Generation No. 3

3.  Agnes Marie RICHTER (Louis Julius2, Julius1) 5 was born 06 February 1893 in Bethlehem, Northampton County, Pennsylvania (6,7,8), and died 18 May 1978 in Fountain Hill, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania (8).  She married Pearl Ulysses DANNER (8) 03 May 1915 in Allentown, Lehigh County, Pa.(9), son of William DANNER and Araminda RAVERT.  He was born 12 June 1894 in Walnutport, Northampton County, Pa, and died 25 December 1957 in Fountain Hill, Lehigh County, Pa.

Notes for Agnes Marie RICHTER:
          Agnes grew up in a poor German Catholic family in a small rented house in Fountain Hill. She was one of seven children.
          As a child, Agnes became very sick one year near Easter time and nearly died. Her family started calling her "Bunny". It was a nickname that her family and friends would use for the rest of her life.
          Agnes had her first child, Joseph, out of wedlock, because her parents refused to let her marry
a man who was of Hungarian ancestry. She married Pearl Danner when Joseph was less than one year of age. Although Joseph was never formally adopted, Pearl always treated him as if he were his own son.
          As a twin, Agnes and her sister, Lizzie often had identical tastes in clothing. Agnes's daughter recalls one occasion when she and her mother were shopping for a dress to wear to a funeral. Agnes found one she liked and bought it. When she wore it to the funeral, she saw her
sister had on identical dress! It turned out that Lizzie had even bought her dress at a completely different store.
          As she got older, Agnes became a little eccentric about some things. She especially liked to hide money because she thought someone would steal it from her. But her choice in hiding places were often a bit bizarre, such as when she hid some money in the toaster. The money was discovered when her daughter-in-law, Connie, made toast and the money caught on fire!
          Agnes was also known to tell people that nobody gave her any food. She would sometimes go to visit her granddaughter, Judy, at the bottom of Warren St. and say that nobody had fed her!

Notes for Pearl Ulysses DANNER:
              In 1910, Pearl and his sister Erma are listed as the purchasers of a lot adjacent to the one owned by his aunt, Malissa Danner, on Moravia St. in Fountain Hill. Considering that Pearl was only 16 at the time, and his sister only about 10, the land was likely purchased by their father and put in their names. The purchase price was $325.00.  In 1939, Pearl sold his share of the land to his sister, Erma for $1.00.
           
             As a young man,Pearl worked for Peter Moll, a blacksmith on Seneca St. in Fountain Hill (est. 1913). Later, Pearl was employed by the the railroad at the Bethlehem Steel Co. In the 1930's he began to experience health problems, which the doctor told him was because of "floating kidneys". At this time he went to work at the Open Hearth furnaces at the steel and continued to work there until he retired. He was also a volunteer firefighter. In his spare time, he enjoyed going to the auto races.
          Pearl had a very nice singing voice and would always listen to German hour on the radio and sing along with the music. He also enjoyed playing the harmonica and would sit out on the bench under the apple tree in the backyard with his sons and play his favorite songs.
          Throughout his life, Pearl owned a variety of different cars, including Ford Model T's, Dodges,
and Touring Cars.
