We have neither the birth nor the wedding record for young Franz Wenzl Lorenz, but the birth record for his son Philip, dated 23 June 1831, names Franz Wenzl as the legitimate son of Josef Lorenz (Hauswirt, house owner at Vogeldorf) and Franziska Rudolph from Schieferhütten. Franz Wenzl was Hauswirt, house owner, at Schönlind, and his gebürtig, birthplace, was the house numbered Two in the village of Vogeldorf, “Vater: Lorenz, Wenzl, Hauswirth im Markt Schönlind, gebürtig aus Vogeldorf Nr. 2, ehel.

Philip Lorenz was born on 23 June 1831 at 2:00 pm in Schönlind, Bohemia, now Krásná Lípa, Czech Republic. Philip is the second documented son of Franz Wenzl Lorenz and Theresia née Schoedl. Philip settled in Schönlind, where he married Wilhelmine Schuerer between 1851 and 1854. Their wedding record has not been found, but they were still single when the first son Franz was born on 13 January 1851; they were married by 25 March 1854, when their second child, Maria, was born. Parish records note that the wedding legitimized their son Franz as well.

Sophie was still living in Schönlind during the 1930s, and is fondly remembered by her great-niece Franziska Lorenz LaFrance. ‘Aunt Sophie’ had red hair so beautiful that even her American relatives spoke of it (it also helps to explain the red mustache of her nephew, our Frank Lorenz, and the red hair of her great-nephew Joseph in Hamilton, Ohio). Sophie lived in a large farmhouse on a hill that overlooked the town of Schönlind. The farmlands surrounded Schönlind, and all the farmers lived in town for security; they walked every morning to work in their fields. Meter describes such houses in Border People, The Böhmisch, “Old world houses were huge by American standards, running as much as a hundred feet in length, and. . . three stories high. Set upon a foundation of field stone, they were constructed with stone walls covered with a rough plaster. Beams and rafters would be cut from local trees. These homes had once been made of wood but this was prohibited due to the risk of fire. “Traditionally, the farm animals had been kept on the first floor. This made it easier to listen for sounds of trouble in the herd, and their heat also helped take the chill off the residents above. But in later years, people began to build separate stalls and mangers. Nearly every family had a few cattle, a milk cow or two, a few hogs, chickens or horses.

Herrn Franz Lorenz; 1338 Miami Chapel Road; Dayton Ohio; N. Amerika. City directories tell us that Frank and Rosa Lorenz lived here from 1909 - 1914; there is no date on the postcard because the postal stamp was removed, but we can see that the postmark said SCHöNLIND. “Lieber Onkel ü Tante, wir wünschen eüch recht fröhlich Weihnachtin und ein glücklich Neü Jahr. Warum schreibt Ihr nicht einmal? . . . S. Schönecker” [Translated by Frances Lorenz LaFrance; ‘Dear Uncle and Aunt, We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Why don’t you write to us? Greetings from your niece Anna, sister Sofia, and Brother in Law Josef Schönecker.’] This tells us the married name Schönecker of our Frank’s sister Sophie, her husband Joseph and daughter Anna.

Miscellany: “[Bohemian] fields were roughly two to thirty hectares (five to seventy acres) in size. Originally, these were long narrow fields that ran spokelike from the village, because turning an ox-drawn plow was difficult. But these shapes became awkward as farming techniques improved in the 19th century, and aspiring farmers pieced together several plots which they could work more efficiently. Many families also had their own wooded acreage for harvest as building materials or stove wood. In times of scarcity these might be sacrificed, but then the village faced hard times waiting for its fuel to grow again. Many villages also had communally-held pasture or forest grounds.”

Both daughters stayed in Bohemia, and little is know about them. It is probable that both married, but we do not know the name of Anna’s husband.

