General Notes: DISCUSSION REGARDING THE IDENTITY OF THEO'S PARENTS [revised July 31, 2024]: Our subject was born out of wedlock October 1, 1883, and at the age of five months was removed to the United States and given the name Theodore Henry Hoffmann. His German birth name was: Ludwig Theodor Heinrick Andreas Lankenau.

A Hamburg, Germany, birth registration record was located on Ancestry.com for; Ludwig Theodor Heinrick Andreas Lankenau [birth date and birth place matched that of subject]. Mother's name on record was; Luise Johanna Drescher Lankenau [her Hamburg Death record contained a birth date that matched birth date stated in the Reminder Book and birth place; Osterholz, Germany. She would have been age twenty-two when Theo was born. Father's name was not stated. Luise's mother was Margaretha Dorothea Lankenau, same as listed in the Reminder Book as "Grandma Doris," [her Baptism record was located showing same birth date and birth location Osterholz, same as Luise's birth location]. The Baptism record also stated parents; Heinrich and Metta Lankenau [her NYC death registration record listed father; "Heinrich" and mother; Rebecca"(English for Metta)]. Grandma Doris" would have been age twenty-two when Luise was born in 1861 and is our subjects biological grandmother. Regarding the identity of Theo's birth parents. His Bronx Mariage certificate #1775 dated 16 December 1905 stated father's name Ludwig [last name not stated], mother's name, Louise Ebbighausen.

Regarding "Grandpa" [Ludwig Hoffmann]. A Birth / Baptism record was located stating his true birth name was Ludewig Ebbighausen [German Lutheran Baptisms record located on Ancestry.com. Subject name "Ludewig Ebbighausen," date of birth 24 September 1839, Father: Heinrich August Ludewig Ebbighausen, Mother: Wilhelmine Ebbighausen]. Birth date same as listed in Reminder Book and first names same as listed on subject's 1909 Bronx #153 Death Certificate. Mother's scribbled last name was not decipherable except last letters …fezer [verified as "Schwerdtfeger"]. Additional evidence located on Ancestry.com was a ship's manifest listing a Ludwig Ebbighausen, age 36 [estimated birth year 1839] departing Hamburg, Germany, 23 November 1875, destination New York City. Manifest stated profession "Musiker" (Musician). Grandpa Hoffmann's stated occupation on 1900 U. S. census was, " Music Teacher." To summarize; Grandpa Hoffmann [AKA: Ebbighausen] was the older brother of Carl Heinrich August Ebbighausen father of Theo's future wife, Mathilde Ebbighausen.

This writer could not independently verify the origin of last name "Hoffmann" and believes "Grandpa" and his common-law wife assumed the new last name shortly after baby Theo was entrusted to their care in 1884 as a matter of convenience and to establish a new identity.

DISCUSSION REGARDING THEO AS NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF THE STEUBEN SOCIETY OF AMERICA [revised May 7, 2024]: Theo was well-known in the German American community as National Chairman of the Steuben Society of America. He was also a member of several charitable and social organizations in New York City. The rise of Fascism in Germany during the nineteen-thirties tested the loyalties of the German American community. Steuben Society members tended to be older naturalized American citizens. While sympathetic to German grievances the Steuben Society advocated neutrality. Members of rival Fascist sympathizing organizations drew support from younger Germans who were not American citizens. One such group, "Friends of the New Germany" had recently taken over control of the "United German Societies" that sponsored annual German-day activities.

The rivalry was manifest during the December 1933 annual New York City German-day celebration which was described in a newspaper article as; "an enthusiastic celebration of German Day at the Madison Square Garden before a packed house of more than 20,000 persons". Several prominent Jews were manhandled and ejected from the meeting, speakers were booed and as the German ambassador [Hans Luther] arose to speak, "the audience accorded him a tremendous Nazi ovation. "Heil" resounded throughout the large main hall of the Garden, as Luther stood at the rostrum and rendered the Nazi salute. The tumult had scarcely died down, when a woman fifty feet from the rostrum screamed, "Down with Hitler, down with Hitler!" The cry was taken up in all parts of the Garden, as the surprised audience countered with "Heil Hitler!" Chairman Wieboldt rushed to the microphone and pleaded, "Please, please, give Dr. Luther a chance to speak."
Police rushed to various parts of the Garden and escorted shouting men and women from their seats out of the hall. The band struck up "Deutschland Uber Alles," and the audience joined in singing it."

