Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Joseph BRUTSCHÉ was born 17 Jun 1801, Dogern, Baden, Germany; was christened 18 Jun 1801, Dogern, Baden, Germany; died 28 May 1888, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; was buried Monument Cemetery, Philadelphia removed to Lawnview Cemetery, Rockledge, Pennsylvania, Susquehanna Lawn, Section 64, Grave 51 .

    Notes:

    Joseph's surname was spelled "Bruotschi" in the birth record, pronounced "BROOT-she" in German. We do not know how the pronunciation changed to "bru-SHAY" here in the United States. One possibility is because Jeanette Brutsché consistently advertised offering the finest in 'French Millinery,' she felt the need to be seen as being from France. It should also be noted that in the 1880 Census Joseph Brutsché, the son of Joseph and Jeanette, living in Denison Texas, listed both of his parents as having been born in France instead of Germany and Switzerland. This could have related either to his mother's business, or his own situation in Texas, where Germans were disliked because of their Civil War pacifism and reluctance to fight for the Confederacy.

    The Philadelphia Business Directories listed J. Brutsche as a merchant for the years 1833 - 1836, a boarding house owner in 1837, and then for the years 1838 - 1853, J. Brutsche was listed as a milliner, so likely Jeanette. Then Joseph was listed from 1854 - 1877 as a water color manufacturer.

    Joseph, Jeanette, and their son Henry were originally buried at Monument Cemetery in Philadelphia. Their remains were relocated to Lawnview Cemetery in Rockledge in 1956 upon the closure of Monument Cemetery and its acquisition and redevelopment by Temple University.


    Name spelled 'Brütschi' in 1833 Vater Fenderich letter, 'Brutshi' on 1837 burial record of daughter Carolina Jeanette, and arguably 'Brutschi' on the Ship's Manifest.

    Joseph's year of birth was variously recorded as follows: Birth Record 1801, Ship's Manifest 1802, Naturalization 1804, 1850 US Census 1805, Death Certificate 1801.


    The leading Brutsche genealogist in Germany for many years was Armin Brutsche from Murg, a town on the Rhine about 14 kilometers from Dogern. On Jun 22, 2019 Armin wrote, "Hello Gary - I've reviewed your data. I think your conclusions are correct. Your Joseph must be the Joseph Bruotschi born in 1801 in Dogern." Tragically, Armin died in an automobile accident on February 25, 2021.

    Joseph married Jeanette LEHMAN 2 Feb 1832, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Jeanette (daughter of Samuel M. LEHMAN and Catharina PIAT) was christened 6 Apr 1806, Aarau, Aargau, Switzerland; died 27 Feb 1894, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; was buried Monument Cemetery, Philadelphia removed to Lawnview Cemetery, Rockledge, Pennsylvania, Susquehanna Lawn, Section 64, Grave 51 .

    "One of the saddest events that have happened in Denison for many years was the sudden death of our pioneer townsman, Joe Brutsche, Thursday.
    Mr. Brutsche died at home. When stricken down he was engaged in doing some work in the back yard. Death was instant. It was a flash from time into eternity. We think it a good way to step behind the veil, for long suffering is not the wish of any one. Mr. Brutsche was one of the old guards of pioneer Denison, casting his lot here in 1872. His whole life had been a very busy and useful one. His first business venture was with the Adams Express Co., of which he was agent. He was better known as city assessor and collector. When he retired from that office he took up fire insurance and was conducting that business at the time of death. As a business man he was not surpassed in Denison. In March l878, was married to Miss May Legate, the sister of Russ Legate, who was a teacher at the time in the public schools. To the union six children were born. He is survived by the following relatives: His wife. Mrs. May A. Brutsche; children. Mrs. John Gregg. Sherman; Mrs. Frank G. Hobart. Fort Worth; Sidney Brutsche. Oklahoma City; Harry Brutsche, Denison; Miss Eugenia Brutsche, Denison; Joseph Brutsche. Jr., Denison.
    We are sorry that Joe Brutsche is dead, and that sorrow is shared by thousands who loved and esteemed him. His character and disposition were of the sort that he made friends and held them." The Sunday Gazetter, Denison Texas, February 7, 1909

    Joseph married May Augusta LEGATE 1878, Denison, Grayson, Texas. May (daughter of Sidney Smith LEGATE and Hannah Wiggin SMITH) was born 9 Sep 1856, Stratham, Rockingham, New Hampshire; died 1 Nov 1935, Brownsville, Cameron, Texas; was buried Fairview Cemetery, Denison, Grayson, Texas.

