Background

Marie and a non-related boy named Cyrillus, were adopted by the Theisings in their mature years. August Theising, born in 1861, was a construction worker in poor health who retired in 1917 and died in 1922.

Marie and Cyrillus

Her two oldest brothers when she was adult, invited Marie to move to the Northwest, which greatly upset her parents, and she refused, instead taking a job at housework. She spent many years until her own retirement, at Indian Hill in Cincinnati, as household manager for a prominent and wealthy family. Summers, she went with the family to the Eastern Seaboard where she managed their vacation home also.

Marie and George Marie and George

Marie and her three older brothers remained in touch, but all contact with the youngest brother Paul, adopted at six months of age, was lost.

During World War II, a sailor known to the oldest brother John, was on the deck of a ship with a magazine in which was asked about the whereabouts of two brothers named John and George who had moved to the West. A breeze came up, the magazine was blown overboard and the sailor later could remember neither the name of the magazine nor location of the person who was asking.