A newspaper article dated 13 Mar 1934, stated: "Is Theo. Hoffmann Jewish? Steuben Head Won't Answer" stated that Hoffmann refused to deny or confirm reports that he is partly Jewish." The allegation was that he was the son of a Jewish mother and consequently tried to be more German than real 'Aryans" and that this fact is known to many members of the Steuben Society members. Theo denied the Jewish allegation and demanded proof. The allegation, however, cannot be totally ignored. Altona, Germany, at the time of Theo's birth was a major center of Ashkenazic Jewish life and scholarship attracting hundreds of students. This writer's DNA profile [Theo's grandson] does not contain markers to indicate Jewish ancestry, evidence of a Jewish parent was not true.

Theodore Hoffmann and a delegation of Steuben Society members traveled to Germany in August 1934 on the S. S. Berlin. He was accompanied by his daughter Jane. A Google search located: "Documents on German Foreign Policy: 1918-1945 - Page 1115": On October 31, the Führer and Chancellor received the Head of the Steuben Society of American, Mr. Theo H. Hoffmann. Mr. Hoffmann informed the Frührer and Chancellor of the aims and task of the Steuben Society and expressed severe criticism of the behaviour of the Association of "Friends of the New Germany" in America. The local heads of this Association were, for the greater part, young Germans who were not American citizens and who therefore ran the risk of being deported from America because of their political activities. It was also entirely possible that the American government would be compelled to prohibit and dissolve the Association of "Friends of the New Germany." Such a measure would, of course, provide the enemies of Germany in America with new material for agitation against Germany…
Theo went on to tell the Fuhrer that "German Consuls in the United States had accepted invitations to functions of the "Friends of New Germany" and had thus indicated that they were lending this Association moral support." The Fuhrer replied that "he had given strict instructions that National Socialists were in all circumstances to refrain from political activities in the country which was their host" and that the "Friends of the New Germany" were not directed by the German Government.

By 1938 German American public opinion had turned against the Nazi agitators. The celebration of German Day in Madison Square Garden last night [October 2, 1938] became the occasion for an open break between Nazi disciples and those who consider themselves more Americanized Germans in this country.
According to announcements from the platform, the break took the German Organizers by surprise after they recently purged the celebration of the Nazi forces led by Fritz Kuhn and his German American Bund… Several scheduled prominent speakers dropped-out (the German Ambassador was too busy). Theo was equally emphatic in disapproval of what he called "any exhibition of any foreign politics on our shores…" This was a major change from prior years' conferences. Kuhn and his German American Bund dominated the 1936 conference and in 1937 did not speak but was allowed to parade his uniformed storm troopers.

He emigrated in Feb 1884 from Hamburg, , , Germany. ⁷⁸ Theodore may have been removed to the United States by his self- described grandmother, Dorothea Hoffmann. Her Death Certificate dated January, 2, 1894, stated being in the United States for nine years [~1884]. Immigration records not located.

Death Notes: Obituary - Register-Star, Hudson, New York: Dr. Henry Little; Hudson ophthalmologist // HUDSON - Dr. Henry O. Little, 88, of Warren Street died Monday at Columbia-Greene Medical Center.
Born in Concord Calif., Dr. Little graduated from the University of Manitoba Medical College in 1929. He practiced medicine in rural Saskatchewan from 1930 to 1937 and then studied ophthalmology at Moore Fields Eye Hospital in London for two years.
Dr. Little practiced ophthalmology in New York City from 1939 to 1944, when he moved to Hudson and established a practice with his brother, Dr. Robert Little.

