Johanna (Anna) Buchhold

Educated guess regarding the children of Johanna (Anna) Buchhold based on a transcription of a letter (in German) from Fritz Buchhold in Neukirchen, Germany to his brother Rudolph Adolph in Louisville, KY dated 18 Nov 1931 -

"From the children of Anna I hear very seldom. Erich the oldest does not write at all and from Paul we receive a letter every year, the same from Franz Leyendecker. Did you hear anything from Kurt Leyendecker? He is now in America, don't know if he found a place to work or not. Hanna and her children were here for 3 months. Albert her husband could not come because of the bank where he was working went bankrupt and he lost his job, he is now working in an automobile parts store dept. as bookkeeper. As soon as the bank is to be reopened he will go back to his job, he is too much of a banker. His son is also out of work most of the time. His daughter is a dressmaker, and makes a little money to keep above water. Philip draws some pension from the city.

I was glad to hear from Carrie. Philip translated the letter. Gustel(?) is still in the postal service and is now learning postal telegraphy which she needs to become a permanent job. Katchen(?) still has trouble with her legs, she has to move that dust rag every day otherwise she doesn't feel good...." - Wayne Roberts
