| Private Peter Henry Tschudi |
There is a very detailed story about his time in the Army posted on the Bataan Project website. I encourage you to read his story. He went through absolute hell during his time as a prisoner and he was a true hero. We should all be proud of him!
Millie and Grover were married in August 1941.
After they married, Grover moved in with Millie, into her father's house at 1308 Rufer Avenue. Her father, Peter C. Tschudi, had owned this house since about 1937. He worked at the Stimpson Computing Scale Co since moving to Louisville from Detroit.
In my post Why Did Grover & Millicent Go to St. Louis to Marry?, I suggested that maybe they traveled to St. Louis because their families disapproved of the marriage. Since then I've come across some more information that may shed some light on the situation.
This blogging this is new to me and I am not into today's social media sharing thing.
I have not posted anything in weeks. That is not because I have not been busy researching and learning about our family's history. It is because I have been trying to put what I have found into a neat package with some kind of conclusions. That is the way that I had to do things in the business world, that is the way I am used to presenting my research to others.
But this is not business, and it is supposed to be fun!
So I need to share what I find more quickly, which may mean things maybe incomplete or messy. But maybe that will be alright. We'll try it and see what happens.
