| Father | Karl Ernst Mehner b. 16 Aug 1845, d. 21 Aug 1915 |
| Mother | Therisa Amelia Otto b. 1849, d. 14 Jun 1910 |
| Last Edited | 24 Jan 2002 |
| Note* | We are not sure of Albert Hugo Mehner's birth place! For certain hisparents were from Burkhardtsdorf, (just south of Chemnitz, Saxony,Germany). Albert Hugo Mehner was born October 3, 1877 in Saxony, Germany(According to his eldest son Karl Trevor Mehner, from a letter dated Feb.1969) However, according to his youngest son Robert Mehner, Albert Hugo Mehnerwas born in Stuttgart, Saxony, Germany in 1877. (The Klahiam of theEllensburg H.S., June 1910 where he served on the faculty says that hewas born in Dresden, Germany!--that was in the general area ofChemnitz/Burkhardtsdorf-- the Mehner ancestral home in Saxony). Hisparents were Karl Ernest and Therisa Otto Mehner. At the age of 4 he came with his brothers and parents to Mount Vernon,Knox County, Ohio in about 1880-81. The family came west in 1890. Theylanded in Seattle the year after the great fire. Because of Karl Ernst Mehner's failing health, the family decided to buya ranch in Kitsap County in 1891. They bought 15 acres at Fairview nearTracyton, across the narrows from Bremerton, WA. on the waterfront onPort Washington. Albert was 14 years old when the family arrived at theranch. They lived on a gladiola farm called 'Gladshore' Or 'Gladi Acres'. He delayed attending high school because of the need to help on thefamily farm. He must have resided in Tacoma (or did he commute from Bremerton?) from1896-1900 when he graduated from Tacoma High School as one of the classspeakers at his graduation in 1900 (he was 23!) With few roads and nobridges, he must have ridden one of the famous 'mosquito fleet' commuterboats between Bremerton and Tacoma. It must have been during theseTacoma days when he met his future wife Eva Mae Damon. They were married in Tacoma June 18, 1904 and honeymooned in FridayHarbor in the San Juan Islands. In the spring of 1901, the family sold the 15 acres and moved to thenearby fledgling city of Bremerton. That was also the year his olderbrother Paul married Isabell Hicks at Bremerton and became the city'sfirst clerk. (Paul was later Mayor from 1912-1914) He graduated from the University of Washington (AB) in 1904. In 1903, 04he acted as the Assistant to the famous Professor of Zoology TrevorKincaid of the University of Washington. Albert developed one of thelargest collections of seaweed in the world. Interestingly, he named hisfirst son Karl Trevor after his mentor in 1905. He was an instructor at Juneau, Alaska High School in 1904-5 where hisfirst son was born. He was instructor of Sciences at the Ellensburg,Washington High School in 1905-9 (at least) where his second son, Warren,and his third son, Abert Hartson, were born. John and Nancy (Mehner) Ruhlman have a photo of Albert in April, 1911 (hewas 39 years old). The address on the photo is 219 North Bassett,Madison, Wisconsin. The photographer was Curtiss, Madison, Wisconsin.We believe he graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a MS inScience. Albert Hugo Mehner taught Biology (an ichthyologist- 'a branch of Zoologythat deals with the study fishes and sea plants') and headed up theentire Science Department at the Washington State Normal School (laterCentral Washington University) in Ellensburg where he taught until 1916. In 1916 he developed Yellow Jaundice ('yellow pigmentation of the skin,tissues, and body fluids caused by the deposition of bile pigments') andthe doctors insisted that he give up teaching and take up outdooractivities. After a one year stay in Grants Pass, Josephine County,Oregon, the family moved back to Bremerton. They remained there and were living at 1308 Pleasant Ave. in Bremerton,June 3, 1918 when their fourth son Robert David was born. They raisedgladiolas at 'Gladishore Acres' on the Port Washington Narrows just southEvergreen Park. They are still listed at that address in the BremertonDirectory of 1920-21. We assume Albert and Eva owned the 'Mehner Apartments' that are alsolisted in the 1920-21 City Directory at 413 Washington Ave. (Althoughanother Mehner family branch could have owned them.) In 1971 