one inch high) glass of what Grandma called her own English wine. I don't know how she made it but it was good. Then the children were sent to bed while the parents and grandparents played checkers and chess until the wee hours. These trips to Ogden were so special. After Grandma died in May 1919 we never again had our English Christmas Eve. Then Grandpa Burnhope came to live with us in Bothwell until he died in March 1922." She notes in early Sept. 1917, her sister Marguerite at age 19 was called on an 18 month mission to the Northwestern States Mission with headquarters in Seattle, Washington. Their parents had not been married in the temple so they all went to the Salt Lake temple on 12 Sep 1917; the parents were endowed and then all were sealed together including the deceased daughter Florence. She notes the following about her children: Don B. fulfilled an LDS mission to the Indian Mission in Arizona and New Mexico in 1951 for two years. Claron fulfilled a mission to the South African Mission in 1961 for two years. Don B., Carole, Bernice, and Claron all attended the Univ. of Utah. Carole married Lynn Williams in the Salt Lake Temple on Aug. 19, 1953. Don B. married Nola Rosell in the Salt Lake Temple June 24, 1954. Bernice married Klaus Guertler in the Logan Temple Sep. 6, 1962. Claron married Carol Gappmayer in the Salt Lake Temple Dec. 17, 1965. Carole and Lynn had four children (Bart was born 9 Jan 1955, Terese 28 Jul 1956, Bret, 20 May 1959, and Steven 2 Feb 1961.) Don B. and Nola had four Childen (Michael born 15 Jul 1956, Daren 31 Jan 1958, Douglas, 22 Sep 1960, and Kendall 28 Mar 1963). Bernice and Klaus had four children (Monika 6 Jul 1963, Hans 28 Oct 1964, Christian 29 Jul 1966, and Andreas 7 Jul 1968). Claron and Carol had three children (Scott 17 Jul 1967 - died 28 Nov 1967, David Claron 27 Oct 1968, Kelly Ann 12 Jul 1970). She references the following biographies which I do not have: a. A short sketch of Lars C. Christensen (her mother's father). He wrote it in Danish and then later dictated it in english to Lucile's mother when the mother was 18. b. Sketches of the lives of Anders C. Christensen and his wife Sophie Marie Christensen (Lucile's mother's grandparents). It was written by Lucile's sister Marguerite. c. Sketch of the life of Isaac Burnhope (Lucile's father). Isaac wrote the first 18 years of his life in 1942 and then Lucile completed the story in 1981. d. Life story of Anna Marie Christensen Burnhope (Lucile's mother). First part was written by Marguerite and then completed by Lucile in 1981. e.

Per "History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield," Donald Lines Jacobus, comp. and ed. pages 380, 381 for Sarah Lockwood: "Sarah, b. 27 Feb 1651/52 (Colonial Records); possibly she was the first wife of Lt. Abraham Adams." Same book, pp. 9, 10: "Abraham Adams, s. of Edward, b. at Fairfield, 9 Sep 1650. D. 9 Aug 1729 in 80th year; 'a worthy founder and liberal benefactor to Trinity Church' (gravestone). He was bapt. at Fairfield Church, 9 Dec. 1694... He married Martha ___, who m. (2) ___ Miller. It is not certain that she was mother of the children. (Mr. Clarence A. Torrey, of Dorchester, MA, rightly draws our attention to the fact that she must have been a second wife because in the agreement of heirs she was to receive two beds she 'brought with her'; and suggests from circumstantial evidence that the other of the Adams children 'may' have been Sarah Lockwood.) Agreement made 10 Sep. 1729 between widow Martha and Children... [6 children listed all of Fairfield] regarding Est. of their father Lt. Abraham Adams." 3.

Note that the following is a partial transcript of the full transcript in the notes of Robert Lockwood; the full article is well written by one of the very best modern genealogists and should be consulted in conjunction with the following notes: "Sarah Lockwood, b.

Fairfield Probate Records 1:65, 67. 72. In a footnote to his account of Abraham Adams, son of Edward Adams of Fairfield, Jacobus reports that "Mr. Clarence A. Torrey of Dorchester, Mass., ... suggests from circumstantial evidence that the mother of the Adams children may have been Sarah Lockwood" (Jacobus, "Old Fairfield," 1:9-10). The "circumstantial evidence" was that Sarah Lockwood was available, that Abraham Adams used the names Deborah and Susannah for daughters, and that the children of Daniel Burr with his first wife (one of whom married a Lockwood) chose Adams as their attorney (letters from CAT to DLJ dated 18 and 19 December 1929, and letter of DLJ to CAT dated 20 December 1929, Folder #2, Correspondence of DLJ and CAT, Connecticut Historical Society." 4.

The periodical "Connecticut Ancestry," vol. 27, no. 1 (Sept. 1984), "The Lockwoods of Norwalk, Connecticut," by Harriet Woodbury Hodge, C.G., pp. 10-11: "Nearly a century ago, in 1889, two misguided compilers, Frederic A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood produced "Descendants of Robert Lockwood, Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America." Modern genealogists realize that nineteenth century family histories often contain errors, and this genealogy is among the most confused; but it continues to be used as a reliable source. In his "History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield," Donald Lines Jacobus put in order the early Lockwoods of that town. In 1978 this compiler undertook a similar task for Stamford Lockwoods with "Some Descendants of Edmund Lockwood (1594-1635) of Cambridge, Massachusetts and his son Edmund Lockwood (c.1625-1693) of Stamford."

| 270 | BIOGRAPHY: 1. Per 13 Dec 2001 email: "If you don't know I feel much closer to the Petersen side of my parents than the Shupe by a long ways. I do know since most of the Shupes are Mormons and have done a great deal of genealogy... My dad's youngest brother Clarence Shupe was very high in the Mormon church. I believe he was one of the if this it the correct wording 12 apostles or deacans under the president of the church. He lived to be 98 and his wife 100 years old and I went out to Utah for their 75th anniversary. My uncle told me because there are about six different spellings of the name Shupe they think they immgrated from Holland. They first settled in Penn. and theen to Virginia and then joined the Mormon church and traveled to Utah." 2. Per 16 Dec 2001 email: "I am sorry to say my father never put a step into a Mormon church as long as I knew him. I never saw him read from a bible or talk to me about religion. My mother told him that even though she was an Episcopalian, she would go to the Mormon church as a family but she would not become a member. So she tried! So I went almost every Sunday to the Episcopal Church even when she didn't go. I was an alter boy and got my God and Country award there when I was a boy scout. I was baptized around 12 years old with my sister and cousin La Rae is my godmother. And a very special one! My father was never told about it because my mother felt he would think she was pushing me and my sister to her church. I believe my father believed in God because he would watch Billy Graham when he was on television, but other than that I have no clue what his beliefs were, yet his youngest brother, Clarence was so high up in the Mormon church. My father was not a very good role model for me in most ways. But I could go on that topic for hours." DEATH: 1. Keith's obituary: "Keith Richard Shupe was born in Ogden, Utah, October 3, 1940. Son of Thelma Alberta (1906-1989) and Heber “Vic” Shupe (1897-1979), he was a middle brother to Warner L. Hansen, (1929-2003), and sister Carole P. Nixon. He attended and graduated from Ogden High School. After graduating from Weber State and the University of Utah with a degree in Journalism with aspirations for sportscasting, he was recruited by Hallmark Cards in Kansas City, MO as a lettering artist where he began his career in graphic design. This is also where he fell in love with “Sally” H. B.; the two married May 8, 1966, in Champaign, IL. Together, with her support he went on to graduate from Art Center College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, CA. He had a long and successful career as a Design Director with firms that created corporate identity branding and packaging which touched the lives and generations of many. Well-known brands included Marriott International hotels and FujiFilm. He worked on national packaging for Dove Bar ice cream, Heath candy bars, and Taco Bell. But the most beloved design by far would be his Andes chocolate mints packaging. Much of his work had great commercial exposure and it was a delight to see his work in a spot while watching the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. A couple of weeks before he died, Keith’s work from over 30 years ago popped up as an obscure gag prop in Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Loki” in the form of a Boku adult juice box. Keith’s pride and joy was being a loving husband and father, raising a son, Geoff, and daughter, Kelly in Glen Ellyn, IL. He always found time between work, family, and his personal activities though often it meant bringing work home to the basement artist studio / laundry room. Keith was at times a shy person who was very driven. He loved to jog, garden, ride his bike, play tennis, go swimming, fire up the grill, and do photography. When he watched sports he could be heard shouting and cheering from two houses away. Keith would drink coffee and read the paper, keep the multiple clocks in the house wound and ticking, and make sure the bird feeders were well-stocked for the birds and squirrels. He also lived for family vacations and time spent with good friends. In 2015 he moved to Seattle and was diagnosed in 2017 with prostate cancer. While living in Assisted Living his cancer metastasized and spread to his lymph nodes and bones. Just this May while feeling “fine”, he chose a natural death over the comfortless side effects of chemotherapy to cherish his short remaining time with those close to him. His health declined quickly in June and he died Wednesday morning on July 7, 2021. Surviving family includes his son, daughter, ex-wife, sister, and several loved members of the extended family. Keith was baptized by The Church of the Good Shepherd in Ogden, UT March 15, 1953, and later worshipped at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Seattle, WA who performed last rites. Keith was well-admired and loved, he will be fondly remembered and missed." A donor to the University of Washington School of Medicine’s Willed Body Program, Keith chose to aid research and education with the purpose of ebbing human suffering. His final resting place will be in Utah alongside his family who preceded him. | Shupe, Keith Richard (I966)

