RENFROE NOTES FROM CRAWFORD CO. ARKANSAS

Letter to Kolb brothers, December 27, 1891

Dear Brothers,

It is really a long time since I heard from you, but I am not blameless either for I could have written to you sooner. My dear brothers Adam, Peter, Heinrich and Johann, are you all in good health? I am hoping with all my heart that you could celebrate the holidays with your families.

Dear brothers, our sister Katarinia died November the 26th. She would have been 55 in March. Her husband Nikolas still is well.

Thank God my family and I enjoy good health. My oldest son Adam is a Sergeant with the artillery in Kassel on the Wilhelmshohe. He is married and has 2 children. My oldest daughter, Margaretha, is also married in Rosenburg. Her husband is in the army too in Kassel. They have one child. My second daughter is a seamstress. My 2 younger sons, Hohannes and Georg are working in Kassel in a machine fabrik. My youngest daughter, Maria, graduated last Easter and wants to become also a seamstress in Rotehburg. My wife does the work at home and I go every day on duty at the station.

Dear brothers and sisters-in-law, since we could not spend the holidays together, I am wishing you all a happy New Year. I promise you, this next year I will send you pictures of us.

Everything is very expensive now in Germany. 300 pounds of corn cost 12 Mark; 300 pounds of potatoes cost 10-11 Mark. 1 pound of pork meat cost 70 Pfenning. The fields are looking good, so with God's help there might be a better year ahead. I have heard that we get wheat from Kansas and also meat from America. In Russia are things still worse than in Germany. We have funny weather for this time of year. Last week we had thunderstorms instead cold and snow.

My dear brother Peter, our brother-in-law Niklaus wants you to write to him, he wants your address. We all would like to hear from you. We don't know if you all are still alive and well.

Today is Sunday and I am writing this letter from the station for I am on duty. Had to quit a few times. The trains interrupted. I beg of you, let us hear something, even if it is only a few lines. Heartfelt greetings from me and my family to all you, my dear brothers and family.

My address is Phillip Kolb Stationmaster in (?). Please write soon.

Letter to Kolb brothers from Rothenburg, May the 24th, 1903

Dear Brothers!

Now since you do have my address you will hopefully write to me more often. Dear brothers Johannes & Adam, The letter you wrote to me May 1 we received. We are glad that you brothers are still alive & happy. I am sorry to hear that our brother Heinrich has passed away. I am just sorry that we have not written more to each other. I always thought he might be dead. You dear brothers Johannes & Adam should also write more often for you do have my address Phillip Kolb in Rothenburgold Fulda. We live there already for 2 years. I am in pension now and get seventy mark a month this are 23 Thaler & 10 groshen.

Dear brothers you wrote me about our brother Nikolaus. He acted very shabby against us and our parents. They got run out of their home and then from the profits they bought the Iffte Plant for 1,500 Gulden. This money pocketed later also Nicklaus. Later our parents lost also the Faffahouse & Weines. This should have been ours. How he did it is beyond me.

Our parents also had lend out 2,000 Gulden to somebody in Schlischtern and some to the Mayor of Werbefritz. The rest what was left swindled the Nikolaus & the Tuda Derz from Neussof Schlischtern from them. They wrote notes against it.

Our dear old Father did not realize what was going on, he wound up pennyless. The last few years he was ill, de depended on the food people gave him or he would have been starving to death.

Dear Brothers, Niklaus willed everything to his son. In order that he had clear title he would have needed your signature. Write him, he should give you first what's due you. I do believe there is nothing to salvage anyway from all that in Faffenhag and Weines. Also, from Faldanch we won't get nothing. Our parents really should have been more careful and so we came out with nothing.

Dear Brothers, you wanted to know about my kids. I have 3 boys and 3 girls. The oldest son is in Overurfal by Hamburg and is a railroad station assistant. The second one is in Essen at the Kruggsplant. The third one is machine runner in Offenbach by Frankfurt. The oldest girl is here in Rothenburg, her husband works in a mill. The second girl is in Breitenbach by Bebra. The third girl is in Bebra, her husband is also with the railroad. Only my wife and I are left at home.

We are well and so are all my kids. Dear Brothers, if you still want to know the address of the clerk in Weinan, I will send the address to you. My wife will be going to see her sister this summer there, or you could write the Royal Office in Meinernkreis Schlinchtern and they will send it to you.

Many Greetings to you all, Brother Johannes, Adam and your families.

Phillip Kolb
