The General Slocum was a pleasure steamer that was used by many organizations to take day excursions in the New York Harbor and vicinity.

This view of the New York Harbor shows Ellis Island behind the General Slocum. In July 2013 J T Chiarella pointed out that the building on the right is "Pier A". It still exists today.

General Slocum Disaster

1904 Flaming Horror on a Death Ship

June 15, 1904, dawned as one of those rare summer days that make New York City seem full of promise. And the Sunday School children of St. Mark's Lutheran Church were glad, because the Rev. George Haas had planned their annual picnic for that day. The children, their parents and their teachers were to board the steamship General Slocum, which would take them up Long Island Sound to Locust Grove on Huntington Bay. There they would eat lunch, play games, and have a great time.

The General Slocum, a typical excursion steamer of the day, had been built of wood in 1890. There were over 1,300 people aboard her as she pulled away from lower Manhattan at 9:40 A.M. The vessel steamed northward up the East River into the western end of the Long Island Sound. At 10:20, just 40 minutes after the Slocum had left her pier, fire broke out. A northerly breeze swept the flames rapidly toward the ship's stern, where the passengers huddled in terror. Capt. Willam Van Schaick beached the blazing steamer, now an inferno, on North Brother Island*, where her stern lay partly submerged in 30 feet of water. Many men, women and children were drowned as the leaped over the sides into the water; hundreds more died in the burning furnace of the hull when the hurricane deck collapsed. In all, 1021 were lost — making this one of the worst catastrophes in maritime history.

The entire nation was shocked, by the tragedy. President Theodore Roosevelt formed a special commission to investigate the disaster; there was also a New York coroner's inquest and a federal grand jury investigation. In the end it was found that the General Slocum's life preservers and fire-fighting equipment were not only inadequate but old and worn out, though they had recently been approved by government inspection. But it is doubtful than many lives would have been saved even if they had been new, since the fire spread through the old wooden hull so rapidly that few would have had time to outfit themselves before leaping into the water. The investigations did, however, lead to more stringent rules governing the inspection of passenger vessels.

A monument to the unidentified dead from the General Slocum still stands in the Old Lutheran Cemetery** in Middle Village, Long Island. Th hulk itself was raised and rebuilt as a coal barge called the Maryland which was lost in a storm off Sandy Hook***, New Jersey, on December 3, 1911.

Karen Lamberson wrote in October 2014:

**Now Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery

***"And the barge, according to Clive Custler, who dived the wreck, was lost off Atlantic City (Brigantine) not off Sandy Hook which is probably fifty miles north of Atlantic City."

Printed on back:

"On a sunny June morning in 1904, the General Slocum, an excursion boat, sailed from Manhattan's Third Street pier, bound for Long Island. Aboard the steamer was a local church group looking forward to a day of picnicking and fun. But just minutes after the Slocum left its dock, black smoke began pouring from the ship. Hay and cans of oil had somehow ignited in a supply room, and fire roared through the steamer. The burning of the Slocum proved to be one of the worst disasters on water in American history; 1,021 people — mostly women and children — were killed.

One error after another contributed to the day's tragedy. The ship's captain had not trained his crew to handle a fire. Lifeboats, tied to the ship with wire, could not be launched. Aging fire hoses burst when the water was turned on, and rotted life preservers sank like weights. Many people jumped overboard to escape the spreading flames and drowned.

The disaster shocked the nation, and President Theodore Roosevelt, ordered an investigation. As a result, a federal commission recommended that all new ships be built of steel and have fireproof wall.

"As soon as word was received of the disaster, fireboats were at once hurried to the scene, where they attempted to put out the fire aboard the steamer and to rescue those who were imprisoned on her. At the moment the vessel went aground the hurricane-deck gave way, throwing many passengers, women and children, into the flames below, where rescue was impossible."

There are conflicting reports on the numbers of dead, missing, injured and uninjured.

1. Number of people dead - 938 - Number of missing - 93 - Number of injured - 179 - As listed in "New York's Awful Steamboat Horror" 1904.

2. Number of identified dead 863, Missing 61, Injured 267, Uninjured 140 for a total of 1,331 according to the 1905 Annual City Report. The report noted that the 1,331 people represented 622 families of which 170 or 27 and a half precent had moved since June 1904.

In 1904, Charities: The Official Organ of the Charity Organization Society ..., Volume 12 stated

"The excursionists were mainly women and children, only nine male heads of families having been known to be lost, and in comparison with the appalling loss of life there was comparatively little loss of property. "

"One hundred and twenty men lost their entire family by the disaster. Of these twenty-nine lost wife only; thirtynine lost wife and one child; thirty-two wife and two children; ten, wife and three children; three, wife and four children; and one, wife and five children; two widowers lost each two children, and one widower four children, while the remaining three of the 120 men left alone as the result of the disaster lost other relatives with whom they were living. Twenty-one men, whose wives and one or more children were lost, were left with one child under fourteen, and eleven others were left with more than one small child, having lost wife and one or more children."

On June 21 it was reported that 773 bodies had been recovered. 640 of those had been identified. 60 bodies were still at the morgue. 29 unidentified bodies had been buried. 32 bodies were at North Brothers Island. Approximately 300 person were still missing.

On June 23 there was a second burial of 50 unidentified dead - 32 adults and 18 children. On June 25 an additional 12 unidentified bodies were buried - 2 adults and 12 children.

On June 30 an additional 6 unidentified bodies wer buried - 2 adults, three children and one of body parts.

Arrangements were made for the careful designation of the number and location of the burials in the event that the bodies would need to be disinterred. A sectional drawing was made and each coffin contained a plate with a number on it. Clothing was removed before the body was buried and placed in a box that matched the number on the coffin. Within sixty days of the burials 37 bodes were thus identified and disinterred to be reburied by their family.

ANSEL, Alfred, 4 years, of 103 East Fourth street Dead or Missing June 17, 1904

It would appear that Eugene's body was never identified or recovered as no death certificate was issued.

"John Ansel of 103 East Forth street, whose wife and two young sons were on the "Slocum" picked out one after another of five bodies at the Alexander avenue station as that of his wife. The man was crazy with grief.

He told the police that early in the day he had received a message from Germany telling of the death of his father, and within minutes heard of the disaster of the "Slocum on which were his wife and children.

Coroner Berry got from Ansel the initials on the inside of his wife's ring, and a body which was not one of those picked out by Ansel, but which had already been identified by the dress as that of Mrs. Elizabeth Diehl of 905 East Fifth street, was found to by Mrs. Ansel's. The ring was all that made the identification possible. (New York Steamboat Horror: The Fire on the General Slocum By H. D. Northrop)

Slocum Horror: The account of Nicholas Balser:

Shortly after leaving the pier, I left my wife and the Fickbohms on the middle deck. They were sitting in the bow. I took little Freddy Fickbohm on the top deck to show him the points of interest. We were approaching the island when, looking forward, I saw flames shooting up from the deck below. Unclasping my knife, I slashed at the fastenings of the life rafts nearby. But, they were secured by wire instead of rope. I told Freddy to stay with me, but when I returned he has disappeared. I then started for my party but was driven back by the flames.

