Our cousin Frank M Schoendorfer sent me an autographed book called "Images of America JERSEY SHORE" written by his lifelong friend Wayne Welshans. Frank introduced me to Wayne one day over lunch in Jersey Shore this summer. Wayne gave me some of the photos that I have posed in this group.
Jersey shore is where Karl Herman Mosch's daughter, Anna Mosch and her husband Frank Schoendorfer settled and raised their family. Frank was born in Austria in 1867, studied at the Vienna Music Conservatory, and immigrated to the US in 1887. In his early career he was baritone soloist for John Philip Sousa's band and in 1911 took charge of the New York Central Band in Avis. He made it one of the finest bands in the east. He retired from the railroad in 1932 and became music instructor and assistant conductor of music at Mansfield and played with the Williamsport Symphony Orchestra.
This photograph from Wayne’s book shows Frank, his sons Frank Ludwig and Carl Mosch Schoendorfer and son-in-law Francis Drew Coates. Also in the photograph is my maternal grandfather, Egbert C McElroy, husband of Hertha Mosch. Anna Mosch was Hertha’s Aunt.
