PRIVATE CHARLES ALLBRECHT OF AMBULANCE COMPANY, KILLED IN ACTION
FORMERLY A BROOKLYNITE
LETTER WRITTEN TO GRANDMOTHER FIVE DAYS BEFORE DEATH
Memorial mass was celebrated in the R.C. Church of St. Benedict,
Richmond Hill, yesterday morning for Charles ALLBRECHT, of 947 Church
Street, that place, who was killed in action in France on June 6.
ALLBRECHT, who was 21 years old, enlisted in the regular army five years
ago, and was assigned to the 133d Coast Artillery and served on the Mexican
border before he was transferred to Ambulance Company, No. 13 and sailed
for France about one year ago.
He was born in Brooklyn twenty-one years ago and was graduated from P.S.
56. Later he attended Richmond High School. He is survived by his father,
Charles; one sister, Teresa, and his grandmother, Mrs. C. ALLBRECHT.
Five days before young ALLBRECHT was killed he wrote a letter to his
grandmother, describing the wonderful sights when the Americans went over
the top and how German prisoners welcomed a chance to get the good American
army "chow." His letter said:
"My Dear Grandmother It was with great pleasure and joy that I received
your letter, yet I am sorry to say our friend, 'Red,' was wounded in
action, but I am sure that he is rapidly recovering. Grandma, is it not
great the way 'our boys' are hitting the 'Huns?' They just go 'over the
top' for victory. I only wish that I could relate to you the events from
beginning to end, but Censor will not allow it. I think, however, that I
can say that the boys went 'over the top' joyously, with a straight and
unbroken line. It was a wonderful sight, to see the way our boys, all
Americans, charged the Hun and gave him a dose of his own medicine, and I
am certainly glad that I lived to see the things I have. The boys who died
in this battle deserve heaven, for they lost their lives, granny, fighting
for you and their mothers, and the safety of the world. Even the Huns
admired that line, and it was a big victory from start to end, and even
though they sleep in the bloodstained soil of France they will never be
forgotten.
"I dressed a Red Cross Hun's wounds, and it was through him that one of
our boys was saved from bleeding to death, so you see that it is not all
hatred among the Germans for the Americans. We had another Red Cross Hun
that we had taken prisoner. We gave him some hardtack, and he told us that
our meat and bread was better and nicer than the bread they get in the
German army. I have dressed about ten altogether, and some of them, if you
take out your knife to cut bandages, throw up their hand and shout
'Kamerad.' Old Kaiser Bill must have told them some bad tales about us
Americans."

STOCKTON STREET MOURNS GRANNY
MRS. MACWILLIAMS, NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER, DIES IN HOSPITAL.
WAS CHILDRENS FAVORITE.
AGED 102, WAS PROBABLY OLDEST BROOKLYNITE.
Children and grownups who live in the neighborhood of 101 Stockton
Street grieved today at the news that Mrs. Mary C. MACWILLIAMS,
affectionately known as "Granny," was dead. She was 102 years old, probably
the oldest Brooklynite.
The death of Mrs. MACWILLIAMS occurred late last night in Kings County
Hospital where she was taken from her home at the Stockton Street address
about two weeks ago. The infirmities of old age resulted in her removal to
the hospital, despite the pleadings of her neighbors and hundreds of
children who have benefited by her friendship and charity.
Mrs. MACWILLIAMS, who was born in Norway, came to this country more than
sixty years ago. She was married to Robert MACWILLIAMS soon after her
arrival here. When the Civil War broke out MACWILLIAMS bid goodbye to his
wife and enlisted. That was the last time she saw him. He was killed during
the battle of Gettysburg.
For several years Mrs. MACWILLIAMS had lived at the Stockton Street
address. A pension obtained from the Government for the loss of her husband
had been her sole support. Of the small amount gained thus "Granny" always
managed to save out a certain percentage for candy and goodies for the
children who clustered about her every day and especially on Sundays and
holidays. She entertained them with fairy tales and the telling of romances
of days gone by.
Neighbors helped "Granny" with her housework. Mrs. Mary KOPPERNAN, who
lived in the apartments above in the house where she had come to be loved,
was especially willing to assist Mrs. MACWILLIAMS. Two weeks ago the latter
became so ill the Mrs. KOPPERNAN summoned Dr. F. LEVINE, of South Third
Street. After an examination he ordered the aged woman's removal to a hospital.
Shortly before last midnight a policeman from Vernon Avenue station
called at the Stockton Street address and told the tenants that "Granny"
was dead. The news spread rapidly. In a short time a good-sized crowd had
gathered outside the dwelling anxious for more details. The funeral
arrangements have not been made.
