54 By Judith Hoyne Pelz

Dennis is outgoing, friendly, inquisitive, and if you ever need to know how to do something, ask Dennis. These traits were evident from the beginning, influenced perhaps by his uncle and Godparent, Ron Pelz, an excellent role model.

I remember our camping vacations. By the end of our camping stay Dennis knew a lot about most of the people in the camp ground and everyone knew Dennis. As soon as he helped pitch the tent and set up camp, Dennis was off making friends with the other campers. He always came back with a boy his age to play with or someone to fish with the next morning. Age didn't matter and frequently his new-found fishing buddies were men old enough to be his grandfather.

Dennis has always had a talent for fixing and building things. He is a perfectionist and when he sets his sights on a plan, he works hard until he is satisfied that his project meets his high standards of perfection, traits he inherited from his father. Even today when people have electrical, plumbing, automobile, lawn mower, or computer problems, who do they call first? Dennis, of course.

Thank goodness he out grew his early ambition to be a garbage man.

He played Little League baseball and he was a quarterback on both his grammar school and high school football teams although I think his favorite sport was playing Fort Apache . He also played "War" using a garbage can lid for his shield. Unfortunately during one game he was designated as "dead", fell on his garbage-can-lid-shield and ended up with his "war" scar: a silver cap to protect what was left of his front baby tooth.

Dennis is fortunate to have found a great girl to be his wife and the mother of their two wonderful sons, Bradley and Benjamin .

Asa Gunn was a gentle man whose character personified the word "Christian" although most of his life he was not a church member and when he was over 60 years old he joined Christ Methodist Church in Elmhurst, Illinois. His daughter, Nadine Gunn Fisher often said: "If he doesn't get into heaven just because he didn't belong to a church, then I'm not going either."

When Ace came in from the garage after work he always whistled "something", a habit probably acquired because he was alone so much in his work.
Asa William Gunn was a caterer. He prepared sandwiches, soups, and desserts in his store front shop in the building he owned at 6204 Roosevelt Road in Oak Park, then drove his panel truck to several factories where he served lunch to the day shift and later sandwiches and snacks for the night shift. Grandpa Gunn did all the cooking and had one helper. Because of his self sufficiency, he provided well for his family, his wife Lois and two children, Nadine and Bill.

He liked to cook even when he wasn't working and often prepared Sunday dinner. Nadine remembers "taking care" of him in the summer when her mother was at the cottage on Channel Lake in Antioch, Illinois. "One time I cooked a chicken for him but I didn't get it in the oven soon enough and when my Dad came home, it wasn't done so he took this gorgeous chicken and chopped it into small pieces so it would cook faster. He was right of course, but I was a little let down because I wanted to do the whole thing myself."

Asa Gunn loved his grandchildren. He and Grandma Gunn often took care of the kids on week ends, usually at their house on 831 Taylor Avenue in Oak Park, Illinois. Grandpa made pop corn and Grandma made fudge. All the Fisher kids have fond memories of these fun times, except Katie because Grandpa Gunn died when she was only 18 months old.

He was tolerant especially concerning his children even when he didn't understand some of the things they did. For instance when his son Bill attended the Institute of Design, he painted abstract pictures as part of his study. His father looked at the strange shapes and colors, and shook his head as he wondered about the value of this bewildering art form but supported his son's efforts through graduation because he loved Bill and had confidence in him.

Asa William Gunn suffered a fatal heart attack in his kitchen on Taylor Avenue and died at the age of 68 on February 12, 1963. Even the mail man came to the funeral of this man who was loved and respected by all who knew him.

Lois Eunice Larsen Gunn was the youngest of four children of Charles and Hannah Bertena Olsen Larsen. She was born in 1904 and was ten years younger than Asa when they married on October 4, 1924.

My mother had an enthusiastic zest for life. She was a loving mother who enjoyed her children and shared her husband's enthusiasm and love for their grandchildren.

She enjoyed skating, swimming, partying, or just talking. Because she was so outgoing, everyone loved her.