He was employed as a member of a survey party for the Canadian National Railway between 9 Apr 1919 and 9 Sep 1919 in Melfort, , Saskatchewan, Canada. He arrived in northern Saskatchewan by train along with other members of the survey party. He and his mother invested almost all the money they had to purchase a canvas sleeping bag and a woolen blanket.

. He worked at a Trust Company beginning about Oct 1919 to 1921 at Winnipeg. He was paid $75 per month which was increased to $90.00. He had the misfortune of cashing two checks for a customer in the amount of $375.00 which bounced. His future didn't look bright because he was required to repay the debt out of his pay. While getting a haircut in Winnipeg, the barber who he previously knew in Elgin suggested he become a doctor and according to his autobiography decided then and there in the barber's chair to be a doctor.

. He said the plan was to take a course in normal school and become a teacher and then teach school and go to medical college on alternate years. He enrolled in a fifteen-week course teaching people to be country school third grade teachers. The course began September 1921 and ended December 1921. After teaching in two different country schools, he was back in Winnipeg the following August. On his first day home he met a MacLeans magazine salesman who had just sold a six-month subscription to his mother for one dollar. They had a discussion and became convinced selling subscriptions was a better way to earn money. He discontinued teaching school and put himself through pre-med and medical college selling subscriptions the next six summers for three dollars a year or five dollars for two years.

. He graduated from University of Manitoba Medical College on 15 May 1929 in Winnipeg, , Manitoba, Canada. ¹³⁴ On the First of June at the graduation exercises at the old Walker Theater Dr. Little was handed his diploma making him a qualified medical doctor. A degree from Manitoba Medical College required seven years of study, two in pre-med at the University of Manitoba, four years at the Medical College and the final year as an intern. Pre-med tuition was $50 per year and medical school tuition was $100 per year. He began at the University of Manitoba in 1922 and in the fall of 1924 entered medical college and in 1928 interned at the Misericordia Hospital.

LITTLE, HENRY OWEN: 26; Record: 1st yr.; 2nd yr., pass. Spent four years at other things, banking, survey parties, Loan Co. etc. Was not attracted to Medicine by financial considerations. Works his way along; sells magazines in summer (Father is a preacher, brother is a banker and helps him some). Thinks he spent too much time in Latin in premed. Zoology most useful. Botany is a biological subject. Has not found Medicine too difficult, studies 2-3 hours a night, 4-5 hrs (nights?) a week. Spends a lot of time in church work (Young Church). Reads McLean's Magazine and the Bible. Thinks the Fundamentalists are hair-brained and all at sea. Is attracted by Pediatrics and General Surgery. A good deal of time is wasted in didactic lectures because there is no practical application of the knowledge thus acquired. Would like to have opportunities of following patients through the whole course of their illness. If it were not for financial handicaps would spend his time in research - say in T.B.

. After graduation he accepted an appointment as Resident Intern in Deerlodge Military Hospital, Winnipeg, and had a few private patients.
After six months there was not much income so he bought a practice in the village of Manitou, a prosperous village a few miles from the border of North Dakota. The practice was slow and he recalled that the better part of his income was derived from selling liquor prescriptions.

While at Deerlodge, with the help of his brother and sister, they purchased a two-door 1929 Ford Model A automobile, however in Manitou once winter had set in, he did country travel by hiring a team of horses and sleigh from the local livery stable.

. His mother had sent him a "Doctor Wanted" newspaper clipping April 1930 for a "municipality" doctor, Wishart, Emerald Township #277, Saskatchewan. He replied and accepted a job one hundred miles north of Regina. Wishart was then a small village founded in 1928. There was no place to practice medicine when he arrived but there was no great need for a fully equipped doctor's office since most of his work was making house calls around the 325 square mile municipality. He did, however, have a small, borrowed office at a grain elevator which was not very convenient, no running water and only a chair and table for furniture. His salary was $375.00 a month and earned a little extra by treating patients outside the municipality and selling pills, tonics, and cod liver oil.

