The earliest known member of the Lucash family is Johann Georg Lucash, 1753--. His name in Czech is spelled Lukáše, Lukáška or Luksch and there are nine known generations of his descendents. The recent investigation of records states that his name is spelled, Jan Jiři Lukš. Our maternal line of Tauber goes back to c. 1733 and the maternal line of Bleyer goes back to 1722.
0. Johann Georg Lucash [or Jan Jiři Lukš], 1753--, is
from the village of Manětín,
Westboehmen. The Manětín chateau was
built
after a town fire in
1712. The building was designed by T. Hafenecker. There is
a roofed
passageway leading to the Baroque Church of St. John the Baptist. The
passageway dates from 1712 - 1719. A collection of paintings
by V.
Dvorak depicting palace servants can be seen there. There are also
numerous Baroque sculptures by S. Borovec and J. Herscher on the
terrace in front of the chateau. Baroque statues border the
entrance
way to the chateau. Originally,
Manětín was a Johannite
knights´monastery. From 1622 to 1945, the monastery
was property of the
Lazansky family of Bukova. The members of the family had the
Baroque
palace built in the town
The Baroque Church of St.
John
the Baptist can be admired in Manětín. Baroque burgher houses
can be
seen on the northern side of the square. It
is near the city of Pilsen which is the fourth largest city in the
Czech Republic. It
is located in western Bohemia. Today, it is an
important industrial,
commercial, cultural, and administrative center. Pilsen was
founded on the confluence of four rivers - Uhlava,
Uslava, Radbuza and Mze - by the Czech king Wenceslas II in 1295.
Situated on the crossroads of two important trade routes and
close to
Prague, Pilsen experienced an immediate rapid growth. Ten kilometers north-east of Manětín is the smallest town in
Europe
called
Rabstejn nad Strelou situated on a hill above the river Strela and
surrounded
by deep picturesque valleys. It is a beautiful medieval town with
Gothic ruins
and half-timbered houses. It was founded in the 1200s and today
has a population of 27. O. Johann Georg Lucash
[or Jan Jiři Lukš ] was born in 1753 and was 32 years old when he
married Anna Zottin [Zott] on 2-2-1785 in Nectiny, house No.
6. Lucash's occupation was listed as a grain stewart in
Rabstejn. He
married Anna Zottin,
7-4-1760--, who was born in Nectiny, district of Plzere, Bohemia.
The witnesses were, Joseph Anton Graf, a manager and Johann Mattusch, a
farmer in Rabstejn. Anna Zottin father's name was Florianus or Florian Zott and her mother's name was
Maria Magdalena Bleyer, 1-16-1722--, who was born in Nectiny, district of Plzere, Bohemia. Maria
Magdalena Bleyer, 1-16-1722--, was born in Nectiny, district of Plzere, Bohemia. Her father was Stephan
Pleyer or Bleyer and her mother's name was Barbara, surname unknown.
The Godparents at Magdalena
Bleyer's baptisim were Maria Magdalena
Randan from Lohmill, Elisabeth Lippert, Anna Kufner and Franz
Ohrl. Florianus or Florian Zott was Maria Magdalena's father
and he was born about 1737 or sooner. Florian Zott and
Maria Magdalena Bleyer were married on 7-19-1757 in Nectiny.
Florian was a shoemaker. Magdalena was the daughter of Stephan
Bleyer, --<1757, who was from Nectiny and was a tailor. The whitnesses at the wedding were
Franciscus Schubert and Franciscus Folger, both from Nectiny. Special church
permission was issued for the marriage on the 3rd and the 4th
grade. This indicates that they were cousins. Florian Zott and
Maria Magdalena Bleyer had the following three children. 1.
Victorinus Josephus Zott, 1-2-1758--, the first
of three children of Florian Zott and
Maria Magdalena Bleyer born in Nectiny.