I often came home to find strangers living in our basement because Lois frequently brought homeless people to the house on Taylor Avenue. During the depression years there was the Mastrud family who were down on their luck and then years later, the Plummers, a couple who were evicted from their home. Mrs. Plummer was an Ouija Board reader but she used a stick instead of the traditional pointer. One day she sent me to the back yard to find one and with that stick moving on the Ouija board, she told me I would have four boys. I was so convinced of her powers that I didn't believe the doctor when he told me at her birth that Jan was a girl.

Lois Gunn was a very hard worker. When she graduated from the eighth grade she worked for Jean Stanford, a successful beautician in Oak Park. Mrs. Stanford taught her everything there was to know from manicuring to permanent waves. Mom practiced on me and my brother Bill and my hair always looked fancy in my Shirley Temple hairdos. One time she even gave Bill a permanent.

She realized her dream of owning her own beauty parlor when she opened Lois' Beauty Shop on Chicago Avenue near Marion Street in Oak Park.

Lois Gunn loved to talk but her speech was taken away from her due to a stroke when she was only 57 years old. She lived for 14 years only able to speak a few words and phrases.

When Asa Gunn died suddenly, Lois lived with her daughter and family in Elmhurst. It was sad to see this "Mrs. Independence", this spunky lady unable to drive a car or live alone- She loved to drive and one day she and Nadine went to a local Ford dealership. Lois got behind the wheel of a new car and pretended she was driving knowing that she probably would never be able to regain that skill.

She wanted to do her share even with her handicaps suffered from the stroke. So she would either take us all out to dinner once a week or cook for us in her little apartment in the house on Euclid Avenue, In later years she bought steak or chicken at least once a week that her son-in-law broiled on the outside grill.

The kids in the neighborhood liked her too because she often took them and the Fisher kids to Mario's for pizza.

Grandma lived with us for thirteen years. This was a good experience for our children because they were able to return the love that Grandma and Grandpa Gunn had shown them all their lives. They were kind and solicitous of her and even though she was able only to speak a few words, they all understood her. Katie especially seemed to know instinctively what Grandma wanted when no one else understood. This ability to communicate was ironic since Katie had never heard Lois speak normally because she was only three months old when Lois had a stroke.

Lois Gunn died in a nursing home on October 17, 1977. Ironically, James Matthew Nelson was born on October 19, the day of her funeral. As Homer said in 700 B.C ”one generation springs forth and another ceases”.

72 Fond Memories By Shirley Klaus Lardizabal

Francisco J. Lardizabal was born in Tagudin, a small province of Illocos Norte in the Philippine islands. There were three children in the family: Feleciano, an older brother, and his older sister Juanita.

Francisco went to medical school at Santo Thomas University in Manila and after graduation he moved to Hawaii where he became the first Filipino to obtain a medical license.

When he came to Chicago he was unable to find a job at any hospital even though he had a medical license. Filipinos were "different" at least in the mind of the white power structure and therefore not wanted. Because he could not find work in his chosen profession Frank worked as a servant for two or three years and finally got a break when he was hired as an intern at Mother Cabrini Hospital. It was there that he met Doctor Eugene Chesrow, Superintendant of the Oak Forest Infirmary.

I met Frank at a house party when he was married to Dolores who died of cancer a year later. Then we met again and we were married on October 22, 1953. He was such a fascinating man and even though our marriage might be described as somewhat turbulent I loved him dearly.

Francisco Lardizabal had always wanted a son but instead he had 10 daughters; two in his homeland of the Philippines, four by Dolores, and our four daughters.

He was an excellent doctor and after his discharge from the army as a Major in the Medical Corps, he worked at the West Side Veteran's Administration Hospital and at one point in his career he was appointed as the Surgeon General of the Illinois AMVETS for the state of Illinois and he served that position from 1959 until his death in 1965.

He was a fascinating man and among his friends were Adlai Stevenson, the Governor of Illinois, Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley, bookies and bums who were down and out on their luck. He had friends from all over the world and it didn't matter to him whether they were rich, famous, infamous, or poor. He just loved people.

