HENRY ENGAGES CAP FEUERSTEIN
No sunshine yet.
Rainy - cold - and
disagreeable east wind.
Henry engaged Cap
Feuerstein and his truck
to go to Grand Ledge
for a load of tiles.
Kate and Bill out to-night.
Played Dirty 8 as usual
Dick staying all night
and doing chores in
the morning as Hank
went to stay all night
with Edd Moore.
I was surprised but pleased to see the Feuerstein name in my great grandmother's journal.
Edna is my paternal great grandmother. Her counterpart on my mom's side of the family is Elizabeth (Lizzie) Feuerstein Hoover—my maternal great grandmother.
Lizzie is an aunt to Theodore Casper (Cap) Feuerstein, whom Henry "engaged," along with his truck, to retrieve a load of tiles from Grand Ledge.
Cap's father John and Lizzie were siblings. They were two of eight children born to Kasper and Catherine (Henniger) Feuerstein.
Kasper was born in Germany in 1841. He came to the United States with his parents when he was only a few months old. Before marrying Catherine in 1868, he served in the US Army in the 83rd Infantry, under General Sherman.
50th Anniversary of Kasper and Catherine Feuerstein (April 21, 1918).
Lizzie is in the middle row to the far right. She is holding her daughter Catherine. Lizzie's husband John Hoover is standing directly behind her.
That little guy in the front row to the right of the kid in the bowtie is my grandfather, Leo Hoover.
Kasper and Catherine Feuerstein are squarely in the middle of the photo. Kasper has a boutonniere on his lapel.
Cap Feuerstein (the truck driver) is the back row, second from the right. His father, John (Lizzie's brother), is sitting next to Kasper.