The periodical "Connecticut Ancestry," vol. 45, no. 1 (Aug. 2002), "The Smith Families of Stamford, Connecticut," by Robert Louer, E-mail: vwrjl@att.net "Part 1 Since the founding of Stamford, Connecticut, the Smith name has long been associated with its history. This history begins in 1641 when a small company of settlers set out from the new settlement at Wethersfield, in the Connecticut Colony, for the region known as Rippowam, located in the southwest corner of the New Haven Colony. Rippowam took its name from a small river that flowed through the area. In the previous year twenty-eight individuals who were tired of the division that plagued their little community purchased the right to settle at Rippowam from Nathaniel Turner, agent for the New Haven Colony.[1] Among them was a young man by the name of Henry Smith.[2] He received and settled on three acres of land located east of the river.[3] The following year the new settlement was given the name of Stamford, named after the English town in Lincolnshire. Soon it was apparent that the settlement would be a success as new families began to move into the area in ever increasing numbers. Over the years numerous accounts have been published on the various Smith families of Stamford. These accounts have generally had three things in common, they are undocumented, they are full of errors, and they have been surprisingly incomplete. The hope of this five-part series is to try to resolve some of these problems and to give those researching these families a starting place for further research. Because the Henry Smith family has had the longest and largest presence in the area, the first four parts of this article will deal with this particular family. The fifth part will cover some of the other early Smith families. Not covered are those families that merely moved through the area, or individuals who purchased land but never resided in Stamford. Note: All locations mentioned in this article are in Connecticut unless otherwise indicated. Henry Smith Family Over the years researchers have made unsubstantiated claims as to Henry's origins, and to his possible ancestry. Further complicating the situation has been the confusion of information regarding Henry Smith, of Stamford, and that of the Reverend Henry Smith, of Wethersfield. Early accounts of Henry have suggested that he was a son of Lt. Samuel and Elizabeth (Smith) Smith, of Wethersfield.[4] Recent research has now ruled out any possibility of this being the case. It is now known that Samuel and Elizabeth did not marry until 6 Oct 1624, five years after Henry's supposed birth date.[5] More recent accounts have suggested he is the son of Thomas Smith, of St. Mary Aldermanbury, London, England.[6] Unfortunately no evidence is given to support these claims. Presumably the basis for them is the mention in Thomas Smith's will of a son Henry: "Thomas Smith the elder of Aldermanbury, London, Esq. 24 February 1665, proved 13 June 1666. My two younger sons, Henry and Thomas Smith. My eldest son John Smith, with my consent, did many Mary, one of the daughters of Sir Edmond Wright, knight, late Alderman of the City of London deceased. My daughter Jane was married unto William Gore Esq.; My daughter Martha was married unto Archdale Palmer Esq.; Elizabeth, Margaret and Anne Smyth, three of the daughters of my said son John Smith, not yet married. My grandchild Jane Bennett and her father, Sir Humphrey Bennett, knight. My brother in Law John Robinson Esq., and my brother William Robinson. The poor of St. Margaret Moyses parish in Friday Street, where I was born and christened. To Mr. Edmond Callamy, late minister of Aldermanbury Church, and to Dr. Walker, now minister &c. My three sons to be executors."[7] By the year 1665 when Thomas wrote his will, Henry (of Stamford) had a number of minor children, yet Thomas makes no mention of them, as he had with his son John. In addition Henry had been residing outside of England for over twenty-five years, but no mention of this fact was made either. For the same reason it would seem doubtful that Thomas would have named Henry (of Stamford) to be executor of his estate. These facts would seem to rule out the possibility of Thomas as Henry's father, however, further research is required before such a conclusion can be definitively drawn. A great-grandson of Thomas did arrive in the colonies in the late 1600's. Thomas Palmer, a grandson of the Archdale and Martha Palmer mentioned in the will, he married Abigail Hutchinson and resided in Boston, Massachusetts.[8] It has also been suggested that Henry (of Stamford) was the twenty-two year old Henry Smith listed among the passengers who sailed from London to Virginia on the Primrose on 27 Jul 1635. Once again, no facts are provided to support this conclusion, so one must assume it was due to his age, and the timing of the ships arrival being approximately correct. The presence on board the Primrose of eighteen year old Thomas Smith, and twenty-one year old Margaret Clark may also have contributed to this conclusion. It is claimed that they settled at Watertown, Massachusetts.[9] Since there is no record of a Henry Smith in Watertown, perhaps this led some to the conclusion that he removed to the new settlement of Wethersfield, which was being established at this time. Then, with the appearance of Henry Smith (of Stamford) at about the same time the outcome was obvious -- the two men were assumed to be identical. So it would appear that the assumption of Henry Smith, of Stamford, as the passenger on the Primrose, is based on the claim that Thomas Smith and Margaret Clark had also settled at Watertown, Massachusetts. Thomas and Margaret's appearance places the Primrose at the right place at the right time. So did the Thomas Smith and Margaret Clark listed on the passenger manifest settle at Watertown? There is plenty of evidence to indicate that they did not. As previously mentioned the age of the Thomas Smith who sailed from London on the Primrose in 1635 was recorded on the passenger list as eighteen years old, this would make his birth date about 1617. However, the Thomas Smith who resided at Watertown, Massachusetts, died at the age of ninety-two, on the tenth of March 1692 [1692/3], which would mean he was born around 1601.[10] With a discrepancy of seventeen years in their ages there is little possibility that the two men are the same individuals. Regarding Margaret Clark, it is alleged that she was the wife of twenty-seven year old William Clark, who had sailed from England on 15 May 1635 on the Plain Joan.[11] In fact there were two William Clarks who resided in Watertown, Massachusetts. The first arrived around 1630, but soon after removed to Ipswich, Massachusetts. He would sail back to England around 1635.[12] The second William is first mentioned around 1639, and it is this William who was married to a woman named Margaret.[13] They removed to Woburn, Massachusetts, where he died on 1 Mar 1682, and she died on 11 Oct 1694.[14] It is now known that Margaret, the wife of William Clark, was in fact the widow of John Tomson.[15] John Tomson, of Watertown, died on 28 Dec 1638, at the age of thirty.[16] Thus, Margaret must have married William Clark around 1639, and therefore could not have been the Margaret Clark listed on the 1635 passenger manifest. A cursory review of some of the other passengers on the Primrose could find no indication that any of them had resided in Watertown, or for that matter in Massachusetts. Therefore, there is no evidence that the Primrose disembarked its passengers at Watertown. Perhaps a more thorough investigation of the dozens of other passengers listed may yet confirm that the Primrose did in fact disembark its passengers in New England, but until that fact is established, there is no reason to assume that Henry (of Stamford) was on board the ship. So when all is said and done, nothing is known of Henry prior to his arrival in Stamford. There is the possibility he may have been in Wethersfield as early as 1635, when he fought in the Pequot War. Perhaps he traveled there with the original party, however, to date no evidence has been found. For his service in the war the General Assembly of Connecticut granted him eighty acres of land on 11 May 1671.[17] First Generation Henry1 Smith, b. say 1619 in England, d. probably 5 Jul 1687 at Stamford.[18] He m1) ___,[19] b. say 1621 probably in England, d. before 21 Jan 1664 probably at Stamford.

Eardeley erroneously suggests she married Joseph Brown. The first name of Joseph's wife is known to have been Mary. Presumably the basis for Eardeley's claim is that Thomas Lawrence in his will called him his brother-in-law. Because Thomas also states in his will that his sister Mary had married a Slawson, Eardeley apparently assumed the relationship mentioned must have been through Thomas' marriage to Hannah Smith. However, the reason Thomas called him his brother-in-law was that Joseph was his stepbrother. Thomas' mother Martha had married Francis Brown, father of Joseph Brown.) 38. Stamford VR, 1:98."

Nathaniel Webb, of Stamford; Second wife's: John Lockwood, b. Nov 9th, 1757, m. Letitia Lockwood. Charles Lockwood, b. Jan 14th, 1760. Note: Daniel Lockwood was a man of wealth and importance, he owned 1000 acres of land in his native town, his possessions extending from river to river. He left the bulk of his property to his elder son John. It sounds strangely to say 100 years after Daniel Lockwood's death that he owned slaves in Connecticut, but such was the case; it is stated in family tradition, that one of his slaves tried to get him into a lonely place at night in order that he might kill him. Greenwich: Daniel Lockwood was a stanch churchman, and as such obeyed the teachings of his mother, the Church, which interpreted literally the words 'Fear God, honor the King,' so when the Revolutionary War broke out he remained loyal to King George, although he took no active part in suppressing what from his point of view was rebellion. His Presbyterian neighbors, however, were not so liberal-minded, and drove away his cattle, carried off his handsome looking-glasses with other household furniture, and even inflicted personal injury upon him, one of them, Capt. Sam. Lockwood, breaking his teeth. Charles Lockwood, second son of Daniel, than a lad of 18, resented these indignities, and, arming himself with a stout stick, at once repaired to the house of Captain Sam. for satisfaction, and finding him, said, 'I have come to get a receipt for your knocking my fathers's teeth down his throat,' and raised his club; at which the Capt. retired behind a chair which he elevated. The descending club broke the chair into fragments. Then the Captain shouted at the top of his voice 'murder', which soon brought in Whig neighbors to the rescue. The young avenger of his father's wrongs, knowing that they were about to take him prisoner, reteated to a corner of the room and said, 'Gentlemen, I have no wish to harm a hair of your heads, but by the living God the first man that lays his hand on me is a dead man'; at which the men, five of six in number, separated on either side and allowed him to pass through their midst out of the house unharmed. He soon after thought it prudent to go to Long Island, where he remained until the close of the war.

| 274 | BIOGRAPHY: 1. Per email of 24 Dec 2001 from KeithShupe@aol.com: In referring to a conversation with Warner Hansen, Lawrence's son, Keith says: "He said that my telling him that his dad had gone to prison was a complete surprise. He thought mom divorced him about a year after he was born because he has a photo of his dad holding him as a baby. He said they were both 22 years old when they got married, but never knew where they were married but it wasn't Ogden. He said he has a photo of him in a military uniform and thought it was taken sometime during WW2. He said a cousin of his wife, Norma, was a Mormon and tried to track him down using the LDS library resources. All he could find was that he was adopted from a I believe a Denver orphanage. The [birth] father had a history of alcoholism and that he got a very young woman from a very wealthy family pregnant and when the baby was born he was given to the orphanage. He said that they used the same last name for all the orphans, and he thought it was Brown. He said that after he had grown up with the wealth that Mr. and Mrs. Hansen had and then lost in the stock market crash of '29, that he heard he went kinda berzerk and became not so nice of a guy. His new adoptive parents were Lawrence (Lars) and Caroline Hansen. Her maiden name was Caroline Jensen and she had a brother Simeon Jensen. Both her and her brother are buried in a graveyard in Huntsville, Utah. Dates of birth or death I don't know. The adoptive parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hansen were one of the most wealthy families in Ogden, living in a mansion that still exists in Ogden. Most of their fortune went south when the stockmarket crashed in 1929. Not long after that the two of them were hit by a train while in their car and Mr. Hansen died, but Mrs. Hansen was hurled from the car about 50 yards, knocking her shoes off her, but survived, but it did damage her hearing and had to wear a hearing aid afterwards. She died in a little cabin in my father's trailer park when I was in college and working in the summer for the forest service near Priest Lake, Idaho and couldn't come to the funeral. She was a very kind woman and was like a grandmather to Carole and me and we always called her grandma Hansen. I know she felt close to my mother because of the way her son, Lawrence had treated her. What little money she had when she died she passed on to my mother. Where he was imprisoned or for what my mother never told Warner, myself, or Carole. Strange as it seems she kept a box of letters in a shoe box he wrote to her from prison. Carole told me that and found that out when she moved from her apartment to the Gardens Nursing Home in Odgen. Whatever he did to my mom effected her for the rest of her life and she kept that bit of her history to herself as far as her children and my father were concerned. See, I told you this was going to be harder to trace than the one armed man from the 'Fugitive'." 2.

