Moritz was born in Wittstock, Brandenburg, Germany, in 1835, and immigrated to the USA in 1852. He lived in St..Louis, Omaha, and Colorado before serving in the Texas 4th Cavalry in the Civil War. He spent the rest of his life in Texas. He had an older sibling, Louis (born 1827) who also came to the USA. I found him in Illinois prior to the Civil War, but he also ended up in Texas. He had two daughters that survived into adulthood, but no sons. Of course, they could have had another sibling that was perhaps your ancestor.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902380558583190500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459115842890402911.post-70475795700271771492022-10-22T18:48:53.791-05:002022-10-22T18:48:53.791-05:00I have a glass plate with the photos of M.

I’m not sure if these Lichtenstein’s were distant relatives of my daddy Ernest J. Lichtenstein Jr born & raised in Gary, Indiana where his daddy had a meat packing place that was handed down from my daddy’s great grandfather.

My mother soldered on for several years trying her best to provide for four of us children. In 1947, her sister, Evelyn & her husband Herbert McDonald who had spent their youth "wildcating" for oil in Oklahoma Texas in the 30's and 40's said they could help provide for us. They purchased a house in Corpus Christie and asked my sister and I to "come down for the summer." We stayed for five years. It was wonderful !! We had good schools, learned that our Mexican neighbors were wonderful loving people, and spent our summers on the beaches of Padre Island. Life was great !! My Uncle Mac, worked for the Humble Oil Co. and my Aunt Evelyn worked for M. Lichtenstein & Sons. It was a great company, directed by a great family, and she loved working there.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645449833678537494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459115842890402911.post-87418599377995794912019-02-05T23:49:37.422-06:002019-02-05T23:49:37.422-06:00No, I don't know anything about a button with ...No, I don't know anything about a button with a diamond, but I will look into that!

It was thrilling because the store was beautiful and it was air conditioned. I didn’t have air conditioning in my home until 1975. I don’t know what I would do without it today.
