Hanskemester Mathias Redel Lodtz.

[dn21262]

Hanskemester Mathias Redel Lodtz reiste fra Kristiania 27.05.1882 m. "Drammen", og oppga å skulle til Chicago. Han var 28 år og bosatt i Trondheim. Egentlig var han f. i Bergen 30.05.1854. Er det noen som kan hjelpe meg med å finne noe om han. Hilsen Gullbjørg

Har akkurat funnet at han giftet seg 3.07.1890 i Chicago med Hulda Gohr som hadde foreldre fra Germany. Fant også en med samme navn som allerede 2.09-1882 giftet seg i Oskaloosa Iowa med Marie Johnsen, men jeg er usikker om det kan være min mann! Dette fant jeg på etternavnsøk for hele verden, Disnorge. Gullbjørg

Russel's wife is Marilyn.

Veteran's thanks

Editor,

My husband, a patient at the Palo Alto Veteran's Administration Hospital, asked me to write a letter of appreciation to all the volunteers for their gifts of time and care.

They have brightened many days here with colorful parties, warm letters and cards on Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving, and all the music and joy of Christmas giving.

He was deeply moved by a volunteer's gift of a beautiful quilt, which had taken hours to make. He wants us to remember these wonderful, caring volunteers among us.

Volunteers are making a large contribution and deserve much praise for their untiring efforts to help their fellow man everywhere.

Hallo Margit. Thank you very much for good help. You are always such a good helper,
always there for us who need a helping hand. Now i need to look it all over, but i wonder, could it be the same Mathias Redel Lodtz who,s been married twice, first to Marie Johnson at 1882? Is it possible something to find? Hilsen Gullbjørg

[Margit R Bakke]

I did check and did not find anything of another marriage. What is your source for his marriage in Iowa???? Hearsay is not trustful.