The 1884 city directory showed ‘Wenzel Lorenz’ working as a porter and boarding at the Teutonia Hotel. There is no street address listed, but the hotel’s name suggests it was located in the German-speaking ‘Over the Rhine’ area, where Wenzel would have had an easy transition to his new homeland. Pauline Bertsch Minke and Eva Hafner Lorenz (the wife of Wenzel’s nephew Anthony) remembered visiting ‘Uncle Wenzel’ at his home in Cincinnati. They described a house on a hill, with big front steps near a park. A visit in 1990 found a modest, two story house with white siding and a front porch reached by eight wide steps; a large brick chimney is in the back of the house. Nearby houses showed the same narrow townhouse construction. The north edge of Fairview Park is one block away, at the southern end of Enslin Avenue.HISTORY OF CINCINNATI STATES: “While German Americans settled in every part of Cincinnati, most of their cultural institutions and businesses were concentrated in Over-the-Rhine. The largest cluster of saloons, beer gardens, and concert halls - integral parts of German American culture - was along Vine Street and at its peak included more than fifty saloons and five theaters between the canal and McMicken Streets. By the 1870s, the Vine Street entertainment district was a major tourist attraction with a national, as well as a local, reputation. “Workshops, homes and businesses stood side by side. Small and medium-sized plants producing a variety of goods from furniture to fire engines were distributed throughout Over-the-Rhine. The largest factories were concentrated on major transportation routes. [By] the 1850s, ironworks, a stove plant and lumber and stone yards were near the Miami and Erie Canal. As more industries moved into the area, many, including a large number of wagon and carriage factories, established themselves on McMicken Street, the road to Hamilton [a town north of Cincinnati]. Breweries were set up along the canal and McMicken. “Almost every block included housing, some industry, and shops. By the latter decades of the nineteenth century, this mix began to diminish the area’s appeal as a residential district. The suburban ideal - single family homes with yards, isolated from industrial activity - was gaining popularity among middle-income families who began moving to new subdivisions in the surrounding hills.

Research by Kathryn Lorenz tells us that Anton and Anna went to Germany in 1913; perhaps they were able to visit relatives still living in Bohemia. The ship manifest record for 28 October 1913 at Ellis Island shows that they returned home to America on the SS Kronprinzessin Cecilie (named for Crown Princess Cecile) from Bremen, Germany. This ship was owned by the same Norddeutscher Lloyd Line on which Anton had emigrated twenty-five years previously; the Cecilie was launched in 1906 and accommodated 617 first class passengers, 326 in second class and 798 in third class. Barely six months after Anton’s voyage, Cecilie made her last voyage from Bremen before she was stranded in Boston (and confiscated by the American government) due to the imminent outbreak of World War I. Anton was lucky that he returned to America when he did, or he might have been detained in Germany. Their sons were not traveling with them. Anton Lorenz was a married male aged 51 in 1913; he had been naturalized on 11 November 1893 at Probate Court in Cincinnati Ohio. Anna was age 45.

Miscellany: In 1919, their cousin Rose Lorenz Bertsch sent a postcard from Dayton to her mother Rosa on the Polk Grove farm to say that she had been, “to Hamilton & they [Lorenz cousins] are all well.

The 1906 Hamilton City Directory lists Anton Lorenz, machinist, living with his wife Elizabeth at the corner of Commerce and Edgewood Streets, near Main Street in the northwestern part of Hamilton. Their son Joseph Lorenz, machinist, is also listed at the same address. This is a large wooden two-story house very similar to that at 206 Park Avenue, but it has fewer windows and no shutters. A portion of the ground floor is now occupied by a store and tavern; the entrance door has been cut into the corner of the building. The 1908 city directory lists Anton Lorenz, machinist; Joseph Lorenz, machinist; and Ben Lorenz, machine hand. They are still living at Commerce and Edgewood Streets, but Elizabeth is no longer listed. Presumably she had passed away, for by 1910 Anton has a new wife named Anna.

