Charles and Sophia's second child was a son named Charles who was born around 1866 in Switzerland. This first son died in New York sometime before 1872.
Child number three was a daughter named Marie Josephine who was born on the 29th of December, 1868 in Manhattan, New York, New York. Marie Josephine married a man whose last name was Till. Further information on this Mr. Till has been slow in coming as has additional information for the couple.
The fourth child was a boy who was born on the 29th of November, 1870 in Hoboken, Hudson, New Jersey. The boy's name is not listed on his birth record and no other mention is made of him in other family records. We can only assume he died in infancy or early childhood.
Child number five was a son named Charles C. who was born on the 19th of February, 1872 in Hoboken, Hudson, New Jersey. On the 30th of January, 1894 Charles C. married Mary E. Daw. The couple had four children, all of which live to adulthood.
The sixth and last child was a son named Hans who lived only two years. Born sometime in 1875, Hans died on the 8th of May, 1877 in Hoboken, Hudson, New Jersey.
I really enjoy the layout, picture, and how easy this is to read.
ReplyDeleteActually, that 3rd child, Marie Josephine, was first married to Alfred Ruegg (ca 1892), also Swiss-German, in the silk business. They had 2 children: Marga and Erhart.
ReplyDeleteMarga († ca. 1970), an accomplished musician, married Rude Klatte, a dutch cellist; Erhart (†1950) married (1) Aimée Seyfort, an artist, who bore him 2 children, Diane and David; (2) Lea Massaro, producing a son, Erhart; (3) Lisette Verea, a Romanian-born movie actress.
It was not til after Alfred's death ca 1923, that Josephine Mattmann Ruegg married Capt. Lewis Till, veteran of the Boer War. She died ca 1951.
Thank you! I spent a lot of time trying to piece this part of Josephine's life together and it was so frustrating to be so tantalizingly close and yet so very far away. Thank you for filling in the gaps for me. Do you have any other information for the Mattmann family that you would be willing to share? They are of great interest to me, as you can see. My e-mail address is camille@lineagenetwork.com. Thanks, once again.
DeleteI am Wendy Wood Mattmann (formerly Read) McHale born 8/4/50. Daughter of Barbara Moore and Charles Theodore; granddaughter of Isabel Wood and Theodore. Marie Josephine was my great grandmother referred to as “Tanta Jo” from what I’ve been told. My second cousin, Jane Keltie (daughter of Sophia Mattmann and Ralph Keltie) told me a lot about my family - the names she passed on are reflected in your summation above. What is your interest in the Mattmann family?
