"Writing about one's self can be excused for an old man

whose memories tell him of much that he can be grateful for

so that he can express his thanks. I entered first grade at

St. Peter and Paul's school at the age of 7. School was not

far. We had moved to my grandfather's duplex on Webster Place,

between Cramer Street and Oakland Avenue. My mother loved me

dearly and kept me home under her own tutelage so that throughout

my school life I found myself a year older than most of

my classmates."

Notes on Hirschboeck:

 

Damion Hirschböck married Maria Anna Reichlin on February 04, 1801 in Bergheim. The family was so traditional that a dowry was appropriately transmitted from the bride to the groom. The only recorded child of Damion and Maria Anna is Sebastian Hirschböck, the immigrant ancestor, who was born in 1807 in Bergheim.