The whole front part of the boat by this time was a mass of fire. For the time being, so near were we to shore that there was no panic. The passengers, mostly women and children, retreated before the flames. All thought that the boat would put into shore at once, but it seemed fully five minutes or more before she swung inshore. By this time, the scene was terrifying. Women threw their children overboard and then followed. They had no other refuge from the flames, which swept everything before them.

I rushed aft, calling to my wife, but I could not see her, and in the roar of the fire and the cries of the panic-stricken passengers, she could not hear me. I was driven back to the wheelhouse by the fire. I thought I was trapped. There was no chance for me to go farther aft, and below was the fire.

I threw myself over the railing and dropped into the water on the side farthest from land. It was then I received these burns. The water came only to my armpits, and I could have walked to the shore. When I finally emerged, I looked back and to my dying day I'll never forget the scene. Around me were scores of bodies, most of them charred and burned. I helped as many as possible of those living to the land. From the stern of the boat, where hundreds of persons were huddled fighting like mad to leap into the water, I saw dozens of women throw themselves over the side.

I searched in vain for my wife. Body after body was laid out on the shore, but hers was not among them. Then someone said that a party of women and children had been sent to the city, and a neighbor told me my wife was among them.*

*Amelia died in the Slocum disaster.

Edwards J. Bertrand: Online Bio

Edward J. Bertrand was born in New York City, January 26, 1884, a son of the late Charles A. and Elizabeth Bertrand. On his father's side he is of French descent, being a great great grandson of Count Henri Gratien Bertrand, one of the generals of Napoleon I and one of the Emperor's most loyal supporters. The first member of the family to come to this country was Mr. Bertrand's grandfather, who settled in the United States in 1858. His son, Mr. Bertrand's father, was for many years successfully engaged in the trucking business and also was over a very long period of years a power in local politics, having been a staunch supporter of the Democratic party and at one time a member of the New York State Senate. He died in 1916, having been predeceased by Mrs. Bertrand, who was one of the unfortunate victims, June 15, 1904, of the disaster which befell the Steamship "General Slocum" in the East River."

Bock ⚰ ⚰ ☁ - died Grace age 5, May age 7 - injured Louise age 32

City Record: Bock 69 Marcy ave. Brooklyn, Grace E. age 5 and May L age 7 DEAD, Louise 32 to Lincoln hospital.

By 1900 Charles Bock and his wife Louise had had four children two of whom were still living. Louise was on the Slocum with the two remaining children, Grace✟ and May✟, who were both lost. Charles and Louise had a son Charles jr was born circa 1906. Louise Bock died in 1916 and Charles remarried. He and his second wife, Mamie, had a daughter, Viola, circa 1918.

1904: Charles Bock of 59 Marcy ave spent hours searching among the dead for his two daughters, Grace age 5and May L age 7. His wife, Louise, had seen her daughter, May Louise, "drown before her eyes" having been unable to save her. Mrs. Bock was almost out of her mind. Louise Bock had attended St. Mark's Sunday school and had been married in St. Mark's church. She attended the picnic outing every year. In 1904 she was with her childhood friend Anna Burckhard (who died in the Slocum disaster). The two women and two daughters of Louise Bock were on the upper deck when the fire started. Mrs. Bock grabbed May Louise and Mrs Buckhaedt grabbed Grace. Almost immediately the two women became separated. Louise Bock managed to slide down a pole with May Lousie in her arms until she reached the water. Exhausted she lost her grip on the girl. She was hauled aboard a launch. She watched in horror as the girl, still in the river, slipped under the water. The men on the launch tried by failed to reach her. Louse Bock did not remember anything else until she woke up in Lincoln hospital. Louise Bock suffered from burns and submersion.

1904 "Beck" Marcy ave, Brooklyn Brooklyn Daily Eagle on June 16:

Mother Alive, Her Two Children Gone

A scene similar to that repeated at many other houses of mourning was enacted at the home of Charles BECK, 69 Marcy avenue, this forenoon, when his wife, Louisa, reached there in the company with several relatives. Mrs. BECK was formerly a member of St. Mark's Church, and had been in the habit of attending the excursion every year. She in the company with her two children, Grace Edna, 4 1/2 years old, and May Louise, 6 1/2 years old, attended the ill-fated outing. She was almost too hysterical to tell a connected story, but says that in the panic she was torn away, in the wild rush, from her two children, and though she searched frantically for them, never caught sight of their faces again.

During her search she was thrown down and trampled under foot and finally found herself in the water. She does not know how she came to get into the water, but believes she was forced over the edge of the burning boat by the maddened mob. She was rescued and taken to the Lincoln Hospital. She was located there by her frantic husband and when able to leave this morning was assisted to her home by relatives. She managed to compose herself until she reached the house, when she broke down and became hysterical. Her shrieks were heart rendering and she called constantly for her two children. A number of relatives were gathered in the stricken home including Mrs. BECK's aged mother and father and their weeping added to the pathetic scene.

The missing children are described as being very pretty with long golden curls and dressed nearly alike.

Brooklyn Eagle June 23, 1904:

Brooklyn Eagle - 6-23-1904 - Jewelry Is Missing From the Body of Mrs.

" Ella BODEN. The body of Mrs. Ella BODEN, one of the victims of the Slocum disaster, was identified yesterday by her husband, John BODEN, of 101 Clymer street. Mrs BODEN, who was 47 years old, went on the ill-fated excursion with the LUTJEN family, who lived in the same house and of which Mrs. LUTJEN and her daughter Marguerite were lost.

The body of Mrs. BODEN was badly decomposed so that the features were almost unrecognizable. The identification was made complete by the wedding ring found on her finger, together with other articles of jewelry. When the clothing of the drowned woman was closely examined, it was discovered that several articles of jewelry which she was known to have worn could not be found. Among the missing articles is a gold watch and chain. Mr. BODEN who commented on this fact, has made no formal complaint for the reason that he thinks it might be possible that the missing jewelry may have been torn away during the panic following the fire on the boat or by grappling irons of the searchers. The body was placed in charge of Undertaker HILLARY of Division avenue, near Clymer street, and the funeral will be conducted from that place at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning."

