knows? He evidently made a trip to Luxemburg after Mary died and arrivedback in U.S.A. on 25 Sep 1910.
There are two differing stories about why the trips were made back to
Luxemburg:
1. Drew H. claims that it was because Mary was homesick.
2. Pat R told me that Charles had been trained as an accountant and
was doing office work. Supposedly, he became ill after eating raw liver;his Dr. told him to get out into the open and no more office work;
supposedly, the trips back to Luxemburg were made at least in part to
see Charles' Doctor for more treatment of his illness.

died of ruptured appendix, US Navy, WWI in Spain hospital.
This letter would be from George Hertert who was in the U.S. Navy in
WWI. He died in a hospital in Spain; he had come down with appendicitis
on board his ship off the coast of Spain, but the weather was so stormy
that they were afraid to operate; he was finally transferred to a
hospital in Spain for the operation; probably it was too long a wait,
for he died in the Spain hospital. His body was brought back to the USA
and he is buried in Naval Cemetery (I think in Philadelphia, Penn.).Anyway, it's great to get the letter, spelling errors notwithstanding.
Lena Hertert was married to Gilbert Walker; she was one of George
Hertert's sisters. Jim SargentHello Mr. Sargent

also reference a birth of 5/30/1810
Through his diligence, his economy and good behavior, he became a good
innkeeper in Eich. He was the grandfather of Eugene Hertert of Eich, who
carried on the innkeeping business. The nailforge of the gr grandfather was
located on the left side of the August-Laval Street.
In the year 1830 he was elected to the town council of Eich. He was
appointed Burgomeister and held this place of honor until 1839.
Thereafter , he resigned the post but in 1849 he was called to be
the"Schoffen" of the community of Eich which he held until his death in
1861.
Hertert possessed an extraordinary presence of mind and was a patriot
through and through.
the Dutch ggovt. which at this time held the fortification Luxembourg with
Prussian troops, and manifold transactions with him as Eich was joined to
the ring of fortifications, and there were always altercations between the
soldiers of the fortifications and the male inhabitants of Eich.
The soldiers did not treat the inhabitants very kindly and almost every day
produced irregularities. Hertert played the part of an intermediater and that
always with success with either civil or military authorities; he even
succeeded in having Eich declared a neutral zone.
The many and great civil services that Hertert did during his nine year
service-time for the community of Eich and its suburbs were not forgotten
by the inhabitants, and in 1848 he was chosen as delegate to the assembly
which met from the 25th of April to the 28th of July. The inhabitants
renewed their confidence in him when they re-elected him in 1848. Hertert
was from this time continuously a deputy until Nov 17 1857 on which day
the chamber was dissolved.
After this coups-de-tat(sic) Hertert felt himself induced to be a candidate
no more owing to the beginning of German Supremacy. He retired to
private life and died Oct 29, 1863, with the full knowledge of having been
a good patriot and a man of good order who did everything for his fellow
citizens.
In the 1832 we can read in the sanitary reports that Eich was visited by
cholera. At this oppurtunity Hertert purchased all the medical supplies
from his own coffers and helped the inhabitants by advice and deeds to
ease the pest. He did not rest when he heard that one inhabitant got sick
again. He went there himself, called in physicians and paid them. He
provided good meals for the sick which he paid out of his own resources.
To the needy ones, he gave bed clothes and linen, and had their rooms
brought in order.
In view of his voluntary sacrifices to his fellow citizens, Hertert was
distinguished with the gold medal of the Belgian government.A major street is named in his honor and still exists today as MATHIAS HERTERT