2. Maria Anna Juliana
Zottin [Zott], 7-4-1760--, the second
of three children of Florian Zott and
Maria Magdalena Bleyer [on the birth certificate
Anna's full name is Maria
Anna Juliana
Zottin [Zott], 7-4-1760--,] born in Nectiny. Anna's
Godparents at her baptism were Simon Laidatsch, Juliana Kuhnerin and
Antonius Gössl, all from
Nectiny. 3. Josephus Laurentius Zott, 9-9-1763--, the third child of three children of Florian Zott and
Maria Magdalena Bleyer born in
Nectiny. In 1847, 0.
Johann Georg Lucash [or Jan Jiři Lukš ] and
Anna Zottin
[Zott]'s son 1.
Joseph Ignatz Lucash, 1793--1868, was living at 306 or 106
Bartolomeigasse in
Prague in the parish of St. Jilji. The parish records list a Joseph Lucash living at 106. Prague
records say it was 306. Very little additional information is known at
this time about either Johann Georg Lucash or his wife Anna Zottin.
They had at
least the following two children. 1. Joseph Ignatz Lucash, 1793--1868, the
first of two children of Johann Georg Lucash and Anna Zottin born
at house # 130
in the village of Manětín
which is
about 20 miles from
Prague. Illinois' records show his middle
initial as L. 2. Maria or Mary Wottowa, nee Lucash, 5-16-1828--5-18-1911,
the second of two children
of
Johann Georg Lucash and Anna Zottin born in
Prague. Mary married John W. Wottowa. Joseph Lucash's family and Mary Wottowa, nee Lucash's family came
to America
on the same ship. 1. Joseph Ignatz Lucash, 1793--1868, was born on June 17,
1793
at house # 130 in the village of Manetin which is about 20 miles from
Prague.
The
cemetery records at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Freeburg, IL state
that
Joseph was born on May 15, 1804 and died on September 1, 1868, in
Freeburg,
IL. All known documents state that he was from Prague,
Bohemia, Hapsburg-Austrian Empire. Bohemia was part of the
Hapsburg-Austrian Empire until the end of The Great War, which was the
death of all the old great Empires, long after Joseph Ignatz Lucash had
emigrated. The name of Joseph's first wife is unknown. They would have married
around 1833. Joseph married his second wife, Josepha Kraus on 11-1-1847
in Prague, Bohemia, Hapsberg-Austrian Empire. Joseph Ignatz Lucash's second wife, Josepha Cross (Kraus / Kreuz),
1814--1904, was born on 2-14-1814, at house # 16 in the village of
Zadub [Saduba],
Bohemia. Josepha died in Freeburg on November 11, 1904. The Freeburg
Cemetery records state that Josepha [Elizabeth] was born on 11-19-1820
and
died on 11-28-1904. Most Illinois' records state her first name as
Elizabeth.
The marriage record of 1. Joseph Ignatz Lucash, 1793--1868,
list Josepha Kraus, 1814--, as his wife. The father of Josepha Kraus,
1814--, was Kasper Kraus, c. 1784--, from Zadub
[in German Sadub], district of Plzeri, occupation listed as a
grain stewart. Her mother was Margaretha Tauber, from Olesna [in old
Czech, Elsch], district of Klatovy. Margaretha Tauber's father was John Tauber, c. 1754--, born in
house
# 16 in the village of Olesna [in old Czech, Elsch], Bohemia and her
mother was Barbara, last name unknown. John Tauber's occupation is
listed as
a peasant cottager. John Tauber is the earliest known maternal ancestor
in the Lucash line. An interesting connection here is that the word Kraus in German
means
curly. The German word Kreuz means Cross. Joseph Lucash's wife's maiden
name
in the Belleville, IL St. Peter's church record is listed as Cross.
That
may have been a bad translation in German from Kraus to Kreuz to Cross
in
English. The translation twist of Kraus to Kreuz to Cross, may well
mean
that this is the path that has taken so long to find. More research
needs
to be done. They were married in November 1, 1847 at the parish church of St.
Jilji in Prague. The witnesses were Wilhelm Preisl, wagon manufacturer
and Franz Mannetz. The marriage bands were published on October 17, 24
and 31 in
1847. Married: Wilhelm Kabesch (may have been the priest's name). Bohemia is a saucer shaped plateau ringed by hills and mountains.
