Note: John H. and Elva Oeding Koenig Wedding
Written and contributed by Jon Todd Koenig
On Tuesday, January 24, 1933, Elva Marguerite Oeding married John Henry Koenig at Philadelphia Lutheran Church, Swiss Alp, Texas. Pastor Dodzeweit(sp) was the preacher who performed the service. The marriage was at 6:00 p.m. The official witnesses were Robert (Bob) Koenig and Herman (Sam) Koenig, brothers of the groom. Elva was 20 and Johnny was 24. Elva's older brother, Felix Oeding, had just married Lillie Kainer in October of 1932. Elva's younger sister, Mae Oeding and her younger brother, Archie (then age 13) were also there. In addition to the two Koenig brothers, Bob and Sam, who were witnesses, so far as is known, all of the other Koenig brothers and sisters were also there. Elva remembers her Grandmother Louise Mueller Oeding being at the wedding as well as Tante Elise Oeding, Uncle Louis Oeding and other aunts and uncles. The parents of the groom, John August Koenig and Mary Klaevemann Koenig, as well as parents of the bride, Paul Edwin Oeding and Margaret Munke Oeding were present. Elva had a very pretty wedding dress which she and her mother Gretchen Oeding bought from Hilda Brossman. One humorous problem was discovered later. The dress had a V-Back, which Mrs. Brossman somehow thought belonged in front, So Elva was fitted with the dress with the V-Back in front She wore the dress backwards � but modestly had the seamstress put lace in the V. Some years later Mrs. Brossman redeemed her mistake by finding baby Rodney (who had left the safety of sleeping under a dance hall bench in Grandmother Gretchen Oeding's care and then wandering out on the Freyburg Dance Hall floor when his Grandmother wasn't watching) among the Freyburg dancers and bringing him back to his parents.
After the wedding at the Swiss Alp Lutheran Church, the wedding party went to the bride's parents' home, the Paul E. Oeding home, at Freyburg for a wedding dinner. A Shivaree was performed for Johnny & Elva at the Paul Oeding house after the wedding. Noise from hitting plows, sweeps, washtubs, pots, bells and other noise was merrily started by many, including Marguerite Grasshoff (later to marry Reynold Krischke), Rudolph Misch and others. A Norther blew in after the wedding so a taste of winter was very evident that night.
Prior to a wedding, a bride would work on her hope chest, and Elva Oeding was no exception. She had towels, pillow cases, (embroidered and crocheted) and other linens in the hope chest. It apparently was customary for the bride's parents to provide furniture for the couple. The Paul Oedings went to the furniture store known as Reichert & Kneip and bought a bedroom vanity, chest of drawers and bed, as well as a table and six chairs, all of which Elva & John Koenig are still using fifty years later. Furthermore Paul Oeding's brother, Louis "2 J" Oeding made a kitchen cabinet for pies and other items. This cabinet is still located in the garage today. A wood cook stove was donated by the sister of the groom's mother, by Aunt Callie Klaevemann Hertel. The stove had a small hole, which was covered to keep it from smoking but which worked well. A green pitcher still seen on Elva Koenig's table was probably in the hope chest. Since the young couple would begin farming at O'Quinn, they each received one dozen chickens from each set of parents. The Oeding family contributed a dozen Rhode Island Red chickens with the Koenig family giving a dozen white chickens. The couple also probably had two cows and one little mule named "Molly."
John H. Koenig also had his 1929 Ford Model A Sport Roadster, which had a Rumble Seat, which he brought into the marriage. The Roadster had a small airplane propeller which a neighbor of the elder Koenig's, namely Ernest Romberg (a descendant of the famous poet), had whittled and which was put on the radiator of the Model A.
The young couple moved on a farm at O'Quinn which was owned by the groom's parents Mr. & Mrs. John A. Koenig, purchased from a Loessin estate, and which was rented to the young couple on a sharecrop basis. While they spent the first night at the Paul Oeding place, they soon moved to their own home, and on Thursday, January 26, 1933, they were introduced to a second dose of Shivaree at O'Quinn, with Arthur Haas, a neighbor leading the merry noisemaking for the embarrassed newlyweds. The O'Quinn house was a three room house, having a kitchen, living room and bedroom. A small pantry was on the southwest corner of the kitchen. The bathroom was a "one-holer" way out back of the cottonseed house a good ways from the main house. In winter when Northers came, trips to the out-house were infrequent. In fact, one Sears catalogue would last all year. Many of the implements used initially were borrowed from family and neighbors.
The first crop was cotton and corn (with plenty of cockleburs thrown in on the southwest field next to Luck's place and the Bretting place), with some chickens and cows to raise. The first dog was probably Ranger, which came from Ed Russeh in about 1934. Old Ranger turned rabid and caused Bill Koenig to have to take rabies shots. The water was quite a chore itself. The O'Quinn well was about 133 feet deep and had to be pumped by hand. The windmill wasn't bought until 1937 (and put up the year Grandpa Paul Oeding died in 1938) from old Squire Vogt for $65 for a cistern, windmill, pump and all. The first asking price on the windmill was $100, but John H. Koenig said that was too high. Then Squire Vogt offered it for $75 but Johnny Koenig said it was still high, but Johnny offered $65, with the Squire hollering "Sold!" immediately.
Another interesting sidelight to the wedding of Johnny and Elva is the honeymoon. Since they were farmers, they had to get the crops taken care of first. So the Honeymoon didn't happen until the fall of 1933, after all of the crops were in. Then a young sister of the groom, a good-looking blond girl, Hattie Koenig, got to go on the honeymoon (which was a number of months late) with Johnny and Elva, on their trip to Galveston, Texas. The trip to Galveston was made in the 1929 Model A Sport Roadster with the Rumble seat. Whether or not Hattie had to sit in the Rumble seat all the way to Galveston is a question we should ask her.