On 18 December 1914, Anna sent Christmas Greetings to our Frank and Rosa, Lieber Schwager und Schwagerin, translated by Cousin Frances LaFrance, “Hamilton; Dec 18/ 14; Dear Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law! You probably are thinking that I have forgotten about you, since I had not answered your letter for such a long time. We have tried repeatedly to visit you but Anton did not feel too well and it was hard to fit it in with his work. Our Julius works. . .” Presumably, this postcard was tucked inside an envelope with another that continued the message, as the writing covers the entire back of the postcard and there is neither address nor stamp. The picture shows a large poinsettia blossom resting on a decorated parchment scroll with a dangling red seal; the words say, ‘Best wishes for a Happy Christmas’. We also have an undated postcard showing purple pansies and a pastoral scene, “To Greet You”, with the message written in English, “Luella; I wish you a Happy Easter. Your Aunt Anna.”The following December, Anna wrote again to Frank and Rosa, “Here is another New Year wish, And tho’ tis but a card,‘Tis worth twice any other, For I wish it twice as hard.” The picture shows a snowy landscape with white birch trees and a distant farmhouse. Postmarked 29 December 1916 at Hamilton, Ohio, Anna wrote, “Dear brother-in-law and Sister-in-law, We received your postcard. We hope you are all well and in good health and spirits and wish you all a happy new year. Anna”

1891 GUIDEBOOK ADVERTISEMENT:Norddeutscher Lloyd regular weekly Mail-Steamships between Baltimore und Bremenon the new and tested First Class Mail-Steamships equipped with all the comforts.These steamships were built of steel in Glasgow according to the latest designs. The superiority of their construction and the containment of compartments in water-tight sections offer travelers the largest degree of safety against the dangers of the sea.Electric lighting in compartments and steerage. The arrangements for steerage passengers, with sleeping quarters located on the upper and second decks, are generally considered excellent. The length of the steamers is 415 - 435 feet, with a width of 40-49 feet.The steamships of Norddeutscher Lloyd have transported some 2,250,000 passengers safely across the sea !! Good Food ! Reasonable Prices !This line offers tourists and immigrants a superior choice for the crossing. Cheap train travel from Baltimore to points west. Protection against frauds in Bremen, at sea, and in Baltimore. Immigrants can board trains directly from the steamship and as a result avoid extra costs for the transfer of baggage. No need to change trains between Baltimore, Chicago, and St. Louis.Translators accompany the immigrant on the trip to points west.TURNVEREIN DESCRIPTION:Turnverein included cultural programs which focused on German heritage while adapting to a new homeland in America, “a major focus was to preserve traditional German customs, language and celebrations. . . [and] spread German culture through songs, poetry and literature. . . They also tried to support and encourage the harsh life [adapting to] a foreign country, and to establish a bridge between the old culture and the new by offering English language classes and strongly supporting American citizenship. [It was a] social center with lectures and libraries for the further education of the German emigrants. . . many had restaurants or a bar connected to their Turner halls.”

Now I close with many greetings and kisses to you from your Mother.“Dayton 7 September 1922 “Dear Luella, I received your letter and dishes, they are very pretty and I thank you many times for them, it was your birthday Tuesday and I could not give you anything, you know what I have. We were again early today at the doctor, we have for only June and August already paid out $85, and that is still not all. I spoke to the nurse today, she said they cannot help him, they can do nothing further for him than give him relief, today he feels badly again.“Now I close with many greetings and kisses to you from your Mother.” Frank lingered for four more months; he spent his final days as a patient at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in downtown Dayton.

Miscellany: On 30 August 1892, Frank Lorenz filed his DECLARATION OF INTENTION when he personally appeared before the “Probate Judge and Ex-Officio Clerk of the PROBATE COURT within and for the COUNTY OF HAMILTON aforesaid, [Frank was] a native of Austria aged about 27 years bearing allegiance to the Emperor of Austria, who emigrated from Bremen on the 2nd of May 1891 and arrived at Baltimore on the 15 day of May 1891, and who intends to reside within the jurisdiction and under the GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES, to-wit: He makes report of himself for NATURALIZATION, and declares on oath that it is bona fide his intention to become a CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and to forever renounce and abjure all ALLEGIANCE AND FIDELITY to every Foreign Prince, Potentate, State or Sovereignty whatsoever, and particularly to the Emperor of Austria.”On 16 October 1896, Frank had reason to celebrate his new American heritage when he “personally came to THE STATE OF OHIO, Hamilton County,probate court. . . and being admitted to CITIZENSHIP, by this court took the oath to support the Constitution of the United States of America, and that he then did absolutely and entirely forever renounce and abjure all ALLEGIANCE AND FIDELITY to every Foreign Prince, Potentate, State or Sovereignty whatsoever, and particularly to the Emperor of Austria.