1904

"Saw Her Daughter Drown. Mrs. Louisa BOCK Made Heroic Efforts to Save Child, but All In Vain. Mrs. Louisa BOCK, who with her husband, Charles, lives at 69 Marcy avenue, is still suffering from the shock of the loss of her two pretty children, May Louise, 6 1/2 years old, and Grace Edna, 4 1/2 years old. Mrs. BOCK had the heart-rendering experience of witnessing the death of her daughter, May Louise by drowning before her eyes without being able to render the slightest aid. The grief of the woman is pathetic, when the fact is recalled to her.

During one of her calm periods this morning, Mrs. BOCK told a graphic story of her experience with the child who was drowned. She said she had been an attendant at St. Mark's Sunday School, and was married in the church. She was in the habit of going, annually, on the outing, and was in company with Mrs. Anna BURKHARDT, a former playmate, who lived at 141 East Third street, Manhattan. The latter lost her life in the catastrophe.

In the company with the dead woman, Mrs. BOCK says, she had secured a seat on the upper deck, while her two children played nearby. When the alarm came, followed by the panic, she seized her daughter, May, while Mrs. BURKHARDT volunteered to take charge of Grace. In the rush of the maddened people, the two women were swept apart, and when Mrs. BOCK looked for Mrs. BURKHARDT and her little daughter, they were not to be seen.

As the wall of flame advanced toward her, Mrs. BOCK says, she hesitated, at first, but determined to face it, and unmindful of the scorching heat which seared the flesh on her face and hands, made her way to the side of the boat. Her quick glance caught site of one of the long fenders suspended by a rope and hanging in the water. She managed to slide down this pole, with her child in her arm, until she reached the water.

She managed to clutch something to sustain herself, and evidently remained until exhausted, and must have released her hold upon her daughter, as she remembers nothing until she opened her eyes while being hauled from the water, and found herself being drawn aboard a steam launch. As she opened her eyes, her glance fell upon the face of her little daughter, a few feet away. The child had her arms extended murmuring the word "mother," when she slowly sank beneath the surface of the water.

The men in the launch tried to reach the child as she was sinking, and Mrs. BOCK remembers nothing more until she came to a the Lincoln Hospital. Beside suffering from her submersion, Mrs. BOCK was also severely burned. She was able to reach her home yesterday morning. As no trace of the child Grace, has been found, it is presumed that she was also drowned with Mrs. BURKHARDT."

KISSED THE COLD LIPS

Jacob Michael identified the body of his daughter Carrie, age 12, late in the afternoon. He was slowly walking along the line of coffins, when he suddenly halted, and with a moan, fell to his knees in several inches of water, and reaching into a coffin, raised the head of a child and began to kiss the cold lips fervently.

Earlier in the day the man had been to the Morgue and identified the charred body of his married daughter, Mrs. Catherine Cohrs, and that of his year-old grandson. The bodies of his daughter and grandson had been burned almost beyond recognition, but Michael did not seem to be as much affected by that awful sight as he was when he saw little Carrie's body in the coffin. He had to be dragged from the coffin by the police and forced to leave the pier."

"Next door to Miss Koelder the Michael family is mourning the loss of four of its members their daughter, Mrs. Catherine Cohr 70 First ave, her two children, Frieda, six years old, and Harry, one year, and Carolina Michael, thirteen years old. Mr. Cohrs's husband spent all of the afternoon and evening searching for his family in the hospital while his wife's old mother and father waited anxiously for news. Neighbors, sympathetic, yet ftill of a morbid curiosity, hung around the door, offering occasional words of encouragement. The father sat in a chair by the window, his head buried in his hands, while the mother paced the floor. Another daughter, who had thought of going on the excursion, sat by, and her baby, evidently recognizing that all was not well, kept up a continuous crying. "My daughter's husband saw the boat on fire," said Mrs. Michael. "He drives an Ice cream wagon, and he was over near the East River when a woman called to him if he saw the boat on fire. "What is it?" he asked. "It's the General Slocum." "Good God. my whole family is on that boat" he cried."

In June 1904 Metta Cordes✟ was a widow with 5 children. They lived on 16th street. Mrs. Cortes and two of her children, Henrietta✟, age 22 and Fritz✟, age 14, died in the disaster. Son Charles age 18 was injured. Henry (age 21) and Charles were rescued by a tug. Initially Henry did not know what had happend to the rest of the family. No mention was made of son John age 19 in connection with the Slocum. In 1905 Henry, John and Charles were still living on 16h street. In 1910 the Cordes brothers were still all single and still all living together on 16th street. John Cordes married Mabel K. Werner on Aug 6, 1913 (NYC Marriage Grooms index). They had a son, John.

Charles was on the missing list but appears to have survived. Metta Cordes was buried in Middle Village Queens.

Henry Cordes said that he and his brother, Charles, were rescued by a tug but the rest of his family were missing.

Henry Cordes was interviewed at the morgue where he went to look for his mother and siblings. He stated that once the cry of FIRE! went up everyone rushed to the upper decks. The crowding cause the railing to give way and many were pushed into the water. As the fire ate away the supports of the deck the deck crashed taking many into the flames with it. He said the crew did try and get the life boats down and the hoses out - but it was overwhelming.

"The scene when the deck fell in was one of indescribable horror. The flames roared and licked at the people who, in their desperation leaped overboard to escape a worse death, while those who were too late went down into the hell below." (N Y times June 16, 1904

City record: Agnes 6 dead, Frank 9 dead, Nicholas age 2 missing, Rose age 12 at Lincoln, and Lena age 31 uninjured.

Lena DeLuccia of 54 7th street took her children: Rose, Frank, Agnes, and Nicholas on the Slocum excursion. Frank✟ age 9, Agnes✟ age 6 and Nicholas✟ age 2 perished. Rose, age 12, survived.

June 16, 1904: NY Times - Mrs. Giovannie De Luccia of 54 7th street was on the Slocum with her four children ranging in age from 12 years to less than a year. She returned home with her face badly burned and not remembering anything about the incident except there was fire all around. She did not know how she got in the water. She did not know where her children were. She had heard that her eldest daughter was alive and in a hospital.

Lena Deluccia, who was badly burned survived by clinging to the paddlewheel.

Dead: Deluccia 54 7th street: Agnes age 6, dead, Frank age 9, dead, Nicholas, age 2, missing, presumed dead (never found).

DeLuccia, Rosa, 54 7th street shock Lincoln Hospital

UNINJURED: DeLuccia, --- age 31, 54 E 7th, and Rose age 12, same address

Nine persons from the tenement 54 Seventh street, in the rear of St. Mark's Church, none of them members of the congregation, went with the excursion. Only one came back.*

Mrs. Lena De Luccia, who lives on the top floor front, took her four children, ranging in age from two and a half years to twelve, for the sake of the sail. She persuaded her neighbor across the hall, a young married woman named Sophie Siegel, to join the party. Yesterday morning Mrs. Galefsky, on the floor below, decided to go, too, and took her two young children.