| 275 | BIOGRAPHY: 1. Per email of 7 Jan 2002 from Grant Smith 2. Parents: Henry Phillip Schuetz and Catharina Thuring per Ancestral File v4.19. 3. Carolyn Smith lists last name as "Seitzinger" which was her married name from her first husband prior to marriage to Rufus. 4. Per email of 7 Jan 2002 from digger_grant@hotmail.com: "I had the privilege of knowing Bonita 'Nita' as many people called her, and she was a wonderful person. She was never baptized into the LDS church although I've heard her support the church on many occasions. Apparently she was the only mom that most of Rufus and Nellie's children knew." 5. Biography provided by Don Smith, 2003: "Granny. Bonita Sheetz was born on the 17 January, 1899 in Colorado City, Colorado. She was the seventh child of Henry Phillip Sheetz and Katherine Marie Tierring, who were Immigrants from Prussia. Henry and Katherine were married in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he was employed as a glass blower. Later they moved to Colorado City, Colorado where Bonita was born. Granny, as we called her, remembered as a little girl that her father worked as a gardener on an estate owned by a man named General Palmer. Once in a while her father would take Granny with him when he went to work. General Palmer had many Colored People working for him and Bonita enjoyed playing with the little colored girls who lived on the estate. While living in Colorado City, they lived in a two story house about two miles out of town. It was here that her father had a greenhouse which was a hobby of his. It also provided a partial income for the family. Grandpa Sheetz loved working in the greenhouse raising flowers and vegetables which he would sell. He not only raised flowers, but he was also a florist of sorts, he arranged the flowers in bouquets to sell. During this time in Bonita's life, her father would make bouquets of sweet peas and then put Bonita on a street car that would take her into a tourist town called Manitou. The town was close by and there she would sell her little bouquets of sweet peas to the tourists. Grandpa Sheetz also traded vegetables that he raised to a grocery store owner in return for groceries. When Bonita was small, her father used to take her with him in the evenings when he went to the Schmitz Bar. While he enjoyed a couple of mugs of beer, Bonita would sit at a small table with him and eat pretzels. When it was time to go home Grandpa would get a little pail of beer to carry home with him. This was something grandma Sheets didn't approve of. Around 1910, a real estate agency by the name of Jackson and Rice enticed Grandpa Sheetz to come to Bloomfield, New Mexico and look at some property they had for sale. Grandpa Sheetz and his daughter Matilda and husband combined resources and purchased twenty acres where Denny Knudsen now lives. Bonita's father and her brother Carl came to Bloomfield first and built a little one room house for them to live in. About a week before the rest of the family moved to Bloomfield, Charles Miller, Matilda's husband, loaded their furniture and a team of horses into a box car of a train and brought every thing they owned to he new home. A week later Grandma Sheetz, Bonita and her sister boarded a train called the 'Red Apple Flyer' and started on their journey to their new home. On the 17 March 1911 they arrived in Aztec, New Mexico, where they were met by Grandpa Sheetz and Charles Miller. They had come with a team and wagon to take them home. It had snowed during the night and was still snowing and it took all day to travel the eleven miles from Aztec to Bloomfield. The first school that Bonita attended was in one room of the old Swire House which was located where the new baseball park is now. Bonita later went to school in one room of the old Giacomalli Home, where she continued her schooling until a small stone school was built in the approximate location of where Farmer's Market now stands. Granny said her dad believed every one should work, if the children ran out of anything else to do, they were required to go to the fields and beak up clods with little wooden mallets their father had made for such occasions. Grandpa Sheetz was president of the ditch company in Bloomfield when construction of the Citizen's Ditch started. Granny word as a freighter and hauled much of the cement and timbers used in the ditch construction. She was always a hard worker and was very ambitious. By this time Bonita was a young woman with blue eyes, brown hair and stood 5 feet 4 and a half inches tall. She always had a very good sense of humor. This was one of her qualities that we all enjoyed and admired about her. Grandpa Sheetz was a very strict father, and as fathers and mothers go, were always fighting the ever-changing fashions as parent do today. Granny told a story about when she was in her teens the girls used to wear long dresses with splits up the side, which met with much disapproval from her parents. They always made sure before she went to dances, that her skirt or dress was sewn up completely, but when she got to the dance she would take the basting out and dance all night, but before returning home she would baste the dress back up with needle and thread she had taken to the dance with her. On the 11th of May 1917 in Aztec, New Mexico, she was married to James Tate Seitzinger. When they were first married they lived in a tent on the Bill Sheetz place, which is the old gray house located next to the Bloomfield Arroyo. During deer hunting season Granny and Grandad would take a team and wagon and travel to the Jemez Mountains east of Cuba, where they would pitch a tent and hunt deer for a few days. Granny said that it was sometime so cold that hen she washed diapers and hung them out to dry they would freeze before she could get them all hung out. While they lived in Bloomfield, grandad farmed. Here two daughters were born to them. Louise Marie and Helen Malen. Later they moved to Alhambra, California, where grandad worked in the carpentry trade. It was here that their two sons were born, James Tate Jr. And Gordon Leonard. Very happy times where enjoyed by the family while they lived in California, but due to the depression and no work, the family was forced to move back to Bloomfield, where he helped grandad Leonard Delong Seitzinger farm his place. Granny and grandad were later divorced and in 1936. Bonita married Rufus Adair. B then they had acquired the Sheetz farm for taxes. Granny worked very hard helping Papa Adair on the farm and helped him raise some of his children who were still at home. One time when Granny was helping papa put up the hay, she picked up some hay with her pitch fork and she saw what she thought was a kitten, so she nudged it with her pitch fork to make it move, it was then that she discovered that it wasn't a kitten at all, but a skunk. It sprayed her right in the race, on her hair and in her mouth. She said her clothes looked like she had spilled clorox on them, as it took all the color out of them. Of course she had to burn her cloths after this little episode. It was during those years while married to Rufus that she went to work for the Bloomfield schools as cook. Her first job was at the old Rio Vista School, where she cooked and served meals in the old 'cook shack,' still standing on Don and Carolyn's place. After 23 years of marriage, in Apr 1959, Rufus passed away. Later Granny married Victor Motto who had been her very first sweetheart. Several years after she married Vic she retired from her job, where she had worked for twenty years. This ended her working career that had started as a small child selling sweet peas to tourists. Granny and Vic spent their retirement years living in Bloomfield, raising roses and many other beautiful flowers. Their yard was always a show place with terraced benches ablaze with color for all to enjoy. Vic passed away in November of 1985. This ended a happy marriage of more than 25 years. Granny Motto as she was called has lived a long and colorful life with many stories to tell for those who would listen. She was one fo the oldest living pioneers of the Bloomfield area and had witnessed many changes in her life time. She know both joy and sorrow, but through it all she endured to be 97 years old. To the end she was an example to all of us with her eternal optimism and zest for life. These two most important assets never diminished throughout the years. We feel truly blessed to have known her. Granny passed form this life on April 21, 1996. She was preceded in death by husband Vic Motto, one daughter, Louise Sategna and three grandchildren. Left to mourn her passing are tow sons James Seitzinger Jr. And wife Lou of Bloomfield, Gordon Seitzinger and wife Jessie of Farmington. One daughter Helen Adair of Bloomfield, 12 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren and 8 great-great grandchildren and numerous friends and relatives." BIRTH: 1.

Estate: Andrew Ward was granted a ten-acre homestall in Watertown, probably in 1633 [WaBOP 99]. In the Inventory of Grants and the Composite Inventory, this homestall belonged to Nicholas Busby, who also held many parcels granted to Edmond Sherman, father-in-law or brother-in-law of Andrew Ward [WaBOP 50, 99, 135]. Apparently Edmond Sherman acquired the homestall from Ward upon his removal to Wethersfield, and based on the proprietary rights accompanying the homestall received further grants in Watertown, which he then sold to Busby. In the Wethersfield land inventory on 24 March 1640/1 Andrew Ward held eight parcels of land: homelot of four acres; fourteen acres and two roods in the great meadow; four acres and three roods of great meadow and swamp; two acres and three roods in the back lots; eight acres of dry swamp; six acres of wet swamp; fifty-four acres in the West Field; and two hundred sixty-four acres on the east side of Connecticut River [WetLR 1:250].

Associations: Early accounts of the origin of Andrew Ward claimed that the family was from Homersfield, Suffolk, but no evidence of the family has been found there. Jacobus suggested searching in the area of Dedham, Essex, since that was the home of Ward's wife [FOOF 1:643-44]. Jacobus also noted a clue pointing to a Ward family of Faxton, Northamptonshire [NYGBR 44:119-21]. Comments: On 2 July 1640 Samuel Smith sued "Andrew Waird," but we do not learn the cause or outcome [RPCC 12]." 3.