Military: The Government of the United Statesextends an invitation toMrs. Rosa Lorenzto make a pilgrimage to the Cemetery in Europe where the remains of her Son are now interredLeaving New York on the Steamship America on May 7, 1930.A Dayton Journal news story dated 12 January 1930 further described the detailed arrangements,“Dayton Gold Star Mothers To Visit Graves of Heroes in France; Others Plan to Go Next Year; Two Weeks to be Allowed in Europe, With Everything Furnished; Touching Scenes are Enacted. Announced yesterday by Congressman Roy G. Fitzgerald, those who are going this year [include] Mrs. Rosa Lorenz, 121 East Fairview. . . The pilgrimage will be made shortly after May 1. . . the total number of widows and gold star mothers going this year from all over the nation will be 5,323. The total number entitled to make the trip during the time allotted, May 1, 1930 to October 31, 1933, is 11,440. . . All expenses will be paid by the government. Each one going will be provided with every possible comfort from their homes to France and return. It is estimated that the cost will average $840 per person. . . All mothers of American service men now buried in European cemeteries and widows of service men who have not remarried are entitled to make the trip. This is being done by the government as a token of recognition to those who gave their all and have not yet visited the graves of their loved ones. “Memories of more than 11 years ago were recalled. . . One mother said, ‘There is my boy in his uniform. He was so proud of it, and I too. That picture was taken just before he left. I never saw him again. Here is a picture of his grave. God bless him, I’ll soon see where he is resting. I was afraid that I would pass on and never see his grave’. . . Necessary papers have been sent. . . includes special passports, accommodations, re-entry papers, etc. Each one making the trip will be allowed two weeks in France. “Joseph Lorenz, member of the 150th Infantry, machine gun battalion, was wounded in September, 1918. He died on November 22. His grave will be visited by his mother.”On Monday, 5 May 1930, “Two mothers left Dayton [by train]. . . to visit the graves of their sons who marched away 12 years ago and never came back. Mrs. Rosa Lorenz and Mrs. Julia Lehwald, with gold star badges pinned on their breasts identifying them, said goodbye to relatives on the platform and were whisked away on the long pilgrimage. By the irony of fate, both the mothers are of German extraction. Their sons, killed in battle with the Germans in the fierce fighting of 1918, were buried in different cemeteries.”She wrote a letter home in German script and language, which was translated by her daughter Luella, “18 May 1930; Liebsten Kinder, Dearest children, Just a few lines to let you know I arrived well. It was about 10 o’clock Friday evening and by the time we were in our rooms and had a few things unpacked, it was one o’clock before we got to bed. Yesterday morning we all met in the sitting room where they told us everything we were going to do. In the afternoon we visited the grave of the Unknown Soldier and from there to the hotel for tea. There were a few higher ups there and they spoke until we returned to the hotel. It was already 6 pm. “Now it is between 7 and 8 pm. This morning we went to church and in the afternoon to the Cemetery Suresnes, where Joe is buried. It is a beautiful cemetery. But that was a little too much for one day, for I’ve had a headache since I came home. I will

