| Note | Seraphin, the main subject of Aunt Nellie's letters, was a wine merchant in the Paris working-class suburb of Montrouge, but was ruined by the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 wherein France lost Alsace and Lorraine to Germany. After years of beseeching, he was brought to America by his three previously-migrated brothers aboard the "City of Liverpool" which sailed from Bristol on November 9, 1872. He left behind his wife, son Georges, and daughter Pauline who was already married to a man named Jacquel (Father Seemann says Jacquet is the correct spelling) and had a three-year-old child. Georges followed, and was working a farm in Quincy, Adams County, Iowa in 1881, with his wife Lizzie. At that time, Seraphin had returned to France, but was planning to come back to the States almost immediately. One gets the impression that he was something of a ne'er-do-well who never managed to repay his passage, so that there was bad blood between him and his brothers. I think he was run over and killed by a streetcar in St. Louis. There are no Jacquels in Paris phonebooks, and Quincy has disappeared off Iowa maps, but the phone book of Clinton, the county seat of Adams County, shows no Schnébelins there today. Pauline has by far the most impressive writing style in the letters, and comes through as an intense, dramatic sort of person who must have had some education. It was she Aunt Nellie tried to contact by mail, but never succeeded. When we went to their old address in Montrouge in 1948, an old woman told us the house had always been inhabited by Alsatians. |
| Note | The ship S.S. City of Bristol was originally named Etna and belonged to the Cunard Line as a Crimean War transport vessel. It was sold to the Inman Line and in 1871 was rebuilt and renamed "City of Bristol."
length: 349.4ft, tonnage: 2,655 gross, compounded engines
It was renamed Messico, Sempione, and Adria before being scrapped in Italy in 1896. |
