August 13, 2006: First Visitors at Our New Home

We closed on our new home in Granbury, Texas, on Friday, July 28, 2006, and started moving the next day, but didn't spend our first night there until Monday, July 31.  Less than two weeks later, on Sunday, August 13, we had our first guests - my library school friend Kay and her husband Lark.

But just for the day - we had furniture in the master bedroom, dining area, and study - and that was it.  That's why these pictures were taken with us sitting on the fireplace hearth - because there wasn't much else to sit on, other than three barstools we got with the house (and some chairs described below).  

Kay and Lark had been in Denton the day before for Kay's graduation from library school (University of North Texas), and drove the 74 miles (1.5 hours) to see us that Sunday, before heading home.

Above:  Mark, me, Kay, Lark, 13 August 2006, Granbury, Texas.

Below:  Mark and me, 13 August 2006, in our home in Granbury, Texas.  Photo by Kay.

The photo above gives an indication of how little we had (or had unpacked) at that point.  Some photos Mark had at his apartment are on the fireplace mantel, and there are boxes to unpack in the entertainment center area (to the right), next to one of the stereo speakers.

The initial furniture was mostly mine - a double bed (later moved to the study, later sold), a rectangular table and chairs that I'd had since 1979 (two chairs broke, table is now in study along with one chair, other chair in guest room), a computer desk (now sitting in hall waiting to be sold or donated), and a bookshelf (still in use in guest room).  Mark's apartment was furnished, but we brought over items he'd purchased while living there - a computer desk, a printer stand, a couple folding bookcases, two wooden TV trays (we later got two more), as well as the TV and small chest of drawers it sits on (all still used, although that old-style TV in the master bedroom is only used to watch old videotapes and DVDs).

By this point he'd also bought a La-Z-Boy as well as a wooden end table (the latter  at a consignment store), both of which are still in the master bedroom.  Mark planned to go to California in late September to get the rest of his stuff there, which included some furniture.  After moving my stuff out of storage in Grapevine and out of the apartment on a 100-plus-degree day, Mark wanted to wait to move his California items into the garage when it was cooler.  We (mostly he; his taste was far better) bought other stuff in the meantime.

Mark's Gibson Guitar (and some songbooks and tools)

Back on July 13, two of our granddaughters, Holly and Lindsey, came to visit me. I'd decided to give them Mark's 1958 Gibson guitar, that he told me he bought at a pawn shop in Lubbock (when he was a student at what was then Texas Technological College, 1960-65) for some ridiculously low price ($25 or $50, I can't remember which).  A lightweight guitar case came with it, which can be seen in the background in the photo above, which is of Mark and oldest daughter Kim (Holly's mom), taken in or before November 1965.

Sixty years later, the case in the photo was pretty beat up, but Lindsey had an extra one at home that she put the guitar into, and sent me this picture:

Above:  Mark's 1958 Gibson guitar in its "new" case. Photo by Lindsey.

Below:  Lindsey tries out the Gibson.

I never got to hear Mark play this guitar in Corpus Christi.  When we got back together in 2006, the arthritis in his hands had gotten so bad that he could no longer play.  Nevertheless, he'd kept this guitar (as well as a Martin he bought in 1992 and gave to son Drew between 2007 and 2018).  

I remember trying to find a place to repair the Gibson back in 2006 or 2007 - there wasn't a place locally back then.  Amazingly, just before Holly and Lindsey visited, I found a retired gentleman just 15 minutes away who restrung and tuned it, and cleaned and polished it, all for a very reasonable price.

The guitar has T 5365 7 stamped inside the sound hole at the bottom of the neck.  I used a number of websites that all indicated the T meant the guitar was made in 1958.

While they were here, we also looked through some old photo albums.  Lindsey spotted the guitar, or its case, in a number of them from 1964 and 1965.  A few days after they left, I was scanning a bunch of old black-and-white negatives that had Mark in the images, and I found another with the guitar, from about 1979.

Below:  Mark's parents Francis and Jewel Moore Gresham with granddaughter Kim in Lubbock, June 1964.

