Fred Justin Wainwright, or "Uncle Fred" as my mother (Arlene Wainwright/Allan) used to call him, was the Uncle of Arlene's father, Harry Leonard Wainwright. Fred was a young uncle, being only 8 years older than his nephew, my Mom's father. Mom often spoke of Uncle Fred with great respect, warmth and love. Mom told me that Uncle Fred was very proud of having been part of a group of men, called the "White Mountain Boys." So far, I've been unable to locate any information about this group.

Mary Bernheart came over to the US on a ship with her two small children, Louis (2) and Mary (1). Mary tells a story of how her mother became ill on the ship, and other women watched the children. During a time of illness, little Mary, only 1 year, wandered off, and nearly fell into the ocean. Ships in those days did not have railings.
Nicolas Kolosseus had been in the US for a year when Mary and the children came over, he was staying with his brother, Anthony in Omaha, NE. Mary and the children went directly from the ship to Omaha and the family stayed with Anthony for about a year before finding their own place.
Kolosseus is a Hungarian name....Mary was of German decent and spoke German..Nicolas Kolosseus spoke Hungarian, but apparently they understood each other.
