Notes for HENRY "HENRICUS" THIELS:

[MATHEWS a biggest Oct 10, 03 DotV HP6100 Winegaert Vanderlick DeK Vandersy2 Max Ben.FTW]

[Thiels from Rik Oct 1 '02.FTW]

In 1883, he and his family departed Antwerp enroute to Bordeaux, France and on to the port of New Orleans, USA arriving there on September 10, 1883. On the ship manifest there is listed those persons other than his immediate family that accompanied them to the New World; from Reunion of Jeff and Theresa Thiels Family

September 10, 1883, the French liner USS Marsielles sailed from the Port of Antwerp, Belgium. Aboard this ship was Henricus and Mary Thiels and their five children. The ship docked at the Port of New Orleans in mid-December. Henry and Mary walked off the ship with their children, including their small son, Jeff, planted their feet firmly on American soil, and called it home. Little did anyone realize at that time, that this small boy would someday be the father of a family, that would span the earth.

Jeff married Theresa Verzwyvelt, daughter of Amandus and Josephine. The marriage was performed by Father Girards in St. Francis Xavier Cathedral on January 17, 1906.

The young couple made their home with Henry and Mary on Bayou Rapides, near what is now the VFW Home. The family farmed together until 1926, when Jeff took his family and moved to another farm located where England Air Force Base (England International Airport) is today.

The Thiels family had their reunion on March 17, 1984, at Harold Miles Park. One hundred seven people attended. Seven of the brothers and sisters attended with each of their families. Mass was held with Father Camella from St. Martin at Lecompte.

Memories of the Family Life of

Jeff Thiels and Theresa Verzwyvelt and their 10 children

Jeff and Theresa were married in the St. Francis Cathedral on January 17, 1906.

They made their first home with his parents, Henry and Mary Thiels, on Bayou Rapides, near what is now the VFW Home. Jeff farmed with his father until 1926, when he took his family and moved to a farm located where England Air Force Base is today.

The farm was owned by Dr. Marvin Cappel and we rented it for a Forth of the crop. Papa and the boys did all the plowin with mules. Mama and the girls did the hoeing and all other chores. All the farming was done with mule teams until 1936 when they bought a John Deere Tractor. Rick and Pauline married on Jan 8, 1930. They lived next door and farmed with Papa.

The family went into the Dairy Business in 1937 and it was a big job. It made no difference how late we stayed at a dance on Friday or Saturday night, we still had to be in the barn milking at 4 a.m. Mike always told that we would wake up when one of the cows slapped us in the face with her tail full of cockle burrs.

We only stayed in the Dairy Business a few years. Papa died in 1938 when he was 57 years old. Mama and the rest of the family moved to the Hudson Plantation on Belgard Bend Road. By this time Rick, Mike, Sis, Deany and Gertie were married. Peck, Joe, Martin, Jim and Mae still lived and farmed with Mama. In later years all the other children married. Jim and Betty lived with Mama and farmed.

Then Mama built a home on Sis and Harrison's place on Belgard Bend. Mama loved working in her vegetable and flower gardens, which were always beautiful. She loved fishing and she would always take a folding chair and go to Bayou Rapides and catch a few small brem to feed her cats. Mama had many happy years after she retired. She lived to be 87 years old.

I also found out that Henricus Thiels, father of Joseph, immigrated to America with the ship "Marceille" from Antwerp via Bordeaux in France to New Orleans with his wife Anne Mary Brems and his five children. This was published in the Gazette van Detroit on 24.4.1983.

Henry Thiels and Anna Maria Brems THIELS "lived in the house of his father, Francisus, for approximately 6 years, where the first four of his children were born..." "The last two children were born in their new residence, 1879...his mother, Anna, resided with him until her death. Also living with Henricus weas a niece, Maria Bernardina Brems and a loborer, Joannes Vanderwouier, who was born March 18, 1841."

"By 1883 both of Henricus' parents were deceased. His only brother, Augustinus, was married and had started to raise a family; they talked and it was decided that Henricus would take his family to the new world and his brother would follow later.

"In 1883, Henricus and his family departed Antwerp enroute to Bordeauz, France and on to the Port of New Orleans, arriving there on September 10, 1883 abord the S. S. Marseille. On the ship manifest there is listed those persons other than his immediate family that accompanied them to the new world: Bernadine Brems - age 1 1/2 yrs, Francinia Brems - age 10 1/2 yrs., Colida Brems - age 6 and John Baptiste VandeWaver - age 42.