Mrs. De Luccia was the only one who returned.* Her hands and arms were horribly burned. She and her children, she said, were all together on the main deck, near the wheel-box, when she saw the smoke and flames forward. She picked up her baby and, with her other children, crowded to the rail. Men went around, she says, shouting that there was no danger.

Next she remembers a wave of frenzied women and children forced her overboard. She lost her baby and saw no more of her other children. Mrs. Siegel struck the water alongside of her, but she did not see her come to the surface. The Slocum's engines had stopped and Mrs. De Luccia clung to a paddle-blade. As the superstructure burned, the iron got so hot that it blistered her hands. Then a Towboat picked her up.

   He was found washed on the shore with another baby. His clothes were drenched, but they were not torn. And around his neck he still wore the sky-blue ribbon marked in black letters "St. Marcus's Sonntag Schule," which proclaimed me one of the few survivors of the last Slaughter of Innocents.

   In Superintendent Daub's arms he was taken to Lebanon Hospital, where Nurse McCallum, in charge of the children's ward, undressed him and put him in a little white-enameled bed and marked him 144.

   One hundred and forty-four he remained until his other grandmother Augusta tottered into the ward in charge of Nurse McCallum, took one look at him as he lay asleep and took him in her arms.

   But Charles would die 4 years later." Buried Evergreens

"Five Dead in One House.

This picture represents the crepe-hung door of a home, made desolate by the burning of the Slocum. With the exception of the father, August Dippert, who bade his wife good-bye on the morning of the disaster, the entire family was wiped out - mother, wife and three children losing their lives. " (New Yorks Awful Steamboat Horror, 1904)

The image is classic for the traditional way of announcing to anyone who walked by that there was a death in the family. However, the information seems to be incorrect. The name was not usually spelled "Dippert". It was generally spelled Deppert. Two members of the "Dappert" family died in the disaster. Agnes "Dappert" age 61 and Mary "Dappert" age 28 were listed among the dead. Charles, age "10 months", was listed on the city record for 1904 as injured and sent to Lebanon Hospital. No Deppert children died in the Slocum disaster.

Dunn ⚰ ⚰ Hagnebocher ⚰ Irvin ⚰

City record: 2112 3rd ave. - Dunn, Arthur age 4, Julia age 27, Fannie Irvin age 33, all DEAD. Fannie Irvin, age 33 DEAd (a friend of the family, lived with Mrs. Dunn.) Mary Hagenbucher, age 32, Julia's sister, also of 2112 3rd ave also DEAD.

Harry Dunn and his wife, Julia, appear to have been estranged in 1904. He was living in Connecticut and Julia said he was of "dissolute habits". She was living with her son and some female friends in Manhattan. Harry Dunn remarried around 1910. He was listed with his mother and new wife, Emily, in 1910.

According to LDS Mary Hagenbucher was buried in Evergreens Cemetery in Brooklyn. However, Greenwood Cemetery lists Mary Hagnebucher buried 1904-06-20 in Greenwood lot 20701 section 186. Julia and Arthur Dunn buried same day, same lot and section.

Newspaper accounts state Mary Hagenbucher was a clerk at the Astor Library in New York City. She was on the trip with her sisters, Mrs. Julia Dunn (and her son Arthur), Mrs Margaret Molitor (the wife of Adolph Molitor and the five Molitor children, Eva, Carl and Joseph who died and George and Arthur who survived.). See Molitor below. Molitor

In December 1906 the deaths of Mary Hagenbucher, Fannie Irwin and Julia Dunn caused a conundrum. Each had a life insurance policy for $1,000 payable to the other. Since it was impossible to determine who died first it was impossible to determine who received the insurance money.

"Mary made her policy for $1,000 payable to Fannie, and in case the latter died before the former, then Mary's heirs were to get the money. Julia took out a policy for $1,000 and named Mary as the beneficiary, but in case Mary died before she did, then Julia's heirs were to be the legatees. Fannie secured a similar policy payable to Julia, but in the event of her death before Fannie, the latter's heirs were to inherit the amount of the policy."

The insurance company rejected the application for Mary and Julia's policies because there were no eyewitnesses to the accident. The insurance company claimed that it was necessary to prove that Mary did not die before Fannie in order for Fannie's heirs could collect on the two policies to which she was entitled. So the big question was who died first and who was entitled to the money.

Eventually the insurance company paid Mary Hagenbucher's brother, (unnamed) $1,000. The claims of the other heirs were ejected.

To further complicate matters, in 1909 Harry Dunn filed a suit against the New Amsterdam Causality company.

In 1911 The Insurance Monitor and Wall Street Review, Volume 59 reported:

"Justice Miller in writing the majority Appellate Division says that in the case of the death of two or more persons in a common disaster there is no presumption of survivor or simultaneous death. He says it is obvious that the policy was not taken out for the benefit of the heirs of the beneficiary named, and upon its face the policy was procured for the benefit first of the assured's sister and second of the assured's estate or next of kin. In the event of the beneficiary's prior death the policy was payable to the legal representatives of the assured.

The insurance company protested payment to any one on the ground that the policy insured a person against injuries sustained while riding as a passenger in a railroad car, steamboat or other public conveyance provided by a common carrier for, passenger service only. The General Slocum had been chartered for the day by a church organization and the insurance company contends that the chartered vessel did not come under the terms of the policy. The court decides that while the steamboat was especially chartered by an excursion party it was a passenger boat.

Justice Laughlin, who dissents, says the plaintiff is not entitled to recover without proving that the beneficiary died prior to the death of the insured. He agrees that there is no presumption of survivorship between persons who died in a common disaster in the absence of evidence, yet for the purpose of settling rights of property it is presumed that they died at the same time. Justice Laughlin believes that if the sisters perished at the same instant the policy passed to the beneficiary and the burden of proof that the assured survived the beneficiary is on the plaintiff.

The majority opinion says that since the representatives of the beneficiary are unable to prove that she survived, the proceeds if the policy must go to the plaintiff who is suing under the policy itself and not under a survivorship."

It was stated that on account of some "dissolute habits" Julia had decided against making her husband, Harry, the beneficiary of the insurance policy.

Harry Dunn an administrator for the estate of Julia Dunn sued the New Amsterdam Causality Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New york. Based on testimony during the trial in 1911 it would appear that Harry Dunn was not in New York City at the time of the Slocum disaster and he did not know about the insurance policy until several months after the accident.

"Mr. Dunn said that he heard of his wife's death and he came to New York and attended the funeral."

He had gone to work in Connecticut about three weeks before the accident and he was in Green Farms, Connecticut at work on June 14, 1904. He first learned of the disaster from the newspapers the day after it happened. He took the "Boston Express" and came to New York. He claimed that he did no have any "bad habits". In 1911 Harry Dunn said he was a clerk and lived at 312 West 49th street.

