Plank bridges lacked railings to prevent horse-drawn vehicles from falling over the sides. She was a middle child in the family, with Lazarus 14 years older than she, Isaac, 7 years older, and Carolina, 3 years older. Then there were her nine full siblings, of which she was the oldest, who ranged from Rifka, 2 years younger than she, to Joseph, 15 years younger than she. The rise of German nationalism in the 19th century was tainted with anti-Semitism. In 1819 one anti-Semitic persecution that broke out was called the “Hep!

Have a question about O'Neill-Hayes Funeral Home?
By reason of her expressions in favor of the Union cause she had to leave Madison Parish, Louisiana, and remove to what was known as Island No. 102. Lizzie Reed also lived on Henrietta’s place on Island 102 during the war, to keep from getting killed by the guerillas. In the 1840s and 1850s enterprising private operators began ferry service across the Mississippi to Vicksburg. There were also roads in the Parish, dirt roads that were dusty in dry seasons and muddy axle-deep in wet seasons.
By the time that his son Simon married Bessla in 1821, Marx Geissberger was 71 years old and a widower. Founded in 1889, the O'Neill-Hayes Funeral Home has been family owned and operated for five generations. We are one of the oldest funeral homes in Rhode Island, and the oldest funeral home on the entire Aquidneck Island. Over the past 121 years, we have become a benchmark in Newport and in the surrounding communities for compassion and service in the funeral industry. This is the cost to purchase a burial vault from the funeral home. A burial vault is required for most cemeteries, but you may choose to purchase one online or elsewhere, if you'd wish.

Nevertheless, the railroad was good for the Parish, and Leopold and Henrietta may have attended the celebration in September 1857. When the settlement of Walnut Hills was incorporated in 1825 as the city named Vicksburg, there were twenty Jewish families living in the town. Three Jewish brothers surnamed Sartorius moved to the area in 1835, 1840 and 1845, and brought two Torah scrolls.
In the years before the Civil War, the western movement was in progress, aided by steamboats on the Mississippi River. From its beginning in 1811, steamboat traffic on the Mississippi River steadily increased. Gertrude Philippsborn, a local historian of the Vicksburg, Mississippi, area concluded that people moved to Millikin’s Bend because it was the big harbor for Vicksburg and money was made there.

Government documents agree that Mrs. Bauer’s husband died before the war, but seem to know only the name Bauer, not Smith. In 1840, the white population of the parish was 1,210 and the black population was 3,923; by 1860, the whites in Madison Parish numbered 1,293 and the blacks, 9,863. Marx Geissberger, Henrietta’s elderly widowed grandfather, died in Bibergau at age 84 on Jan 30, 1835, when Henrietta was only 5 years old. Low Rau possibly died before 1818, as a grandson was named for him in 1818.
Those he would visit told Turner Johnson that Henrietta was a good woman for them to be with, that she treated them right and was on the Republican side, that she was on their side. On Island 102, Henrietta lived on her own place, bought before her husband died. Incidentally, household #46 in the village of Milliken’s Bend was that of Dr. Henry Wirz, a physician born in Switzerland. The Vicksburg, Shreveport and Texas Railroad Company was created in March 1852, by the Louisiana legislature. This line was to extend from the Mississippi River on the Louisiana shore opposite Vicksburg westward to the Texas border. Loew and Jannet had sons named Moses and Jacob and daughters named Bessla, Kehla and Feila.

Household #37 is the Isaac Geisenberg family, including Isaac, his wife, two sons and two daughters. One of the old towns in Bavaria was Gunzenhausen, a town established in 1349. In the late 1700s, one family living in Gunzenhausen was the Jewish family of Loew Rau and his wife Jannet. Loew Rau was a Levite, so he is named in some records as Loew Levi.
However, it was in the same year as these riots, in March 1819, that Solomon died. In January 1816 Bessla and Solomon became the parents of a son, whom they named Lazarus. According to the common Jewish naming practice, their son Lazarus was named for Solomon’s deceased father.
In 1880 most of the inhabitants of Milliken’s Bend relocated to a new site one mile west of the old town, due to encroachment by the river. The original site of Milliken’s Bend has ceased to exist since the last family left in 1916. The Joe Witherow family left the “old” Bend in 1910, the next to last family to leave. The Isaac Geisenberg family moved to Trenton, Louisiana, in the early 1860’s where Isaac died in 1863.
It is a time to share memories, receive condolences and say goodbye. Henrietta’s first grandchild, Bettie and Jim’s daughter Henrietta Jane Witherow was born July 18, 1874, at Waggaman, La. The following year, Henrietta’s first grandson Joseph Francis Witherow was born in December 1875. Did the new grandmother, perhaps with her daughter Jennie, make trips to Waggaman to help the new mother and cuddle the new babies?
The war had been bad, but the period of Carpetbag Rule following the war is said to have been worse and has been described as chaos. Henrietta’s life must have been chaos, as she was adjudicated bankrupt at this time. After the war, Henrietta returned with her children to Milliken’s Bend.
Perhaps Henrietta followed the wartime career of her former neighbor Dr. Henry Wirz. During the war, Captain Wirz commanded the Confederate prison at Andersonville, GA. Henrietta had been living on the Island for a while when, in 1862 and again in 1863, Union soldiers confiscated her goods. The Union soldiers took 600 cords of wood worth $5 each, 50 hogs worth $5 each, 5 cattle worth $30 each, and 500 bushels of corn worth $1.50 each. Lizzie Reed and Thomas Staten saw the Union boat take the flat boat loaded with corn being brought from Island 102 to Milliken’s Bend. Turner Johnson was in the 49the Infantry, a black Union Army unit.
