Wilhelm Oteman en Elisa Kroes. Profession
father: "Labourer". Place of birth parents : Holland. Here also the official name is Henrica and not Henrietta. Died 11/08/1981 Racine WI.
Hattie
was, with Harold Eugene Kreyche, the founder of the numerous Kreyche‑Oteman
branch,
who lived in the beginning in Racine WI and later moved to Chicago and got now
spread all over the States. Hattie
was a particularly beautiful but also courageous woman. She had a tough life,
raising five children all on her own, but nevertheless succeeded in giving her
children a very happy childhood, even though it was Depression time and
luxuries and even necessities were scarce.! As
a single woman she worked at Hartmann Trunk Company in Racine WI and held some
other jobs later. Her education was limited to grammar school, a Catholic one
run by a German Priest and a Dutch one. She knew German and some Dutch.
(Probably her parents, both from Holland have spoken Dutch at home in the
first years after their immigration and the eldest children picked that up.!
We know that mother Betty Kroes
had great difficulties to learn the English language and that she only came
through it when the children went
to school.) When
her children got to the high school age,
Hatty worked by Wells Gardner, a defence firm, and Hammond Organ. She bought one and her daughter, Doris, took lessons in playing it, later playing professionally. Hattie
always loved music (did grandson
Richard inherit that?) and read Shakespeare and the Bible. In her own way she
was very self educated which inspired her children. She
had a Starck inner player piano and at night all the children liked gather
around it singing old time songs. Still
today her son ,Jerry, knows more verses of WWI songs than the veterans of that
war! She also loved penny poker games with her sisters, who were mostly
centered in the neighbourhood, and she was also a devotee of Bingo. During
the high school years of the children, she met a commercial artist from
Chicago and they intended to marry, as the family moved to that city. But
she found out he was divorced and called the marriage off. The
move to the big city gave all the children more opportunities for work and
education that otherwise they could not have had. So it was a serendipitous
thing. When
she died, her son Gerald and his wife were on
family camping in the wilderness in Canada. It was very sad for them.
Marr. Harold J.Eugene (Eugene) KREYCHE , born 25/05/1898 Sturgeon Bay WI. Also 1897 is mentioned.
Died 02/06/1935 Racine WI. Harold
enlisted as a volunteer in the Army in WWI and was part of the American
Expeditionary Force (AEF), which was sent to Europe. He fought in the Battle
of the Marne in France. He was a Corporal with the field Artillery and was a
part of the Red Arrow or 32nd Division. That
should have been in 1916, when he was 18 years old. When the war was over,
he was 20 and he worked for a while with the meat company,
Armors, as an accountant as he had some business college education. He
probably married in 1919 with Hattie Oteman, as Robert is born in 1920. He
was 21 at the time and Hattie 3 years older. Harold
died very young. In WW.I his lungs were badly damaged by gas and, back home he
contacted somewhere in 1927/28 tuberculosis and stayed during 8 years in a
health resort, where in the end he succumbed to T.B.C. (1935)
His wife and children got left behind in rather poor circumstances,
although Hattie finally got a State pension, for which she had to fight for
years. It
is clear that the children hardly have any memories of their father. Gerald was 7
at the time and his father died on his First Communion Day.! This
family history is very similar to that of Henk, Ger and Wim Oteman in Holland,
who lost their father at a young age and whose mother had to work and show
character to give their children a reasonable chance in life and more
opportunities than she herself had in hers. Harold
had certain writers talents and wrote a brief history of his experiences in
the Army and his penmanship was a thing of beauty.
Son of Joseph KREYCHE and Annie Augusta STRICKERT . From this marriage: 1. Robert Joseph (Bob) A.B. en A.M. KREYCHE , born 26/08/1920 Racine WI (see also VII.39). 2. Eleanor Mary (Elly) KREYCHE , born 11/08/1922 Chicago IL(see also VII.43). 3. Eugene Anthony (Bud) KREYCHE , born 21/10/1924 (see also VII.44). 4. Gerald F. (Jerry) KREYCHE , born 19/06/1927 (see also VII.46). 5. Doris Bernadette KREYCHE (see also VII.49).
