I have some obligations today that make it difficult to compose an original post. Instead, I am once again sharing a post that was previously placed on this blog. This one happens to be a fairly recent one. I wrote it earlier this year in January. It told of the bicentennial birthday of Joseph Pilz. … More Mama Lichtenegger’s 175th Birthday
I found another one. Here we are, just 8 days into the New Year, and today’s post will be the third one already that tells the story of someone celebrating their bicentennial birthday. Not only that, I have already written a post about someone who was celebrating a 220th birthday this year. It is starting … More Joseph Pilz – Joseph Lichtenegger’s Father-in-Law
I found today’s story because the featured couple was married on this date, but I later discovered that the bride not only got married on today’s date, November 27th, but also was born on this date. So, she could be classified as today’s birthday girl and anniversary bride. I will begin by discussing her early … More Christine (Lindner) Reisenbichler – Born and Married on November 27th
Today’s birthday girl was a life-long single person. I will attempt to tell her story today. Ida Katharine Kraml was born on September 14, 1880, thus making today her 145th birthday. Ida was the daughter of Gottlieb and Anna Maria (Lichtenegger) Kraml. Her father had previously been married to Franziska Pichler, but she died in … More Ida Kraml – Unattached, Yet Attached
I thought that I would post an old story about a Lichtenegger today. This post was written on March 28, 2019. Today would be the wedding anniversary of the Lichtenegger groom highlighted in this post. I decided that today would be a good day to not only recognize a Lichtenegger man who lived many years … More One of the Jolley Boys
The story you will read today does not have a typical beginning point. Usually I locate a baptism or marriage record and use it to highlight someone’s birthday or anniversary. Every once in a while, I will highlight a day of death. Today is quite different, and quite possibly will be the only one of … More Gun Shot Wound at Wyse Fork Battlefield
Instead of writing a new post today, I am sharing an old one that was written on this day 6 years ago. Today is not only the birthday of the original Lichtenegger to arrive in this area, but also a very special one. Since Joseph Lichtenegger was born on March 2, 1850, this would be … More Happy 175th Birthday, Joseph Lichtenegger
Arthur Friedrich Meyr’s birthday is the starting point for today’s post. He was born on November 20, 1898, so today would be his 125th birthday. Arthur was the 5th and last child of Gustav and Clara (Scholl) Meyr. He was baptized, like all his siblings, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells. An image of … More Arthur Meyr – New Wells Auto Mechanic
I often check whether I have written a previous post about a character I am considering for a story. That’s because my memory is not so good. I have a few techniques for checking. One is to do a search on the blog for the exact name of the person. In today’s case in which … More Wittenberg Schade’s and Thurm’s
The surname, Puchbauer, has only shown up one time in a previous post on this blog. Today, that name will not just be mentioned briefly, it will be highlighted. Before I move on, let me say that I would pronounce this name, “pook-bower”, but when I mentioned this name at breakfast this morning, everyone pronounced … More Pocahontas Puchbauer’s
