Notes

Note: Anna Przytulski Ewald was born in Poland. While her death certificate lists her date of birth as June, 1872, she told the census taker in 1900 that she was born in May, 1873; her tombstone shows June 17, 1873, the date I've used. Her immigration record shows her to have been age 18 on 16 Oct. 1890, giving an 1872 birth year. The prayer book of Joseph Ewald, her husband's twin, states her birth date as 15 June 1872. She had a child by a local man in Germany/Poland, named either Podgorski or Wieczniak and was only 17 when son Anthony was born. Her father prevented her from marrying the father of her child, according to family stories.
She immigrated to the US in 1890, joining other of her siblings in Detroit. She arrived on the ship "America" which departed from the Port of Bremen, Germany, arriving at the port of Baltimore in Oct. 1890. The following is a description of that ship: This vessel is the Norddeutscher Lloyd steamship AMERICA, built by Caird & Co, Greenock, Scotland, and launched in November 1862. 2,752 tons; 96,92 x 12,19 meters (318 x 40 feet, length x beam); clipper bow, 1 funnel, 3 masts; iron construction, screw propulsion, service speed 11 knots; passenger accommodation: 76 1st-, 107 2nd-, and 480 steerage-class. 25 May 1863, maiden voyage, Bremen-Southampton-New York. 1871, engines compounded by Day, Summers & Co, Southampton. 27 January 1894, last voyage, Bremen-New York-Baltimore. 1894, sold to an Italian company and renamed ORAZIO. 1895, scrapped at Spezia [Noel Reginald Pixell Bonsor, North Atlantic Seaway; An Illustrated History of the Passenger Services Linking the Old World with the New (2nd ed.; Jersey, Channel Islands: Brookside Publications), vol. 2 (1978), p. 545. Pictured in Michael J. Anuta, Ships of Our Ancestors (Menominee, MI: Ships of Our Ancestors, 1983), p. 6, courtesy of the Peabody Essex Museum, East India Square, Salem, MA 01970. For additional information on the AMERICA, including pictures, see the following: 1. Arnold Kludas, Die Seeschiffe des Norddeutschen Lloyd, Bd. 1: 1857 bis 1919 (Herford: Koehler, c1991). 2. Edwin Drechsel, Norddeutscher Lloyd Bremen, 1857-1970; History, Fleet, Ship Mails (2 vols.; Vancouver: Cordillera Pub. Co., c1994-c1995). [Posted to the Emigration-Ships Mailing List by Michael Palmer - 19 November 1997]
It appears that Anna left her young son Anthony, called Tony, with her parents, as Tony did not arrive in the US until about 1895. As a young woman in Detroit, she worked at the Book Cadillac Hotel as a maid and a cook.
She met and married Jacob Ewald in Detroit in 1894 and had her first child with him, Constance, the following year. Tony came to America the same year and apparently lived with Anna and Jacob and their growing family. She appears in the 1900 census living with her husband and 4 children (Constance, Lillian, John and Tony) at 782 Hastings St., Detroit. She reported that she'd been married 6 years and had 4 children, all of whom were still living at the time of the census. She reported her birthplace as Poland/Russia, born of Polish/German parents.
According to her death certificate, Anna died of uremia, complicated by premature labor and birth at Alexandrine St., Detroit; the house number is fairly illegible, but may read "372." The child died within 2 weeks, a boy, and is buried with her at Mt. Olivet Cemetery, section 6, tier 8, grave 936. She was buried 1 Aug. 1908. On 21 June 1995, Marion Ritter Houlihan, Barbara Ritter and the writer, Mary Beth Houlihan Wheeler, visited Mt. Olivet Cemetery and, with considerable difficulty, located Anna's tombstone. Section 6 of the cemetery has had it's headstones all made level with the ground and, as a result, many have sunk and are covered with overgrown grass. However, we did find Anna's inscribed as follows:
Hier ruht in Gott (Here rests in God) Anna Ewald geb. 17 June 1873 (born) gest. 29 July 1908 (died)
During a revisit in June, 1996, Marion, Barbara and Mary Beth cleared off the grass growing over the headstone which is horizontal, placed in the ground, and discovered remains of gold paint in some of the incised letters and numbers. Marion recalled that her grandfather, Jacob Ewald used to visit the grave, walking from his daughter's home at 8166 Wisner St., clean the stone and put gold paint into the inscription.
