Nevertheless, the railroad was good for the Parish, and Leopold and Henrietta may have attended the celebration in September 1857. Henrietta was in the last months of pregnancy at that time. Many people moved to Madison Parish, both white and slave. In 1840, the white population of the parish was 1,210 and the black population was 3,923; by 1860, the whites in Madison Parish numbered 1,293 and the blacks, 9,863. There were also roads in the Parish, dirt roads that were dusty in dry seasons and muddy axle-deep in wet seasons. Plank bridges lacked railings to prevent horse-drawn vehicles from falling over the sides.
One of the old towns in Bavaria was Gunzenhausen, a town established in 1349. In the late 1700s, one family living in Gunzenhausen was the Jewish family of Loew Rau and his wife Jannet. Loew Rau was a Levite, so he is named in some records as Loew Levi. He was also called Loew Joseph or Loew ben Joseph, which means, Loew the son of Joseph. Jannet Rau, also called by the Jewish name Schoela, had a maiden name of Ziegenheimer.

In July of 1828, little Joseph, 3-year-old son of Simon and Bessla, died. Two months later, on September 26, 1828, Bessla and Kehla’s sister Feila, called “Fanni,” married Simon in Bibergau. Described in the Bibergau records as the widower of Bessla and Kehla, Simon was now 38 years old. Simon and Fanni’s household numbered five, with three children, namely, Lazarus , 12 years, Isaac, 6 years, and Carolina, 1 year old.
Low Rau possibly died before 1818, as a grandson was named for him in 1818. Henrietta likely never knew or could remember any of her grandparents. Loew and Jannet had sons named Moses and Jacob and daughters named Bessla, Kehla and Feila. In 1880 most of the inhabitants of Milliken’s Bend relocated to a new site one mile west of the old town, due to encroachment by the river. The original site of Milliken’s Bend has ceased to exist since the last family left in 1916. The Joe Witherow family left the “old” Bend in 1910, the next to last family to leave.

By 1816, Bibergau had a population of 499, of whom 131 (26%) were Jews. Such as, for example, patterned high-grade gold oreshoots in hydrothermal quartz veins that are stable enough to be sawed and polished. The gold in those oreshoots typically consists of about 90% pure gold and 10% pure silver, depending on where the specimen was mined.
He was so comforting and above all, caring and understanding. On behalf of my family, I want to publicly say to him and those who work with him "Thank You". I Just want to say how Thank You seems so inadequate for the support and assistance that they showed our family.

Bavaria was one of the main regions from which Jews came to America, and Bibergau was one town from which Jews left. By 1867, among 549 population of Bibergau, only 91 Jews (17% of the population) remained. At this time, in fact from the 1820’s to about 1880, Jewish immigration into the US almost entirely was made up of immigrants from Germany. Bibergau, which means “Beaver District,” is a few miles east of the larger town or city of Wurzburg, in Bavaria. Wurzburg had been a principal Jewish community since the year 1000 CE.
Lizzie Reed and Thomas Staten saw the Union boat take the flat boat loaded with corn being brought from Island 102 to Milliken’s Bend. Thomas Staten, who was in his twenties during the war, said that “during the war when Mrs. Bauers moved over onto the island, some of us followed her over there to be with her. She was a woman that worked hard herself; she would wash and iron and cook and milk her cows and work in the garden or field if it was necessary. She was not like most the white ladies around here.” Thomas Staten lived on Henrietta’s place on Island 102 for 2 years. She had told him that she would not have slaves, everybody had a right to be free.

Since Simon was about 30 at the time of his marriage to Bessla, the question arises whether Simon, like Bessla, had been previously married.

The construction of the railroad, on which trains were regularly running to Monroe, Louisiana, over 75 miles of track, ceased in 1861. When the Union army came to the area, the Confederate army destroyed the tracks to Monroe in order to prevent the Union army from using it. For their part, the Union army burned the railway stations at Tallulah and DeSoto, Louisiana, the town across the Mississippi River from Vicksburg. Incidentally, household #46 in the village of Milliken’s Bend was that of Dr. Henry Wirz, a physician born in Switzerland. The construction of this railroad was ultimately disastrous for the future of Milliken’s Bend because the train did not run through the little port town.
Henrietta, widowed when she moved onto Island 102, was just 32 years old, and her daughter Bettie was about 5 years, Jennie, 4 years, and her son Louis, about 2 years old. Bessla did not survive Joseph’s birth, and died on June 23, 1825, at age 37. Simon and Bessla had been married for just four years. Simon was left a widower with four children, namely, Lazarus , 9 years, Low , 7 years, Isaac, 2 years, and Joseph, a newborn infant.
In the years before the Civil War, the western movement was in progress, aided by steamboats on the Mississippi River. From its beginning in 1811, steamboat traffic on the Mississippi River steadily increased. Gertrude Philippsborn, a local historian of the Vicksburg, Mississippi, area concluded that people moved to Millikin’s Bend because it was the big harbor for Vicksburg and money was made there. Many Jews took part in the 1848 revolutionary uprisings in Germany.