And he was so spontaneous and informal. He would often come home and casually say, "Oh, by the way I invited fifty people for a picnic in the back yard this evening." I never knew who was coming, what they were bringing, or what we were going to cook.

He was so smart and calm in an emergency. For instance, he was eating fish one time and a bone lodged in his throat. He pointed to his throat and wrote on a pad of paper: "Fish bone stuck in throat." Then he pointed to this big surgical-looking instrument that looked like a big tweezer. I quickly sterilized it and looked in there with a flash light. "Don't touch the sides," he wrote. I reached in with the big tweezers and pulled out the bone. He said, "Good. You know if you had touched the sides of my throat, I could have bled and choked to death." (He called the sides some medical name which I forget). The next day he took that bone to his office, put it on the bulletin board and wrote: "My wife removed this from my throat."
He was also the assistant to Doctor Chesrow who was the personal physician to Tony Accardo and Sam Giancana. As a matter of fact, Doctor Frank Lardizabal once operated on Tony Accardo.

Frank was a staunch Democrat but General Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican was my hero. So the first time I voted, Frank asked, "Did you vote for the right man?" I said, "You bet. General Eisenhower." So then he lectured me for hours about the virtues of the Democratic party.

Frank died suddenly of a heart attack on May 1, 1965. And his funeral was something to remember; it was with full military honors and a 21 gun salute. It was so moving. Hundreds of people came plus all the telegrams including one from Adlai Stevenson and Mayor Daley.

Here's an example of the kind of people who knew and loved Dr. Francisco Lardizabal. I was standing in the funeral home and a man came up to me, and said, "Mrs. Lardizabal, I give you this." And he hands me three hundred dollars. I said, "Why?" And he said, "Doc gave me some money to bet on the Derby (Kentucky Derby) but he said, 'Don't place the bet until I call you on Saturday morning'". Well he never called because he died on Saturday morning and that wonderful, honest bookie came to his funeral to be sure I got the three hundred dollars back.

From a 21 gun salute to an honest bookie.

That was Frank. What a guy!

73 Frank Meister, Senior is described by his granddaughter, Barbara as a hard talking man with a soft heart.

Although he stopped going to church in later life, he could chant the mass as well as any priest even with the ever present cigar in his mouth.
He worked at golf courses most of his life, one of which was the South Shore Country Club in Chicago where he was the Caddy Master.

Grandpa Meister enjoyed telling bedtime stories to his grandchildren, Barbara and Bill. They would curl up on his ample lap nestled against his large stomach as Frank told bone chilling ghost stories and other bed time thrillers. When the children were drowsy and went to their bed room, he reminded them to be careful and look under the bed for monsters with blood shot eyes.

A hunter and fisherman, Frank loved dogs and often brought home strays convinced that each one was the perfect hunting dog.

Grandpa Meister liked being with his friends and was known to occasionally enjoy a beverage or two with the boys at the local tavern. Sometimes he came home in the early morning hours and turned on his electric exercise machine. It was the kind with a canvas belt that went around the waist, then vibrated vigorously. No one knew whether it reduced weight but the family was sure an earthquake had struck when Grandpa Meister turned on his exercise machine at two o'clock in the morning.

Frank Meister, Senior died in 1954 at the age of 76.

Henry Culpepper of Lower Norfolk County, Virginia. Source on his profile (online family tree says:
"Henry may have been the son of John Culpeper the Merchant, who was the son of John Culpeper of Astwood in Feckenham and Ursula Woodcock, but this is far from being proven. While there is some evidence to suggest that the name of Henry's father was John, it has not been possible to prove that this John was the one just mentioned. But he seems to be a good candidate, since he was the right age to have been Henry's father, was known to have been abroad from England, and belonged to a family with other connections in Virginia."

Family: Captain John CULPEPPER, III / Mary WATERS (F224)
 
76 From The Mayflower Society (*Damaris Hopkins Cooke mentioned here):
Stephen Hopkins was one of the most adventurous of the passengers aboard the Mayflower. He traveled with his second wife, Elizabeth (Fisher) Hopkins, and children Constanta, Giles and Damaris. Elizabeth was pregnant during the voyage and gave birth to a son Oceanus while at sea. Two indentured servants accompanied the family, Edward Doty and Edward Leister.