Most Bohemians belong to a Slavic group called Czechs. The first known
inhabitants of Bohemia were the Boli, a Celtic tribe that lived in the
region during 300 B.C. The name Bohemia comes from the word Boli. The
Czech word for Bohemia, is Cechy, it refers to the Czechs, who had
settled in the region by about 500 A.D. Czechoslovakia is spelled
Cesko-slovensko in Czech. The Kingdom of Bohemia became part of the Roman Catholic
Austro-Hungarian Empire with the defeat of the Protestant Hussites at
the Battle of White Mountain in 1620, and remained part of the Empire
until 1918, when it became part of the western part of Czechoslovakia.
Because of this political changing of the boundaries, Bohemians
inherited a dual linguistic heritage: Czech which was their native
tongue and German which was the language of the Hapsburg-Austrian
Empire. The Dynasties in Czechoslovakia were the Great Moravian House of
Mojmir until 906, the Czech House of Premysl until 1306, Luxembourg
until 1437, Jagiello until 1526, and the Hapsburg-Austrian Empire until
1918. The Lucash family left Bohemia under the Hapsburg-Austrian
rule of Franz
Joseph II, the Austrian emperor and King of Bohemia. After the 30 Years War ended in 1648, records of all the Protestant
Nobility were
erased. Children often assumed the name of a grandparent or relative
who was Catholic. Old families often changed their surnames if they
stayed in Czechoslovakia. From the years 1850 to 1860 regional passports were given out by the
regional government. These records are stored in Prague. Prior to 1850
the passports were given in Vienna, but these records may be in Prague
today. After the year 1620, the nobility saw to it that people did not move
around. It was a time when people and families stayed put. Prior to
1620 there
was quite a bit of movement in the population. After 1670, a total of
66
% of the population stayed put. Between the years of 1592 and 1620 only
7 % of families remained in one town. In 1908, Bohemia became a province of the new independent republic
of
Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovakian government abolished the province
of
Bohemia in 1949. Since then Bohemia has been a geographic region,
rather
than a political unit. In 1848, after centuries of rule the Bohemians
revolted
against the Austrian's and lost. That unsuccessful revolt was most
likely
one of the principal cause of the mass emigration of 1848. All of this
changed
again in 1992. Many Bohemian patriots, sought to evade the consequences of their
patriotic zeal, as the courts showed little mercy to those accused of
political crimes. The revolution of 1848, or its aftermath may have
been the reason Joseph Ignatz Lucash, his second wife, Josepha
[Elizabeth] Cross [Kraus] and family left the Hapsburg-Austrian Empire
for America. The name of Joseph Lucash's first wife is unknown. Most likely, she
would have been born before 1813, married c.1833, and died between 1843
and 1847. Joseph had three children by that first marriage, Hanna,
Barbara and John Lucash. The remaining Lucash children would have been
from Joseph's second marriage to Josepha [Elizabeth] Cross (Kraus /
Kreuz). Joseph Ignatz Lucash and his second wife, Josepha [Elizabeth] Cross
(Kraus / Kreuz), were most likely married in the St. Jilji Catholic
Parish in
Prague November 1, 1847. Joseph Ignatz
Lucash was around 51 years old when he married for the second time.
Josepha [Elizabeth] would have been about 33 years old and it might
have
been her second marriage. Joseph Lucash had two wives. The name of the first wife who was the
mother of three of the children is unknown. His second wife was Josepha
[Elizabeth] Cross (Kraus / Kreuz), 1814--1904 born in Prague, Bohemia,
Hapsburg-Austrian Empire. Both Joseph, his wife, Josepha [Elizabeth]
and the children listed below immigrated to America. They landed in New
Orleans, LA in 1852 and
came up the Mississippi River by river boat to settle in Freeburg, IL.
The
name Lucash means archer in Czech. According to verbal family history,
Joseph Lucash was a horse trader in Illinois not a farmer. The Lucash family immigrated to the United States in 1854. Joseph
Ignatz Lucash was 61 years old at the time. The family left the German
seaport
of Bremen on December 10, 1853, on the ship Sir Robert Peel.
