Early Hurtigs

George was born in Saarwerden Co., Alsasce Loraine. This territory is on the boarder between France and Germany and has changed nationality many times. His father was a tailor and they like most, had a small substance farm. George learned both trades. At the age of 26, he traveled to the French port of Havre where he boarded the ship Logan with his mother and sister Elisa and immigrated to America. On Oct. 5, 1857 they arrived in New York City. Unfortunately their mother became ill and died shortly after arrival. George then made his way to Defiance, Ohio where he became a tailor. He Married Mary Schlert on Sept. 11, 1860. They bought a farm in Emerald Twp., Paulding Co. Ohio where they moved and he became a farmer until his death.
Mary was born in Bavaria Germany To John and Anna Schlert. There are at least 9 known spellings of their last name. Slerit, Sleigart, Shelerit, Schlerth, Schlersh, Schlerit, Scheret, and Schlert. My guess is that their English was not good and they did not know how to write, so every time they filed a form, the person spelled it like it sounded to them.
Josephine was born and lived on the family farm in Emerald Twp. In 1888 when she was 26 years old, she married John Bopry, a 50 year old widower from Perrysburg, over 50 miles away.

The family is absent from the 1920 census. John died in 1928 and Josephine moved in with her son on his farm in Peniusula Twp. Grand Traverse Co. The 1940's finds Josephine still living with her son, now married with 2 children. Josephine died in 1951.

Frank pulled a butcher knife from under the counter and told the man " If I see the hammer on that gun move, I will thrust this knife through your chest". The man thought a couple of seconds and then slowly backed out of the market. 1930 found Frank 58 years old and living in a house he owned on 610 Perry St. in Defiance, Ohio.