the City ofBremerton built a parking garage there! Albert and Eva were members of the First Presbyterian Church of Bremertonand organized the first Boy Scout Troop in Kitsap County, WA. Theireldest son Karl Trevor Mehner said in a letter in Feb. 1969 that therewas a stained glass window in the Bremerton Baptist Church (about 5th andWarren Streets) with the Mehner name on it. (we have been unable to provethis - JJR) Albert remained in Bremerton until 1928 when he moved to Seattle wherehis wife Eva was one of the first female real estate brokers on CapitalHill. He was a professor at UW. He was bedridden in the late 1930's. Hedied in Seattle in 1939. We believe he was cremated. It is also interesting to note that they named their 'Warren Paul Mehner'after his mother Eva Mae Damon's family, the Warren's of Berwick, Maine! -Information from RobertDavid Mehner, Sr. [Coy Family Tree. FTW] Obituary, Bremerton Daily News - 03, April 1939 ALBERT HUGO MEHNER Albert came to the United States of America at the age of five andreside at 309 Pleasant Ave., Bremerton, Washington. He was cremated -Home Undertaking Mortuary, Seattle, Washington, and remains werescattered on Puget Sound. Albert Hugo Mehner was born in Stuttgart, the capital ofBaben-Wuttemberg, Germany in 1877 and came to the U.S.A. in 1880, At theage of 5 (or 3?) He lived with his parents and brothers in Ohio for ashort time before coming to the Puget Sound country in 1891. They farmedfor a time at Fairview (near Tracyton, across the Narrows from Bremerton,Washington). Albert’s father was a tailor in the old country andestablished 'Mehner and Son Naval Tailors and Outfitters' in Bremertonabout 1900. The Son was Albert’s brother Paul. Due to farm work, Albert was late going to Tacoma High School, 1900but eventually graduated from the University of Washington, AB.,1904 andthen took Graduate work at the University of Wisconsin. He taughtscience at Juneau’s Alaska High School, 1904-5 and went on expedition forthe New York Museum of Natural History in the wilds of Alaska. He later taught Science in Ellensburg High School and later became theassistant to the famous Biology Professor, Trevor Kincaid at CentralWashington Teachers College at Ellensburg, WA. and then headed up theentire Science Department at the Central Washington Teachers Collegeuntil 1916. At that time he had one of largest seaweed collections inthe world! Interestingly, he named his first son after the Professor(Karl Trevor Mehner). Then he developed yellow jaundice and the doctors insisted that hegive up teaching, and take up outdoor activities. So in 1916 they movedto Grants Pass, Oregon for a year, and then to Bremerton where RobertDavid 'Bob' was born June 03, 1918, the address was on Pleasant Avenueabout 1 block up from the Port Washington Narrows, on the east side ofthe street, a small one story structure. By 1919 they moved to a 24 acre ranch on Phinney Bay 4 miles north ofBremerton,this was ‘Gladishore’ where they cultivated gladiolus bulbs andcut flowers to sell in their store in the Dietz Building on Pacific near4th in Bremerton. This was called - Gladishore Floral Co. About 1928, they moved 4 miles south of Bremerton to the Old GorstHomestead, and lived in the big two story house on Gorst Creek. In 1929 they bought the Strand Apartments at 221 Belmont North, (nowis 221 Belmont East) Seattle, the phone number was Capital 6158. Theythen moved across the street to the corner house, 232 Belmont N. atThomas St. about 1931. They then moved to 420 18th N. (now E.) about 1932. Albert died in Seattle, the 2nd of April, 1939.

'He died Dec. 8, 1876, at 2:30 in the morning and his funeral was Dec.ll, 1876 in Burkhardtsdorf.'--Martin Schreiter Interestingly, his son, Karl Ernst Mehner, left for America four yearslater in 1880 with his family at age 35; perhaps he had waited until hisfather died to make the move; perhaps the long Franco-Prussian wars madethem want to leave. We should comment here, that according to Robert David Mehner, (NancyMehner Ruhlman's father), the parents of Christian Gottlieb Mehner were'Ehregott and Johanna Mehner', but Martin Schreiter's letter documentsthat they were 'Karl and Christane'.

