Albin/Albert Epp

gibson_ca — 20 Mar 2005 6:23:21 GMT

I am looking for information pertaining to ALbert Epp.

He was born June 10, 1879 in Silenen, Switzerland.

First arrived in America aboard the 'La Savoie' which departed from Le Harvre, France on February 21, 1903 and arrived Ellis Island in NY on March 1, 1903.
He listed his destination as San Francisco to visit a relative at 431 Fine Street, which was listed as a hotel. He had $30. and traveled with a male passenger, aged 21, named Bartolemens Epp. His Swiss residence was listed as : Silenen.

On July 31, 1909 he arrived to Ellis Island again aboard the same ship. Again with $30. in his pocket. He's going to visit his mother at: 1434 Mission St., San Francisco. He's 5'3", black hair, grey eyes. He travelled with two males from Bristen, probably a brother Melchoir age 22, and a cousin Johann age 22.

Frances Yauch also travelled on this ship. Two days after arrival in NY they were married in NY August 2nd, 1909. Roman Catholic ceremony.

Went to Seattle?

1920 census lived in Elliot, CA as a farm laborer.

Had a brother who settled in Galt, CA.
?Was survived by a sister in Switzerland. Named Anna?

Buried in Switzerland. Aunt Jo has a picture of the tombstone.

Any information on what became of him between 1920 and his death would be greatly appreciated.

(I found and ALbert Epp in CA in the 1930 census listed as married to someone else with two children. SInce it is an uncommon name, I wonder if this could be the same man.)

Any information please send to: gibson-ca@prodigy.net