The following undated paper was written late 1969 in Nice, France by Catherine Werblovsky Olympieff (also known as Ekaterina Werblovskaya Olympieva) at the request of Patrick Landau through his aunt Alice Nikitina. Patrick's father, Vladimir Landau, even though he was Catherine's cousin, had less knowledge on the family then Catherine. Catherine was the granddaughter of Edouard and Rebecca Herzenberg. The letter was written a couple of years before Catherine's death after she entered into an assisted care facility in Nice. The paper was recently found among personal items previously gathered about 1969 by her daughter Irene Nadia de Lanskoy Petersen. Portions of the letter were written in three languages: English, French, and Russian. Irene, in transcribing the letter, notes that the letter was hard to follow and to make sense of. Irene's transcription dated 31 Jul 2007 with her notes added in [ ]. "What concerns the father and mother of our mother's: Mother's father: Edouard Ocipovitch Herzenberg [or Gerzenberg] Edward son of Joseph Herzenberg born: in Mitava [or Mittau] not far ___, Baltic Provinces - not far from Riga. He died at 76 years of age (had diabetes and malaria) from lung congestion after flu. His wife was his cousin. Rebecca Herzenberg also married a first cousin. I am not sure of the name of her father; she died in Moscow when I was 6 years old (70 years ago). [Death would be approximately 1899?] They were probably married in Mitawa and came to Moscow young, because all their children were born in Moscow. The eldest 1) Elizabeth 2) Sonja [or Sonia] (Sofia) mother of Manja or Mania who now lives in Moscow, who had a sister Nadja or Nadia who was born in Moscow. Sonia's husband was Adolf Schneider - son of Aaron Schneider - who had 3 more sons: Nicolas, Alexander, Serge and a daughter Elizabeth Schneider. She got married with Martin Behr (English nationality); they had two children and lived in Moscow. Mrs. Elizabeth Behr died in London (after the Russian Revolution she lived in France, later in England.) Her brother Adolf Schneider was a brother-in-law of our mother's of course.) [This is a repeat of the above.] The Behrs had 2 children. Elisabeth Behr died in London (probably her husband Martin Behr died before.) Mrs. Behr's daughter Olga died in London about a year ago [1968-69?], her brother George Behr still lives in London is married (has 1 daughter who is married too and has 2 boys, 8 and 7. So my mother Elisabeth was the eldest daughter of Edward and Rebecca Herzenberg born in Moscow like her sister Sonia, the next sister Flora born in Moscow. Flora, married Joseph Offenbacher, had one son Lotar (my first cousin as well as yours). She, her husband, and son died in Germany during the war of Hitler (son Lothar). [Irene notes that another family account says that Lothar committed suicide on account of the war.] [His father] Joseph Offenbacher had an older brother Vasily [William or Wilhelm] Offenbacher who married a cousin of our mother's - Fanny, daughter of Abra[ha]m (whom all children of Edward Herzenberg used to call Uncle Abraham.) He was the husband of Grandfather Edward Herzenberg's sister Theresa. His family name was also like all: Herzenberg. Theresa Herzenberg had many children - daughter Fanny, sons Ludwig, Harry, and 2 other sons and another daughter Sophia married to another Herzenberg (all those marriages were between cousins) who had three children, Robby (Robert) who lives in Sweden and 2 daughters Clara and Roberta (died in Riga - Bolshevik Revolution). [I am not sure if Clara and Roberta are correct for this family grouping.] After Flora Herzenberg, the 4th daughter was my Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg-Landau]. Then there was another one Genga (Eugenie) married Harry Taube from Riga - were killed by Hitler's army. She was the 5th daughter of Edward Herzenberg. The 6th was Lilja [Lilia] (1st wife of Uncle Max Landau - died in Davos, Switzerland from TB.) Then was another daughter Milja, died very young (she was the 7th daughter). The youngest daughter Tonya [Tonia] died in Moscow. Then there were two brothers, the oldest Ivan (John) married a French young girl from Mussidan, Dordogne, France. She was daughter of the Mayor of that town. Died in the north of Russia where - she was sent sick and was sent with her to Mourmansk (north of Russia). Uncle Vanja's [Vania, Ivan, John all same name wife Lydia died there [note her maiden name was Lydie Buisson]. Uncle Vanja died too in Bolshevik Revolution. Their 3 children: Micha (Michel) died probably in Moscow; his brother Andrei (Andre) Herzenberg and Suzanne Hindzee (Herzenberg) - 1st husband (French) Volant. She has a daughter in Toronto married in Toronto (Alja [or Alice Nikitina] knew her) who has two children, boy and girl. The father's family name is A. [Albert?] Statter - wife Lydie (Suzanne's daughter) - son Albert. [Irene's note: last known address was 33 Stonegate Road, Toronto, Canada, M8Y-1V8; phone 416-251-6295.] There was yet other families related to us through our mother's. It was a well known dentist. His name was Kovarsky. His wife was the cousin of our mother's. They had a lot of children - 3 brothers Misha (Michael), Leva (Leon), 2 daughters Choura (Alexandra). Chura who now is same age as Suzanne [Herzenberg Hindzee] - the only one alive. I forget the name of the eldest brother deceased. Manja (Mania) in Moscow knows more about that family. What was the name of the mother cousin of our mother's-probably it was yet another of the Herzenberg family. As Alja [Alice Nikitina] will be going to Moscow she will be able to find out more form Manja [Mania]. Then there was yet another family related to the wife of our grandfather through the husband or wife Idelson. There was a girl Lisa Idelson and her brother. I think that Manja must know something about them. They lived in Moscow. I used to go see them with my mother when I was about 8 or 10 years old. Now George Behr has written from London thanking me for my sympathy condolences on account of the death of his sister Olga Behr. She must have been older than 78 years. he thought that his aunt on his father's side, Nina Karlovna died in Moscow, as well as his cousin Leija, but I think it is relatives on the side of his father Bahr, and the cousin is perhaps of the Schneider family (it is possible that the cousin is still living). All these people lived in Moscow. Now what concerns the Packschwer family. The one that came to see you with the Vietnamese wife has passed away. His name was Julien Packschwer born in Vitebesk, Russia. He was 72. His younger brother Saveijn (Sahva) engineer in London named himself Packshaw, died in England 3 weeks before Julien, leaving a widow (2nd marriage) and 2 children. It was the death of his younger brother that caused reaction on Julien Packshwer. He died 3 weeks after him. He was found on a street in Nice, France with a cerebral hemorrhage-fell in the street. Police took him to the hospital St. Rock where he died at 19 hours in the evening and remained in a coma. His car 2 CV (small) stayed in the parking where he had left it. It was only his Vietnamese wife [Mado] returning from Saigon 1 month after his death that was able to retrieve that car from the parking. Yet another day or two, it would have been impounded. But as it was the widow herself then came. They did not charge her anything. But as the car was her husband's-she has to wait by inheritance law to be able to sell it and divide up in 4 parts to his children. The eldest son of another marriage Leon is an eye doctor in Paris, then 3 other children. Oldest Robert in Montreal, CA; another son in ___ was in the navy for 3 years. The oldest was in the Air force, married a girl from Morocco - they are going to have a child soon. The daughter Irene married, has a little boy, the husband is serving in the military; they live in Cayrons near Vence, France in the Packshwer house. The widow/mother Mado inherited ¼ of the sum, the children ¾ divided in 4 for each of the 4 children. Through a real estate in Vence, Julien's house of 1000 sq. meters is worth 18 million francs. If the children keep the house, they will in turn need to give on fourth of the cost to the widow who also has the right to half of his monthly pension of 30,000 francs. She came to see me day before yesterday and told me all these details. So here you have it-the relatives. The mother of the Packshwer father was 1st cousin of our mother's through the daughter of the sister of our grandfather Edward Herzenberg maiden name Theresa Herzenberg died in Nice, born I think in Mitawa [Mitau], Baltic Provinces. She was buried with her husband in Nice at the Caucade cemetery. Now I add what George Behr wrote from London that his wife Janet has seen Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg] in Monte Carlo, then he wrote about his cousin in Moscow who he thinks has passed away (he is going to find out about it from Manja-he asked their address in Monaco). She was the daughter of the oldest sister Polina Aronovna of his mother. Here is what concerns that family... [Balance of letter missing]." 3. Manuscript in possession of Michael Landau of Monte Carlo as of 18 Sep 2023. Family history memories of Alice Landau also known as “Nikitina,” who was the sister of Vladimir Landau and the daughter of Anna Herzenberg. Translation is from French from two handwritten pages on one sheet of paper. Patrick Landau, Nikitina’s nephew, had asked her to write down what she recalled of the family history and descendants. The description is written after January 1970 because she writes that Constantin-Pierre died in January 1970. Editorial comments are [bracketed]. “[Page 1] My father’s side: The father of my father was called Adolphe and he was born I think at Czenstohova (Poland) in 1830; he married around 1953 [misstated for 1853] my grandmother, who was named Régine. They had 4 sons and one daughter. The eldest son (1855) was Julien (Julian) born in Czenstohova who married Fanny Schaskolski, born in Riga in 1863 [handwriting garbled, may be 1865]. They had 2 sons: The youngest one Constantin-Pierre, born in Petersburg in 1893, married in 1912 with Miss Banzer had a son Youri (George) born in 1914 who is married and lives in Toulouse [France]. He had 2 sons. Constantin-Pierre remarried to Miss Tronsevitch and again another time [his third]. He died in Belgium in January 1970. The first son of Julien, Theodor was born in 1890. He married a woman from Vienna in 1943 and had a daughter. Theodor died in 1965. The second son of Adolph, Gustave was born in Czenstohova and went to the USA before the war in 1914. He had 7 sons and one daughter. I know 3 sons: Adam was born in Warsaw in 1892, Rom[?] born in Warsaw in 1894 and Walter born in New York in 1906. I don’t know the others. The third son, my father Maximilian was born April 1st 1870 in Czenstohova and died in Odessa in 1919 (added in between lines). He married Anne Herzenberg in 1899, born in 1978 [miswritten, 1878] in Moscow and had a daughter Alice-Régine [Nikitina] born in 1900 February 21st and Vladimir born in 1902 March 29 both in St. Petersburg. Vladimir, your father, married in 1945 with Miss Janine Regnard born in 1916 in Paris and you were born at Boulogne s/Seine [Boulogne-sur-Seine] September 5, 1945. The 4th son of Adolph – Stanislas was born in 1876 at Lodz. He was married to Miss Lidia ? and had 3 sons: John born in 1905, Bronislav born in 1907 and Anton born in 1914. Stanislas and Lidia were killed in Poland. Their sons were living in France. The daughter of Adolph: Evelyn was born in 1878 at Lodz (Poland) and married a Russian general Avinovitzki in 1903. Both are dead, I don’t know where or when. The only living parent [relative] that I know of is Nicolas Landau, antiquary in Paris who is the son of my father’s cousin. He is 80 years old and I think he can give more information on the Landau family! My mother’s side: The father of my mother was named Edouard Herzenberg. He was born around 1845 and died in 1910 in Moscow. He was married, but I think the name of my grandmother was Herzenberg too. She died in 1904 in Moscow. They had 7 daughters and 2 sons: 1) Sophie, the eldest born in 1863, married had 2 daughters Marie and Nadia. Nadia is dead and Marie lives in Moscow. She is married and has a married daughter, who has a daughter. [Page 2] 2nd daughter Elizabeth born in 1865 in Moscow, married Adolph Werblovsky and had a daughter Catherine who married in 1913 Victor Buzkoy who died in England in 1945. Their son Arik was born in St. Petersburg in 1914, he is married to Julie and has a son and a daughter and lives in Malta. Catherine lives in Nice. Elisabeth died in Nice in 1950 and Adolph in 1938. 3rd daughter Hélène born in 1867 Moscow, married Ossip Offenbacher and had a son Lothar born in 1896. Hélène died in 1919 in Berlin and Ossip later. Lothar disappeared in Germany. 4th daughter Egenie [Eugenia] married Leon Taube from Riga and was born in 1876 in Moscow and died in 1930 in Moscow. No children. 5th daughter Lilia: born in 1877, died in 1897 in Davos. 6th daughter Anne: my mother born in 1878 married Maximillian Landau in 1898 and had 2 children Alice born on Feb. 21, 1900, and Vladimir March 29, 1902. Maximillian Landau died in Odessa in 1919 (January) and Anne died in 1961 in Monte-Carlo. 7th daughter Antoinette: born in 1885 and died in 1905. 1st son Ivan: born in 1870 married Lidia (French) in 1898 and had 3 children: Michel born in 1900, André born in 1901 and Susan born in 1903. Michel died in 1935, André lives in Moscow. Susan lives in Menton. Ivan died in Siberia in 1930 and Lidia too. André had a son and Susan married a Volant, a daughter Lidia married in Canada to an Austrian man. She has a son and daughter. 2nd son Paul: born in 1872 married to Natalie, one daughter. Lives in Moscow.” | Offenbacher, Lothar or Lotharie (I3878)

See his history in his notes in this database for an extensive recounting of their travels. Photos of her passport on file with Kerry Petersen. The following article, dated 9 Dec 1917 from a Washington DC newspaper, is also on file with Kerry and contains a photo of Catherine with the following: "[Photo subtext:] Newcomer in Foreign Colony. Mme. Victor P. Butzkoy, Wife of the Capt. Butzkoy of the Russian embassy." Another photo caption: "Mme. Butskoy, wife of Capt. Victor P. Butskoy, of the Russian Army, who is in Washington on war work." [Article:] Russians Likely To Be Popular Social Additions. I met a lonely little couple the other day, strangers in a strange land, but I prophesy that they won't be lonely long, after society once discovers them, for they are both charming and awfully good looking. They are Captain and Mme. Butzskoi, of Russia. He is here in association with some special work for the embassy. Both are young, both very good looking, speak English perfectly, and are quite sociable. He has been decorated twice "for valor," has been wounded several times,and has done a lot of interesting things. I am told his hobby is riding; that he is a marvelous horseman. They have an apartment at the Marlborough just now, but will move next week to the Sheridan. They expect to be in Washington all winter. [The article continues describing another couple.]" The following is more about the above article from a research librarian (serref@loc.gov) at the Library of Congress per an email dated 7 Apr 2011 addressed to Chris Petesen: "Since the images are identified as being created by Harris & Ewing, they were likely published in one of the Washington, D.C. newspapers - for example, the Washington Post, the Evening Star, the National Tribune, the Washington Times, etc. In the time I had available, I searched a few different resources, including Chronicling America and our subscriptions to ProQuest Historical Newspapers and America's Historical Newspapers. I was able to find the second image, "Wife of Russian Attache," in the December 9, 1917 issue of the Washington Post. I can send you this article in a separate email. I was not able to find the other image or text in this issue of the Washington Post, which leads me to believe that these clippings may have come from multiple newspapers. In my search of Chronicling America [The Washington Times, December 10, 1917, FINAL EDITION, Page 10, Image 10], I was able to find this article about Mme. Buitzkoy, although it is different from any of the information you have (this link has been shortened): < http://bit.ly/hFHBJb It looks like the text "Russians Likely to Be Popular Social Additions" may have come from the social section of the Washington Times [The Washington Times, September 30, 1917, FINAL EDITION, Page 14, Image 14], since they use similar fonts/text arrangements. I was able to find this text here (this link has been shortened): < http://bit.ly/eO4JsU The first image was likely published in the social section as well, though it may have come from a different paper than the Post or Times. Something I might mention is that while it is likely that all three items were published around the same time, they may have been published earlier or later, so you may need to search items from 1917 and include 1918 to find the items. I went to the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, where the Harris and Ewing Collection is held, to look at their subject list(s). I was not able to find the name "Butzkoy" or "Buitzkoy" (or other variations) in the list, or in the biographic files in the Reading Room. I don't think that this will be a useful resource to search for the remaining image, as the image will not be accessible without indexing. I might recommend that you continue to browse additional Washington, D.C. newspapers through Chronicling America, or see if you are able to request microfilm copies of other newspapers via interlibrary loan at your local library. I would recommend searching the second half of 1917/first half of 1918, as this is most likely the time period the second photo was published. You can search for additional Washington D.C. newspapers by using the directory on Chronicling America.

