St. Louis Holidays With The Mosblechs

Die Mosblechs haben sehr große Familien in der Regel. Mein Urgroßvater Eduard Mosblech war eines von zwölf Kindern. Eduard hatte vierzehn Kinder und seine Brüder hatte zwölf und dreizehn Kinder bzw.. Ich habe zwar noch nicht in der Lage, die Größe der beiden anderen Familien überprüfen, sowohl Mama und ich erinnere mich, es ist die gleiche Art und Weise. Grandma Ellis ein Bild aus der Zeitung, weil der St hatten. Louis Post-Dispatch hat eine Geschichte über sie zu 1 Jahr, weil die Familie war so groß,.

Wir waren darüber, wie schwer es sein würde, Familienfeiern haben zu reden und meine Mutter erzählte eine Geschichte darüber, wie die Mosblechs zum Erntedankfest haben, Weihnachten, Ostern, etc, als meine Großmutter Alivna M. Mosblech Ellis war ein Kind.

Ihre Großeltern, Gustave und Bertha Mosblech besaß zwei Häuser mit einem großen Garten. Eines der Häuser hat einen Speiseraum, Küche und Wohnzimmer. Ich denke, Gustave und Bertha in diesem Haus schliefen auch. Das andere Haus war fast alle Schlafzimmer. Die Familie würde in den beiden Häusern zu sammeln. Ich fühle mich für Oma versucht, all die Cousins ​​erinnern’ Namen. Es muss ein interessanter Tag haben, wenn sonst nichts.

In those days, the kids ate after the adults. It was a different time and children were not held up like they are today. Als ich ein Kind war,, my parents would not eat until all of us kids had been served. It was just the opposite years ago. My grandfather told me that when you had chicken the kids developed a taste for backs because that is what was going to be left.

The adults would send all the kids over to the house with the bedrooms, while they ate the holiday meal. After they were done eating, the kids went over to the dining room. The adults usually went to the back yard. I guess they had a fire during the winter months.

I started doing some research and found that the houses were in the 200 block of E. Schirmer Street in the Patch neighborhood. One of the houses, was gebaut wurde 1892 is still standing. It appears to be a rental property. The other house was torn down to be replaced with a utility building in 1987.

Gustave passed away in May 1924. Bertha followed him in March 1925. Their son Frank O. Mosblech took ownership of one of the houses, which is the one still standing. Gustave and Bertha lived at 211 E. Schirmer, which was replaced with the utility building.

I recently completed the book version of the Ellis-Mosblech family history. If you are interested in the book, it can be accessed indem Sie hier klicken.

My grandmother and her brothers and sisters tended to have smaller families. Several sisters had only one child or three to four at the most. Uncle Frances was a notable exception. He had twelve children but I am pretty sure that he was the only one who had more than four children.
