_______________, _______________, _______________, _______________;
the following information is obtained:

- August's age is not mentioned in the
1865, 1877, or 1878 letters. From the comment about daughter Minna
being at home helping her mother, it can be assumed that his wife is
still alive in 1878. He is apparently less well off financially than
Christoph, as their father's will stipulates that he pay a
considerably smaller amount towards the inheritance that their
sister Hanna receives than Christoph is required to pay. The letter
of 1878 gives information on his children as follows: Karl, living
in Schonfeld near Leipzig is a cabinetmaker. Ferdinant, is in Turgau
(possibly Turkey) as a soldier. Emilie, living in the 'parish' at
Radgenstadt. Minna, age 15 at home helping her mother. Otto, 10
years old (assorted, Original records and papers, Letters from
Christoph Seidel to his sister Hannah Ebenstein.)

- MISC: National
Archives, military/pension file for Charles F. Ebenstein; Included
in the 3 page report of the Pension Department's special examiner,
George W. McKean, are the following comments on Hannah:
`...The soldier and claimant are
Germans and that class of people keep their business affairs to
themselves and it was impossible to find any one, outside of the son
Joseph and the claimant - not even her other son - who knew anything
about her business or affairs....The claimant appears to be an
honest old German woman, and in making her statement, she said if
she was not entitled to a pension, she did not want it, adding that
she wouldn't tell a lie for all the pensions' (National Archives of United
States.)