Lived at 5 Rue Place Vieille, Vence, France, circa 1959 when the author of this database, Kerry Petersen, was age five. 3. Last name Verblovski (russian) or Werblovsky/Werbowsky (french). Catherine also spelt as Cathaerine. 4. Posted photos of letters, passport, and other information can be seen on the Internet. See Irene's notes for private site. 5. The following undated paper was written late 1969 in Nice, France by Catherine Werblovsky Olympieff (also known as Ekaterina Werblovskaya Olympieva) at the request of Patrick Landau through his aunt Alice Nikitina. Patrick's father, Vladimir Landau, even though he was Catherine's cousin, had less knowledge on the family then Catherine. Catherine was the granddaughter of Edouard and Rebecca Herzenberg. The letter was written a couple of years before Catherine's death after she entered into an assisted care facility in Nice. The paper was recently found among personal items previously gathered about 1969 by her daughter Irene Nadia de Lanskoy Petersen. Portions of the letter were written in three languages: English, French, and Russian. Irene, in transcribing the letter, notes that the letter was hard to follow and to make sense of. Irene's transcription dated 31 Jul 2007 with her notes added in [ ]: "What concerns the father and mother of our mother's: Mother's father: Edouard Ocipovitch Herzenberg [or Gerzenberg] Edward son of Joseph Herzenberg born: in Mitava [or Mittau] not far ___, Baltic Provinces - not far from Riga. He died at 76 years of age (had diabetes and malaria) from lung congestion after flu. His wife was his cousin. Rebecca Herzenberg also married a first cousin. I am not sure of the name of her father; she died in Moscow when I was 6 years old (70 years ago). [Death would be approximately 1899?] They were probably married in Mitawa and came to Moscow young, because all their children were born in Moscow. The eldest 1) Elizabeth 2) Sonja [or Sonia] (Sofia) mother of Manja or Mania who now lives in Moscow, who had a sister Nadja or Nadia who was born in Moscow. Sonia's husband was Adolf Schneider - son of Aaron Schneider - who had 3 more sons: Nicolas, Alexander, Serge and a daughter Elizabeth Schneider. She got married with Martin Behr (English nationality); they had two children and lived in Moscow. Mrs. Elizabeth Behr died in London (after the Russian Revolution she lived in France, later in England.) Her brother Adolf Schneider was a brother-in-law of our mother's of course.) [This is a repeat of the above.] The Behrs had 2 children. Elisabeth Behr died in London (probably her husband Martin Behr died before.) Mrs. Behr's daughter Olga died in London about a year ago [1968-69?], her brother George Behr still lives in London is married (has 1 daughter who is married too and has 2 boys, 8 and 7. So my mother Elisabeth was the eldest daughter of Edward and Rebecca Herzenberg born in Moscow like her sister Sonia, the next sister Flora born in Moscow. Flora, married Joseph Offenbacher, had one son Lotar (my first cousin as well as yours). She, her husband, and son died in Germany during the war of Hitler (son Lothar). [Irene notes that another family account says that Lothar committed suicide on account of the war.] [His father] Joseph Offenbacher had an older brother Vasily [William or Wilhelm] Offenbacher who married a cousin of our mother's - Fanny, daughter of Abra[ha]m (whom all children of Edward Herzenberg used to call Uncle Abraham.) He was the husband of Grandfather Edward Herzenberg's sister Theresa. His family name was also like all: Herzenberg. Theresa Herzenberg had many children - daughter Fanny, sons Ludwig, Harry, and 2 other sons and another daughter Sophia married to another Herzenberg (all those marriages were between cousins) who had three children, Robby (Robert) who lives in Sweden and 2 daughters Clara and Roberta (died in Riga - Bolshevik Revolution). [I am not sure if Clara and Roberta are correct for this family grouping.] After Flora Herzenberg, the 4th daughter was my Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg-Landau]. Then there was another one Genga (Eugenie) married Harry Taube from Riga - were killed by Hitler's army. She was the 5th daughter of Edward Herzenberg. The 6th was Lilja [Lilia] (1st wife of Uncle Max Landau - died in Davos, Switzerland from TB.) Then was another daughter Milja, died very young (she was the 7th daughter). The youngest daughter Tonya [Tonia] died in Moscow. Then there were two brothers, the oldest Ivan (John) married a French young girl from Mussidan, Dordogne, France. She was daughter of the Mayor of that town. Died in the north of Russia where - she was sent sick and was sent with her to Mourmansk (north of Russia). Uncle Vanja's [Vania, Ivan, John all same name wife Lydia died there [note her maiden name was Lydie Buisson]. Uncle Vanja died too in Bolshevik Revolution. Their 3 children: Micha (Michel) died probably in Moscow; his brother Andrei (Andre) Herzenberg and Suzanne Hindzee (Herzenberg) - 1st husband (French) Volant. She has a daughter in Toronto married in Toronto (Alja [or Alice Nikitina] knew her) who has two children, boy and girl. The father's family name is A. [Albert?] Statter - wife Lydie (Suzanne's daughter) - son Albert. [Irene's note: last known address was 33 Stonegate Road, Toronto, Canada, M8Y-1V8; phone 416-251-6295.] There was yet other families related to us through our mother's. It was a well known dentist. His name was Kovarsky. His wife was the cousin of our mother's. They had a lot of children - 3 brothers Misha (Michael), Leva (Leon), 2 daughters Choura (Alexandra). Chura who now is same age as Suzanne [Herzenberg Hindzee] - the only one alive. I forget the name of the eldest brother deceased. Manja (Mania) in Moscow knows more about that family. What was the name of the mother cousin of our mother's-probably it was yet another of the Herzenberg family. As Alja [Alice Nikitina] will be going to Moscow she will be able to find out more form Manja [Mania]. Then there was yet another family related to the wife of our grandfather through the husband or wife Idelson. There was a girl Lisa Idelson and her brother. I think that Manja must know something about them. They lived in Moscow. I used to go see them with my mother when I was about 8 or 10 years old. Now George Behr has written from London thanking me for my sympathy condolences on account of the death of his sister Olga Behr. She must have been older than 78 years. he thought that his aunt on his father's side, Nina Karlovna died in Moscow, as well as his cousin Leija, but I think it is relatives on the side of his father Bahr, and the cousin is perhaps of the Schneider family (it is possible that the cousin is still living). All these people lived in Moscow. Now what concerns the Packschwer family. The one that came to see you with the Vietnamese wife has passed away. His name was Julien Packschwer born in Vitebesk, Russia. He was 72. His younger brother Saveijn (Sahva) engineer in London named himself Packshaw, died in England 3 weeks before Julien, leaving a widow (2nd marriage) and 2 children. It was the death of his younger brother that caused reaction on Julien Packshwer. He died 3 weeks after him. He was found on a street in Nice, France with a cerebral hemorrhage-fell in the street. Police took him to the hospital St. Rock where he died at 19 hours in the evening and remained in a coma. His car 2 CV (small) stayed in the parking where he had left it. It was only his Vietnamese wife [Mado] returning from Saigon 1 month after his death that was able to retrieve that car from the parking. Yet another day or two, it would have been impounded. But as it was the widow herself then came. They did not charge her anything. But as the car was her husband's-she has to wait by inheritance law to be able to sell it and divide up in 4 parts to his children. The eldest son of another marriage Leon is an eye doctor in Paris, then 3 other children. Oldest Robert in Montreal, CA; another son in ___ was in the navy for 3 years. The oldest was in the Air force, married a girl from Morocco - they are going to have a child soon. The daughter Irene married, has a little boy, the husband is serving in the military; they live in Cayrons near Vence, France in the Packshwer house. The widow/mother Mado inherited ¼ of the sum, the children ¾ divided in 4 for each of the 4 children. Through a real estate in Vence, Julien's house of 1000 sq. meters is worth 18 million francs. If the children keep the house, they will in turn need to give on fourth of the cost to the widow who also has the right to half of his monthly pension of 30,000 francs. She came to see me day before yesterday and told me all these details. So here you have it-the relatives. The mother of the Packshwer father was 1st cousin of our mother's through the daughter of the sister of our grandfather Edward Herzenberg maiden name Theresa Herzenberg died in Nice, born I think in Mitawa [Mitau], Baltic Provinces. She was buried with her husband in Nice at the Caucade cemetery. Now I add what George Behr wrote from London that his wife Janet has seen Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg] in Monte Carlo, then he wrote about his cousin in Moscow who he thinks has passed away (he is going to find out about it from Manja-he asked their address in Monaco). She was the daughter of the oldest sister Polina Aronovna of his mother. Here is what concerns that family... [Balance of letter missing]." 6. Random memories of Irene Petersen: A. As a young girl recalls many arguments between Catherine and her mother Elizabeth. The arguments were frequent and always in German so the Irene could not understand them. B. Catherine became pregnant at one point out of wedlock and had an abortion, which her mother convinced her to do. She always deeply regretted for the rest of her life having the abortion. C. Arik was always upset with his mother Catherine for having left him in the care of nannies and Catherine's parents as a six-month infant as his parents left on their diplomatic travels that took the young couple across the Russia to Japan, then Canada and Washington DC. Irene felt that it was in retrospect a good thing because of all the Revolutionary uprisings in Russia. Arik apparently left with his grandparents through Finland to Germany. D. Irene remembers talk that her grandfather Werblovsky had a mistress. 7. See notes of Irene de Lanskoy for her autobiography of growing up with her mother Catherine in France. 8.