I also gave the girls some of Mark's music / song books.  A few had notes inside them.  The Josh White Song Book, published in 1963, was a first Father's Day gift to Mark from his parents and sisters Ann and June, during their visit to Lubbock in June 1964, pictured above.

Below:  "To Mark on your first Father's Day from all the family," written on the first page of The Josh White Song Book.  It's also stamped with the name and address of the shop in Bremerton, Washington (where Mark's parents and sisters lived at the time) where it was purchased.  Photo by Holly.

Another was The Judy Collins Songbook from 1969, where Mark had made some notes about chords on the song "Early Mornin' Rain," a favorite for both of us, written by Gordon Lightfoot (my favorite solo singer).

Above:  Mark's 1969 Judy Collins Songbook.  Photo by Holly.

Below:  "Early Mornin' Rain" by Gordon Lightfoot in The Judy Collins Songbook, where Mark made some notes about chords.  Photo by Holly.

Mark also had a few copies of Reprints From Sing Out! The Folk Song Magazine, including the one pictured below, Volume Three from 1961, where he'd made some notes on the song "East Virginia."  (Mark also borrowed a book about the folk songs of North America from the Texas Tech library, and forgot to return it.  I'll be doing that soon.) 

Above:  Volume Three of Mark's Reprints From Sing Out! The Folk Song Magazine.  Photo by Holly.

Below:  The song "East Virginia" in Volume Three, with Mark's notes.  Photo by Holly.

Holly sent a picture of the songbooks on her bookshelf.  Besides the ones mentioned (the Reprints booklets are stored in the piano bench), I also gave her Mark's 1964 Joan Baez Songbook and his 1973 Carole King Anthology: From Then to Now.

Above:  Mark's songbooks are the four to the right on Holly's bookshelf.  Photo by Holly.

Below:  Holly with a couple of Mark's tools that she picked out.  The one on the left (in her right hand) is a Buffalo impact driver (apparently vintage) and the one on the right (in her left hand) is a Sears Craftsman beam style torque wrench (also vintage).  She actually knew what they were and what they are used for.

Holly is quite the handywoman, and was very interested in Mark's tools.  Besides the two she's pictured with above, she also took Mark's Sears Craftsman 6-inch bench vise.  Now, this is a tool I've actually used recently - to crack open glued cassette tape cases, to move the broken tapes inside to cases (with tapes I didn't like) that are sealed with easy-to-open screws.  I figure if I need to do that again, a neighbor will let me borrow a bench vise.  I still have plenty of clamps.

Above and below - Mark's bench vise installed on Holly's workbench.  Photos by Holly.

Holly and Lindsey plan to come back in the autumn, when it's cooler and they have more time, and stay overnight, and help me sort through Mark's tools, many of which he inherited from his dad, to determine what to keep and what to pass on to the kids and grandkids.  There are at least eight toolboxes full, plus assorted other tools on Mark's two workbenches, hanging on a pegboard, or in/on various cabinets, drawers, and shelves in the garage.  I hope Lindsey will play for us on Mark's former guitar.

July 16, 2006: House Update

As I wrote in my online journal on July 15, 2006 - if something can go wrong, it will:

Well, you might know, I bragged in here too early about the house we were trying to buy. The appraisal came in on Thursday [July 13] and it is significantly lower than the sales price. The builder says he won't come down on the price. Currently he is in an RV on the way to Colorado. The mortgage company won't loan above the appraisal amount (and I can't blame them) except at a premium interest rate. We don't have the cash to pay the difference, and I would be resentful anyway paying that much (>10%) more than the house is appraised for.

We are now in a bit of a bind because we gave notice at our apartment and need to be out around the end of the month. The landlady has already pre-leased it to someone else. Thanks to all the Barnett Shale drilling going on around here, there are absolutely no vacancies anywhere. Not that I am too crazy about moving somewhere else, going through that hassle and having to sign a lease, even if short-term, only to (hopefully) move again into our newly-purchased home.

I really like the neighborhood and there is a brand new house across the street that is also for sale. Different builder and about 250 square feet smaller. It is also overpriced. We think we might have more luck convincing this builder to come down, because two of the three homes used as comps in the existing appraisal were his homes! One of those is in this same 23-lot neighborhood (that only has 8 occupied homes so far), and there was ANOTHER home he built in the neighborhood that could have been used as a comp if it hadn't sold just over a year ago.

