I
received from this photos from a new found cousin
Axente. It was among his family photos brought
from Romania. This is the earliest known photo
of Elisabeth & the children. From the left... Katie
was about 13, Uncle John in next to the oldest,
about 12. Notice John and Martin 7 wore
similar outfits, while young Anton, 18 months old,
wore a dress, typical for that period.
Elizabeth 3 holds a hoola hoop?? I didn't know
they existed back then.

From
Mehala to
America
Elisabeth & children
Katharine 14, John 13, Martin 7,
Elizabeth 3, Anton 18 mo's immigrated to America 12 July
1907 to join Martin. Martin came to America 14 May1906.
Traveling
with Martin was Elisabeth's brother Anton Marmon's
wife, Suzanne Marmon & her baby Marie. Baby Marie died soon after
arriving. There is no
info known about Susanne, except on her death
certificate it states her father as Mihaly Kedro/Hedro?
The spelling is not clear.
Martin
was joining his brother-in-law
Michael
Schick in Atlanta.
I am
still searching for this person. On Anton
Marmon's manifest, it stated he too was
joining 'brother in law - Michael
Schick'
in Atlanta.' I located a passenger record for
Alexander
Schick,
who joined his brother Michael Schick in Atlanta. I have yet to
located these two men or learn anything of there connect to the Ingrisch
or Marmon families. **Update 2009: I have
solved the Schick mystery and located descendants.
Katie, shy of 2 months of
being 14 immigrated 12 July 1907 with her mother
Elizabeth and siblings John 13, Martin 7,
Elizabeth 3, Anton 18 mo's. They joined father Martin in Atlanta, Georgia where he had settled the year
before when he immigrated.
