Constantinos N. Jeremias(son of Nicoloas & Marie Papadaki Jeremias) came to the US in 1912 at the age of 16 from his home in Sitia Crete Greece. He met and married Ruth May Mather on July 14, 1917. He was the owner of the Busy Bee Cafe in Washington, GA for over 19 years. He and his family then moved to Thomson, GA where he open another cafe. He had two other cafe's in Jacksonville, FL prior to his death. He served in WWI as a Pvt 152 Depot Brigade as a cook. Although he wanted to be sent overseas during the war, he was such a good cook that the Generals made sure he was never shipped overseas. He spent most of his military career at Fort Upton in NY. He was one of the kindest men I ever knew and would give to anyone who he felt was in need. Many times during the Depression he fed the people of Washington, GA with food from the cafe and he never turned a person away from the cafe who was unable to pay. Washington, GA has much to be proud of in their adopted son of Charlie Jeremias. Subm. by Donna J. Brummett, granddaughter
Ships manifest for the SS Themistokles shows a passenger names Constantinos Jeremias as Turkish having boarded the ship Piraeus on 12/15/1913 at the age of 17. He gave is father's name as Nicoloas. His destination was Springfield, Mass. Although, the nationality is wrong,(and may have been given wrong on purpose) I'm sure this is Grandpa Jerry.