I did some calculations based on the adjustments the appraiser made for different square footage in the comps, which is about the ONLY adjustment he made as almost everything else you'd make adjustments for is similar. I came up with a potential appraised value for this second house that ranges from a low of $35K less than the asking price to $8K less. We are thinking of offering the higher number, with a clause that we will pay that or the appraised value, whichever is lower.

Naturally, this being Saturday, we are having a hard time getting hold of anyone to make this happen. Meanwhile the month continues to tick away...

--------

So on Sunday, July 16, 2006, Mark and I toured the house across the street from ours.  I'd seen it before, back in early June during the Hood County Builders Association annual Showcase of New Homes, but this was Mark's first time inside.  I think from his facial expression, you can tell that he (like me) did not like this house quite as much as the one we did buy.

Above:  Mark inside the house across the street from the one we ultimately bought, leaning on the breakfast bar.

Below:  We forgot to bring a measuring tape, so I took this photo of Mark using his arms to measure the space to the right of the fireplace and just below a built-in glass-front cabinet.

I'm going to skip ahead a week, to July 22, 2006, and tell the rest of the story:

We are back with the first house!

We did make an offer on the 1636-square-foot house (hereafter referred to as 1636SF) across the street last Saturday, at the figure our realtor thought the house would appraise at, which was $15K under the asking price. That builder countered with a figure about $9K higher; we countered again but he held firm. So, it looked like we would get that house for about $6K under the asking price, and about $10K more than what we thought it would appraise for, which we were willing to pay.

The signed paperwork on that deal was turned over to the mortgage company on the 19th, and they were asked to prepare the letter for the first builder (the 1886-square-foot house, aka 1886SF) to formally inform him the appraisal came in low so the deal was off. In the meantime, though, that builder called our realtor and requested a meeting.

Our realtor went to see him the morning of the 20th. Apparently, he needs to get 1886SF out of his inventory because of the other projects he has going on, and was now willing to deal. He dropped the price to one 15K less than that on the contract, 10K above the appraisal.

In the meantime, the mortgage broker talked to the appraiser about 1636SF, and the appraiser quoted a figure that was also about 10K less than the contract. We decided that if we were going to have to come up with 10K cash for a house, we'd rather have 1886SF, because it is bigger and nicer (1636SF does not have hardwood floors, for example).

I had thought we would lose our earnest money if we dropped out of the deal on 1636SF, but I had forgotten we paid $50 for a ten-day option (meant to allow for inspections and such) where we could back out for no reason. So, we did just that on 1636SF, just losing the $50, and that house was only off the market for a day (if even that; I don't think the listing agent had even gotten around to updating the Multiple Listing Service).

We did this AFTER getting the revised contract at the new price initialed by all parties on 1886SF, which happened in the evening on the 20th. We are back to getting 1886SF for $20K less than the builder's original asking price, and we will be able to close by the end of the month, Wednesday [July 26, 2006] at the earliest, hopefully Friday the 28th at the latest.

So, this weekend we will be busy packing boxes. Next Saturday we'll go get my stuff out of storage, as otherwise we will not have a bed to sleep on!

July 12, 2006: Wildflower Bouquet

I came home from work - only my sixth day on the job as a new librarian at Tarleton State University - and was so pleased to find these on the dining area table!  Mark had picked these wildflowers in the field next to our apartment building.

July 8, 2006: Twins Baseball

We were invited to a number of baseball games of our twin grandsons, Adam and Drew, in April and May 2006.  If we did go to any, there is no record - we did not take photos, and there's no reference to them in any emails.  Perhaps we didn't go, as the games were in Allen, Texas, then a good two-hour drive from Granbury, and I was pretty busy in April and May with school and work and applying for jobs.

However, the boys' team, the Yankees, played in a tournament in Bowie, Texas, on Saturday, July 8, 2006, so we drove up to watch the game.  Afterwards we probably went out to eat, and then spent some time visiting with Mark's daughter Kim and her husband Mike while the boys swam in the pool at the motel they were staying at for the tournament.