Daughter Irene's recollection: "I was born at home, in a basement apartment at 22, Avenue Buenos Aires in Nice, France. This was in the large Russian section of town and Russian was my first language at home, and, of course, learned French simultaneously. My mother felt that I should be protected and a French friend of my mother’s, Madame Blin, who was present at my birth and knew of our Jewish heritage, registered me at the town hall under the fictitious name. This friend, Madame Blin, I later considered my Catholic godmother and she was very dear to me. My son Kerry visited with her many times when he was on his LDS Church mission. She virtually adopted him. He was the only Mormon missionary to have a Catholic godmother. I had another godmother named Lydie, who was given to me at my birth, but I didn’t have much of a relationship with her. At the age of eleven I took my Holy Communion at the Catholic Church. I asked my mother if she would join the church that I belonged to, so we could go to church together. This is when my mother joined the Catholic Church." 11. Manuscript in possession of Michael Landau of Monte Carlo as of 18 Sep 2023. Family history memories of Alice Landau also known as “Nikitina,” who was the sister of Vladimir Landau and the daughter of Anna Herzenberg. Translation is from French from two handwritten pages on one sheet of paper. Patrick Landau, Nikitina’s nephew, had asked her to write down what she recalled of the family history and descendants. The description is written after January 1970 because she writes that Constantin-Pierre died in January 1970. Editorial comments are [bracketed]. “[Page 1] My father’s side: The father of my father was called Adolphe and he was born I think at Czenstohova (Poland) in 1830; he married around 1953 [misstated for 1853] my grandmother, who was named Régine. They had 4 sons and one daughter. The eldest son (1855) was Julien (Julian) born in Czenstohova who married Fanny Schaskolski, born in Riga in 1863 [handwriting garbled, may be 1865]. They had 2 sons: The youngest one Constantin-Pierre, born in Petersburg in 1893, married in 1912 with Miss Banzer had a son Youri (George) born in 1914 who is married and lives in Toulouse [France]. He had 2 sons. Constantin-Pierre remarried to Miss Tronsevitch and again another time [his third]. He died in Belgium in January 1970. The first son of Julien, Theodor was born in 1890. He married a woman from Vienna in 1943 and had a daughter. Theodor died in 1965. The second son of Adolph, Gustave was born in Czenstohova and went to the USA before the war in 1914. He had 7 sons and one daughter. I know 3 sons: Adam was born in Warsaw in 1892, Rom[?] born in Warsaw in 1894 and Walter born in New York in 1906. I don’t know the others. The third son, my father Maximilian was born April 1st 1870 in Czenstohova and died in Odessa in 1919 (added in between lines). He married Anne Herzenberg in 1899, born in 1978 [miswritten, 1878] in Moscow and had a daughter Alice-Régine [Nikitina] born in 1900 February 21st and Vladimir born in 1902 March 29 both in St. Petersburg. Vladimir, your father, married in 1945 with Miss Janine Regnard born in 1916 in Paris and you were born at Boulogne s/Seine [Boulogne-sur-Seine] September 5, 1945. The 4th son of Adolph – Stanislas was born in 1876 at Lodz. He was married to Miss Lidia ? and had 3 sons: John born in 1905, Bronislav born in 1907 and Anton born in 1914. Stanislas and Lidia were killed in Poland. Their sons were living in France. The daughter of Adolph: Evelyn was born in 1878 at Lodz (Poland) and married a Russian general Avinovitzki in 1903. Both are dead, I don’t know where or when. The only living parent [relative] that I know of is Nicolas Landau, antiquary in Paris who is the son of my father’s cousin. He is 80 years old and I think he can give more information on the Landau family! My mother’s side: The father of my mother was named Edouard Herzenberg. He was born around 1845 and died in 1910 in Moscow. He was married, but I think the name of my grandmother was Herzenberg too. She died in 1904 in Moscow. They had 7 daughters and 2 sons: 1) Sophie, the eldest born in 1863, married had 2 daughters Marie and Nadia. Nadia is dead and Marie lives in Moscow. She is married and has a married daughter, who has a daughter. [Page 2] 2nd daughter Elizabeth born in 1865 in Moscow, married Adolph Werblovsky and had a daughter Catherine who married in 1913 Victor Buzkoy who died in England in 1945. Their son Arik was born in St. Petersburg in 1914, he is married to Julie and has a son and a daughter and lives in Malta. Catherine lives in Nice. Elisabeth died in Nice in 1950 and Adolph in 1938. 3rd daughter Hélène born in 1867 Moscow, married Ossip Offenbacher and had a son Lothar born in 1896. Hélène died in 1919 in Berlin and Ossip later. Lothar disappeared in Germany. 4th daughter Egenie [Eugenia] married Leon Taube from Riga and was born in 1876 in Moscow and died in 1930 in Moscow. No children. 5th daughter Lilia: born in 1877, died in 1897 in Davos. 6th daughter Anne: my mother born in 1878 married Maximillian Landau in 1898 and had 2 children Alice born on Feb. 21, 1900, and Vladimir March 29, 1902.

Michel died in 1935, André lives in Moscow. Susan lives in Menton. Ivan died in Siberia in 1930 and Lidia too. André had a son and Susan married a Volant, a daughter Lidia married in Canada to an Austrian man. She has a son and daughter. 2nd son Paul: born in 1872 married to Natalie, one daughter. Lives in Moscow.” PHOTOS: 1.

In the meantime I kiss you warmly, Your loving daughter Katyusha May 15th 1915" In Russian: "А.З. Вербловскому Петроград, Чернышев пер. д. 16 Дорогой папа! Мы очень просим тебя приехать сюда завтра в субботу, так как во вторник мы уедем в Х. Если уехать позже, будет жарче, поедем наверное не на очень долгий срок.

Per Irene Petersen, both Catherine and her son Arik (Artemy) were born at this address in St. Petersburg, Russia, which can be found and looked at on Google street view: Ulitsa Lomonosova 18. It appears to be a classy and important address in its day. MARRIAGE: 1. Butzkoy: Divorced Victor de Butzkoy 27 Jul 1922. A paper in the possession of Catherine's daughter Irene Petersen from "Administration Diocesaine Des Engls. Orhodoxes Russ. En. Europe" (French for Diocese Adminisration of the Russian Orthodox Church in Europe) dated 9 Oct 1922 with no address says in Russian that Catherine and Victor Butskoy were married at the Mironocitkoy Church [Russian orthodox] in Kharkov, Ukraine, on September 24, 1915 with divorce July 27, 1922, at the fault of the husband. The following is a translation made by Chris Petersen on 19 Jul 2022: Мария Голик DIVORCE CERTIFICATE The Diocesan Administration of the Russian Orthodox Churches in Western Europe has issued this Certificate of Divorce to Ekaterina Adolfovna Verblovskaya, nee Butskaya(*), that her marriage with Viktor Petrovich Butskiy, which was concluded in the Mironositskaya Church of Kharkov(**) on September 24, 1915, according to the definition of the Diocesan Council of the Administration of Russian Orthodox Churches in Western Europe on July 27, 1922, is considered canceled due to the fault of her husband, since he maliciously left his wife, and at the same time a church penance (***) was imposed on V.P.

Both sign: Catherine Werblovsky and Nicolas Olimpieff. B. Olimpieff: According to Irene Petersen, Catherine never divorced Nicolas. Later Nicolas disappears and they lose track of him. Supposedly he made off with some money from his employer and was hiding. 3.

Two letters found May 2021 in Irene's address book from Mrs. Gerard Cavasso, 6 Rue Belgique, Monaco addressed to Mrs. Jack M. Petersen (Irene), P.O. Box 4-1000, Spenard, Alaska, 99509. The letters concern the death and funeral of her mother Catherine at the hospital near Nice, France. Death occurred on 8 Jan 1972 and the funeral was on 12 Jan 1972. "Monaco, Jan. 8, 1972 Very dear Irene, When you receive my letter, I think you will already know of the death of your mother. I know Irene that we knew what to expect, but in going to see her this afternoon with mom, it was painful to learn that she had just left this world. I had really hoped to try for an afternoon to take your place next to her--I took her a bottle of "Eau de Vals" [mineral water] for her to drink, and as you had asked we arrived at the hospital around 3:10 p.m., but it had already been just one hour since she took her last breath. It was at the entrance that we were alerted and told that your brother and you had been alerted as well as your cousin from Vence who was going to take care of the formalities. We have seen her in repose, Irene, she seemed so calm she no longer suffers now, I must remember Monday morning to know the time for the elegy, because I want to go, it has been so many long years that we have known each other Irene, I have lost track of how long, but I think it was during our childhood, I know your pain must be large, because a mother cannot be replaced, but perhaps this might assuage your grief, so I share this with you Irene. Death is only the separation of the bodies, but its memory will always stay living in you, with time the large pain will fade but the remembrance of her will always be engraved on you. I would like to ask you Irene if you have a photo of her, I would love it if you could send it to me. And it was only a week since you were still here. Your voyage home wasn't too tiring? The children and your husband must have been happy and anxious to see you, just as missed them. I am going to now end this sad letter for this evening Irene. I will write you some news next week, even though you will certainly have news from your family, but I really want to tell you that I share this large grief that has just struck you. Gerard and mom join me in extending our most sincere condolences and receive our most affectionate kisses to share with the children and best regards to your husband. Dedee" "Monaco, Jan. 12, 1972 Very dear Irene, It makes me very sad to write you this letter Irene, to tell you that we have accompanied your mother to her last home. She is now in the little cemetery behind the Hospital St. Marie. I have no doubt that this will be terrible news for you although you knew there was nothing more to do to cure her, and as you left it Sunday evening, she will have held on until Saturday at 2 pm, I believe for her this is a deliverance. Now she is no longer here. I think how I have been selfish for not bringing moral comfort more often, she had been so soft, so nice, and who as the priest said during his mass, owed? herself to everyone, she was marvelous and never a word to complain, this is the memory you must keep of your mother Irene. You must not especially thank me for all that Irene, because I could have done more, especially when you were absent, I should have gone more often to see her at the hospital to replace you with her, but sometimes one is so wrapped in oneself to see what is going on right next to you. Your crown is very beautiful Irene and I know that your thoughts were here yesterday. The mass took place in the hospital chapel yesterday morning (Tuesday) at 9 a.m. and at 10:30 all was finished. There was your brother and other persons (ten) that I did not know. With your brother u Monsieur Barbujeune, a blond lady with her husband and her daughter, but I believe Madame Suzanne Hindzee who I had met and who is very nice would know better than me to tell you the names of all. Mother did not come Irene, which was probably good considering she never would have been able to walk on the path we took to go to the cemetery. I promise you Irene to go see her up there from time to time. Madame Hindzee, who give me her address in Menton, will certainly come with me. I am going to end my letter for this evening Irene, and I hope that even though your mother is no longer here, we will have the joy to see you again, and that we will always be friends. Hug the children for us, and for you equally my most affectionate kisses, knowing you to be surrounded by your husband and children to help support you during this terrible trial. Our loving remembrance of your husband. Dedee" 3. Letter dated 7 Jan 1962 from Suzanne (Herzenberg) Hindzee to Irene (de Lanskoy) Petersen describing Suzanne's visit to see Catherine just before her death: "From: Mme. S. Hindzee Riviera Palace, app. 218 06 Menton, France To: Mrs. Irene Petersen Spenard Post Office 99503 Box 4-1000 Alaska, USA January 7, 1972, Dear Irene, I could not come to Nice on Sunday. I was sick myself, with an infected maxillary sinus, and I am still under treatment, hoping to heal. In short, I am starting this year tired. Nevertheless, I went to see your mom the day before yesterday, Wednesday January 5th. I found her in the same state. It was hard to understand her (is it her state). I asked her what she would like -- oranges -- I did not have some [oranges] with me and I left money to the nurse so she could buy them. She does not seem to suffer, but her pulse is fast, and as I learned that the chances of healing are almost non-existent. Why? Nobody wanted to explain it to me. I left my address (in case of emergency). But alas, I cannot do much about it, she knows you left, but she does not seem to be dismayed, hoping perhaps to see once again as before. What is the doctor’s prognosis? All this has been so sad -- because one feels so powerless to help her in any way. Did your travel go well? Write to me if you have time. Kisses and hugs for you as well as your children, send my best regards to your husband. Suzanne. In front of me, she drank coffee café de lait and mineral water." BURIAL: 1. Cemetery in Nice (behind old medical psychiatric hospital on road to St. Andre). Photo on file. Marker has since been removed. Inexpensive wood cross marker from photo reads in french: "124, Ici repose [Here rests] Olympieff, Catherine Epouse [Spouse] Nerblovsky nee [born] 1895 DCD (decede) [died] 1972." 2. Letter dated 13 Jan 1962 from Suzanne (Herzenberg) Hindzee to Irene (de Lanskoy) Petersen describing the details of Catherine's funeral: "From: Mme. S. Hindzee App. 218, Riviera Palace 06 Menton, France To: Mrs. Jack M. Petersen P.O. Box 4-1000, Spenard, Alaska, 99509, U.S.A. January 13, 1972, My dear Irene, At the same moment I am taking my ballpoint pen to write to you. I know that the sad news of your mother's death must have reached you. Maybe you only received the news when returning from the lake on Monday. Poor little Irene, your sorrow must be so great, though I know that you were already expecting that pain. Alas your mom must have suffered a great deal this last month and probably even before. And for her I am sure, it must have been a deliverance. I attended the funeral that took place on Tuesday 11th at 9 a.m. I arrived very early at the chapel to stay alone with her. Her face was calm as if she was sleeping, the rosary in her hands. God keep her in His watch! After me came Madame Cavassa (from Monaco). She is really a good and sympathetic young lady, who loves you dearly and your mother too. We talked a lot about you because she took me back to Menton. There was also that person from Vence and others that I did not know and your brother of course. The ceremony was really moving as was the priest’s sermon who must have known your mother -- I don’t know if you should regret not being here. If your heart was with her, she must have been aware. I guess your friends have sent you letters to give you other details and probably better than me. Keep your sorrow deep inside your heart, because life is calling to you right now, that will comfort you in the future and with your children. I hope we will meet again. Thank you for your letter and good wishes. I guess you also received mine where I talked of my visit to the hospital. Yes we could not see each other a lot. The circumstances were against us and I was myself really in bad shape. I had to take an appointment with my specialized doctor. I had sinusitis with complications, and a viral infection at the maxillary sinus. I am writing from my bed, because I have to rest in bed and undergo heavy penicillin injections that make me tired. As you can guess, my year begins rather bad and maybe I should not have accepted to work. That is all my dear Irene. Rest assured I will not forget you. I send you [written in margins from here] my best thoughts. Write to me as soon as you can, Hug your children for me, and forward my best memories to your dear one. Kind hugs, don’t forget me. Suzanne." | Werblowsky or Verblovski, Catherine (I1785)

