August 16, 1824: Son of George and Catherine HARRISON

HARRISON, GEORGE (?-?). George Harrison, one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists, received title to a sitio of land in the western part of what is now Brazoria County on August 16, 1824; there he established a plantation. In October 1824 he signed a petition for appointment of a surveyor in the San Jacinto area. He was living in the Cedar Lake section in October 1825, when he asked Austin to come there to treat with the Karankawa Indians. The census of 1826 classified Harrison as a farmer and stock raiser, aged between twenty-five and forty. He had a wife, Catherine, and two sons, one of whom, Andrew Jackson Harrison, was killed in the battle of the Alamo.

August 16, 1862: The Battle of Lone Jack

On August 16, 1862 Quantrill took a group of his men back to

Independence to grab as much loot and supplies as they could carry off. He left

strict orders for Hallar to keep Todd and the rest of the men in camp while he

was gone. This seems a strange order because Quantrill knew that a battle at

nearby Lone Jack was about to begin. Some historians believe that Quantrill

felt overshadowed by all of the high brass and had no desire to take orders as a

mere captain with little or no power to act on his own. The need to secure the

supplies left at Independence offered him an excuse to make himself absent.

Later that day Col. Hayes, Col. Thompson and two other recently arrived

Confederate regiments consisting of about 1,400 men attacked 800 Missouri

Union Militia troops under the command of Major Emory Foster behind

fortifications at Lone Jack. It was a bloody, vicious battle. For a while, it

seemed that the Union troops were winning. In desperation, Colonel Hayes sent

a courier to Quantrill’s camp ordering Quantrill to reinforce the Confederate

units. Hallar, unwilling to disobey Quantrill, refused to go. Hayes sent a second

urgent demand for help and finally William Gregg convinced Hallar to act.

Quantrill’s group moved to join the battle. Cole Younger and several others,

including Sim Whitsett, made it to the battlefield just in time to participate in

the fighting. The armies fought mostly on foot along a skirmish line and neither

side was able to advance. As the Confederates began to run out of ammunition

Cole Younger rode his horse along the front line, under heavy fire, minnie balls

whizzing by his head, distributing ammo to the embattled Confederate soldiers.

He slung a basket over one arm, held his reins in his other and tossed

ammunition to the soldiers on the front line as he rode by. Colonel Hayes

finally ordered Cole to dismount or the Colonel himself would shoot the horse

out from under him. When Cole dismounted, the Federal troops raised a

rousing cheer for him showing their admiration for his bravery. If Cole Younger

had been a soldier in the regular Union Army he probably would have won a

medal, perhaps even the Medal of Honor. Even the enemy documented his

brave act and years later it was testified to by former Union officers in regards

to outlaw Cole Younger’s character.

Finally, the Rebels captured Major Foster, the Federals retreated and

the Confederates won the battle. As the captured Foster lay wounded on his

cot, a guerrilla entered the tent and threatened to shoot him. Younger entered

the tent, grabbed the guerrilla and threw him out. Major Foster so trusted

Younger that he asked Cole to take the $700 he had on him and deliver it to his

mother in Warrensburg, Missouri. Cole kept his promise and years later Foster

was one of Younger’s most ardent supporters during Cole’s effort to gain a

parole and pardon from prison. One wonders what happened to this honesty

after Cole took up with the James brothers after the War.[12]





August 16, 1864”: William McKinnon Goodlove, on March 7, 1864 enlisted in the Union Army, K Co. 57th Inf Reg. in Ohio at the age of 18. Battle at Atlanta, Georgia on August 16, 1864.[13]

August 16, 1907: A synagogue of unknown age was present in Werneck. She was the center of Jewish community life in the place until around 1900. After the dissolution of the Jewish community in 1904, the synagogue was closed. The made of sandstone and in oil paint Aron-HA Kodesh (Tor ash clean) the synagogue Werneck went to the 1906/07 newly built synagogue in Geroda, which was solemnly inaugurated on August 16, 1907. In the destruction of the Interior of the synagogue in Geroda is likely to have been destroyed probably the Wernecker gate buchserstrasse clean.