They
had a second class cabin on deck and took two trunks of clothing on the
trip. The trip took 47 days to cross the ocean to New Orleans from
Bremen,
Germany. The ship Sir Robert Peel was operating
under
the colors of R. M. Slomann Co. of Hamburg, Germany. The Captain of the
Sir Robert Peel was Mineholt in February 1857. It carried 650
tons
with a 17' draft. It was built in Lubec in 1852 with 2 decks. It could
hold
almost 300 passengers for the trip. Bremen is 60 miles from the North Sea. It had to be extremely cold
in
the North Atlantic when the Lucash family sailed in December of 1853.
The
Lucash family landed in New Orleans, La. on Jan. 26, 1854. They listed
St.
Louis as their final destination. They spent the Christmas holidays on
board
the ship crossing the ocean. The ship, Sir
Robert Peel was 158 ft. long, and 36 ft. wide. It was built in
New York in 1846. The Captain was J. C. Wienholtz. The ship carried 295
passengers on that voyage. The ship was a little longer than half the
size of a football field. The Lucash family came up the Mississippi River by steam boat. They
settled in the town of Freeburg, in St. Clair Co., Illinois, in the
Spring or Summer of 1854. Freeburg is at 38.29.28 North and 89.56.13
West. One of the family farms was in Turkey Hill, IL. The other family
farm was at 415 Old Fayetteville Rd. in Freeburg, IL. Silver Creek runs
right through the Lucash farm. The ship's manifest spelled the Lucash name, Lukasch. The first
Bohemians arriving in St. Louis settled in what was then called
Frenchtown. This
section of St. Louis was later referred to as Bohemian Hill and today
is
called Soulard. The boundaries of this area on the near south side of
the
city are Lafayette Ave., 7th Street, Russell Blvd., and 18th Street. At
the time, this part of St. Louis was known as "Bohemian Hill"
and
was a very active settlement with a highly regarded library. It was not until the revolution of 1848, when the anticlerical and
freethinkers revolted in Bohemia, that any significant number of
Bohemians emigrated. They arrived in St. Louis traveling up the
Mississippi River from the port of New Orleans. The Bohemian
immigration occurred in two waves: 1848-1870 and 1870-1920. The first
wave tended to settle in St. Louis and the surrounding area. The second
wave used St. Louis as a jumping off place to Chicago
and other parts of the Midwest. There existed two sets of parallel Bohemian institutions in St.
Louis
as well as the rest of the United States: Roman Catholic and Protestant
(Hussite). The two groups did not associate or intermingle. The Lucash family was part of the first wave and settled in
Freeburg,
Illinois. When the Lucash family arrived in America, Millard Filmore
was
the 13th President. Children were now required to go to school in
Massachusetts
by law. Bloomer girls were starting the fight for woman's suffrage, and
in
1852, the first successful airship was flown by Henri Giffard. Joseph
Ignatz
Lucash had never seen the ocean before he crossed it. Now he was
hearing
about airships. He probably wondered what he was in for next. At 67 years of age, Joseph Ignatz Lucash died in Freeburg, Illinois
on September 1, 1868. Thirty six years later, at 84, his second wife,
Josepha [Elizabeth] Lucash, nee Cross (Kraus / Kreuz) passed away on
November 28, 1904. Both are buried in St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery in
Freeburg, Illinois. The 1860 Federal Census for Illinois states that the Lucash land was
worth $1100, the house $400. The neighbors on both sides were also from
Bohemia. 1. Joseph Ignatz Lucash had at least nine children. Three of
the nine were by his first wife, name unknown. Six were by his second
wife,
Josepha [Elizabeth] Cross (Kraus / Kreuz). Five of the nine were born
in
Bohemia and emigrated to America. The remaining four were born in
Illinois.
