Joseph (W2A8) owed a very successful business in New Crieans known as the Louisiana Glass and Mirror Works. He was.a menber of the Board of Directors of the Contractors and Dealers Exchange in New Orlaana. Joseph (W248) appears to have been the only one of the eight sons of John (W2) to inherit the good tue iness and financial acumen of his father. Some of the eons vere reported as not being particularly industrious and they lived om money from their father. After the death of John (#2), Joseph gave uoney to his brothers, but required that they furnish security. As the brothers defaulted on their debts to him, Joseph (Was) accumlated most of the family wealth and heirlooms that wers used to eure the debts of hie trothers. Joseph (W2A8) and his wife, Therssa HEIMSECK, celetrated their 60th wadd- ing anniversary on June 18, 1947 in their home et 1508 Calhoun in New Crieans, where they had lived for 54 years, Theresa born in 1870 my hava teen a sistor of Phillip J, HEIMEBCK JR., tora August 8 1871, the husband of Elizabeth MATZ (Weag31), who ms-a daughter of Elizabeth WECKERLING VATZ (1283), a sister of voseph (Weae). If this is 90, then e niece of Joseph (H2AS) married his broth~ erein-lan. As noted earlier, John (#2) as a widower, was living near his brewery in _ 1890, and at 1505 Calhoun Street when he died in 1908. after their carriage in 1887, Theresa and Joseph (W2A3) moved in 1893 te 1505 Calhoun Street. it + time (June 1978), it is not knom what year John (W2) moved to 1505 Calhoun Street, and whether the large house there belonged to him originally, or to his eon, Joseph (w2ae).

The only child-of Theresi and Josoph WECKERLING (W248) wes a daughter, named Josephine (WEASEL), reportedly called “Phoonie"; who wie torn in 1890 and died November 10, 1870. Theresa ws reported to have boon very ambitious for her daughter. Protebly through the efforts of her mother, Josephine married woalthy John WGYERabout 1919 or in a-later yoar when he was over 50 years old and she ms protbly over 30 years old. John MSYER-bad boom provicusly uarried to Elizabeth WECKERLING (W2A1B2) until her death on Deceuber 28, 1918. ‘Thus, Josephine warried the husband of her 1st cousin, Elizebeth WCCGRLING (W2A1E2), who wag about 21 years older than Josopiino, John F. WECKERLING (W241), the firet child of John (W2) and fathor of Blizaboth vas nearly 1? years clder than his brother, Joseph (W248), the eighth child of Jom (2). Therefore, while the Ist cousins, Elizateth ard Josephine, mere in the same generation gonon logically, they were about e generation apart (21 years) in age. ‘Josephine (W2ABEL) iad to children, but by hor marriage she becaue the stop~wother of the four children of John and Sligebsth WECKERLING MEYER (¥2A1=2). She was only three to fourteen years older tian the stepchildren who werer John MEYER JR. (W2A132C1), Elizabeth ("Dede") MEYER LAZiRO (W2A1R2C2), Frank UGYER (W2ALB2C3), and William MEYER (W2AIRZC4). As noted previously, John MEYER maa very successful Wusiness can in the fruit and produce business in New Orleans, and his grandson, John Julio MEYER (W2AT820301), has (1975) the John J. WGYER Investuenta at One Shell Squere in New Orleans. Josephine WECKERLING MEYER (W2AEB1) inherited uost of the TECKERLING uoney from her grandfather, John (W2), through her father, Joseph (W248), and prob- ably mch of the MEYER money through her hustand, John VETER. However, under Louisiana law, the extensive MEYER property was inhsrited ty the children of John and Elizabeth WECKERLING MEYER (W24152) and their descentaxts. Most of the wealth inherited by Josephine (W2A851) disappeared before and after her death on November 10, 1970. She kept company with a young church organist in her church, Charles 3. Young, dr., and it seens that he digposed of her estate. Josephine (W2AGB1) protebly contributed considerable money to the First Evangelical church, which was founded in 1625, nd is now (1975) located at 5212 South Claiborne Avenue in Now Orleans, Louisiane. It was known origimlly ae part of-Evangelicel Synod of North America and German Reformed Church in America. ‘The first official name of the church was "First Gernan Protestant Church of New Orleans, Louisiana". The church was the fourth to incorporate (1826) and the second Protestant church forzed