Additional testimony indicates that Jacob Hagenbucher sent an undertaker to the the docks at the foot of East 26th street to remove the bodies of Julia Dunn, Mary Hagenbucher and Fannie Irwin. The bodies were to be buried in Greenwood. Jacob Hagnebucher was the brother of Mary and Julia.

Mrs. Bertha Schwartz, a sister of Mary and Julia, and the widow of Louis Schwartz, also testified.

Testimony also indicated that Harry was the son of Emma Dunn.

Julia Hagenbucher married Harry Dunn 26 October 1899.

" JOHN" ENGELMAN'S STORY.

John Engelman, of 425 East Twelfth street, stated that he jumped from the Slocum at Ninety-second street, and that the boat was burning briskly at that time. His story was at first received doubtfully, but later was believed. He says he worked for a number of years on a New York, New Haven and Hartford Eailroad tug, and knows the shore thoroughly. He said: "I saw smoke coming up out of the hold when we were at Ninety-second street. We were right in the opening of Hell Gate and even at that time my knowledge of boat fires taught me the Slocum was no place to stay. The fire must have been going some time then. The smoke was dense. I took hold of my wife and six-year old son and we jumped. I managed to swim, with my wife resting on my shoulders, to the Long Island shore, but I have not seen my son since and I am looking for him. Engelman lost two sisters also in the disaster."

History of the General Slocum

Note: His wife, Louise, died. His daughter, Edna age 5, survived. A son was not mentioned in the city record.

"AMONG THOSE LOST on the General Slocum we note the name of Lottie Sierichs, 425 East 12th street, New York. This was evidently a relative of Bro. Wm. Sierichs, the 12th street bottler, and Bro. Henry Sierichs, the Rockaway Beach bottler, and we extend our earnest sympathy to them and their families."

The New York Times of June 16 listed: FERNEISEN, HENRY, (no age given), 40 7th ave., shock, Lincoln Hospital.

Mrs. Firneisen and two of her children were saved by Patrick Lynch of the NY fire Department. Engineer Patrick Lynch of the New York Fire Department, saved 45 lives during the Slocum disaster. In 1916 he was presented with a gold medal by the congress of the United States for his bravery in assisting Slocum victims. Lynch was off duty the day of the disaster. He was about to go for a swim when off East One Hundred and Forty first street at the East River when he saw the blazing Slocum steaming upstream. He commandeered a row boat and tried to assist those jumping off the burning Slocum. The row boat was too small be of much assistance so Lynch persuaded Capt. John L. Wade of the tug boat Wade (which was in the area) to take the refugees that were in the row boat. He returned to the burning ship where he was "half a hundred women and children holding on" to the paddle wheel. He got another row boat full of women and children and took them to the Wade. He repeated his trip many times.

"Detective Sergeant Henry C Firneisen owes Lynch the safety of his wife and two sic children. When Firneisen heard that the Slocum was ablaze he rushed almost hysterically to the scene, and to his joy, found Lynch had saved those dearest to him.

Firneisen presented Lynch with an inscribed gold chain and watch.

"Pathetic Scene at the Funeral of the FICHBOHMS.

The constrained grief of the neighborhood, fighting for expression which would not out, came near reaching a climax at the funeral of the FICHBORNS, in the Emanuel Chapel, at 735 Fifth street, Manhattan. The husband and father, Peter J., bereft of reason by thoughts of the loss of his wife, Maria, and their daughter, 14 years old, who bore her mother's name, has been with difficulty restrained from self-destruction.

"I cannot speak as my heart dictates," said the Rev. John C. PALMER, rector of the chapel. "It would be foolhardy. Their grief is too intense as it is without recalling sweet memories which would serve only to heighten their sorrow. Mr. FICHBOHM has attempted to make away with himself and needs careful watching until his grief has somewhat abated."

The sorrowing hundreds in the chapel broke down when they heard the sobs and moans of the distracted husband as the bodies of his dear ones were born up the aisle. Women grew pale and faint and some had to be escorted from the church before the service began. Both Mr. FICHBOHM and his wife belonged to many fraternal societies and he was a member of United Brother Lodge No. 356, F. and A.M. Representatives of all these societies attended. The Rev. Mr. PALMER conducted the service."

City Record: Finkenagel 439 6th st - Mary age 10 DEAD - Kate age 34 MISSING, Clara age 8 MISSING, William age 6 MISSING - Kate age 12 to Lebanon

John Finkenagel , a coal dealer, married Kate Wernborn in 1891. By 1904 they had four children. Three members of the Fingeragle/Finglenagle family were listed among the missing. Katie✟ age 34, Clara✟ age 8, William✟ age 6. Kate age 12 suffered injury and was taken to Lebanon hospital., Mary✟ age 10 was identified among the dead. She was buried and then disinterred. This was one of the largest number of missing persons in one family.

John Finkenagel died in 1925. Kate Finkenagel junior married Felix Giraudy, a Cuban, in 1919. The marriage does not seem to have lasted. They had no children. Felix married for a second time in 1927. Kate Finkenagel Giraudy died in 1977.

Kate Finkenagel senior was on the Slocum with her neighbor Anna Geisler. Ann and two of her children also died.

Mary "Finkenagel" 439 6th street age 10 death cert No 3608.

William Finkenagel's body was never identifed. Death certificates were not issued for Katie, Clara and William Finkelnagel.

The New York times of June 16 listed: FINKENGEHE, KATE, 12 in Lebanon hospital

1891: Marriage of John Finkenagel and Catherine Wernborn, 15 June, father Peter mother Marie Weller.

The NY Times reported that in addition to the Finkelnagels at 439 6th street, Mr. Geisler of the same address lost his wife and two children while Mr. Finkenagle lost his wife and three children. They were still missing on June 19 and Mr. Finkenagel's mind "seemed to give way".

Anna "Grissler" age 35, of 439 E. 6th street, Lillie "Greissler" age 7 and Ella "Geissler" age 5 all of the same address where also among the missing.

A "Geisler" child, "a young boy", told reporters that he did not think his mother would return as the last he had seen of her she refused to jump overboard and was standing beneath the place where the deck collapsed. He was knocked overboard and was thrown into the water where a man pulled him to shore.

Note: I do not know who this young man could be as Louis Geissler age 10 of 439 6th street was listed among the dead.

It would appear that these two mothers of small children, living in the same building for a number of years were friends who went on the excursion together and died together along with their young children. One child Katie Finkelnagel age 12 survived. She was listed on the uninjured list.

The City Record of the disaster listed Mary Finkenagel age 10 as disinterred. Kate age 34, Clara 8 and William 6 were listed as missing. Kate age 12 suffered injury, shock or submersion and was sent to Lebanon hospital. It listed Geissler Louis age 10 as identified dead, Ella 5, Lillie, 7 and Minnie age 35, as missing.