| Note* | We first knew about Herman J. Mehner because Paul Ernest Mehner (b 1910,d. 1983) sent us a family tree that lists Herman in 1973 We later learned a clue from what his brother Paul E. Mehner said in a1935 Application For Presidential Postmaster that 'from 1891 to 1901because of his father's health (Paul) bought a small farm in Tracyton(near Bremerton, WA) and worked this with his brothers' (notice theplural brothers--that must have included Albert and Herman) We notice that he is Not included in the will written by his parents KarlErnst Mehner and Therisa Otto just before they left for their trip toGermany in 1910. We know that Herman was alive in 1910 in (about age 35?) when his motherand father took a trip to Saxony, Germany (his mother passed away at age61, June 14, 1910 in Riesa, Saxony, Germany while visiting her brother,there) and Herman J. is mentioned as one of the three surviving sons inher newspaper obituary (Bremerton Sun?). His other brothers were CarlErnest Mehner and Albert Hugo Mehner. The big breakthrough came when Paul Dewar of Bremerton told us in Oct.,2000 that he found Herman listed in the Death Records for WashingtonState: 'died at age 73 in Pierce Co., WA on Sept 16, 1945.' When we received his death certificate from the State Department ofHealth, everything fit together!: Herman spent his last 40 years in thesate mental hospital (Western State Hospital, Steilacoom, WA). He diedSeptember 16, 1945 at the hospital He is listed as: Male, White, Single,age 73. (this would make his date of birth in 1873.) His birthplace islisted as Germany (Burkhardsdorf, Saxony, we would assume where hisbrother Karl Ernst was born.) His occupation, like his brother was'tailoring'. His city of residence was Bremerton. His medical record is fascinating: 'immediate cause of death, cerebral hemorrhage- - one month due to Paralysis Angitans -- ten years due to Dementia Praecox -- 40 years' So, it appears that he suffered severe mental illness as early as 1906. It appears that there was a mistake in the listing of his father, 'PaulMehner' is listed, but Paul would have been his brother! His realfather's birth name was Karl Ernst Mehner seemed to give his name inseveral different ways! -- (see 'More' notes about Karl Ernst Mehner) --the funeral home at the time of his death listed him as 'Ernest PaulMehner!' It is sad that in the 20th century mental illness was such a socialstigma. At our Mehner family reunion in Aug. 2000 no one had ever heardof Herman, the brother of 'The Professor' (Albert Hugo and 'The Mayor'(Paul Ernest). With the help of several in our family, we have traceddown the story of Herman Mehner who was largely alone in the WesternState Hospital in Steilacoom for 40 years! Welcome to our family tree,Herman! -- John and Nancy (Mehner) Ruhlman, November 2000. |

| Note* | Karl came with his family to Ohio from Saxony, Germany in 1880. They then moved to Kitsap County, Washington in 1891 and lived nearTracyton and Bremerton, Washington. Karl and his son Paul Mehner established 'Mehner and Son' Naval Outfitters in Bremerton, Washington about 1900. I (John Jay Ruhlman) believe Paul later became Mayor of Bremerton (about 1919?). According to his birth certificate, Karl Ernst Mehner was born August 16,1845 in Burkhardtsdorf, Germany. He was the 'son of a married couple,Christian Gottlieb Mehner who owned a house in Burkhardtsdorf'. According to a letter dated Dec 22, 1998, from Martin Schreiter, the sonof the Burgermeister of Burkhardtsdorf, 'Karl married Therisa Amelia Ottoin 1871 in St. Johannes Church, Chemnitz'. We assume that this was anEvangelical (Lutheran) Church. However, Karl's eldest grandson KarlTrevor Mehner says in a letter dated February 1969, 'grandfather KarlErnst Mehner was a Baptist, and, as you no doubt know, our family werePresbyterians (in Bremerton, WA). He came at age 35 with his wife and sons (Paul was about 8 Herman wasabout 5? and Albert was about 3) to Mount Vernon, Ohio from aroundChemnitz, Saxony, Germany in 1880. We wonder what happened to the thirdbrother Herman! He seemed to be in Tracyton (near Bremerton) sometimebetween 1891 and 1901; Herman was alive when his mother died in 1910 on areturn visit to Germany. According to his grandson Karl Trevor Mehner,Karl Ernst Mehner was a 'tailor in the old country'. The family then moved to Kitsap County, WA in 1891. They lived inTracyton and Bremerton (see 'More about Paul E. Mehner '.) His son Paulsaid in a 1935 Presidential Postmaster Application that 'from 1891 until1901, on account of father's health, Paul bought a small farm at Fairview (near Tracyton across the narrows from Bremerton) and worked this withhis brothers' This implies that Karl Ernst was failing in health (age46!) and that the long lost brother Herman must have helped our two knownbrothers (Paul and Albert) on the farm at Tracyton somewhere between 1891and 1901. We know of Herman's existence because of a genealogical chartsent to me by Paul Mehner in the spring of 1970.