Above:  Kim with Adam and Drew after the baseball game in Weatherford, Texas, July 8, 2006.  Mark took this photo.

Below:  Adam and Drew and two other children play at the pool at the motel in Weatherford, Texas, July 8, 2006.

Don't ask me to tell you which twin is which.  Even now, when they are almost 30-year-old adults, I can only tell them apart because they live in different cities and they have girlfriends who aren't twins.

July 4, 2006: Hometown Celebration

For over 50 years now, our town of Granbury, Texas, has hosted an old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration.  There's a parade in the morning from the high school down the main road of town (Pearl Street) to the Hood County Courthouse square, then around it and back to the high school via Bridge Street (runs parallel to Pearl) and some back roads.  As the parade wrapped around the square, children who had participated in a bike/trike decorating contest joined in.

Mark and I drove from the apartment and parked somewhere within reasonable walking distance of the square - maybe in the driveway of our soon-to-be home, which is five blocks away.  We spent a little time after the parade wandering around the booths set up on the square itself, where Mark took the photo below.

Mark loved for me to wear that Stetson.  It originally belonged to my son, and was purchased for him in Bandera, Texas, in July 1998, when he was twelve.  He outgrew it, so it became mine.  I probably decorated it with a small flag for this day, but it always has an artificial bluebonnet in the ribbon around the crown.  I'm wearing a necklace and earrings Mark gave to me, and holding a fan distributed by a local business.

We could have gone to the rodeo at the Reunion Grounds, but that would have involved driving to another location, so we opted to return to our apartment for the hot afternoon and evening.  After dark, we were able to watch the fireworks from the end of our apartment building that was closest to the water, as the firework show occurs over Lake Granbury.  Some photos from the parade and the fireworks can be found here.

July 1, 2006: Mark Bakes a Peach Pie

Mark claimed he wasn't a baker (but agreed he could cook).  However, he made this peach pie from scratch on Saturday, July 1, 2006, in our small apartment kitchen.  He rolled out the dough for the crust, and used a wire basket we'd bought the previous day at a Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Fort Worth to dip fresh peaches in hot water to make them easier to peel.

My big contribution to this effort was purchasing the peaches from Vogel Orchard (operated by the family of my college friend Carolyn Vogel) in Stonewall the previous weekend.  I had gone to nearby Fredericksburg to visit my parents after attending a memorial service in New Braunfels with them, for my great aunt Edith Elizabeth Wolfe Smith Murff Brown Gould Knox, who died May 31 at age 95.

Oh, and that shirt he's wearing?  I picked that out for him,  It was the only shirt with a paisley pattern I could find - I was looking for one similar to the one he wore in my favorite photo of him.

June 28, 2006: House-Hunting, Continued

At 10 in the morning on June 28, 2006, we met our real estate agent, Steve Cook, at the house in Granbury we wanted.  We were getting ready to make an offer on the house, but had a few things to check on first (hence the clipboard Mark is carrying in some of the photos below).  And of course, I needed to take pictures of the inside (to add to the photos I already took six days earlier of the outside) to share with all our friends and family in Flickr.

Above:  Mark checks out the extendable faucet on the kitchen sink.

Below:  Mark checking out something in the kitchen.  In our offer for the house, we asked that the builder change the existing Frigidaire gas range for a Jenn-Air dual fuel double oven range, model #JDR8895AAS, which required installation of 220-volt electrical service to the area in the kitchen behind the range.  The one we wanted had a gas cooktop and two electric ovens, one small towards the top, and a larger convection oven towards the bottom, with no storage drawer at the bottom as in the one pictured.

Above:  Mark checking out something in the master bathroom.  In our offer, we requested the hand towel holder on the counter, since there wasn't a good place to hang a hand towel on the wall nearby.

Below:  Our real estate agent, Steve Cook, and Mark discuss the offer we want to make for this house.  In our offer, we also requested the three bar stools pictured.

On June 30, 2006, we made an offer on this house. It was accepted the next day, July 1, 2006. Since we were already prequalified and had the paperwork in, and it only needed an appraisal, we thought we should be able to close and be in the house by the end of July.  We sure hoped so, since we gave notice at the apartment on July 1, 2006, too!