The four born in Illinois were the first American born generation of
the
Lucash family. According to verbal family history, Joseph paid Josepha [Elizabeth]
a dowry
for three children when they were married. The three children from
Joseph's
first marriage would have been 1.1. Hanna, 1.2. Barbara
and
1.3. John. 1. Joseph Ignatz Lucash's, 1793--1868, nine children are, 1.1. Hanna Lucash, 1834--<1900, was Joseph Ignatz Lucash's
first of nine children and oldest child, first of three by his first
wife, name unknown. 1.2. Barbara Fries, nee Lucash,
11-29-1840--6-4-1924, was the second of nine children of Joseph Ignatz
Lucash and the second of three by his
first wife, name unknown. Barbara Fries, nee Lucash was born in Prague, Bohemia,
Hapsburg-Austrian Empire, on Sunday, November 29, 1840. On January 16, 1868, at St. Peter's Cathedral in Belleville,
Illinois, Konradus had served in the Union Army during the Civil War. He was
in
Co. "B", 149th Illinois Infantry. Photo on left is not 100 %
confirmed
to be Konrad Like Konradus, Barbara's brother, John Lucash, was in the Civil War.
Perhaps at Barbara's wedding they talked about their experiences in the
Union Army. Konradus Fries was born in Kützbrunn,
Baden,
Germany on August 25, 1834. He left Kützbrunn on April 6, 1848,
for America with his parents, Georgius Michael Fries and Cristina
Deppisch,
and four sisters. He was 14 years old at the time. They settled in St.
Clair
Co., Illinois, in the town of Belleville. Konradus' paternal
grandparents
came from the small German village of Struth, in Bavaria. Struth is
only
five miles from Kützbrunn, Baden. Barbara, the second oldest of the Lucash children, was 13 when the
Lucash family emigrated to America. Barbara, her three brothers Paul,
John, and Joseph, her older sister, Hanna, and her parents came over
from Bremen,
Germany and arrived at New Orleans, La. They then came up the
Mississippi
River by steamboat to Freeburg, Illinois. Barbara, and her sister
Hanna,
most likely, had the job of minding her three younger brothers during
the
trip to their new home in Illinois. Coming up the Mississippi River on a steam boat in the summer of
1854, must have been quite a thrill. Seeing all the big plantations
along the
river would be quite a contrast to the streets of Prague. Barbara was twenty years old when the Civil War started in 1860. She
and her family had been here in America for six years. Illinois was a
free
state and for the most part was on the side of the Union. Barbara may
have
seen similarities between the American Civil War and the many wars
among
the German and Hapsburg-Austrian Empires. In 1898, when Barbara was 58,
the Spanish American War began. Barbara, her children, and her grandchildren most likely, went to
the
World's Fair in St. Louis, in 1904. Perhaps they had one of the first
ice
cream cones or hot dogs ever sold. In 1898, Barbara lived at 315 S. Richmond St. in Belleville. Later
she lived at 317 S. Second St. in Belleville, Illinois. That is now the
grounds of St. Peter's Cathedral. A small chapel stands on the spot
where Barbara lived. At the start of WW I in 1914, Barbara was seventy four. Sixty one
years earlier she left her homeland, the Hapsburg-Austrian Empire. She
could
still speak German, as could her son Adolph and his wife, Anne Blaies.
Barbara Fries, nee Lucash had spent the first 13 years of her life in
Prague,
Bohemia, Hapsburg-Austrian Empire. Now, her adopted country was going
to
war with Germany and the Hapsburg-Austrian Empire. At 84, Barbara died in Belleville on June 4th, 1924. She is buried
at
Green Mount Cemetery, south east of Belleville. She used to bake
cookies
for her grandchildren after school. Barbara was living at her house on
South
Second St., when she died. A small chapel on the grounds of St. Peter's
Cathedral is now located where the house stood. Barbara Fries, nee
Lucash, 1840--1924, and her husband, Konradus Fries, 1834--1897, had
seven children. 1.2.1. Mary Kling, nee Fries, 10-1-1868--6-15-1906, the
first of seven children of Konradus Fries, 1834--1897, and Barbara
Lucash. Mary was
the
first child born in America in the Fries family. The 1891 photo at left is of Mary Fries and Michael Kling. They lived at 315 S. Richmond Street. Michael Kling,
9-29-1866--4-20-1932, was a carpenter for most of his life. Michael and
his family lived at 100 S. 34th St. in Belleville in 1931. Michael Kling died at the home of his daughter in Freeburg,
Illinois.
