My 2nd. Great Maternal Luxembourger Grandmother, Mary "May" (Haupert) Palen, wife of Dominique Leopold Palen.
Daughter of Frank Haupert (mother's name unknown) of Luxembourg. Mary emigrated in 1854 from Luxembourg with her father, Frank Haupert. Since the emigration papers did not show her mother, I supposed that her mother probably died in Luxembourg.
Thanks to Leonard Greenwood, I now have a photo of Leopold & Mary (Haupert) Palen's headstone. Thanks so much, Leonard.
"Today (August 21, 2012), my Mom, Virginia Besse (Palen) Long, became the longest-living Palen in the family tree. She surpassed May "Mary" (Haupert) Palen by one day today. My Mom actually knew May, her Great Grandmother. May used to have Mom sit at her feet and tell her stories about riding a covered wagon all the way to Caledonia, Minnesota. She also told her how the Indians sometimes would ride into town and scare the women. May, who was quite brave, helped care for the squaws and their babies. Its remarkable that Mom knew someone who was born in 1845! Mom's memory is very short these days, but she's outstanding when she reminisces about things that happened in her childhood!" source: Mark Richard Long (my cousin)