June 22, 2006: House-Hunting

That's Mark on June 22, 2006, standing on the front (above) and back (below) porches of the house we ended up buying in Granbury, Texas.

As I wrote to my friend Kay on Sunday, June 4, 2006, "House-hunting is going OK.  Found a really nice house I like a lot, but it is a bit more costly than we originally wanted to spend. It's got some advantages - walking distance to both the Square and the park on the lake, great finish work, GAS cooktop (not many areas have gas service), SEWERS (only a few developments have those; most have septic systems), but there is an HOA and some deed restrictions so we need to check those out before making an offer."

I'd seen the house for the first time that same weekend, as it was across the street from one on the Hood County Builders Association annual Showcase of New Homes.  The agent showing that one had been asked by the builder of this one to suggest visiting this one as well, even though it was not in the showcase.  

I fell in love with it.  Olde Town on the Square, five blocks from the historic courthouse square and two blocks from Lake Granbury, is a very small, originally 23-lot, infill neighborhood, in the city's "Historic Compatibility Overlay," and all the homes in the development were supposed to look like they were built in the 1910s to 1940s.

Two days after these photos were taken, Mark scheduled a meeting with the real estate agent we'd been working with the previous four weeks.  I was out of town that Saturday at a memorial service in New Braunfels for my great aunt - but there will be another post about this house within a week.

Memories for Father's Day

This isn't specifically a memory about Father's Day, but it is a memory of my dad.  The photo below is from a visit from my parents when my children and I lived in Washington state, in October 1990.  My father, Frederick Henry Pape (1929-2017), and my daughter Diane, then about 19 months old, are at the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle.

Chicago Catholic Cemetery Records

This is the third in a series of three posts about researching Lithuanians in the Chicago area, where many of them settled after immigrating to the United States. (Here is the first post, and here is the second post.)

Most Lithuanian Catholics in Chicago were buried in St. Casimir Catholic Cemetery, which was originally designated as a Lithuanian cemetery.  It opened in 1903, and burial cards from that year through about 1988 are available on FamilySearch.

You want to search the Illinois, Archdiocese of Chicago, Cemetery Records, 1864-1989 collection on FamilySearch, here:  https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/collection/1503083 

My recommendation is to start with just the surname.  This is because first names were sometimes Anglicized for St. Casimir, particularly in later years, but more often, especially in earlier years, the Lithuanian first name was used.  Plus, if you enter only the last name, you'll pull up others with the same last name (or similar spellings) that may be related.

Above is a picture of the home page for this collection.  I entered Guokas for the last name, and clicked the Search button.  Below is an image of the first part of the results.

There were 38 results in all, some of which were "sounds like" (and Soundex) spellings that were pretty far off.  But the exact matches appear first, and I was looking for Juozapas (Joseph) Guokas, my second cousin thrice removed.  When you find a person you're looking for (or are interested in), I recommend clicking on the icon that looks like a piece of paper, and clicking on that for the record details.  Below is an image of the record details for Juozapas Guokas.

Some things to pay attention to in the record pictured above:

- the top arrow on the right points to the name of the cemetery (here, it is St. Casimir, but some Lithuanian immigrants were buried in other Catholic cemeteries);

- the bottom arrow on the left points to a "Copy Citation" button, which you'll want to do to properly source and document this information in Geni and other genealogy sites; and

- the "View Original Document" button just under the image of the card.  That opens the image to provide a larger view, like in the image below.

Some things to pay attention to in the record pictured above:

- the location (grave, lot, block, and/or section numbers) for the grave;

- the home address for the deceased - which might be helpful for finding the family on a census or in a directory;

- the internment date, which may also help you locate an obituary; and

- the age and the burial permit number (which might also be recorded on a death certificate), both of which can help you make sure you have the right person, especially with more common Lithuanian surnames.

I also want to point out the arrow at the far right, which appears when you hover near it - you can click that to look at the next burial card for St. Casimir.  I strongly encourage doing that, because these are supposed to be in alphabetical order, and you may encounter another family member.  But before you do, make a note of the grave location.

