General Notes (Husband)

---

Uncle Mott's name sounds like a "long O" and Long Mott sounds just like saying a mott of trees. I am assuming this was the way my uncle's name was spelled, I know for sure how it was spoken.

National Archives records in Port Lavaca Library shows that Frederick W. Roemer was the first Long Mott postmaster. The next postmaster was Maurice DeCloudt, and tradition is that citizens dropped mail through a slot in the door of his home. The Albert Bierman store was the post office when Mrs. Fannie DeCloudt Bierman was Postmaster. ^6,35

General Notes (Wife)

Shortly after a year this marriage ended in tragedy. When going out to stake a young horse, Lou 's foot became tangled in a rope and she was dragged to death before his eyes. ( Note: she was expecting their first baby, both died). He never married again. ⁶
