He was born June 12, 1888, in the French province of Alsace-Lorraine which had been acquired by Germany following the Franco-Prussian War. He was brought to this country when only 18 months of age and became a citizen because of the fact that his father was a U.S. citizen. He spent the greater part of his life in New York City and for many years was chauffeur for the wealthy Vanderbilt family and made many trips abroad in that capacity. At an early age he acquired the "Treasure hunting fever" which eventually led him to Arizona and ownership of the Vulture Bonanza Mine not far away from the Vulture Mine. Tony spent a lot of time and money on his Vulture Bonanza but did not live to see it become the "bonanza" of which he dreamed. Funeral services were held at 1pm last Friday at the Wickenburg Funeral Home with the Rev. W. Howard Blazer of the First Presbyterian Church officiating. He is survived by his wife Mary and a son whose current address is unknown. See Also: Find A Grave |
