Notes
a. Note:   Joseph Anton Greber was a butcher who ran a meat market at Clara St. near Buffalo Bayou with his brother Anton. His son Anton Otto also worked there until the early 1900s. Their home was located at 3002 German, Houston TX.
  He is shown with his wife and children on the 1900 census also with a black servant. 1930 Census shows he owns property valued at $20,000. Son, Anton, is listed as a reporter working in Radio industry
  Later Joseph is shown with a woman listed as Mathilda who is described by my Grandfather as his "housekeeper). Was Mathilda the same black servant listed above? Interesting...
  Per letter to my brother from Grandpa Palmer:
 Re: Aunt Tilley (housekeeper - Mathilda) box drawn with a squiggley line on family tree attached to Joseph Greber as if they were connected but not legally married.
  "My Grandmother Mrs. Appfel Greber died before the turn of the century and my grandfather did not remarry. Instead "Aunt Tilley" continued to work for him until his death in the early 1940s. Hence the listing above."
  His drawing would seem to indicate that he was aware that they were in a relationship of sorts.
  **In actuality Fredericka Apffel died in childbirth having her last child Paschal. in 1908.
  Anton Otto (son) shows his mother was born in Louisianna on his draft card while some census records say she was born in Dubuque Iowa.