In June 2017 Cliff Doerzbacher wrote:

In my family, legend always had it that my great great grandfather's niece and her nanny perished on The Slocum.

Your research points toward a possible correction to our unfortunately not so well known history.

Apparently maybe it wasn't his niece, but his daughter and her children.

Another tidbit of "info" was that Henry's wife drowned herself in the fountain at their Whitestone estate.

No verifiable details but now it makes some sense if losing her daughter and grandchildren was the cause.

My family owned buildings on lower 1st Ave and the East Village and Henry owned a coffee and tea shop on lower 1st Ave.

Eventually the surname was changed to "Doerzbacher".

My great grandfather William bought a bungalow in the early 1900's in Staten Island where the family summered.

The family put down some roots and are Staten Islanders to this day (my dad is 92).

City record: 194 3rd ave, Elizabeth, 16 DEAD, Ferdinand 8 DEAD, Amelia 35, DEAD, George B 10 DEAD

According to his descendent, Georgiana Havill:

"Henry (Heinrich) Foelsing (24) arrived in New York on October 24, 1882 aboard the ss Westphalia from Hamburg, listing his residence as Prussia."

Henry Foelsing married Emile/Amelia Moschen/Mosecher.

They had:

1. William Fredrick, 13 November 1886 died Hawaii 1931.

   In August 2017 Georgiana Havill wrote:

   " William F. Foelsing (dob 1887) lived on to become my great-grandfather and died (1931) a captain in the US Army while leading a hike in Hawaii. Notice of William F. Foelsing's death in the New York Times on Aug 7 1931 stated his birth as 1886. From that, I am guessing that he "aged" himself a year perhaps in order to enlist after he lost his mother and three siblings (leaving his father Henry Foelsing to grieve alone.)"

   William F. Foelsing joined the army at an early age and continued to serve until his death in 1931. He married twice. He had four children (Three boys and a girl) by his first marriage and two daughters by his second marriage.

Eddie Freck 13 of 409 5th street returned home alone and told how he had been saved. He had been with his brother, Charlie, 14, on the lowest deck when Charlie told him the boat was on fire. The fire was all around so they jumped off the boat. Eddie though Charlie was a better swimmer but for some reason Charlie went down and Eddie couldn't get to him. Eddie was pulled out by a man in a "little" rowboat who also rescued two or three women. The boatman also pulled in the body of a baby. He went after two other people who where "fighting" in the water, but did not get to them in time. Eddie was put ashore and took a "car" back home. He then returned to the morgue to look for his brother but did not find him.

Eddie was the son of Henry Frech and his wife Annie. Annie had died before 1900 leaving four partially orphaned sons, Henry Jr., Charlie, Eddie, and John. Henry senior and his three remaining sons, Henry junior, Eddie and John moved to Carlstadt New Jersey by 1910. Henry senior did not remarry. Eddie married and had at least two children.

THE BODY OF MISS EMMA GRIESEL WAS FOUND IN PADDLE BOX - SHE HAD BEEN IN THE WATER NEARLY A WEEK The remains reached Coudersport on a Freight Train on Wednesday Last and interment was made in the Eulalia Cemetery after service in the Lutheran Church

The story was told by Emma's brothers. The family had moved to New York City about a year before the disaster. Frank, Alfred and George accompanied the body but Matilda was not able to make the trip due to poor health "the principle cause of which was the terrible sudden death of her daughter". Emma's body was found in the paddle boat Tuesday morning with a number of other girls who had been in her confirmation class. About a hundred bodies were bought to the morgue that day and the only way to identify Emma was by the clothes and some jewelry she wore.

City record: Anna S age 46, Dead, Gertrude age 13 (disinterred), Dead - E. J. Hansen, age 70 (mother of Anna S Haas) missing - George C. F. age 50 to Lincoln Hospital - Emma age 35 to Lincoln Hospital

Reverent George Haas was the pastor of St. Marks Evangelical Lutheran church on E. Sixth street between 2nd and 3rd avenues.

"One of the most musical pastors in the Lutheran Church is Dr. George C. F. Haas of St. Mark's German Church, on Seventh Street." (NY Times, December 10, 1905)

In 1904 the family included the Rev. George Haas, his wife, Anna✟, and their two children George age 19 and his sister Gertrude✟ age 13, the Reverent's sister, Emma Haas age 35. Nineteen year old George Haas did not go on the excursion. At home he was reached by telephone and told that his parents, two aunts and a sister had perished. In fact, his father and aunt , Emma Haas, had survived but many other family members perished including his grandmother, mother, sister, and aunt.

The Haas house became a center for spreading the news about the disaster.

Newspaper listings: The New York Times listed under identified dead: "Anna Haas, age 5, daughter of the pastor of the church was identified at the Morgue by her uncle." This is an example of the missinformation that was printed and the type of confusion that arose in sorting out the records.

DEAD: "Hana" Haas age 46 64 E. 7th street - Gertrude Haas age 13 64 E. 7th Ave.

Mrs. William B. Tetamore, of No. 1741 Bushwick ave Brooklyn, the sister of Mrs. Haas, was identified by Dr. George H Semken, the family physician by "surgery marks" from an operation he had performed.

City Report: Tetamore, 1471 Bushwick ave. BKl. Sophia E. W. age 31 dead.

The notation on the identification of Mrs. Tetamore would indicate that her face was not recognizable.

During the services for Mrs. Haas the body of her sister had been identified.

"With the authorities assisting in every way the body was at once brought to the house, and an hour later, when the funeral procession started there were two hearses, and the sisters were buried together."

Wife and Two Children Given Up for Dead.

William BOEGER, a happy man, left his home at 910 Putnam avenue yesterday morning with his wife and two children to start them off the excursion. He returned alone last evening, heartbroken, with the news that the body of his girl Florence, 3 years old, had been recovered from the wreck. Then the distracted man went away to seek the bodies of his missing wife and little son Wilbur, 4 years old. All night long and up until a late hour to-day he looked in vain.

There were no more lovable or pretty children in the neighborhood than little Wilbur and Florence. They were general favorites. Florence, known as "Dollie," because she resembled a big wax doll, had big black eyes and black curls, which reached to her shoulders. Wilbur had blue eyes, filled with expression, and true golden hair.

The family formerly lived in Manhattan, and it is there that Mrs. BOEGER's mother, Mrs. Caroline HANNEMAN, lives. It was upon the invitation of Mrs. HANNEMAN that Mrs. BOEGER and her two children went on the excursion. Mrs. HANNEMAN, frightfully burned and injured in other ways, is in the hospital on North Brother Island. She has yet to learn of the fate of her daughter and grandchildren.