| 294 | BIOGRAPHY: 1. She was a famous Russian ballet dancer. Her ballet and singing stage name was Alice Nikitina; Created Flora in Zephyr and Flora (1925) (p. 331, Dance Encyclopedia, BYU Call #:GU1585.c5 1949). I met her while on my mission to France in 1974. 2. The following undated paper was written late 1969 in Nice, France by Catherine Werblovsky Olympieff (also known as Ekaterina Werblovskaya Olympieva) at the request of Patrick Landau through his aunt Alice Nikitina. Patrick's father, Vladimir Landau, even though he was Catherine's cousin, had less knowledge on the family then Catherine. Catherine was the granddaughter of Edouard and Rebecca Herzenberg. The letter was written a couple of years before Catherine's death after she entered into an assisted care facility in Nice. The paper was recently found among personal items previously gathered about 1969 by her daughter Irene Nadia de Lanskoy Petersen. Portions of the letter were written in three languages: English, French, and Russian. Irene, in transcribing the letter, notes that the letter was hard to follow and to make sense of. Irene's transcription dated 31 Jul 2007 with her notes added in [ ]. "What concerns the father and mother of our mother's: Mother's father: Edouard Ocipovitch Herzenberg [or Gerzenberg] Edward son of Joseph Herzenberg born: in Mitava [or Mittau] not far ___, Baltic Provinces - not far from Riga. He died at 76 years of age (had diabetes and malaria) from lung congestion after flu. His wife was his cousin. Rebecca Herzenberg also married a first cousin. I am not sure of the name of her father; she died in Moscow when I was 6 years old (70 years ago). [Death would be approximately 1899?] They were probably married in Mitawa and came to Moscow young, because all their children were born in Moscow. The eldest 1) Elizabeth 2) Sonja [or Sonia] (Sofia) mother of Manja or Mania who now lives in Moscow, who had a sister Nadja or Nadia who was born in Moscow. Sonia's husband was Adolf Schneider - son of Aaron Schneider - who had 3 more sons: Nicolas, Alexander, Serge and a daughter Elizabeth Schneider. She got married with Martin Behr (English nationality); they had two children and lived in Moscow. Mrs. Elizabeth Behr died in London (after the Russian Revolution she lived in France, later in England.) Her brother Adolf Schneider was a brother-in-law of our mother's of course.) [This is a repeat of the above.] The Behrs had 2 children. Elisabeth Behr died in London (probably her husband Martin Behr died before.) Mrs. Behr's daughter Olga died in London about a year ago [1968-69?], her brother George Behr still lives in London is married (has 1 daughter who is married too and has 2 boys, 8 and 7. So my mother Elisabeth was the eldest daughter of Edward and Rebecca Herzenberg born in Moscow like her sister Sonia, the next sister Flora born in Moscow. Flora, married Joseph Offenbacher, had one son Lotar (my first cousin as well as yours). She, her husband, and son died in Germany during the war of Hitler (son Lothar). [Irene notes that another family account says that Lothar committed suicide on account of the war.] [His father] Joseph Offenbacher had an older brother Vasily [William or Wilhelm] Offenbacher who married a cousin of our mother's - Fanny, daughter of Abra[ha]m (whom all children of Edward Herzenberg used to call Uncle Abraham.) He was the husband of Grandfather Edward Herzenberg's sister Theresa. His family name was also like all: Herzenberg. Theresa Herzenberg had many children - daughter Fanny, sons Ludwig, Harry, and 2 other sons and another daughter Sophia married to another Herzenberg (all those marriages were between cousins) who had three children, Robby (Robert) who lives in Sweden and 2 daughters Clara and Roberta (died in Riga - Bolshevik Revolution). [I am not sure if Clara and Roberta are correct for this family grouping.] After Flora Herzenberg, the 4th daughter was my Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg-Landau]. Then there was another one Genga (Eugenie) married Harry Taube from Riga - were killed by Hitler's army. She was the 5th daughter of Edward Herzenberg. The 6th was Lilja [Lilia] (1st wife of Uncle Max Landau - died in Davos, Switzerland from TB.) Then was another daughter Milja, died very young (she was the 7th daughter). The youngest daughter Tonya [Tonia] died in Moscow. Then there were two brothers, the oldest Ivan (John) married a French young girl from Mussidan, Dordogne, France. She was daughter of the Mayor of that town. Died in the north of Russia where - she was sent sick and was sent with her to Mourmansk (north of Russia). Uncle Vanja's [Vania, Ivan, John all same name wife Lydia died there [note her maiden name was Lydie Buisson]. Uncle Vanja died too in Bolshevik Revolution. Their 3 children: Micha (Michel) died probably in Moscow; his brother Andrei (Andre) Herzenberg and Suzanne Hindzee (Herzenberg) - 1st husband (French) Volant. She has a daughter in Toronto married in Toronto (Alja [or Alice Nikitina] knew her) who has two children, boy and girl. The father's family name is A. [Albert?] Statter - wife Lydie (Suzanne's daughter) - son Albert. [Irene's note: last known address was 33 Stonegate Road, Toronto, Canada, M8Y-1V8; phone 416-251-6295.] There was yet other families related to us through our mother's. It was a well known dentist. His name was Kovarsky. His wife was the cousin of our mother's. They had a lot of children - 3 brothers Misha (Michael), Leva (Leon), 2 daughters Choura (Alexandra). Chura who now is same age as Suzanne [Herzenberg Hindzee] - the only one alive. I forget the name of the eldest brother deceased. Manja (Mania) in Moscow knows more about that family. What was the name of the mother cousin of our mother's-probably it was yet another of the Herzenberg family. As Alja [Alice Nikitina] will be going to Moscow she will be able to find out more form Manja [Mania]. Then there was yet another family related to the wife of our grandfather through the husband or wife Idelson. There was a girl Lisa Idelson and her brother. I think that Manja must know something about them. They lived in Moscow. I used to go see them with my mother when I was about 8 or 10 years old. Now George Behr has written from London thanking me for my sympathy condolences on account of the death of his sister Olga Behr. She must have been older than 78 years. he thought that his aunt on his father's side, Nina Karlovna died in Moscow, as well as his cousin Leija, but I think it is relatives on the side of his father Bahr, and the cousin is perhaps of the Schneider family (it is possible that the cousin is still living). All these people lived in Moscow. Now what concerns the Packschwer family. The one that came to see you with the Vietnamese wife has passed away. His name was Julien Packschwer born in Vitebesk, Russia. He was 72. His younger brother Saveijn (Sahva) engineer in London named himself Packshaw, died in England 3 weeks before Julien, leaving a widow (2nd marriage) and 2 children. It was the death of his younger brother that caused reaction on Julien Packshwer. He died 3 weeks after him. He was found on a street in Nice, France with a cerebral hemorrhage-fell in the street. Police took him to the hospital St. Rock where he died at 19 hours in the evening and remained in a coma. His car 2 CV (small) stayed in the parking where he had left it. It was only his Vietnamese wife [Mado] returning from Saigon 1 month after his death that was able to retrieve that car from the parking. Yet another day or two, it would have been impounded. But as it was the widow herself then came. They did not charge her anything. But as the car was her husband's-she has to wait by inheritance law to be able to sell it and divide up in 4 parts to his children. The eldest son of another marriage Leon is an eye doctor in Paris, then 3 other children. Oldest Robert in Montreal, CA; another son in ___ was in the navy for 3 years. The oldest was in the Air force, married a girl from Morocco - they are going to have a child soon. The daughter Irene married, has a little boy, the husband is serving in the military; they live in Cayrons near Vence, France in the Packshwer house. The widow/mother Mado inherited ¼ of the sum, the children ¾ divided in 4 for each of the 4 children. Through a real estate in Vence, Julien's house of 1000 sq. meters is worth 18 million francs. If the children keep the house, they will in turn need to give on fourth of the cost to the widow who also has the right to half of his monthly pension of 30,000 francs. She came to see me day before yesterday and told me all these details. So here you have it-the relatives. The mother of the Packshwer father was 1st cousin of our mother's through the daughter of the sister of our grandfather Edward Herzenberg maiden name Theresa Herzenberg died in Nice, born I think in Mitawa [Mitau], Baltic Provinces. She was buried with her husband in Nice at the Caucade cemetery. Now I add what George Behr wrote from London that his wife Janet has seen Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg] in Monte Carlo, then he wrote about his cousin in Moscow who he thinks has passed away (he is going to find out about it from Manja-he asked their address in Monaco). She was the daughter of the oldest sister Polina Aronovna of his mother. Here is what concerns that family... [Balance of letter missing]." 3. Letter dated 17 Aug 1962 from Suzanne (Herzenberg) Hindzee in Toronto, Canada, to Irene (de Lanskoy) Petersen in Alaska. Mentions the death Anjuta (Herzenberg) Landau. The letter mentions Alice, which it probably Alice Nikitina, but Alice did not die until 1978. Original image posted on FamilySearch: "Dear beloved Irène, I add these few words to your mother’s letter to explain to you that she sent me that letter by mistake. At first, I did not understand and I read it, sorry. I have not heard from you. I am going through a depression crisis, the passing of aunt Aniouta being a terrible shock for me. With her gone, disappears the last person who had a sincere and motherly affection for me, a soul in which I could confide in. I am feeling very much alone. The other aunt Aniouta, she waited for the year of Alice to die – and I will not see her anymore. I am in great sorrow. I send you my best wishes for your birthday and with the letter of your mum. [Forward] my friendliest feelings to your husband and “kisses” to your two little-ones. Kisses and hugs Suzanne." 4. Manuscript in possession of Michael Landau of Monte Carlo as of 18 Sep 2023. Family history memories of Alice Landau also known as “Nikitina,” who was the sister of Vladimir Landau and the daughter of Anna Herzenberg. Translation is from French from two handwritten pages on one sheet of paper. Patrick Landau, Nikitina’s nephew, had asked her to write down what she recalled of the family history and descendants. The description is written after January 1970 because she writes that Constantin-Pierre died in January 1970. Editorial comments are [bracketed]. “[Page 1] My father’s side: The father of my father was called Adolphe and he was born I think at Czenstohova (Poland) in 1830; he married around 1953 [misstated for 1853] my grandmother, who was named Régine. They had 4 sons and one daughter. The eldest son (1855) was Julien (Julian) born in Czenstohova who married Fanny Schaskolski, born in Riga in 1863 [handwriting garbled, may be 1865]. They had 2 sons: The youngest one Constantin-Pierre, born in Petersburg in 1893, married in 1912 with Miss Banzer had a son Youri (George) born in 1914 who is married and lives in Toulouse [France].

