Hey, Bud, did you get this pipe from Dad’s stuff at the time of his death in Oregon, or sometime before that. It seems like I would have seen it, but I have no such memory,ummmmmmmm

Luci,
What a nice story. You are very lucky to have such a lush history that was documented. My Mom is a first generation daughter of two Polish imigrants who met in Central Park New York. Both my grandparents came over to Ellis Island aboard two different ships. In those years you needed a sponsor and job in order to come to America. My Grandmother Katherine lived with a cousin and worked as a cook in a Jewish home in New York and my Grandfather was living with a relative and worked as a gardener. Mutual friends introduced them on a date in the park. The rest is history they married had 7 children and all four sons served in each branch of the military during WW11. Lucky they all came back alive. We don’t know much about my grandparents families as they never left Poland or kept in touch very well.
But it is neat to know where you came from and how hard those who came before us worked to give us what we have.
Bless You
Jackie

That is such a great story! With all of todays modern conveniences we forget how our ancestors spent their day to day lives. Now it is no big deal to live in another state you can fly there. But back then they were lucky if they owned horses, mules, a wagon. We take so much for granted these days.

How cool that you remember her! I never got to meet her. I’m going to be sharing all the stories, documents, pictures I have over time. If you have anything already online about her, I can link to you, or I can put up anything you’d like, with your name on it too.

Mary Eleanor Aumock was the mother of Jennie Clarinda Brown, Mary was a little girl when she came from Ohio with her parents, Philip Aumock and his bride Eleanor Dusenberry. It must have been a difficult trip as Mary was the fifth child of this family. Thanks for publishing the story. Mom