Mr. BOEGER is employed as a bookkeeper in Manhattan by a Monroe street firm. He accompanied his wife and children on his way to work as far as Grand street, where he kissed each one in turn and wished them a happy day. At noon, while at his desk, he learned of the catastrophe and immediately departed for the scene of the wreck. He arrived there soon after the body of his little girl had been taken from the water. Later he located his mother-in-law among the injured and from her learned some of the details of the horrible affair.

Mother-in-Law Told the Tragic Story.

Their little party had been on the lower deck. Wilbur wanted to go above and the grandmother, with the child ascended. Then came the flames. Somebody grabbed the boy. She tried to reach her loved ones below. When convinced that mother and child had made their escape Mrs. HANNEMAN leaped. She landed in three feet of water and was pulled out by rescuers. The body of little "Dollie" was found not far away. Mr. BOEGER has yet to learn what fate befell his wife and little Wilbur.

Today kindhearted neighbors are caring for the BOEGER home. There has been a steady stream of sympathetic people calling there, hopeful that the newspaper reports are untrue. No word of encouragement can be given to any of the number, for the anxious husband and father has not returned as he promised, if either of the missing were found. The body of Dollie still lies in a Sixth street undertaking establishment because her father has said that he does not wish to bring one home without the others.

The news of the fate of little Wilbur and Dollie has cast a gloom over the men in the Ralph avenue police station. Wilbur introduced himself and sister there some months ago. He was playing in the street in front of his home when some older boys annoyed him by throwing stones. Suddenly Wilbur took hold of Dollie's hand and started toward Ralph avenue, said: "Come on, Dollie, we will go and see Captain Miles O'REILLY about this."

And the two little ones trudged around to the station house hand in hand. Wilbur question every man in uniform to learn if he was Captain Miles O'REILLY, until finally the pair were ushered into the captain's office. Then Wilbur said: "Captain Miles O'REILLY, there are some very bad boys around on our street, and I wish you would arrest them." Captain O'RELLY smiled, drew the children to his side and said they should not be further annoyed. That is one reason why there is many a heartache near the BOEGER home to-day."

Jacob Hartman lost his wife, Mary✟ and daughter Margaret✟. Daughter, Clara age 11, miraculously survived.

Clara and her mother and sister jumped into the water together. However, upon hitting the water they were separated. When her body was found it was presumed that Clara Hartman was dead. She was laid out at the Alexander Avenue Police station and her body was tagged. Several hours later she moved or vomited and it was realized that she was still alive. She was then taken to Lincoln hospital.

The Hartmans also had a son Jacob and another daughter Mary. Jacob Hartman became a college professor. He died in 1934. Clara Hartman was still alive at the time.

"Perhaps the most remarkable case in the many appalling experiences of those who were on the Slocum was that of Miss Clara Hartman, who was picked up for dead, was towed behind a boat for several miles, was wrapped in a tarpaulin, was tagged and then recovered consciousness. It is now believed she will recover."

On June 17 the New York Times reported that the body found furthest for the scene of the disaster was that of Margarete Heins, age 6 of 300 Front street. The body had drifted 8 miles and was picked up by a New Haven Railway tug near Clinton street not far from the child's home.

City record: 97 Ave A., Johanna 44 DEAD, Louisa age 20 DEAD, Dina age 10 MISSING, Henry age 12 Lincoln, George age 17 taken home, Lucy G age 15 Lincoln

Mrs. Johanna Heinz, age 44, of 97 Ave A and her children, Louise 20, George 16, Henry 12, Dina 10 were on the Sloucm excursion. George and Henry survived. Johanna and her two daughters, Louise and Dina perished. Johanna✟ and Louise ✟ were listed among the dead and Dina✟ was listed as missing. Henry was sent to Lincoln Hospital and George was "take home".

Henry Heinz lost the ability to speak for three days after the incident. When spoken to he would just cry. He did tell his father that he had climbed a pole to the hurricane deck and then fell into the water where he was picked up by a man in a rowboat. His brother George leapt from the hurricane deck. He hit the bottom head first but was able to swim ashore.

Henry Heinz, oyster dealer and his wife, Johanna had 4 children by 1904. Mrs. Heinz and two of the children died in the Slocum disaster.

George, age 17, survived and was much quoted in the paper. He was even quoted in Munsey's Magazine.

George "Heinze" "18" of 97 Avenue A asserted that the deckhands and employees of the Slocum acted cowardly. He claimed when the panic started they did nothing to try and calm the hysteria but immediately jumped overboard. The Captain and several others in uniform did remain on the upper deck.

George jumped in the water and headed towards Brothers Island which was about 50 yards away - "it seemed an awful long swim with one's clothes on". He spotted a young girl of six or seven floating near him and calling for her mamma. He made an effort to grab her but the currant was too strong. He was pulled in at the island by a man with a garden rake. His mother, brother and two sisters were missing.

Another articles says seventeen year old George Heinz of 97 Ave A was pulled ashore at North Brother Island by someone extending a rake to him. He claimed the deckhands on the Slocum were grabbing all the good life preservers and pushing women and children aside to do so. George became separated from his mother and sister and was forced overboard by the flames. He was a considerable distance form the shore but managed the swim. At one point he caught a little girl with light hair and blue eyes wearing a brown dress with a string of beads around her neck. But the current was strong and he could not hold on to her.

June 17, 1904: The New York Times of June 17 reported that two friends of Mrs "Hines" of 97 Avenue A "found her body so badly burned they could not recognize a single feature, but a shoemaker whose name was found on the inside of one of her shoes made the identification." Later the identification was confirmed by her husband "by the fillings in her teeth". Mrs. "Hines's sons, George 16 and Henry 12 survived. But as of June 17 two daughter's Louisa age 20 and "Dinal" age 10 had not been found.

13-year-old Henry Heinz was stricken dumb after escaping the ship (NY Times).

Deaf Mutes Journal June 23, 1904:

BOY STRICKEN dumb Henry Heinz 13 years old escaped from the disaster "in some way or other" however, he was not able to speak since his rescue.

"He had been though dead until yesterday noon, when he walked into his home, at No. 97 Avenue A., and tried to tell his father and brother the story of his adventures, but he could utter nothing but inarticulate sounds." It was said he had been struck dumb with horror."

George had escaped by swimming to shore where a farmer with a rake pulled him ashore. He then tried to return to the water to try and drown himself in his emotional agony. He remembered seeing a little boy with golden curls looking up to heaven as he watched in dismay the boy was consumed in flames his face melting like wax. For George everything went black and he felt himself going "down, down, down" in the water. Mrs. Heinz's body was identified by her husband in the morgue on June 22. The two girls were still missing.

Other relatives with the party were: Mrs Peters, an aunt, who was still missing, Mrs. Hannah Ludemann of White Plains, an aunt and her two sons who were all rescued by a tug, John Schoenemann, an uncle still missing.

