In loving memory of Alvie Pauth, the son and third born child of Belle (Mansfield) and Charles Pauth.
As a young man at the age of 18, Alvie worked as a barber. He married Mary Dygert and they had 3 children: Frank Pauth, Geraldine Elizabeth (Pauth) Gugel, and Lucretia (Pauth) Bjers. In 1904 his tonsorial establishment was located at 9 West Main street in St. Johnsville, New York on the second floor of the Southerland building.
Health mattered and was an important part of Alvie's life during the late 1800's and early 1900's. Part of his life's regiment included physical fitness and exercise to stay fit. He often opted to walk to his distination in town no matter how far the distance, rather than drive. He made homemade remedies to treat differnt ailments for himself, and sold them door to door to residents in his home state of New York.
While residing in NY, Alvie was no stanger to the race track. On either the betting side, or the care of the horses. As one of his eldest grandsons recalled and shared with me, Alvie also created homemade remedies and treated race horses at the Saratoga Race Track in NY, and at least one of the horses he treated fell dead under his care. It may never be known if the race horse's demise was due to a fatal injury or illness. Or perhaps by Alvie's homemade concoction to treat the four legged animal that the owner sought out Alvie's attention to treat.
Albeit a serious matter at the time during the late 1800's and early years of the 1900's, a few chapters of Alvie's life was shared with me nearly a century later in a humorus tone, with love and respect by his grandsons. We reached a consensus that Alvie was born "before his time". That at least a few of his life experiences would be more acceptable during the later part of the 20th century.
Nonetheless, I've thoroughly enjoyed learning about Alive from his grandchildren who knew him best. And about our Pauth family history that other related descendants have shared with me over the years. Including my mother.
It remains a mystery to this family historian and others, why the name George Ferguson appears on Alvie's California Death Certificate in addition to his birth name Alvie Pauth. His cemetery records are also indexed with both names. One can only imagine as to the reason why.
In conclusion, the Pauth family had quite a few characters within the family tree. Including Alvie and his brother Miner Pauth. With honor and respect I pay tribute here to them with love and respect that they individually deserve.