Upon arrival in the port of New Orleans, Henricus and family made their way, it is believed, by covered wagon to Many, Louisiana where they met and spent several years with the Belgium family of John P. and Ora Lee Ouaeyhaegen, who had arrived in America some twenty or thirty years earlier. John died in 1910 and his wife, who was fifteen years his junior, lived until 1943. She is recognized by the author of the "History of Sabine Parish" by Mr. John Groves Belisle, in his book of 1912, as a principle farm owner. Mr. James F. Ouaeyhaeghen, a grandson, now lives in Many on the old home place. On January 19, 1884, Henriucs contracted to purchase 240 acres of land for $800. from Monroe F. Blevins. Bernandine, Henricus's daughter, married Alphonse Petrus December 29, 1896 in Many. Father J. A. Augree, the first resident priest of Many, presided over the wedding. A witness to this wedding was J. A. Robrecht.

After selling his land, Henricus and family moved to Alexandria. This decision was probably made some time prior to the land sale because on August 8, 1898, Henticus, Alplhonse Petrus and J. A. Robrecht had joined together to purchase land in Rapides Parish along Bayou Rapides, eighty-four acres known as the "Old Race Track" for $5,000. Possession of property was to take place January 1, 1899. This land was divided April 30, 1904 - Henricus' share came to 35 acres. J.A. Robrechet sold 7.74 acres from his share to August Thiels on the same day of partition dividing. On June 15, 1907, August sold his land to Henry (7.74 acres) which brought his total acreage to 42.74 acres.

In 1900 Henricus moved his family by covered wagon to Alexandria. Along the way, they stopped for the night and made a lean-to of pine sapplings and brush. The next morning ice sickles a foot long draped from the lean-to. When they settled on their land in Alexandria, Henricus established his home in the front portion of the old race track barn. J.A. Robrechet, a partner in the land holdings, then married Rose Petrus, sister of Alphonse Robrechet, who was the 3rd partner in their land venture. (The Robrechet family later moved to California where J.A. was killed during W W I.). The center portion of the old race track barn was then torn down and a home was built for J. A. on his portion of the land which now lies along England Drive. The rear portion of the barn was then enclosed and used as Henricus' barn for farm animals.

On January 6, 1902 Henricus put up $200. bond as security for the marriage license between John Shall, his son, and Louisa Fillette. On January 6, 1903 they married. On January 2, 1913, John purchased 22.65 acres of land which they occupied the old home place until it was sold to Johnny Verzwyvelt, father of Major Lynn Verzwyvelt. This home is where Louise, Lawrence, Robert, Jerome and Lucille Thiels were born.

Shortly after Jeff Thiels was married, a new home was built for Henricus and Mary (later to be occupied by Jerome Thiels). This home was initially located in the approximate location of the present day "L & L Tractor Co". Henricus's wife, Mary, died December 26, 1921. In about 1925, Jeff Thiels and family who had occupied the original home of Henricus [Thiels from Dan & Ben 2-23-03.FTW]

Flynn - Thiels Wedding Announced

Of interest to many friends is the announcement of the wedding of Miss Anna Thiels , second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Thiels, and Mr. Clarence Flynn. The marriage was solemnized Tuesday, January 8, 1929, at St. Francis Xavier Cathedral, at a Nuptial Mass at 6:30 AM, the Rev. A. Olinger being the celebrant.

The bride, who was unattended, was very lovely in a blue flat crepe dress, with

hat and accessories to match. She is known to have beauty and other charms which have won for her a host of friends. She is a graduate of St. Francis Xavier Parochial school, having finished there in 1924.

Mr. Flynn is a young man of sterling character.

A lovely dinner was served to twenty-five guests, all the immediate relatives of the bride and groom, immediately after the ceremony. Many beautiful presents were received from friends who came throughout the day.

A large dance was given that night at the home of the brides parents. The orchestral music was excellent and was enjoyed by at least three hundred people. Delicious refreshments of cake and punch were served.

Mr. and Mrs. Flynn are established on Jackson extension.[Thiels all Flynn Fillette DANIEL Mathews Vanlangendonck Marien 12-21-01.FTW]

Ben:

Don't know how far you've gotten with your Thiels genealogy but Robert Henry Thiels died on Aug. 31, 2001 in Alexandria. I have the orbituary from the Alexandria Daily Town Talk. He was 84 and was involved in an automobile accident and suffered massive head injuries. He will be buried in Alexandria Memorial Gardens today. He was preceded in death by his wife, Lottie Mae Beaubouef Thiels. He had 4 sons: Charles Aubrey; Darrell P.; Ralph Eugene; Harvey Ray; and 1 daughter--Janel Gaines. 2 sisters: Lucille Thiels Dunn and Louise Thiels Michiels. He was a truck driver for 30 years and a farmer. He was also a member of the Belgium-American Club (didn't know there was one)....I hope this information can somehow tie in with what you are researching. Happy Labor Day, Linda B.