His daughter's name was Estella Lucash, the wife of Joseph B. Lucash.
Michael Kling and his wife Mary Fries, are buried in Green Mount
Cemetery. Michael had a younger sister by the name of Julie Mary Goss,
nee Kling. Mary Kling, nee Fries, was the baptismal sponsor for several Lucash
children at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Freeburg, Illinois. Mary
Fries and Michael Kling had seven children, they are, 1.2.1.1. Arthur Franz Kling, 7-8-1892--1-5-1917, the first
of seven children of Mary Fries and Michael Kling and died at a
hospital in Mount
Vernon, IL. Prior to his death, he was employed in Mt Vernon at the
steel car plant. Wedding photo of Estella Kling and Joseph B. Lucash at left. In 1912, Estella and Anna Hummel climbed the scaffolding to the top
of St Peter's Cathedral, which was under construction at the time.
Estella and Joseph lived in Freeburg, Illinois for most of their
married life and are buried in St. Joseph's cemetery in Freeburg. Estella was the godmother for 1.2.6.1. Florence McTiernan,
nee Fries, 1911--2000. Estella Kling and Joseph Lucash have the
following four children. 1.2.1.2.1. Aloys J. Lucash, 6-21-1918--10-14-1985, the first of four children of Estella Kling and Joseph
Lucash (see 1.5.3.1.)
1.2.1.2.2. Virginia E. Lucash, 7-8-1920--, the second of four children of
Estella Kling and Joseph Lucash born in

president at the time. I lived in several locations in the St. Louis area: 5504 Hebert St.,
7574 Warner St., Richmond Heights, 40 Plaza Sq. (201), and Balwin, Mo. My first school was in 1947 at the Catholic Woman's League, today
called a day center. From there I went right up the street to St.
Liborius in
September 1948 from Kindergarten through 4th grade. Every Monday
morning
I had to bring in $2.00 in an envelope to give to the homeroom nun for
that
week's tuition. I made my first Communion on 5-21-1950 and Confirmation
on 9-27-1951 at St. Liborius. In September 1953 for the 5th grade I
transferred
back to St. Edward the King near by to where we lived on Hebert St. In
January
1956, we moved from 5504 Hebert St. to 7574 Warner Ave. in Richmond
Heights
and I entered the 6th grade at Our Lady of the Little Flower School at
mid
year and graduated from grade school in June of 1957 at that school. The old churches of St. Louis are beautiful. The Catholic Churches
in
north St. Louis all seem to be made of the white porous rock that seems
indigenous to St. Louis. St. Edward's and the Rock Church are good
examples of this. The churches in south and center St. Louis seem to be
made mostly of brick. St. Liborius is a good example of this. St. Liborius was a very traditional Catholic grade school. When I
attended St. Laborious they had the classic German pastor named Father
Ritter. He was a very big old German priest that was later made a
Monsignor. There
are two things that I remember about Father Ritter. I and a few of my
3rd
grade classmates once went into the church after school on a Friday
during
Lent to say the rosary, all on the up and up. Father Ritter came out
and
saw us and must have thought that we were causing trouble. He
immediately
took after us yelling that we were sinning to beat the band by fooling
around
in church. We all took off down the isle trying to put as much space
between
us and Father Ritter as possible. The second remembrance is a story that is told about Father Ritter.
At Easter the church gave out holy water to the people in the parish.
Every Easter they always spilled some and Father Ritter had to clean it
up before the next service. One year he was going to out smart the
careless people
that used to come to church for holy water on Easter. He put the holy
water
outside between the convent and the church for the people to take.
Easter
was early that year and during the night the holy water froze. Early
the
next morning Father Ritter is outside using the holy water sprinkler as
an
ice pick trying to break the ice so the people could take some frozen
holy
water home. St. Laborious at 1835 North 18th St. was established in 1855 as the
6th German parish in the St. Louis area to serve the ever increasing
German
population. The neighborhood was known as "Little Paderborn" as the
church
was named for the patron saint of a section of Westphilia in Germany.