Page 14

Our Lorenz Connectionsnot write much more as we are sailing again on the 29th and when I come I will be able to tell you all much better. “Mit besten grüßen und küßen, With best wishes and kisses, from your Mother”Joined by her daughter Josephine, Rosa stayed a few weeks with Luella in New York City before continuing on to Dayton. Rosa was interviewed “at the Brooklyn home of her married daughter, Mrs. Alfred Oelridge [sic],” by the New York World for publication in The Dayton Daily News, as the “first of the Dayton contingent to return to these shores”,Dayton War Mother Finds Joy and Sorrow in France “A cheery little lady of just past middle age who came to this country from Austria only to raise a son who was called upon to fight for her fatherland, Mrs. Lorenz said today that her pilgrimage was one of mingled ‘joy and sorrow.’ But in spite of the solemnity of visiting her boy’s grave, she now has the satisfaction of having seen the places where he fought valiantly, died and was buried. And she is exceedingly grateful to the government for having given her the opportunity and for the care with which the government keeps up our cemeteries in France. “Mrs. Lorenz said that the officials of both the United States and French governments had done everything within their power to make the Gold Star Pilgrimage a happy one. She was particularly impressed with the ovation given the group when it arrived on French soil at Cherbourg after a pleasant ocean crossing of ten days. Bands, cheers and speeches greeted them as they disem-barked from the tender. Given official courtesy, they were sped through the usually rigorous French customs inspection and started immediately for Paris, where they spent most of the following two weeks. “In Paris the group was divided into smaller groups, according to the cemeteries which each was to visit. Mrs. Lorenz and 18 others were guests at Hotel D’Iena. The group made almost daily visits to Suresnes, where the government furnished wreaths and fresh flowers for each mother and widow to put on the grave of her son or husband as the case might be. Suresnes, Mrs. Lorenz said, was kept in beautiful condition by a large crew of caretakers. Countless rows of marble stones, marking the graves beneath, rise from level turf so well kept as to look like green velvet. A beautiful stone chapel is just being completed. “When the groups were not at the cemeteries, they were taken about Paris and the battlefields on sight-seeing tours in huge buses. Mrs. Lorenz visited Chateau Thierry and Belleau Woods [Rosa told the interviewer that her Joe was wounded in action in Belleau Woods on 2 August 1918], and the trenches and dugouts still intact in these places, made her realize vividly what her son had been through.“In Paris she attended ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Cathedral of Sacre Coeur. She also visited Notre Dame, Versailles, the Louvre, and Napoleon’s Tomb. At many teas and luncheons, the group was fêted by high French and American officials, including General Pershing. Although in the center of things and styles feminine, Mrs. Lorenz said she spent very little time in actual shopping, although she smilingly admitted accompanying several others on their buying expeditions in the French shops. “I am glad to be home again,” she said in conclusion. “It has been a wonderful trip. I am feeling fine and I made many friends among the other Gold Star mothers. I am sorry that I had no opportunity to visit my old home in Austria, but time was too short. And I want to emphasize my appreciation of the courtesy and hospitality that was shown to all of us everywhere we went.”

Thanks to the front page of the Dayton Daily News on Veteran’s Day, 11 November 1941 (an ironic date; less than one month later Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was bombed and America was at war again), we have an amazingly personal expression of our Rosa’s thoughts and feelings about her family and about her adopted country. We see a photograph of Rosa looking at her family album, surrounded by the faces of Joseph F. Lorenz, William A. Bertsch, Joseph F. Bertsch, Hugh C. Bertsch, Lieut. Karl A. Minke, and young Karl A. Minke, Jr.

“Gold Star Mother Speaks on Armistice Day “On this 23rd World war Armistice day anniversary, one of Dayton’s Gold Star mothers, Mrs. Rose Lorenz, 73 years old, speaks some of her thoughts of the past, the present and the future. Mentally alert and physically active despite her years, she relaxes in a limousine with several other Gold Star mothers, a part of the Tuesday morning Armistice day parade here while the marching feet of veterans of past wars bring memories of that Nov. 11, 1918, when the world celebrated the end of a war to save democracy. “This Gold Star mother thinks and speaks of her son, Joseph Lorenz, who is buried in Suresnes cemetery, near Paris, France. He died Nov. 21, 1918, just 10 days after a joyous Armistice day celebration here, in which thousands paraded and jammed streets and sidewalks for miles. Wounds received in the Aisne-Marne offensive caused Joseph’s death. As the marching feet of yesterday’s soldiers beat an uncertain cadence, this Gold Star mother thinks and speaks of another crop of war veterans that may be in the making now. “The parade is over, she is driven back to E. Fairview avenue home of one of her six children. She sits quietly in a comfortable rocker, and she thinks of a mankind challenged by forces that would destroy or deny American ideals of liberty. She speaks, ‘If we all get together, if Uncle Sam puts his foot in now; it will soon be over.’ She has in mind America’s year-old preparations for defense. “She thinks that defense has to be speeded up, and that it has to be more than a preparation against attack. She sees the pulsing strength of millions of American men and women, in shops and in offices; on the farms and in the mines; in uniforms and in civilian clothing. She sees the need of all this potential strength amassed and thrown into the struggle now, to rid the world of