1904: Indianapolis News - Jun 17, 1904 Henry Heinz age 12 was dumb due to the ordeal he went through. He and his brother George stood on the middle deck until it became too hot. Then they jumped into the water. Henry held the paddlewheel and was rescued by a man in a tug. George declared that his mother and aunt had been robbed of diamonds and valuable jewelry. He said his mother had a valuable diamond brooch and his aunt had two diamond rings which were missing after the bodies were found.

"Funeral of Boy Hero. The HENCKEN family at 169 South Second street will conduct funeral services over the remains of Charles HENCKEN, the 18 year old son, who lost his life after saving Anna FREESE of Houston street, Manhattan. The mourning family delayed the funeral in hopes that the body of his mother, Mrs. Lucy HENCKEN, might be recovered. The family, including the daughter, Lucy, 15 years old, who was saved through the efforts of August LUTJEN, Jr., were together on the upper deck when the panic came and were separated during the mad rush. Nothing was seen of Mrs. HENCKEN and it is not certain whether her body is in the river or pinned in the wreckage of the steamer. Members of the family have closely examined the unidentified dead but have been unable to find any trace of the missing woman." (BDE, June 17, 1904)

The History of the General Slocum disaster called Lucy Hencken age 15 of 162 South Second Street Brooklyn an example of "childish heroism". When the fire started Lucy left her mother on the hurricane deck believing she would be save there and went in search of her brother, Charles. She found three babies lying on a floor in danger of being trampled. She carried the babies one by one to her mother. And then returned to the search of her brother. Before she could reach him the fire intensified. She retreated to the upper deck where she could no longer find her mother or the babies. Unable to remain on the burning boat any longer she jumped and was saved by the tugboat Theo.

June 15, 1904, BDE

"Brooklyn Woman Saved, but Lost Her Relatives

Later information proved that this person who was rescued by the Theo was Miss Lucy HINCKEN of 169 South Second street, Eastern District. She was pulled out of the water by William MAJOR of the Theo, and was taken directly to the hospital at North Brother Island, suffering from immersion, and half crazy over the loss of her mother, Lucy, and her brother Charles, both of whom also lived in the Eastern District. Lucy regained sufficient composure later to tell her story to an Eagle reporter. It was as follows:

"I was in the boat with my mother and brother. We had been invited by some friends to go on the excursion. We were all together when the boat took fire. The first intimation we had of it was by the shouting of the people, the smoke that came from the front of the boat and the panic.

"My mother was not very well and I took her up on the very top deck, where I put her in a corner near the back of the boat, where I thought she would be save. I had lost sight of my brother Charlie in the meanwhile, and I ran back to see if I could find him and to discover, if I could, a way to get off the boat.

Woman Tried to Save Three Little Children

"The captain seemed to be running her to the land then. When I got down to the deck below I saw three little babies lying on the floor. They had been trampled on by the people. I don't know how I did it, but I gathered the little babies and carried them to where my mother was. Then I went back to find Charley. I caught sight of him once, but then I lost him again, and the crowd drove me up to where the fire was burning.

"I must have lost my head. I do not know what I did, but I think I started for my mother, but couldn't find her. She was gone, and so were the three babies. Maybe I went to the wrong part of the boat, but I could not find them. It was awful. People were running all over and did not seem to know what to do.

"Charlie was gone, mother was gone, and there was nothing for me, so I thought I would jump overboard. I could not swim. I didn't want to swim. All I wanted was to die. But I was taken off and put in a boat and carried here. I think Charlie and my mother are both dead."

Another report on the family under the name HENKEN:

"Daughter Rescued, Mother and Brother Lost Another house of mourning was that of Mrs. Lucy HENKEN, at 169 South Second street. Mrs. HENKEN was accompanied by her son, Charles, 19 years old, and her daughter, Lucy, 15 years old. The latter was rescued after she had been forced to leap overboard, by a young man who sustained her in the water until both were rescued. She does not know the name of her rescuer.

The body of the son Charles was identified in the Morgue, but Mrs. HENKEN is missing. The rescued girl was credited in the early news of the disaster yesterday with having saved the lives of two children, but this she denies. She was searching for her mother and brother during the panic, when she was forced to leap into the water by the young man. She was taken to the Lincoln Hospital, but was able to return home last night. She was still suffering from the shock this morning."

and further on in the same article

"The HENCKEN family at 169 South Second street will conduct funeral services over the remains of Charles HENCKEN, the 18 year old son, who lost his life after saving Anna FREESE of Houston street, Manhattan.

   Policeman Edward Schnitzler of the Brooklyn Squad goes by the name of " Hard-Luck Schnitzler " by his comrades because of the misfortunes he has had. His first wife and three children were lost in the General Slocum disaster. Yesterday he was almost killed by a trolly car while on duty. He had stepped out of the way of one car and walked directly in front of another. He was struck by the wheels and crushed against a supporting pillar. The motorman, Michael Allen, applied the brake as hard as he could, stopping the car when Schnitzler's body was within five inches of the wheels. He was removed to the Hudson Street hospital where it was said that his condition was serious."

Holthusen/Halthusen/Halphusen ☀ ☀

City record: 138 2nd ave - John age 58 and Clara age 25 uninjured

As reported by the NY Times John "Halphusen", age 58, was the sexton at St. Marks. He was on the boat with his daughters, Mina "age 12" and Clara "age 10". He placed his daughters on the top of the paddle box and kept them there until the tug Sumner picked all of them up. He stated that the crew seemed very disorganized and unfamiliar with the life rafts and lifeboats.

This would be John Holthusen, whose daughter Clara was 25. Mina was actually Wilhelmina Hayden age 23 a "stepdaughter" of John Holthusen.

Every family in St. Marks lost immediate family except that of John Holthusen wh was the sexton of the church and the principle of the school. Mr. Holthusen and his two daughters were save through "what they consider a miracle". (NY Times June 26, 1904)

Miss Ida Hayden, a stepdaughter of John Holthusen, Superintendent of the St. Mark's parish school, stated that all of a sudden everyone was rushing to the starboard side of the boat. The railing gave way and hundreds of women and children and a few men fell into the water "which was black with human forms packed so densely that we might have stepped out and walked over them as on a floor." Most of those in the water did not know how to swim and appeared to make little effort "to save themselves form sinking." There were no life boats and almost no one had on a life jacket. The life jackets ripped open and cork was spread all around the deck. The tug Sumner threw a rope to the Holthusens and pulled them onto the tug.

John Holthusen made comments to the press on several occasions regarding the Slocum. The Chicago Tribunes of June 16, 1904 quoted him as saying the crew was badly disciplined. He claimed it was only too plain they had never had a fire drill, that the fire hose was of the poorest quality, the couplings were worn and the water poured out of the joints, and the hoses, in the end, were absolutely useless.
