• Notes

  Nathan built basements, foundations and streets in the Kansas City area in the early 1900's. At one time he owned a shoe shop. Family history passed down by word of mouth said that nathan had bought a lot of red shoes and could not sell them even for 15 cents a pair. So he put them out in front of his store and put a sign on them that said, "Special $1.00 a pair." He sold every pair because the women thought they were getting a bargain. Nathan could speak German and French fluently. He taught a few words to his children, but it is said that after the outbreak of World War II, the children were not allowed to speak German again - however, it appears that Nathan died before the war started, so this story is probably not true. On Nathan's death certificate, his father is listed as "Lonzo" and his mother as "unknown". Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA [2]