Again, she speaks, ‘This time, I hope, I pray, and I know, that they will catch him for good and for all time.’ “By ‘him’, Mrs. Lorenz means Hitler and all that he represents in this world struggle, which she sees as America’s own struggle if there is to be a hopeful future to leave to her descendants; if there is to be a spiritual heritage and a people’s government of men and women determined to remain free. Mrs. Lorenz believes that America must be ready for sacrifice again in the cause of freedom. She expresses that belief, not in a knowledge that she has made her sacrifice, but knowing that there is more of her flesh and blood that may be sacrificed ‘again, in our cause of human freedom.’ “This Gold Star mother, who lost one of her two sons in the World war, knows what faces her and her descendants if and when the United States again makes a supreme sacrifice. A daughter and a granddaughter have husbands in the armed service. Her nephew, virtually an adopted son [Anton Lorenz] is in the United States naval service. As she surveys these tragic times, with their possible consequences to this western world, she speaks as a Gold Star mother when she calls for the crash and roar of production, the delivery of tanks and planes, and machines, and metals to aid those who now are ‘protecting for us, values we hold dearer than life itself.’ “Mrs. Lorenz and her late husband came to the United States in 1891. She was born in the Hartz [sic; should be Erz] mountain regions of Neuhammer, the Bohemian part of Austria. That mountainous section, she remembers, was a part of the Sudetenland, which Hitler first masticated as his appetite for world domination grew. ‘When he went into the Sudetenland,’ Mrs. Lorenz recalls, ‘it looked like that would be all, but now look.’ She knows a lot about the struggles of the people in the Old World, a great part of which is being crushed beneath a dictator’s heel. She does not want this country’s national morale -- a faith of a people in themselves, in their actions and in their inner strength -- to be sapped as the morale of nations in other lands was dissipated. “This Gold Star mother, one of a score in Dayton who today observed another World war Armistice day, came to this city in 1901, from Cincinnati. Before World War No. 1, her family ties were interwoven with the United States armed service. In 1916, her eldest daughter Rose married William A. Bertsch, a soldier on the Mexican border. One of her granddaughters, Pauline Bertsch, was born in 1917 at Camp Colt, Gettysburg, Pa. That same granddaughter is now living at Camp Shelby, Miss. She is the wife of Lieut. Karl A. Minke. Mrs. Lorenz’s great-grandson, Karl Minke, jr., was born last year at Piqua, and is now with his parents, Lieut. and Mrs. Minke, at Camp Shelby. “Two grandsons, Hugh C. Bertsch and Joseph F. Bertsch, the sons of Army Staff Sgt. William A. Bertsch, who has been in the service continuously since 1912, soon will be entering the armed service. Hugh Bertsch, who won a fellowship to Harvard, graduated cum laude in June 1940, and who was commissioned a second lieutenant in the field artillery unit, Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, is now employed in a chemical works in St. Louis. He has been notified that he will be called to active duty in 60 days as a second lieutenant with the field artillery. “Joseph F. Bertsch, who was born in 1922 at Fort Sam Houston, Tex, is enrolled in the coast artillery unit, reserve officers training corps, and expects to major in aeronautical engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Upon completion of his training, he expects to go into service, on active duty with the coast artillery. “‘And Pauline writes me,’ smiles Mrs. Lorenz, ‘that if Karl has to go, she will drive an ambulance, and I can take care of young Karl. Yes, I’d like that.’ In New York, another of Mrs. Lorenz’s daughters, Mrs. Louella Cochran, a registered nurse, is taking ‘refresher training’. She writes her mother, ‘We want to be ready when we are needed.’ “Anthony Lorenz, the second son to see World War No. 1 service, was in the army before the United States entered that war. After the Armistice, he came back home to Dayton; and is now a city fireman at the Main and Forest avenue station. ‘We just don’t know where Anthony, my other boy, is,’ says Mrs. Lorenz. She refers to her nephew (whom she calls her boy), Anthony Lorenz, who joined the United States navy two years after he came to this country from Austria. Sailor Lorenz is now chief commissary steward ‘somewhere on the Pacific side.’ “Mrs. Lorenz thought of and talked about all these things as she thumbed through the family album at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Walter [sic] Lightner, the wife of a Dayton letter carrier. The Armistice day parade ranks had long since broken; soldiers of yesteryear’s wars were on their way home, or to meetings, and speeches, as Mrs. Lorenz closed her family album. “It could have been a coincidence, that all the while this Gold Star mother was speaking of the past, the present and the future, she had not turned the pages of that photographic family history further forward than to the year 1918. On that page are three photographs: One of Joseph Lorenz, a serious-faced youngster in a dark brown suit and a celluloid collar; another, taken in the Suresnes cemetery (near Paris, France), of a white cross, on which is this inscription: ‘Private Joseph Lorenz, 113391, Co. C 150 M.G. Bn., died Nov. 21, 1918;’ and the third of Mrs. Rose Lorenz, taken in 1930, as she stood beside that white cross. “Mrs. Lorenz remembers that photo taken in France in 1930. She talks about ‘going across’ with other Gold Star mothers who made the trip to see other such white crosses. She, too, remembers the France of that day, and she thinks of what she reads about the occupied France of today. She thinks of many things, among them that ‘right cannot compromise with wrong,’ this Gold Star mother, who speaks: ‘And if we all get together, if Uncle Sam puts his foot in it now, it will all soon be over.’ by Joe Scherrer”