The
church was built in 1889, the rectory in 1890 and the convent in 1905.
The
St. Laborious school was run by the stern Notre Dame Nuns famous in
those
days for their strong rulers. I attended Christian Brothers College for the first year of high
school and graduated 3 years later from St. Francis de Sales in south
St. Louis. St. Francis de Sales is the largest church in south St.
Louis made of brick with one of the tallest steeples in St. Louis. The
parish was organized
in 1867. The original church was destroyed in the tornado of 1896. The
present church was built in 1906. It was modeled after St. Paul's
Church in Berlin. It has the tallest steeple (300 ft.) in St. Louis and
is sometimes called the "Cathedral of the South Side". This beautiful
church has an unbelievable steeple with at least two men losing their
lives during the construction. After high school I attended Missouri University in Columbia, Mo.
for
my freshman year, and graduated from Quincy University in Quincy, IL.
with
a BA in History in January 1966. In between these years I attended St.
Louis U. and Washington U. for summer school. I attended the University
of San Francisco in an extension course in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
in the
summer of 1963. After Quincy, I went into the Marines in 1966 for two years. I was
stationed in Virginia and in Rota, Spain for the two year tour of duty.
After discharge from the Marines I worked for IBM in Philadelphia, Pa.
The IBM job lasted for two years. Digital Equipment Corp. was the next
job for 13 years in
St. Louis, Philadelphia, NYC, San Jose, Ca. and Boston. From Digital I
went
to Sun Microsystems, Inc. in 1983, in their Boston office for a year.
In
1984, I opened Sun's Penn. office in Wayne, Pa. During that time I have lived in Wayne, Pa., Brooklyn Heights, NY,
St. Louis, Mo., Woodside, Ca., Harvard, MA outside of Boston, and then
back
to Wayne, Pa. outside of Philadelphia (N40.03'04", W75.24'34"). I married Diane Marie Rider on
Sunday, 3-11-1979, at St. Ursula's Catholic Church in Baltimore,
Maryland. Diane
Rider, 1-28-1948--, was born in Baltimore, Md. Diane's parents are
James
L. Rider 1924--1989, and Lois Koenig, 1927--, both born in Baltimore,
Maryland.
Both are descendants of German and Irish immigrants. Two days after Diane was born Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated. Bread
was 14 cents a loaf and gas was 16 cents a gallon. Harry S. Truman was
president and there wasn't a vice president due to the death of
Roosevelt. Diane and I live outside of Philadelphia in Strafford-Wayne, Pa.

wedding anniversary on 10-27-1935. Elisabeth's maiden name i
sunknown. Charles was hit by a car in 1936 but
survived this accident. Charles was in the lumber and saw mill
business. His farm on the old Fayetteville Road, east of Freeburg was
sold to the Red Ray Mining Company. Charles was indirectly involved in the famous story of the Freeburg
Mystic Knights of the Bush. This was a monument that was erected in the
center
of Freeburg. It was a surveyors bunch of pipe that formed a triangle.
The
sign for the Mystic Knights of the Bush hung from the tripod.
Apparently
a man and woman played a con game on the good citizens of Freeburg
during
the early 1930's. They came to town in the middle of the depression,
promising pay for work. They said they represented the US Government
and were trying to survey the local area. They employed many of the local Freeburg men who were out of work.
The con was that the men worked and were paid later. During one on the
surveying trips they had to clear a route so that the con man could see
a straight line. They cleared a path through Charlie Lucash's corn
field with a promise that he would be paid for the corn that they had
to pick. They shucked the corn and put it in nice shocks for Charlie
and promised that he would get paid later. The con man and his wife left in the middle of the night right
before
pay day. None of the laborers were paid and most likely Charlie never
got
paid for his corn. The whole scam was taken by all as a humorous event
during
the bad days of the depression. His wife, Elizabeth died in Savannah, GA where she had lived for
several years before her death. Both Charles and Elizabeth are buried
in St. Joseph's. They had three children, 1.5.4.1. Verdel V. Lucash, 7-8-1911--6-13-1973, the first of
