| 432 | How some of Immanuel Tafel’s descendants became citizens of Mexico By Marcia Pears Easterling My great grandfather, Diplom Ingenieur (Dipl. Ing.) Johann Michael Victor Tafel (1843-1914), was one of the sons of Immanuel Tafel. In Dusseldorf, on March 19, 1870, he married Clara Wupperman, who was born in Texas (August 5, 1851-1944? in Freiiburg ) in a place called 'Live-Oak-Hill' somewhere between Seguin and New Braunfels, Texas, to a family of immigrants from the Rhineland. In 1863 Clara and most of her family returned to Germany. I suspect they were not in sympathy with thhe pro-slavery position of Texas, which had seceded from the United States to become part of the Confederate States of America. Victor Tafel was an engineer who specialized in railway construction in Austria, Bulgaria, and Turkey. My grandfather, Victor Otto Reinhard Tafel (Reini), the first child of Victor and Clara, was born in Adrianople, Turkey on October 20, 1971 (d. 1966 in Monterrey, Mexico). I still have pieces of the costume my great-grandmother Clara had to wear when she went to the court of the Sultan with my great-grandfather Victor. According to my mother, when he was five years old, my grandfather was sent back to Germany to live with relatives to begin his education. My grandfather had four younger siblings, two of whom died early. His beloved sister was Margarethe (Gretchen), (born 1879-d. 1955) who married Dr. med Heinrich Ferdinand Erggelet; his brother Victor Eugen (born 1881) became Ordinarius und Ordentlicher Professor fuer Metallhuettenkunde an der Technischen Hochschule in Breslau, Schliesen ; he is the grandfather of Dr. med.Klaus-Victor Tafel of Bayreuth, of Doris von Busekist of Schwaebisch Hall and of Dr. rer.nat. Werner Tafel of Munich, Germany. Like other young men in Imperial Germany, my grandfather had to do military service as there was a general conscription. My grandfather was a gentle soul who detested military service. However, my great-grandfather Victor Tafel was something of a martinet, a very strict pater familias, and some kind of conflict arose between my grandfather and his father, supposedly because Victor punished my grandfather Reinhard for something his much younger brother Victor Eugen had done, and feeling injured pride, Reinhard ran away from home and headed for America. His first stop was apparently Philadelphia where there were both Tafels and Wuppermans. Two of his Wupperman cousins later became famous under their stage names of Ralph and Frank Morgan. Ralph was the founder of Actors Equity, the professional union of American actors, and Frank Morgan became a famous character actor in films, most notably for his role as the Wizard of Oz in the film that immortalized Judy Garland. The Tafels were in a homeopathic pharmaceutical business known as Boericke and Tafel which survived well into the twentieth century. The company was eventually sold to another pharmaceutical which still markets products labeled B and T. Why my grandfather Reinhard did not remain in the United States is not known. I have been told that in 1895 he made his way to Guatemala where he remained for five years. In 1962, I made a visit to Guatemala and completely by chance, I met a woman who climed to have known my grandfather in Guatemala City when she was a very young girl. Sometime around the turn of the century my grandfather moved to Merida, the major city of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. There he met my grandmother, Emma Laura Milke (born August 14, 1876- d. 1956 in Monterrey, Mexico), whose family had moved there from Kingston, Jamaica. However, Emma was born in Brooklyn, New York, but was never again in the United States. When she was in her teens, her father opened a hardware store in Merida which, I have heard, is still in business today. There are still Milke descendants in Merida to this day, but I have never had the opportunity to travel there to seek out these distant cousins. My grandparents Reinhard and Emma Laura Tafel had three children: Victor Otto Reinhard Tafel(August 25, 1906), born in Merida, Helena Clara (Helen or Lenchen) Tafel (January 8, 1909), born in Tampico, and Marguerita Elfriede (Nena) Tafel (December 10, 1910), born also in Tampico. By 1910, my grandfather’s export-import business had prospered, and he took the family to Germany to meet his parents. By then there were two children, my aunt Helen Tafel Willy and my uncle Victor Tafel. I am fortunate to have two family photographs of my great-grandparents, grandparents, great-uncle Victor Eugen and his wife Lotte, great-aunt Gretchen Tafel, (WAS SHE ALREADY MARRIED TO DR. ERGGELET??) and my uncle Victor ; these were taken in Freiburg in 1910. My grandmother was allready expecting her third child, my