    Notes:

    Henry was awarded the Civil War Congressional Medal of Honor, although he never actually received it. He served in the Union Navy as a Landsman and entered the service in Pennsylvania. He was awarded the CMOH on General Order Number 45, dated December 31, 1864. His citation reads "Served on board the USS Tacony during the taking of Plymouth, North Carolina, 31 October 1864. Carrying out his duties faithfully during the capture of Plymouth, Brutsche distinguished himself by a display of coolness when he participated in landing and spiking a 9-inch gun while under a devastating fire from enemy musketry." (Henry was eighteen years old at the time)

    Joseph, Jeanette, and their son Henry were originally buried at Monument Cemetery in Philadelphia. In 1956 Monument Cemetery was condemned by the City of Philadelphia and sold to Temple University, and all of the graves there were exhumed and relocated to Lawnview Cemetery in Rockledge, Pennsylvania. Most of the existing headstones were dumped en masse into the Delaware River near the present-day Betsy Ross Bridge to protect the shoreline from erosion.



    Henry died of 'albuminuria,' the presence of albumin in the urine, a symptom of kidney disease associated with diabetes.



    Henry liked soldiering. He also served in the 44th Pennsylvania Militia in 1863, and the 2nd Provisional Pennsylvania Cavalry in 1865-66



    Plymouth had been occupied by Union forces from 1862 until April 1864, when the Confederate forces launched a counter attack. During the night of April 18th, the iron-clad Albemarle, taking advantage of an abnormally high river level, safely passed over obstructions which had been placed in the Roanoke River by the Union Army and slipped undamaged past Fort Gray, west of Plymouth. In the predawn hours of April 19th, the Albemarle encountered the Southfield and the Miami, the most powerful Union vessels on the Roanoke. The Albemarle promptly sank the first and heavily damaged the second, forcing the Miami and two other gunboats to retreat. Late that afternoon, the Confederates launched a double envelopment attack against both the east and west sides of the town. The Union General Henry Wessels unconditionally surrendered his entire command on April 20th. But on October 28, 1864 Lt. William Cushing and twenty-two men sailed up the Roanoke River in a 30 foot steam launch with a lanyard-detonated torpedo mounted on a spar and after reaching the Albemarle, detonated it against the hull creating a hole "big enough to drive a wagon in." She sank immediately in six feet of water, paving the way for Union forces to retake Plymouth a few days later.

    Notes:

    May Hobart Zentmyer, 94, died Nov. 20, 2008, after a brief illness, in Baldwin Park, Calif. She was the mother of longtime La Cañada residents Gary Zentmyer and Jeanie Riddell and San Diego resident John Zentmyer. May was born in Los Angeles on Oct. 22, 1914. She graduated from UCLA, where she was women's editor of the Daily Bruin. It was there she met her future husband, the sports editor, John Zentmyer. After graduation, she became society editor for the Los Angeles Citizen News, covering such events as the first Lux Radio Theater broadcast, and the Screen Actors' Guild Ball at the Coconut Grove. Her husband's career as an air traffic controller found her moving around the country, raising their family in Northern California, Texas, Florida and Virginia, before returning to Southern California. They immediately gravitated to the church they'd attended during college, the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood, where they served faithfully for many years. After earning California credentials, May became a teacher and librarian in Watts. After 20 years she returned to UCLA, earning a master's degree in library science. She finished her career in 1980 as a consulting librarian for the Los Angeles Unified School District. Always wanting to be productive, she next became the director of Christian Education at their church, St. Andrew's of Redondo Beach, a position she held until 1987. She and John then traveled extensively, and contributed many volunteer hours to their church. Her hobby of collecting early children's literature resulted in her being honored with a UCLA Distinguished Alumni award.

    She is survived by John H. Zentmyer (Jill), Gary Zentmyer (Claudia), Jeanie Riddell, grandchildren Mark Zentmyer (Tiffany), Scott Riddell, Eric Zentmyer, Michael Riddell, Brian Zentmyer, Jeffrey Riddell (Katy), Becky Zentmyer, Will Zentmyer, Ellie McGee, and great-grandson Thomas Zentmyer. Services will be held at Royal Oaks Manor in Bradbury on Saturday, Nov. 29, at 3:30 p.m. Contributions in her memory may be made to The American Lung Association, 61 Broadway, New York, NY 10006. -- La Canada Valley Sun, 27 Nov 2008
