General Notes

Maurice was baptized September 13, 1914 at Sacred Heart Church. The
priest was Philip Rittmeier, OFM. The sponsors were Henry Seegers and
Anna Wessie.
Maurice married Crystal McIntire on February 17, 1936. He had known
Crystal for several years, even as a sixteen-year-old at Tech High School.
At that time, Maurice took a job with Taystee Bread Bakery in
Indianapolis as a salesman. He stayed at this position until 1941 and
then the grocery store was purchased. It was his first venture.
Maurice and Crystal were fairly successful, but then the war took over
and meats, sugar, coffee and many things were hard to come by.
They stayed at the store until early 1952 and then sold out. In the
meantime, Maurice had bought property in the south suburban area and
gotten interested in building houses. He stayed at the building business
from 1954 to 1964.
At that time, Maurice started in cultured marble making cabinet and
vanity tops for the building trade. He spent 11 years at the trade and
sold out in 1975.
After retiring, Maurice was home about 2 weeks when Crystal died August
17, 1975.