mother, Marguerite Elfriede Tafel Pears, who was born after their return from Germany. Soon after they must have moved to Veracruz as my mother’s earliest memory was of being taken aboard a German ship in the harbor when the United States bombarded Veracruz in 1914 as a result of the Mexican Revolution and attacks on US interests there. My mother had wonderful stories about my indomitable grandmother who chased away revolutionaries from her doorstep, armed only with a broom and her commanding figure and personality. The family must have moved to Mexico City during or shortly after the end of World War I. There my mother and her siblings attended the German school. They lived in San Angel, perhaps the loveliest of the old sections of Mexico City. My grandfather Reinhard had not sympathized with militaristic Wilhelmine Germany, and he became a Mexican citizen; just when I do not know. By the time my mother was in her early teens, the family had moved back to Veracruz where she and my aunt Helen were educated in a convent school. My grandfather’s investments in Germany were worthless by this time, and so there were no more trips to Europe. My grandfather never saw his parents or his siblings again. In spite of hard times, my grandfather was determined to give his daughters the best education he could afford, so in 1923 or 1924, my mother and aunt were sent off to boarding school at Kidd Kee College in Denton,Texas. Because they could not afford to return home at vacation time, they did not see their parents for two years, but during those two years, they finished four years of high school, after which they returned home to Veracruz. For no more than two years my mother worked at the American Consulate in Veracruz, and the consul and his wife became life-long friends. On December 7, 1930, my mother was married to an American, Henry Phelps Jr.(April 26, 1907 in San Antonio, Texas) who was one of Pan American Airways first three pilots, and they lived in Brownsville, Texas. Through my mother, my aunt Helen Tafel met her future husband, Frank Oliver Willy (March 1, 1902), the father of Emma Moonyeen Willy (Decembember 26, 1932, and Frank (Pancho) Oliver Willy, Jr.(August 17, 1936). My uncle Frank was also from Mexico; his ancestors had moved to Mexico from Louisiana after the U.S. Civil War ended in 1865. On June 29, 1933, my young mother was widowed b but had no children, and, to help her, my grandfather Reinhard arranged for her to go to Germany to meet her widowed grandmother Clara; her grandfather Victor Tafel had died in 1914 in Freiburg, shortly before World War I began. In Germany m my mother also met her German cousins, the children of Victor Eugen Tafel, and became especially attached to Herbert Tafel, the oldest cousin, who was closest in age to her and the father of Dr. med. Klaus Tafel of Bayreuth. Prof. Dr. Victor Eugen Tafel and his family lived in Breslau where Victor taught metallurgy at the university. My mother also spent time in Munich where the American consul and his wife were none other than her old friends from Veracruz. My mother had very happy memories of skiing for the first time in the Black Forest near Freiburg, attending the opera in Munich, visiting relatives in Breslau. Coming from such a multi-racial and multi-cultural place as Veracruz, my mother was deeply disturbed by Nazism, and she grew increasingly uncomfortable in Hitler’s Germany, finally deciding to return home sooner than she had planned. On heher r return, she met my father, Richard William Pears(May 5, 1895 in Buchanan, Michigan-December 25, 1986 in Fairfax, Virginia), thanks to her sister Helen and her brother-in-law Frank, who soon after moved back to Mexico, where they made Mexicico City their home for the rest of their lives. For a little over a year, in 1945-1946, my family and my uncle Victor and his family were also living in Mexico City, and all the American and Mexican cousins, great-great grandchildren of Immanuel Tafelel, became playmates. I have some treasured photos of all 6 of us cousins together then. Sadly, our first cousin Victor Tafel Jr (August 17, 1936, Portland, Oregon)., son of our uncle Victor Tafel, had died of cancer in 1967 in San Antoonio, anand Frank (Pancho) died in Mexico City in June 2006. Now, in the early twenty-first century, Moonyeen, the daughter of Helen and Frank Willy, her children, grand-children, and great-grand-children (and those of her brother Pancho who died in June 2006) continue to live in Mexico as does Patricia Tafel de Cerisola (July 30, 1944 in Mexico City), the only daughter of Victor Tafel , her husband Pedro Cerisola Benvenutti, their three daughters and grand-children. And that is the story of how the Mexican Tafels came to be. | Tafel, Victor Johann Michael (I503)
