GRACEA The surname Gracea was spell- ed de Graca in the old country, the change being made after coming to America to anglicize the word and make it easier for Americans to pronounce. This change in Italian and other foreign proper names is very common, though it will be the source of many genealogical puzzles in the centuries to come.

SPEIGEL Carl August Speigel was one of many Germans, young and of middle age, who left their native land on account of the military service exacted of them and the consequent destruc- tion of their business and suffering of their families. He came in 1848 on a sailing vessel, and after a tedious and tempestuous voyage, landed in New York City, where he found em- ployment in a brewery. He was able from his savings at the end of a year to send for his wife and children and the family became per- manently located in this country. The sons found employment in due time and the father followed his trade as maltster until the time of his death at the age of sixty-three years. He married, in Germany, Minnie Winter, who came of a highly respectable family of the middle class in Germany. She was an ener- getic and capable woman. Mr. and Mrs. Speigel were both active and faithful mem- bers of the German Lutheran church. She survived her husband about four years. They had two sons and five daughters.

trained to a business career by her father and husband, took charge of the business and con- tinued it with ability and success. She not only conducted the extensive business left by her husband, but has increased it and improved the plant from time to time, to insure the greatest possible purity and wholesomeness of the products. She gives her entire time to the management of the business. Mr. Speigel was one of the most prominent German-born citi- zens of New England.

The surname is of Norman origin, however, and the family is found in England as well as Ire- land for many centuries. He came to this country in 1853, not with others of his family, as many of the Irish of that period came, but alone to seek a better opportunity for himself in the United States. He learned the trade of shoemaker in his native land, and at East Abington, Massachusetts, he found employ- ment at his trade. He was the first Irish Catholic, with the exception of one, Jeremiah Shea, to settle in that town.
