    Born in Germany, Anthony immigrated to the United States, arriving in 1914. He became a citizen five years later in 1919. He lived in New York the majority of his life & eventually moved to Brevard County, Florida, specifically the city of Titusville. By the by, I am his great-granddaughter, a Witch and psychic medium, and I do NOT give anyone else permission to edit the entries on this site concerning him. That is my right & my right alone. Anyone else who does so will be targeted for legal action.

  • Professional Career

    When he was 45 years old, Anthony was working at Chevrolet Motor Company in West County, New York. He retired from General Motors Corporation as an assemblyman.

  • Personal Life & Family

    Born to Charles Perske and Mary Staler on June 4th, 1894 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, Anthony was an only child. Anthony Perske married Katherine E. Apel (1897 - 1969), also from Germany, on October 2nd, 1919 in Greene New York, and they had two children: a son, Robert A. (1922 - 2010) and a daughter. On his 1942 World War II civilian draft card, Anthony was described as being 5 feet 9 inches tall and as weighing 165 pounds. He had blue eyes, brown hair, and a "light" complexion. He was also noted as having a "wave in his hair." He was survived by three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. * My great-grandfather was 5'6. And I have always been amused that he is likely where I inherited my own unruly, wavy hair from. (See his memories of Anthony at Memory about Anthony Perske). Also see Anthony Perske: Obituary.

Anthony was, or rather is, my paternal great-grandfather. This remarkable man immigrated to the United States just days before World War 1 began. Only in his twenties, he set sail from Antwerp, Belgium for New York aboard the ship Vaterland. He had been born in the city of Gelsenkirchen, Germany located in what is now the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, a region very dear to me for many reasons. Once in the States, he took up farming. He became a citizen of this country in 1919. He eventually married the beautiful Katherine & went to work for Chevrolet. Anthony is very much a part of my life. Though he died a handful of years before I was born, he is very well-known to me now. My great-granddad is my spirit guide & source of trusted guidance as I navigate a midlife of both mental, physical, and financial challenges. The last few years, especially 2023 up until now, have been extremely difficult. I used to think I couldn't survive it all, couldn't cope, but then I am reminded of this gentleman, whose blood runs in my veins, who left everything he knew and cast himself upon a far distant shore as barely more than a kid. Dear Great-Grandpa Anthony, thank you for passing your indefatigable spirit along to me. And thank you for your constant help, always sending me signs when I need them. I'd be lost without you.