Address/location of the synagogue: the grounds behind the present building Schönborn Street 3 (former main road 23)

The former synagogue in Werneck from demolition 1976 (preserved by Manfred Fuchs, Werneck)




To the photo above notes by M. Fuchs with a description of the situation today: "the high building far left still stands, in apartments and a shop are housed at present (2008)." The hidden building also stands in the background also still (today Schönborn road 3). The building in the Center is the House where the synagogue was once housed (address at that time: hauptstraße 23)-it was at the front of the building (Schönbornstraße 3, formerly the main road 22) grown. Most recently it was leased to various private individuals until the cessation approx. 1977-. "The small house under the tree which the former bath house, which was torn down along with the former synagogue."

August 16, 1907







• To the history of the synagogue

• A synagogue unknown age was in Werneck. It was until around 1900 center of the Jewish municipality life at the place. After dissolution of the Jewish municipality 1904 also the synagogue was closed. From sandstone manufactured and in Ölfarbe the seized Aron ha Kodesch (Tora shrine) of the synagogue Werneck came into the 1906/07 again built synagogue to Geroda, which was solemnly inaugurated on August 16, 1907. During the destruction of the interior arrangement of the synagogue in Geroda the Wernecker Tora shrine might have been probably destroyed.


• Address/location of the synagogue: On property inter the today's building beautiful fount route 3 (former main street 23; the synagogue building had the address main street 22)

• The Synagogue from Francis Gottlob’s hometown.



August 16, 1920: Ottilie dutifully heard the objections to the Buck Creek proposal on August 16. After “a careful review and investigation of the merits of all claims and objections,” giving “due regard for the welgfare of adjoining districts and being fully advidsed in the premises,” he overruled them. Ottliewas concerned about whether the proposal met the letter of the law. It did, and he approved the boundaries as they had been specified in the petition filed by the Buck Creekers.” Apparently the tone and tenor of the hearing gave those filing objections no hope that an appeal to the county board of education could meet with success. Ottilie informed the objectors that they and any others who felt like them could more effectively voice their protest by voting against the proposal at the upcoming election. If as many people in the area were opposed to the plan as was claimned by the objectors, then the issue would be defeated.[18]



August 16, 1929: The following day coincided with mawlid (or mawsin al-nabi),[67] the anniversity of the birth of Islam's prophet, Muhammad. Muslim worshippers, after prayers on the esplanade of the Haram, passed through the narrow lane by the Wailing Wall and ripped up prayer books, and kotel notes (wall petitions), without harming however three Jews present. Contacted by Luke, al-Husseini undertook to do his best to maintain calm on the Haram, but could not stop demonstrators from gathering at the Wall. [19]



August 16, 1940

Vichy regulations creating a Doctors Guild limit the practice of medicine to persons born of French fathers.[20]

[21]



August 16, 1942: Cado requests prefects to prepare by August 16 lists of those to be arrested, and he orders them to prevent the emigration of any deportable Jews, evben those possessing exit visas.



Cado’s list of exemptions is relatively large, and when estimates of the numbers of Jews subject to arrest reach Vichy, Bousquet annuls most of the exempt categories to be certain that he can meet the commitment he has made to the Germans.[22]



August 16-18, 1942

The large Radom ghetto is liquidated. Eighteen thousand Jews are deported to Treblinka and 1,500 who resist deportations are shot on the spot. Four thousand Jews are put into a special labor ghetto in Radom.[23]



August 16, 1978: Unrest spread to Tehran when the bazaar was closed by the religious dominated Shopkeepers Association. Troops were out in the streets suppressing disorders. Demands were being made for the rigid enforcement of Islamic law with the closure of cinemas, bars, and night clubs. The agitators opposed television and the emancipation of women.[24]
