Biography |
Abt 1988 |
| Biographical Recollection by Mary Conard |
- UNCLE FRANK Just 21, when his Father died, he seemed to be "the man of the family" (fr om stories Mom has told) until which time Uncle Paul was older ... he rema ined unmarried all his life, and seemed to look after Grandma's business i nterests, during my growing up years.I'm told it was Uncle Frank who planned and built the addition to Grandma 's house.If you look at the photo of the house, the part to the left of the screen ed in porch seems to be an original, two rooms with a loft. Uncle Frank a dded the piece that "T's" the original. At first the porch was not enclos ed with screen. From what I can gather, he and Aunt Rosey lived at Grandm a's after their marriage, because Theresia had this to say about how you m ake money.
It seems Uncle Jake trapped skunks for their pelts, and as a result, he wa sn't so great smelling all the time, and Aunt Rosey complained about "stin k". All this Uncle Jake took without a word. (You know when you stink .) I would imagine that if he was home, he was needed to help with the wor k, and any money that was "made on the farm" had to stay with the farm, a nd skunk trapping was a way to make some pocket money for Jake. At any rat e, when the mailman brought the check for the pelts, Uncle Jake waved it u nder Aunt Rosey's nose and asked, "Now does this stink?" Mom always sai d, "Never criticize how much a job "smells" for which you earn your dai ly bread. The people that you have to worry about are the "stinkers" w ho become rich on the backs of others."
I guess I would describe Uncle Frank as being rather aloof. Gad! How he a nd Dad could argue. . over nothings, as far as I could see, but then we di dn't stick around much where the "old folks" were. Aunt Rosey was swee t. She always looked nice and she was a "town lady", as we kids called i t. She didn't have a chicken house in the back yard, her front yard had f lowers, trees and a lawn. I don't know just when they moved to Ellis, a nd think that Uncle Frank worked as a carpenter and finisher.
He and Aunt Rosey are Baptism Godparents to Freddie, Rose and I, as Nick a nd Theresiaare to Bill, Theresa and Richard, three of their five children. The oth er two are Louis and Frederick.
He must have been a thoughtful person. When we were small children, he bu ilt Rose and I each a doll bed. I still have mine that I converted in to a magazine rack.
We girls didn't hang around uncles much, and we didn't see Uncle Frank a nd Aunt Rosey much after we passed our early teens. I can't say, as I rea lly know much about him.
Up until 1988, they are the only Schuster couple that I know of for sure t hat celebrateda Golden Anniversary. I am speaking in-terms of Mom's family here, a nd in the year of 1988 there is only one couple left that still may g et to the "Golden" Uncle Englebert and Aunt Iva. They may have already, b ut no mention was made of it to me.
