Watt: My grandmother, Josephine, was originally married to David Curry and they lived in Muncie, Indiana. When he died at a young age, she remarried Rudolph Hottinger (in 1907). At that time, my mother, Mildred (born June 3, 1901) and my aunt, Josephine Agnes (born April 24, 1900) were young. They stayed in Muncie until 1918, at which time they came to Washington, DC, and Rudolph began working at Navy Yard. They lived on Capitol HIll in a nice 3-story rowhouse which they bought in 1941 for $800. The last time I checked, the house was sold for much, much more. I am a little confused about other children. As far as I know, they (Josephine & Rudolph) had no children together. Celina (Josephine's younger sister) had a daughter, Celina, and two grandchildren that I knew, Jimmy (James Duncan) and Celina Duncan (so Celina #1, #2, #3-they liked that name). I think they live in Florida now, but am not sure. Josephine Agnes (my aunt) had 3 children, only one o! f whom survived, Eleanor, who moved to California to be near her children, but she has passed away also. She had 6 children, 5 girls and 1 boy. I live in suburb of DC and work in a law firm in Baltimore (9/11 scared me out of DC). My mother, Mildred, passed away in 1985. She had 2 sons and 4 daughters; I am the youngest. At least I'm the youngest something, although not young (58). My sister, Millie, and I are her only surviving children. Menard ancestry is really difficult to trace as the name is so common. Please let me know what other info you have, and I'll share other info w/you. My direct e-mail address is jofredericks@comcast.net