-JJR Herman must havedied somewhere between 1910 and April 4, 1939 when his brother AlbertHugo Mehner's obituary in the Bremerton Sun did not include him. Because of his old country experience in tailoring, Karl and his son PaulMehner established 'Mehner and Son' (see photo from 1906) Naval Outfitters in Bremerton in 1901. Son Paul was later Clerk and then Mayor of Bremerton. He signed theletter as a clerk from the City Council of Bremerton that invited theNavy Department to build a Naval Base in Bremerton! Karl was with his wife Therisa Amelia Otto on a visit to her family whenshe died June 14, 1910 in Riesa, Saxony, German (Just north of Chemnitz)while she was visiting her brother. Karl Ernst died Aug 21, 1915 according to the records of the LewisFuneral Chapel, 5303 Kitsap Way, Bremerton, Washington 98312-2299, phone1-360-377-3836. Interestingly, his name was given as Ernest Paul Mehner! We really believe this was the same person because he is listed as 70years and 5 months old (corresponds with his birth certificate).According to his funeral record, he was cremated. He was living on Ohio Street, Bremerton, WA. There was a funeral service with Minister Deckerof Bremerton, officiating on Aug. 22, 1915. Of course, is occupation waslisted as a 'tailor'. His death certificate listed his name differently again (Ernest CarlMehner!) According to this document, he was born Aug. 16, 1845 and diedat age 70 years, 5 months on Aug. 21, 1915. His cause of death waslisted as Cardiac Asthma. He was cremated in Seattle. Interestingly, he is listed as 'married', although his first wife TherisaAmelia Otto had died on a visit to Germany in 1910. Here, five yearslater the Informant on the death certificate was E. C. Mehner ofBremerton. We believe this is his second wife, Anna, (whom he probablyhad married in Germany in 1910). She was Theresa's younger sister AnnaOtto (born Nov. 26, 1857 in Saxony, Germany, died January 4, 1929 inForks, WA.) - - According to Anna's death certificate. |

| Note* | We understand from another Mehner family study that the earlier spellingof the name was Mehnert. From John and Nancy (Mehner) Ruhlman's trip to Saxony in 1998, we learnedthat most of the modern German Mehners trace their ancestry to the silverminers of the Erz mountains (Erzgebirge) of Saxony. In 1168 there was a great silver discovery in Freiberg. The news drewpeople from Zwickau (50 miles to the southwest) and other distantmargrave lands. The Berggeschrei or 'call of the mountains' was followedby many families from Franconia (250 miles to the west in the Rhine rivervalley). By 1470 there was a larger silver deposit discovered in Schneeberg. By1500 there were about 8,000 people living in Schneeberg. The new churchdedicated to the mining patron, St. Wolfgang was completed in 1540. In1478 there were 167 silver quarries being worked around the city! The Wettin lands of the dynasties of Albrecht and Ernst were consideredthe wealthiest in the empire around 1500. In Annaberg, the greatAnnenkirche was built in 1499 and dedicated to the veneration of St.Anna, the patron saint of mining. Dr. Ingo Mehner said that the famous statue of the silver miner inBrand-Erbisdorf was that of Karl Heinrich Mehner (1885-1933) the last andbeloved silver miner there. He also said that the statue looks amazinglylike the photo of our Albert Hugo Mehner that we mailed him! ---from aletter dated Jan 13, 1999. By the close of the 16th Century, the silver ran out and the area began along, slow decline! Between the 17th and 19th centuries, the land wasnot suitable for farming and there was little income for the largepopulation of the Erzgebirge. One trade that led to prosperity was theproduction of wood products and toys in Olbernhau and Seiffen, wherethere is the well known toy museum exhibiting all manner of nutcrackers.Another means of earning a living was the production of stockings as isseen in the 'Strumpfdorfern' or 'stocking -producing' villages aroundThalheim... .--Saxony and It's History by Klaus Kratzsch,Leipzig, 1990 (Interestingly enough, the main industry in Burkhardsdorf was stockingproducing! Michael Stubbe (a Nebel family historian) told us in a letterof July 6, 1999 that Carl Gottlieb Mehner's daugher's husband,(CarlFriedrich Nebel) was a 'strumphfwirkermeister' translated literally'master stockingmaker'! The famous quality collector toy makers of Erzgebirge 'Steinbach' and'Albrecht' currently make toys in this area. Martin Schreiter, the son of the Burgermeister of Burkhardsdorf wrote usFeb 27, 1999 with a translation from the local church records: 'KarlGottlieb Mehner was born in another village. He came to Burkhardtsdorfand married Christiane Karoline Haenel Nov 11, 1804 in Burkhardtsdorf.' Michael Stubbe (above) also tells us that Carl Gottlieb Mehner'soccupations were 'Auszugshaulsers und Maurers' translated 'To move out ofhouses and Bricklayer'. We don't yet know where or when Karl Gottlieb Mehner died. |
