From Patty Walker...Re: 1893 Gordon-Kratzer wedding. From Patty Walker Ryan: Jessie Gordon and Charlie Kratzer never had children. They are buried in old part of New Vienna cemetery very near her parents, and her unmarried brother and sister. The sister was Elizabeth Gordon, who lived her entire adult life with my grandfather, the only one of the 5 children to have any children - those were my mother and her sister Elizabeth. The brother who never married was killed working on the railroad at about age 25. The other brother was Harry Gordon, he is buried at the entry to the old part of New Vienna Cemetery with his wife Norma, no chidren. He worked in Cincinnati at Potter Shoe Company and he is the man who coined the term Stride Rite Shoes. He left my mother $$ to decorate the grave for he and his wife at Christmas and Memorial Day. I am sure he had no idea how wisely that money was spent - 65 years later she is still keeping her part of the bargain.<br />Charlie Kratzer took some excellent photos of my mother's family which are treasured family heirlooms. I see my mother was age 9 when he passed away.<br /><br />Love to read all these old names from New Vienna, Catherine.Catherine Uible Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02229128004745240802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956822733456620707.post-39617824390357508242014-01-05T18:09:44.778-08:002014-01-05T18:09:44.778-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Catherine Uible Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02229128004745240802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956822733456620707.post-69116568183203822002014-01-01T04:11:15.469-08:002014-01-01T04:11:15.469-08:00The E.J.

Cook was Ellis James Cook, as now corrected. My apologies for the error and thanks to John Salisbury for the correction.Catherine Uible Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02229128004745240802noreply@blogger.com
