Descendants of Michael Wein

1. MICHAEL WEIN1 was born 29 September 1829 in Hoheinod, Bavaria, Germany(2,3) and died 31 January 1889 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He married ANNA MARIE HOFFMAN 30 September 1855 in St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Easton, Pa.. She was born 09 February 1832 in Europe(4) and died 13 December 1905 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania(5).

Notes for MICHAEL WEIN:

Michael Wein came to the United States in 1854. According to the papers he filed at the courthouse to apply for his naturalization, he was born in Hoheinod, Bavaria. Although the name of the ship on which he sailed is not yet known, we do know that he embarked on his transatlantic journey from the port of Havre in France. He arrived in October of 1854 at the port of New York.

The next record we have for him is a marriage record at St. Joseph's Catholic church of Easton. He married Anna Maria Hoffman on 30 Sept. 1855. The ceremony was conducted in Bethlehem, probably at the small German Catholic church. In October of 1856 Michael applied for naturalization at the Lehigh county courthouse. Also in that year, his first child, John, was born and baptised by the priest from Easton. In 1858 another son, Augustus, was born. No baptismal record has been found for this child. There are records from the old Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Allentown for the baptisms of three daughters, Mary Ann, Elizabeth, and Louise Marie, all born between 1859 and 1863.

In 1860, Michael's naturalization was officially granted at the Northampton County courthouse in Easton.

So far, the census records for this family have not been located for the year 1860.

The next records for the family are found at Holy Infancy Catholic Church in Bethlehem. Michael's son, Francis, was baptized there in 1866 and his daughter, Anna Marie C. was baptized in 1868 (this would be Caroline, who marries Louis Richter).

According to the 1870 census, Michael and his family lived in South Bethlehem, and he was employed at the Brass Works. The 1880 census simply lists him as a laborer.

Michael and his wife had at least two more children, Thomas and Agnes, in the 1870's.

Notes for ANNA MARIE HOFFMAN:

There is not much known about Anna Maria Wein. Accroding to the 1900 census, she arrived in the United States in 1855. If this is correct, she must have married Michael soon after her arrival.

After her husband's death, she continued to live in South Bethlehem. At the time of the 1900 census, she lived on 3rd st. in a rented house with her daughters, Carrie and Agnes, and their four children.

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.
