[descdk.FTW]

The name Fremouw used to be spelled differently; it is French in origin.
Other spellings of the Fremouw name include Fremon or Fremoux, Fremont, or Frenau.

Grandma told me this story. I assumed it was about Cornelius but it might have been a combined story of his father or grandfather.

"He was a handome, young man who wanted to avoid the conscription into the army. So he left his warm, sunny home in France (southern?) and travelled north. He stopped when he got to Holland. One day he met a pretty girl out on an errand in town. They fell in love right away. But he was to discover that her family was planning to move everyone to America to join other family and friends in Hollands Cove. So he decided to come along with them. They married soon after arriving and were very happy, although poor. She had 8 babies. They lived in the Dutch community where the women all raised their kids together. He tragically died in an accident while she was pregnant. She never stopped loving him."

  Notes for Minerva Fremouw:
[descdk.FTW]

Uncle Will of farm in Holly. They resided there all their married lives.

I remember a model-T out back, a pump, the house had a front porch and needed paint. There was a big brass bed, front parlor, and an outhouse. It was a hot summer day where I spent most of the time sitting on porch steps with a large woman talking about cooking and her quilts. She was baking something on an old stove. It was like walking back in time.

Aunt Minnie? by records she was gone before I was born. So maybe not the woman with Uncle Will. Or maybe another Will? I remember an Aunt Minnie, too. But that must be someone else... And grandma talked of a Mina (long i sound). Maybe grandma's aunt???

FREMOUW-DANGREMOND
      At five o'clock on Wednesday, June 1, 1904, at the home of her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Garrit Dangremond, 135 Church St., Ida Joanna Christine Dangremond was married to John A. Fremouw in the presence of about fifty guests, Rev. Mr. Dangremond performing the ceremony. The pleasant, roomy parsonage was beautifully decorated with the flowers of the season the afternoon was a perfect one, and the wedding a delightfully pleasant affair. Many beautiful gifts were received. Promptly at five o'clock; as the wedding march was played by Miss Lulu Knight, the bride and groom appeared accompanied by Miss Cornelia Fremouw, the maid of honor, and Robert Dangremond, best man. The bride wore a dress of French lawn with an all-over-laceyoke and train. She carried white carnations. Miss Fremouw carried roses and lilies of the valley. Following the ceremony congratulations were showered on the bride and groom; then a bountiful supper was served. Mr. and Mrs. Fremouw took a ten o'clock train for the west, stopping in Chicago for a visit at the home of the bride's brother, E.H. Dangremond. They have now gone on to Menneapolis, to visit another brother, and to other western points, expecting to make a tour of four or five weeks through the west.
      The following were present from out of town: Mrs. Wilks of Rochester, Mrs. Washburn of Clifton, the Misses Lavina, Cornelia and Sarah Fremouw, of Rochester, all sisters of the groom; E.H. Dangremond of Chicago, brother of the bride; Miss Mattie Brasser of Williamson.
      Both bride and groom are well known young people. The bride, as the daughter of the pastor of the Reformed church, is very popular among a large circle of friends. She is a young woman of culture and womanly dignity, is a good musician and has a charming disposition. The groom grew up in Newark, coming to the Gazette office as an employee when a young lad, twelve years ago. He has been with this office ever since doing different grades of work, until he became the foreman a few years ago, having special charge of the press room. He has the confidence of his employers in every particular; and if a better boy, of more correct habits or principles, has ever grown up in Newark, we have yet to meet him. Those who know him best esteem him most. Certainly both the bride and groom have made wise choices; and both are worthy and deserving the riches pleasures and happiness that life can bestow. The editors make an especial pleasure in extending their most sincere congratulations.
      On their return Mr. and Mrs. Fremouw will reside in a part of the old Matteson house, corner of Palmyra and Mason streets, where very pleasant, modern apartments are being fitted up.

NEWARK UNION-GAZETTE, November 30, 1918, Mrs. John Fremouw:

Mrs. Fremouw had been having influenza, which developed into pneumonia. The family has been having quite a serious time, as three of the older children now have influenza, one of them particularly, Ethel, being seriously ill.
      Mrs. Fremouw as the daughter of Rev. Garrett Dangermond and spent her girlhood and received her education in this village. She was a very devoted wife and mother and the family has the sympathy of the community for their great sorrow and bereavement.
      Besides her husband, she is survived by six children: Arthur, Garrett, Ethel, Paul, Raymond and William; and by four brothers, Rev. Georgre Dangermond of Highfalls, N.Y., Rev. Arthur Dangermond of Beacon, N.Y., E.H. Dangermond of Chicago, and Robert W. Dangermond of Joliet, Ill., also by a sister, Mrs. H. Oostemeyer, of Chicago.

  Marriage Notes for Sara Fremouw and George Fuller:
[descdk.FTW]

For their 50th wedding anniversary there was a big formal dinner at the Sheraton Hotel downtown for a large number of family and friends. I remember how grown up I felt being allowed to go (when most of the cousins didn't). It made the Rochester newspapers (note to me, get a copy). The next day, coinciding with the 4th of July celebration, there was a huge picnic at their house on Cranberry Road. Mom made mother-daughter dresses for the 3 of us -- white with blue flowers. There was a ton of food, a big cake, a cooler with soda and beer, (the boys would chase the girls and through the ice), Grandma's flowers were all in bloom. At one point the entire yard and house was filled with people. The fire trucks came with all the guys and the horns blaring.

  Notes for Susan Fremouw:
[descdk.FTW]

I remember going to Aunt Susie's house, a big white one in Palmyra right near the four big churches (one on each corner). I was very impressed with the house - it looked so pretty, lace curtains with sun shining though, mantle with pictures and candle sticks. The dining room had beautiful glassware (colored?).

There was a big piano in the hall which somebody played while we all sang.
Suzie always backed cookies when we were there. I remember the smell. It always seemed to be happy there.

The kids played in a cubbyhole under the stairs said to be used in the Underground Railroad. And we played tag and hide and seek running round and round the house. The adult ladies would sit in the "front room" drinking tea and talking and laughing. The men disappeared to the workshop.

I think Sara was closest to Susie.