Our Lorenz Connections “A little old lady, a Gold Star mother, passed away on 5 September 1952. . There was no sound of brass trumpets, no eulogies of her goodness and her accomplishments. . . She had not served materially in high places or offices, her name had passed unnoticed among those of her sisters, but she was truly goodness in all its aspects and definitions. Her friends mourned her, for by her simplicity of word and action she had become entrenched in their hearts. “As she gave of her love and service to her God, so did she give unstintingly of her love, time and patience to her fellow man. Time had aged and mellowed her. Sadness and memories of her own she had, but these were discovered only after her death: a few cherished pictures, a bit of ribbon here, a verse there, her son Joseph’s medal and keepsakes and many more. As we look back we can only surmise and have a kaleidoscopic view [of] the scenes she must have enacted when alone. A little old lady, but her memories were forever young and tender. Age produces wrinkles, but in memory there are none of these.”

EMAIL MARCH 2007: Hello from Bavaria - Germany! Josef Lorenz (*1827) married 1869 - after the death of his first wife -  Regina Krautner.What a surprise to hear from you. Indeed I happen to be very often in Schönlind, where my mother was born. It is only 300 km from here and there is a very nice, beautiful landscape. The village is half destroyed as all the Germans had to leave in 1946. There is only one old lady of German descent. She knows a lot of all the old families. The neighbor-village Vogldorf is completely destroyed.As I am interested in our family-history I did a lot of research. By this I met an old lady from Schönlind, she is 95 and was also pushed out in 1946. She even remembers, when my grandfather returned from first world war in 1918. And she knows too that the uncles of my mother went to USA. She even was the best friend of my mother. My mother is a daughter of Valentine Lorenz. She always told me, that the half-brothers of her mother Valentine went to USA. My cousin told me in 1985 that they went to Cincinnati. In this year I even tried to phone to one Lorenz - family in Cinci, without success. Perhaps it was the wrong family. Last year I discovered by incident the excellent Lorenz-Homepage. My congratulations! It was very interesting to be read. But just one information: the town Schönlinde is in North-Bohemia and is not Schönlind. I have some old view cards from that home of our ancestors and even new photos. In some books are also published some histories. My postal address: Reinhold Erlbeck, Kistlerstraße 2, D-85635 Höhenkirchen Yours truly; Reinhold Erlbeck

Maria f.e. was born on 7.8.1874 in House Nr. 28 too. Her mother was Regina, born Kräutner from Kohling Nr. 44. Schödl was living in Nr. 90 in Schönlind.

FROM REINHOLD: My grandfather Hüttl had a brother who went in the Austrian Monarchie to Hungaria. He was a glassmaker.  I found a trace in a small town in later Romania, but he got lost. But I met in Schönlind last year an old lady, the last German, and she told me, that during the war a family Hüttl came back from Hungaria. And it is the same with the Lorenz-familiy. I am still astonished, that my cousin Walter knew exactly about Cincinnati. There must have been connections after WW I.