Stephen was baptized at All Saints Church, at Upper Clatford, Hampshire, England, on the last of April, 1581, the son of John and Elizabeth (Williams) Hopkins. He died at Plymouth, between 6 June and 17 July 1644. Stephen married 1) before 13 May 1604, Mary Kent; he married 2) at St. Mary Matfellon, Whitechapel, Middlesex, 19 February 1617/18, Elizabeth Fisher.

This was not Stephen’s first voyage to the New World. In 1609 he signed on as a minister’s clerk, aboard the Sea Venture at Plymouth, England, the flagship of a fleet of seven headed to Jamestown, along with Jamestown’s Governor Sir Thomas Gates and the Rev. Richard Buck. Stephen left his wife Mary and three children behind and would be gone seven years. After a hurricane which sent their damaged ship to Bermuda, they spent many months repairing it so they could continue to Jamestown. During this time, Stephen argued that the Governor had no authority over them while they were on land. He was found guilty of “Mutinie and Rebellion” and sentenced to death. He was so penitent, asking the court to consider the plight of his wife and children, that he was pardoned. The group eventually made their way to Jamestown and spent the next few years rebuilding the colony. When Stephen returned to England by 1616, he learned that his first wife had died.

Stephen Hopkins was a signer of the Mayflower Compact, signed at Provincetown, 11 November 1620. In the 1623 land division, he received six acres. The cattle division of 1627 lists he and his wife Elizabeth, with children Gyles, Caleb, Deborah, and daughter Constance and her husband Nicholas Snow.

Stephen’s experiences in Jamestown made him valuable to the Plymouth settlement. He helped determine a suitable place to settle, and his dealings with the Native Americans were especially helpful. When Samoset and Squanto began their visits to Plymouth in 1621, they were housed in Stephen Hopkins’ home. It was also Hopkins who was chosen by Governor Carver to go with Edward Winslow and first approach Massasoit.

Stephen went on to serve as an Assistant of the Governor for many years, however he sometimes found himself on the other side of the law. In 1636, in his office as Assistant, he was fined £5.40s for breaking the King’s peace in dangerously wounding John Tisdale. At least three times he was fined for allowing men to drink excessively at his house, and several times fined for charging excessive prices for liquor and goods.

Children of Stephen and Mary (Kent) Hopkins:
Elizabeth Hopkins, baptized at Hursley, 13 May 1604; died after 1613.
Constance Hopkins, baptized at Hursley, May 11, 1606; died at Eastham, mid-October, 1677; married at Plymouth, circa 1626, Nicholas Snow and they had 12 children: Mark, Mary, Sarah, Joseph, Stephen, John, Elizabeth, Jabez and Ruth Snow, as well as three children whose names are not known. The possibility that one of the three unknowns may be the wife of Daniel Doane has not yet been proven.
Giles Hopkins, baptized at Hursley, 30 January. 1607/08; died at Eastham, between 5 March 1688/89 and 16 April 1690; married at Plymouth, 9 October 1639, Katherine Whelden and had ten children: Mary, Stephen, John, Abigail, Deborah, Caleb, Ruth, Joshua, William and Elizabeth Hopkins.

The genealogy of Francis Cooke and other families : together with a list of the Mayflower passenger
--written by Joseph Herman Simpson, (son of Matilda Hubbard Cook and Jabez Simpson). relative he mentions writing to for information (so far ):
Zoe Melissa Brown; Mary Jane Brown (5 September 1834 ? 19 December 1914 ? KH16-JB3) --She sent him as much as she could about her grandmother Brown's descendants, as well as a vast amount of far back Cook records. as well as much other cook and Brown records; George Dennison Hale, who shared much of his extensive research.

The editor's note at the beginning says the information the 1st 4 generations is less reliable, but it is a treasure trove of information regarding people who were his contemporaries. the author researched and wrote from the years of about 1889-1910.
