Mortuary Notice for Rosie Maile
I re-found a newspaper article, in German, that had names I recognized, Gottfried and Emma Maile, my great grandparents. I had seen this article a few years back and just made a notation of it in my notes. When at the Family Research Center last week I re-discovered the article at the GenealogyBank.com site, took a photo with my camera, printed it, then did my best to translate the Mortuary Notice from German to English.
Mortuary Notice
Date: Sunday. April 19, 1896 Paper: New Jersey Deutsche Zeitung (Newark, New Jersey) Volume:17 Issue:2 Page:5
This is what I'm pretty sure it says....
Maile. -- Relative and friends here is the sad news that our beloved young daughter little sister and grand daughter Rosie Maile on Friday the 17 April at the age of 11 months, gently passed away peacefully.
The funeral serman takes place on Sunday (a word I can't decipher) 19 Apr afternoon at about 4 (something) from mourning house No. 66 Blum Str, (something) after the Woodland Cemetery.
The Mourning Survivors:
Gottfried and Emma Maile, born Wahl, parents;
John and Katherine Wahl, grandparents
Siblings and relatives
Rosie Maile was not in my data base. Neither were her grandparents John and Katherine Wahl.
I tried looking at the findagrave.com website for Woodland Cemetery but she was not listed.
Rosie is listed in the New Jersey Deaths and Burials Index 1798-1971 in Family Search though.
This is how Rosie's parents, Gottfried and Emma (Wahl) Maile fit into my family tree.
Gottfried Maile (1865-?) born Germany married Emma Wahl (1871-?) also born Germany
Their children: -Male Maile (1890-1890 stillborn)
-Katherine Maile (1891-not on 1900 census)
-Emma Maile (1892-1895)
-Katherine L. Maile (1893-?)
-Rosie Maile (1895-1986)
-Eliesabethe (Elsie) Margaret Maile (1897-1972) my grandmother
She married Herbert Condit (1894-1982) my grandfather
Their children: -Doris Emma Condit (1917-1982)
-Wilbur Herbert Condit (1919-2011) my dad
He married Helen Mary Motyka (1924-2004)
Their children: Crystal Carrie Condit -me
Thomas Owen Condit - my brother
-Kenneth George Condit (1930 - )
-Ema Maile (1898-1899)
- Lillian E. Maile (1901-1976)
- Carolina Maile (1902-? )
Unfortunately the only male child ,and first child of Gottfried and Emma Maile, did not survive. All the rest are females.
In the 1900 Census the information was given that Emma had 6 children, 2 living. This would mean the children would be Katherine, Emma, Katherine L, Rosie, Elsie, Ema. The 2 living would be Katherine L and Elsie. I'm assuming the male child, since he was stillborn, was not counted.
In the 1910 Census the information was given that Emma had 8 children, 4 living. This next 10 years would add Lillian and Carolina to the 6 to make 8 children and they would also be among the 2 others living in 1900 (Katherine L, Elsie) to equal 4.
It was fun trying to translate the Mortuary Notice from German into English. And I've learned some German words. Now that I have a little more confidence in myself, some German to English books along with a translating website, I may have to tackle a Baptismal or Christening certificate for my grandmother, Eliesabethe Margaret Maile, that needs translating. Again from German to English. And I believe one of the witnesses was my great grandmother Catherine Wahl.
