Anton Daniel

Information by A. Feller (descendant of Anna Maria Daniel and Raimund Kilian Jakob):

"My mother remember all siblings of Anna Maria Daniel and she also know that Anton Daniel of Wenigumstadt was married to Elisabethe (Lisetta) Herkert of Hettigenbeuern. One of his friends of Wenigumstadt was also married in Hettigenbeuern, but she didn't know his name. Since at that time young farmers were missing in Hettigenbeuern, they were welcome. The relations with Wenigumstadt remained. My Grandma and her sisters Irma and Klara about 1920 sometimes visited the relatives in Hettigenbeuern by bicycle. They were very enthusiastic about Hettigenbeuern.

Anton Daniel must have been very homesick for Wenigumstadt. When he got sick, he moved his sickbed to a window, from which he could look in the direction to Wenigumstadt. From there he always waited for visits from Wenigumstadt. 'es Marie´sche is nit do' (is Marie not here? =Anna Maria Daniel, wife of Raimund Jakob) 'es is koa Gret doa' (is Margaret not here? =Margaretha Geiss nee Daniel), 'es is koa Simon doa' (is Simon not here? = his brother in law) and then he called up all his siblings. The distance to Hettigenbeuern at this time was very far and visitation therefore rarely. His wife must have been a very lovable woman.

In the attic my mother still has a family tree and may be some more information and she want to look for it next weeks."