in New Orleans. The well-knewn Clio Street church, dedicated on October 4, 1640, was the first church owned ty the congregation. Ths church wes partly destroyed on Wey 2, 1058 by fire caused ww Lightning. On Sunday, lay 16, 1886, the Purvis Sash Factéry on the uptown cor~ ner of St. Charles Avenue and Clio Street was destroyed by fire and with it tho adjacent Clio Street church comtaining a pipe organ installed only two weeks before. The new church on the sate cite, dedicated om Decenber 4, 1267, was completely destroyed ty fire on January 17, 1905.oon) eee ae hae ether eae ee ee eee HISTORY OF WECKERLING DESCENDANTS JOR JOSTPH WECKERLTNG (72) On November 29, 1906 the rame of the church was changed to "The First Evangelical Church". A new church was built at the corner of Carondelet and St. Marys Streets and opened with a dedication service on Jamary 13 1907. Later it became evident that the church mist expand and relocate, so the con- gregation in Septeuber 1936 purchased the site of the present church on South Cladborne Avenus at Jefferson Avenus. On Oetober.24, 1949 the old church was sold to the Salvation Army, and the congregation uoved to the present church after it was completed ani dedicated on December 2, 1951. Josephine WECKERLING MEYER (W2A8H1) was probably very activs in the First Evangelical Chureh, as most likely vara her parents, and her grandfather, John (2). Another granddaughter of John (V2) and a Ist cousin of Josephine, Paul~ ine WECKERLING UEHRTINS (W2A12%), married on September 16, 1929 a minister, Revererd Frederic J. MEHRTENS, who was raised in this church. According to the 125th and 150th anniversary bulletins of the church in 1960 ard in 1975, he graduated from Eden Theological Seminary in Webster Groves, Missouri in vay and was ordained in June 1929. He served several churches, including his last charge, the Luther United Church of Christ at Orange Grove, Texas. In August 1907S he and Pauline (W2A12%) retired to 210 Roberts Street in Bryan, Temsy where Leomrd 2. WECKERLING (W4A3E2C1) and his wife, Luella, tad a fine visit for the first tive with them on November 12, 1975. Leonard and Luella have continued to enjoy wonderful visits with this fine couple to cate (June 1978) both in Bryan and dustin, Texas. Paulins is a younger sister of Brigadier Gonersi John WECKERLING (W2A12BL). Josephine (W2A8HL) apparently becane vary senile im her old age. She kept company, as voted previously, with Charles S. Young Jr.» organist for her church, where ke served from September 1944 to January 1968. They would play organ music together in the home of Josephine on her personal organ. Josephine lived ina very large house with a large side yard, many blocks west of the “Garden District" of New Orleans, at 1505 Calhoun Streets As noted earlier, this house at the corner of Calhoun and Hirst Streets, belonged to her father, Joseph (W2a8), and probatly originally to her grandfather, John (¥2). After the death of Josephine (W248R1) at age 80 on November 10, 2970, it soous that Charles S. Young Jr., the organist, disposed of her estate. He tore dow the house and built two new brick houses (apartment style) ox the two large lots. The trick houses contrast unfavorably wits the very old, distinct ive, large houses axisting (1975) in this area, which appears to be an exten= sion of the "Carden District" of New Orleans, located many blocks to the east. “Ths "Garden District" is still one of the uost charning sections of New Orleans. Tt wis the center of Auerican aristocracy during antebellum days. There, in a setting of live oaks, palms, ard ugrolias, stand wany fine large homes, which ara still in possession of descendants of the original omers, Although the WECKERLING fenily was reported to telong to The First Evan~ gelical Church, ona unusual fact is that primte funeral services were held for Josephine (W2ASB1) frow the Jackson Avenue Evangelical Congregation Church at Jackson Avenus and Chippam Strast in the “Garden District’, She was turied in the tomb of har father, Joseph (W248), in Ustarie cenetery in lew Criesne, along with her mother and her hustand, John MEYER. me) aHISTORY OF WECKERLING DESCENDANTS Zon JOSEPH ECKERLING (¥2) The eddrees of Josephine VECKERLING MEYER (W2AS8E1) at 1505 Calhoun Stress swe eeneeleT SEIS!