Both are dead, I don’t know where or when. The only living parent [relative] that I know of is Nicolas Landau, antiquary in Paris who is the son of my father’s cousin. He is 80 years old and I think he can give more information on the Landau family! My mother’s side: The father of my mother was named Edouard Herzenberg. He was born around 1845 and died in 1910 in Moscow. He was married, but I think the name of my grandmother was Herzenberg too. She died in 1904 in Moscow. They had 7 daughters and 2 sons: 1) Sophie, the eldest born in 1863, married had 2 daughters Marie and Nadia. Nadia is dead and Marie lives in Moscow. She is married and has a married daughter, who has a daughter.

| 299 | BIOGRAPHY: 1. Son: Sergei Children: - Alexia (alive in Irkutsk) Daughter: was in Bratsk (Siberia) Irene (died from drink) Daughter: Marina (Irkutsk) Husband: Children: possibly 2. Also known as Nadia. 3. The following undated paper was written late 1969 in Nice, France by Catherine Werblovsky Olympieff (also known as Ekaterina Werblovskaya Olympieva) at the request of Patrick Landau through his aunt Alice Nikitina. Patrick's father, Vladimir Landau, even though he was Catherine's cousin, had less knowledge on the family then Catherine. Catherine was the granddaughter of Edouard and Rebecca Herzenberg. The letter was written a couple of years before Catherine's death after she entered into an assisted care facility in Nice. The paper was recently found among personal items previously gathered about 1969 by her daughter Irene Nadia de Lanskoy Petersen. Portions of the letter were written in three languages: English, French, and Russian. Irene, in transcribing the letter, notes that the letter was hard to follow and to make sense of. Irene's transcription dated 31 Jul 2007 with her notes added in [ ]. "What concerns the father and mother of our mother's: Mother's father: Edouard Ocipovitch Herzenberg [or Gerzenberg] Edward son of Joseph Herzenberg born: in Mitava [or Mittau] not far ___, Baltic Provinces - not far from Riga. He died at 76 years of age (had diabetes and malaria) from lung congestion after flu. His wife was his cousin. Rebecca Herzenberg also married a first cousin. I am not sure of the name of her father; she died in Moscow when I was 6 years old (70 years ago). [Death would be approximately 1899?] They were probably married in Mitawa and came to Moscow young, because all their children were born in Moscow. The eldest 1) Elizabeth 2) Sonja [or Sonia] (Sofia) mother of Manja or Mania who now lives in Moscow, who had a sister Nadja or Nadia who was born in Moscow. Sonia's husband was Adolf Schneider - son of Aaron Schneider - who had 3 more sons: Nicolas, Alexander, Serge and a daughter Elizabeth Schneider. She got married with Martin Behr (English nationality); they had two children and lived in Moscow. Mrs. Elizabeth Behr died in London (after the Russian Revolution she lived in France, later in England.) Her brother Adolf Schneider was a brother-in-law of our mother's of course.) [This is a repeat of the above.] The Behrs had 2 children. Elisabeth Behr died in London (probably her husband Martin Behr died before.) Mrs. Behr's daughter Olga died in London about a year ago [1968-69?], her brother George Behr still lives in London is married (has 1 daughter who is married too and has 2 boys, 8 and 7. So my mother Elisabeth was the eldest daughter of Edward and Rebecca Herzenberg born in Moscow like her sister Sonia, the next sister Flora born in Moscow. Flora, married Joseph Offenbacher, had one son Lotar (my first cousin as well as yours). She, her husband, and son died in Germany during the war of Hitler (son Lothar). [Irene notes that another family account says that Lothar committed suicide on account of the war.] [His father] Joseph Offenbacher had an older brother Vasily [William or Wilhelm] Offenbacher who married a cousin of our mother's - Fanny, daughter of Abra[ha]m (whom all children of Edward Herzenberg used to call Uncle Abraham.) He was the husband of Grandfather Edward Herzenberg's sister Theresa. His family name was also like all: Herzenberg. Theresa Herzenberg had many children - daughter Fanny, sons Ludwig, Harry, and 2 other sons and another daughter Sophia married to another Herzenberg (all those marriages were between cousins) who had three children, Robby (Robert) who lives in Sweden and 2 daughters Clara and Roberta (died in Riga - Bolshevik Revolution). [I am not sure if Clara and Roberta are correct for this family grouping.] After Flora Herzenberg, the 4th daughter was my Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg-Landau]. Then there was another one Genga (Eugenie) married Harry Taube from Riga - were killed by Hitler's army. She was the 5th daughter of Edward Herzenberg. The 6th was Lilja [Lilia] (1st wife of Uncle Max Landau - died in Davos, Switzerland from TB.) Then was another daughter Milja, died very young (she was the 7th daughter). The youngest daughter Tonya [Tonia] died in Moscow. Then there were two brothers, the oldest Ivan (John) married a French young girl from Mussidan, Dordogne, France. She was daughter of the Mayor of that town. Died in the north of Russia where - she was sent sick and was sent with her to Mourmansk (north of Russia). Uncle Vanja's [Vania, Ivan, John all same name wife Lydia died there [note her maiden name was Lydie Buisson]. Uncle Vanja died too in Bolshevik Revolution. Their 3 children: Micha (Michel) died probably in Moscow; his brother Andrei (Andre) Herzenberg and Suzanne Hindzee (Herzenberg) - 1st husband (French) Volant. She has a daughter in Toronto married in Toronto (Alja [or Alice Nikitina] knew her) who has two children, boy and girl. The father's family name is A. [Albert?] Statter - wife Lydie (Suzanne's daughter) - son Albert. [Irene's note: last known address was 33 Stonegate Road, Toronto, Canada, M8Y-1V8; phone 416-251-6295.] There was yet other families related to us through our mother's. It was a well known dentist. His name was Kovarsky. His wife was the cousin of our mother's. They had a lot of children - 3 brothers Misha (Michael), Leva (Leon), 2 daughters Choura (Alexandra). Chura who now is same age as Suzanne [Herzenberg Hindzee] - the only one alive. I forget the name of the eldest brother deceased. Manja (Mania) in Moscow knows more about that family. What was the name of the mother cousin of our mother's-probably it was yet another of the Herzenberg family. As Alja [Alice Nikitina] will be going to Moscow she will be able to find out more form Manja [Mania]. Then there was yet another family related to the wife of our grandfather through the husband or wife Idelson. There was a girl Lisa Idelson and her brother. I think that Manja must know something about them. They lived in Moscow. I used to go see them with my mother when I was about 8 or 10 years old. Now George Behr has written from London thanking me for my sympathy condolences on account of the death of his sister Olga Behr. She must have been older than 78 years. he thought that his aunt on his father's side, Nina Karlovna died in Moscow, as well as his cousin Leija, but I think it is relatives on the side of his father Bahr, and the cousin is perhaps of the Schneider family (it is possible that the cousin is still living). All these people lived in Moscow. Now what concerns the Packschwer family. The one that came to see you with the Vietnamese wife has passed away. His name was Julien Packschwer born in Vitebesk, Russia. He was 72. His younger brother Saveijn (Sahva) engineer in London named himself Packshaw, died in England 3 weeks before Julien, leaving a widow (2nd marriage) and 2 children. It was the death of his younger brother that caused reaction on Julien Packshwer. He died 3 weeks after him. He was found on a street in Nice, France with a cerebral hemorrhage-fell in the street. Police took him to the hospital St. Rock where he died at 19 hours in the evening and remained in a coma. His car 2 CV (small) stayed in the parking where he had left it. It was only his Vietnamese wife [Mado] returning from Saigon 1 month after his death that was able to retrieve that car from the parking. Yet another day or two, it would have been impounded. But as it was the widow herself then came. They did not charge her anything. But as the car was her husband's-she has to wait by inheritance law to be able to sell it and divide up in 4 parts to his children. The eldest son of another marriage Leon is an eye doctor in Paris, then 3 other children. Oldest Robert in Montreal, CA; another son in ___ was in the navy for 3 years. The oldest was in the Air force, married a girl from Morocco - they are going to have a child soon. The daughter Irene married, has a little boy, the husband is serving in the military; they live in Cayrons near Vence, France in the Packshwer house. The widow/mother Mado inherited ¼ of the sum, the children ¾ divided in 4 for each of the 4 children. Through a real estate in Vence, Julien's house of 1000 sq. meters is worth 18 million francs. If the children keep the house, they will in turn need to give on fourth of the cost to the widow who also has the right to half of his monthly pension of 30,000 francs. She came to see me day before yesterday and told me all these details. So here you have it-the relatives. The mother of the Packshwer father was 1st cousin of our mother's through the daughter of the sister of our grandfather Edward Herzenberg maiden name Theresa Herzenberg died in Nice, born I think in Mitawa [Mitau], Baltic Provinces. She was buried with her husband in Nice at the Caucade cemetery. Now I add what George Behr wrote from London that his wife Janet has seen Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg] in Monte Carlo, then he wrote about his cousin in Moscow who he thinks has passed away (he is going to find out about it from Manja-he asked their address in Monaco). She was the daughter of the oldest sister Polina Aronovna of his mother. Here is what concerns that family... [Balance of letter missing]." | Shneider or Schneider, Nadine or Nadja (I3450)
