O'Neill-Hayes Funeral Home, Directory 13031

Hope Elizabeth Yordy, 58, of Newport, R.I., passed away on Monday, Oct. 29, 2018. She left us far, far too soon, after a brave battle with stage IV lung cancer.

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.

This is generally required if you would like to hold a viewing and visitation at the funeral home or if you will be needing any assistance from the staff. The Jewish cemetery at Schwanfeld, the final resting-place for the Geisenberg family in Germany, is today in very good condition, maintained by the Hempel family. Did Henrietta and her son travel to Vicksburg for the auspicious occasion of the dedication of the new Temple? If she did, was she overcome with feelings upon hearing Jewish hymns sung in her native German language.

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 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.

The restored Ark and eternal light from Temple Anshe Chesed of Vicksburg is now at the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience, Utica, Mississippi. The course of the Mississippi River has changed over the last hundred years, and the site of “old” Milliken’s Bend is now on the east bank of the river.

At this time, in fact from the 1820’s to about 1880, Jewish immigration into the US almost entirely was made up of immigrants from Germany. In addition to the Yiddish name given to her at her birth, Jandel had two other personal names in her life. For clarity and continuity, I will refer to her only as Henrietta.

The brothers were so upset that, when the opportunity arose to sell the land to Temple Anshe Chesed as a cemetery, they sold it, in August 1864. In spite of the growing prosperity of the area, Henrietta had lost all her property during the war and was unable to raise sufficient money to meet the expense of taking testimony for her claim. In the States, on April 9,1865, Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House.

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.

Milliken’s Bend, also called “the Bend,” was a community located about miles north of Vicksburg, on the western bank of the Mississippi River in Madison Parish, Louisiana. In keeping with the practice of the time, the village had been named for the largest property owner at that bend in the river, John Milliken. With millions of names, it's an invaluable tool for genealogist and history buffs.

The government file does not reflect the disposition of the claim. Below the design on the tombstone is a line of Hebrew writing. Henrietta’s name on her tombstone reads in the Hebrew script “Hannah daughter of Simon.” Also in Hebrew is given her date of death and date of burial and the year, according to the Jewish calendar. Henrietta’s daughter Bettie, attending school in New Orleans, met James “Jim” Witherow, the younger brother of Joe Witherow.

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.
