Oscar Niemeth and daughter, Leila Niemeth Tweed. Hip Hop Ball. Oscar Niemeth had his hip replaced at the St. Francis Hospital in San Francisco in 2000 at age 90 years.
The hospital had a "hip-hop" Ball on Halloween to celebrate all the knee and hip replacements done during that year. We all dressed in costume. Leila, his daughter, made Oscar his hat and emblem from a brown grocery bag. Leila had made the dress she had on for a previous costume party. I went as his nurse. All he wanted to do was dance again -- and he did, with the Dr. standing behind him in case he became unsure of his step. That's full service health care! Oscar was 90 years old when the doctor told him he was well enough for a hip replacement and should go ahead with the operation if he didn't want to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. That's all it took!!

Biography

Eighteen generations of our family tree appear in "Ancestors of Virginia Lavonne, Dorothy Louise, Greta Elberta, Dittman Becker, William Shelvy Jr, Genevieve Maxine, and Robert Dale Milbourn," Researched and compiled by Doris Nelson Sloan, 2004, 102 pages, in the possession of Leila Inez Niemeth Tweed

Leila grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and attended grade school in a small town, Petaluma, California. High School at Sequoia High School in Redwood City, as well as Woodside High School in Woodside, Ca., and South San Francisco High School in South San Francisco, C.

Oscar Niemeth and Genevieve Milbourn Niemeth raised their four children in the San Francisco Bay Area moving frequently to live close to Oscar as he was building his tugboat business, Oscar Niemeth Towing, Inc.

After marrying George Tweed and living in San Diego, we decided to move to the High Desert of California and run a glider port, El Mirage Soaring Center. In 1975, after several years of turning your avocation into your vocation we decided to move back to San Diego to raise our son, Kevin.

Leila is the grandmother of 2 beautiful grandchildren.

Growing up, I always had a camera in my hand waiting for a photo opportunity. I'm now bringing the past generational photos of our family into the visual stories to share with our next generation.

Writing your own bio seems to be the most difficult, --- so...to be continued ---

My Great Great. Grandmother was born in Kappelrodeck, Baden, Germany. Her mother’s family name was Walterspiel, She married a Mr Bohnert. He was a musician trained in symphony orchestras, and mastered 7 instruments. We only know him as great grandfather Bohnert. His wife Walterspiel (Bohnert) died giving birth to a daughter Martina. When that happened Great Grandfather Bohnert settled his affairs, and moved to New Orleans America. He left Martina Bohnert to be raised with family, I believe in Kappelrodeck because she would tell my mother stories of living and playing at the river that goes through the town. Martina came across the Atlantic by boat at the age of 14. I would love to know Martina’s mother’s name and also her birth Family’s tree. If any information on Great Grampa Bohnert would be welcomed.

Thanks Leila for your contributions. Between my hubbys health and some other devastating things, i haven't been able to get to work on this. I am planning to try to schedule some time each day to get back to work on things I enjoy.
