Ida A Bendele

Notes:

There are 2 Louis Bendeles in the 1880 Census, one 9 and one 10. The census was taken in July, so this Joseph would have been 9 at the time since his birthday is not until Aug as proven by other sources.

Name:
Bendele is often mis-transcribed as Bendell

Louis married Ida Stein on 22 Jan 1896 in St Louis Catholic Church, Castroville, Medina, TX, USA. Ida (daughter of Charles Stein and Catherina Kempf) was born on 18 Nov 1878 in TX, USA; died on 21 Jun 1941; was buried in Saint Louis Catholic Cemetery, Castroville, Medina, TX, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Ida grew up next door to the Bendele family. In the 1880 Census of Medina County, the Stein family was only 2 dwellings away from the Bendele family (and thus future husband Louis). In 1880 Ida was one year old and Louis Bendele was 10. They did not marry until 1898 when Ida was was 20.

Other Events:

• Immigration: 1 Apr 1852, TX, USA
• Naturalization: 21 May 1860

Notes:

Margaret Simpson has already done quite a bit of work on the Bendeles and the the Alsacian families of early Medina county. I used the pages as reference to verify my work and conclusions.

Also found was that of Diann Tooley:
Joseph Bendele: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=drtooley&id=I03358

An early assumption from the other pages I found was that Joseph was the son of Jean-Jacques Bendele, though I have no proof at this time!

Joseph married Maria Brauch on 10 Aug 1852 in St Louis Catholic Church, Castroville, Medina, TX, USA. Maria (daughter of Nicholas Brauch and Susanah Boss) was born on 25 Jun 1836 in Ellingen, Prussia, Germany; died on 16 Feb 1928 in Castroville, Medina, TX, USA; was buried in Saint Louis Catholic Cemetery, Castroville, Medina, TX, USA.

Notes:

Buried:
Plot: 1-1100

Notes:

1880 Census - Joseph and family show up in 2 different locations. Both family units contain parts of the entire family. It looks like there was a primary home in town and a separate farm outside of town (similar to how D'Hanis worked and was originally founded -- another Castro colony).

Married:
From Margaret Simpson:

"I did find some information in the History of Medina County book on page 177 (Bendele family). It just lists Joseph Bendele's marriage to Maria Brauch with her birth and death dates as 1836 and 1928. The only other thing it says was that she was born in Ellingen, Prussia."

Notes:

b. 1845 Texas/Belguim/Alsace

There are conflicting records for his birth location.

Charles married Catherina Kempf on 10 Jan 1871 in St Louis Catholic Church, Castroville, Medina, TX, USA. Catherina (daughter of Joseph Kempf and Theresia Wolff) was born on 4 Jan 1850 in Medina, TX, USA; died on 7 Dec 1925 in Medina, TX, USA; was buried in Saint Louis Catholic Cemetery, Castroville, Medina, TX, USA.

Jean Jacques BENDELE Sr and Catherine BURGER; Galveston, Galveston County, Texas; departing Antwerp Oct 1846 on the "Duc deBrabant."

Name:
Benderle? Several records in Medina county point to Jacob Benderle (jr and sr), but no other records show Benderle's immigrating or in census records. I suspect that this is a mis-transcribing of the handwritten deeds or mis-understanding of the accent of our Bendeles.

Name:
Margaret Simpson indicated that some listings from the St Louis Church records had the Brauch surname listed as 'Braeueh' assuming that the old handwriting was difficult to translate.

Buried:
Cannot find any Brauch or derivation buried in the St. Louis Catholic Cemetery in Castroville (on Medina County's RootsWeb).

From Margaret Simpson:

"The burials come from the St Louis Church records. Some are listed under the spelling of Brauch and some as Braeueh. I'm assuming that was caused by the difficulty of reading the old handwriting. The cemetery records are from a walk through of the cemetery, recording tombstones. There were many burials that never had stones or had them but they've since rotted or crumbled so this is not unusual."

There is a record in Medina County's RootsWeb Marriages that shows a Mary Magdalena Stein marrying Joseph Beck. After some research (Ancestry.com Texas marriages and the 1880 Census of Medina County), this is Linna Stein b. 1849 from the other Stein family that pops up in the 1860 Bexar county census headed by mother Mary from Nassau (Mabel 8, Kate 6, Mary 15).

I cannot find this Mary after the 1850 census. In the family's 1860 census, she is not there. So I am presuming that she passed away in between 1850 and 1860.

The headstone of a Magdalena Stein in the St. Louis Cemetery in Medina County indicates this lady died in 1881. I still have no proof that she lived past 1860.

Notes:

JFM TODO: Determine the background of Groce/Gross. Pierre/Peter is listed as Groce in the 1850 census of Medina County Texas.