Clicking the next image button brought up a burial card for Kazimieras Guokas, who is buried in the same block and lot as Juozapas, which strongly indicates a relationship.  Kazimieras (Charles) Guokas is Juozapas' son.

Clicking on the Next Image arrow on the page with Kazimieras' burial card brought up that of Petronella (Sukys) Guokas, who is his mother and the wife of Juozapas.  Note in the image below that she is also buried in the same lot and block, and that she was living in Ohio at the time of her death, at age 70 and nearly 20 years after her husband's death.  Besides being an indicator of where to look for a civil death record and an obituary, it's also a hint that another family member was probably also living in Youngstown or at least nearby in Ohio. 

Finally, don't forget to also scroll forward.  Doing so from Juozapas' burial card brought up that of Julijonas Guokas, who is the son of Juozapas and Petronella, and the brother of Kazimieras, and buried in the same lot and block.

In the image above, also note that there is more than one way to maneuver through these images.  Besides the Next Image and Previous Image (pictured, in the middle) buttons, you can also enter an image number in the box at upper left, or click on a different image in the scroll bar at the bottom.

In the case of Petronella, she is listed in this record under the male Lithuanian form of the surname Guokas.  But you'll also want to scroll backwards and forwards enough (or do a separate search) for the female Lithuanian forms of surnames.  Use https://gen.wooyd.org/lt_surnames/ to help you find those.

--------

You'll also want to use the Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic Cemeteries "Locate a Loved One" web page, at https://www.catholiccemeterieschicago.org/locate-a-loved-one/ - an image is below.  This tool is particularly helpful if you have someone buried after the end date for the burial cards (which is 1988 for St. Casimir, and anywhere from 1986 to 1988 for other cemeteries).  Sometimes there are name spelling differences between the cards and these official records, which will also show up here.

You'll need to fill out your first and last name, an e-mail address, and check at least the second box (an agreement that you won't use the information provided "for any commercial purposes or financial gain").  Then click the Request button, and check your e-mail, which will look something like the one pictured below.

You'll need to click the "Locate Your Loved Ones" button in this e-mail to access the system.  You'll get a search page like the one below.

I suggest entering just the last name, and leaving the default to search all cemeteries.  This system won't bring up alternate spellings, but you can enter as few as two letters in the last name field (and in that case, I'd suggest adding at least a first initial and/or selecting a cemetery, because I got 12,612 results when I entered just Gu for the last name).  It will bring up everything that starts with the letters you entered.

Before we get to the results, I want to point out the timer at the upper right.  When you get down somewhere around five minutes or less, a window will pop up, like the one below, offering to extend your time, and you'll get 15 more minutes if you click yes.  I'm not sure how many times this window will pop up, though.

Below are the results for my search on Guokas.  There are only seven, and they are all buried at St. Casimir.  I clicked on the view button for my relative Juozapas.

Below is the top part of the page that will next appear.  On the left is the information that was also on the burial card, but there's also a link to view the grave location on Google Maps, and another link to bring up a QR code that will also take you to the location on Google Maps.  And just to be sure, the location is also shown on a Google map on the right.

In the image above, I also marked the buttons you can click to have this information e-mailed to you (and the web page updates to indicate the email was sent), and a button to download a PDF of the information.  Below is an example of the e-mail sent.

Note that the e-mail also includes a link to view the location on Google Maps.  Below is an image of what the PDF looked like (click on it to view it larger).  You get a section map on the left, a cemetery map on the upper right, the burial record information, and a QR code to view the location on Google Maps.

Note in the image above that I highlighted something that differs from the information on the burial card.  This record indicates Juozapas is buried in Section (not Block) 9.  

Going back to the record page for Juozapas, if you scroll down the page, you can also access the cemetery map, and download a PDF (which, for this cemetery, is high quality).

Scroll even further down the page, and you'll also find a section map you can download.  Unfortunately, for Section 9 at least, this image is a poor quality PNG image and not especially readable.  Perhaps they will be updated someday.

And here is a link to the FindAGrave memorial for Juozapas Guokas, which includes an image of the tombstone, which he shares with his wife and the two sons who predeceased him.  The engraving is in Lithuanian:  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/188095962/joseph-guokas