Later the village counselors arranged to have an old meeting house moved to a lot on the main street and to sell him the lot and two adjacent fifty foot lots. It was a rough building about eighty feet square with a potbellied stove. The building did not lend itself very well to being a doctor's office so he had a house-office combination constructed to the rear and used the meeting house as a waiting room. During the next six years he tended to the medical needs of the municipality. He delivered about seven hundred babies as during that time the birth rate was so high that half of the population was under the age of fifteen. He was required to periodically examine over two thousand children and keep them vaccinated. During a cold spell one winter a case of smallpox occurred in the next municipality requiring a rush job getting all the children and others vaccinated. One afternoon he visited a two room country school with 120 students. Two seventh grade girls swabbed arms with alcohol while he vaccinated. He had to work fast because his teamster had to keep the horses moving in the forty below zero weather (there was no barn). He finished the job in one hour.

Social life was limited but he did keep the company of a pretty doctor's daughter named Marjorie who lived in a village about forty miles away. They met in December 1930. She was seventeen and played the piano and they went steady for about five years. There was not much to do; they went to country dances, sang a few songs at her home, drove around the country, etc. In December 1940 he visited her in Vancouver.

He would send money home to Winnipeg to support his mother and brother Robert who was attending Manitoba Medical College. When Robert graduated June, 1936, the need to send money decreased. Desiring to get away from the edge of civilization, he resigned his position at Wishart and returned to Winnipeg with the intent of starting a practice there without much success. For three months however, he was a private intern at the Winnipeg General Hospital. On September 15,1936, he left Winnipeg for England to study ophthalmology. He went back to Wishart in 1978 for the town's centennial celebration and was greeted as a "special guest".
.
At the 1931 Census of Canada he was age 30, employed as a municipal doctor, $5000 annual income, enumerated at the hamlet of Wishart, Saskatchewan. ¹³⁵ Also enumerated at residence [probably as visitors] were his mother, Emily Marie Little, age 60 and brother Robert Herriot Little, age 27, a Manitoba college student on vacation.
.
At age 35, accompanied by his mother, he sailed to England from Montreal on the ship Dutchess of York and arrived 26 Sep 1936 at the Port of Liverpool, proposed address in the UK; 11 Ormiston Rd., New Brighton. ¹³⁶ He began a six-month course in ophthalmology at Moorfields Hospital, London.

She did post graduate work in Mexico City; Berlin, Germany; and Jones Law School in Montgomery, AL.

62 v. Norma Davison HOFFMANN [111] ¹⁵⁶ was born on 23 May 1970 in Montgomery, Montgomery, Alabama and died on 30 Aug 1986 in Fitzpatrick, Bullock, Alabama,^¹⁵⁷ at age 16.

Death Notes: Obituary - Union Springs Herald, Union Springs, Alabama, 3 Sep 1986: Bullock Teenager Killed in Wreck // A host of friends and family gathered at Oak Hill Cemetery in Union springs Monday morning for graveside services in tribute to Norma Davison Hoffmann who was killed in an automobile accident early Saturday morning in Montgomery.
Norma was one of the beloved triplets born on May 23, 1970, to Martha Bristow Hoffmann and the late Ted Hoffmann of Fitzpatrick. Attorney Hoffmann served as district judge in Bullock County before he was stricken with a terminal illness.
The 16 year old Norma is survived by her triplet sisters, Martha and Susannah. She is also survived by an older sister, Paige Hoffmann, an Auburn University student; a brother, John Bristow Hoffmann, a Dallas Theological Seminary student who will receive his Master's degree in May of 1987; her mother, Martha Hoffmann Sanders; her stepfather, Dr. James Glen Sanders; a step-sister, Robin Sanders; a step-brother, Trey Sanders; her paternal grandmother, Mrs. Helen B. Hoffmann of McLean, Virginia; one great aunt, Mrs. W. H. Bickerstaff of Fitzpatrick; and one uncle, Mr. Ludwig C. Hoffmann III of Montgomery.
Norma was the granddaughter of the late J.T. Bristow of Fitzpatrick and the late Norma Smith Bristow Salter, a prominent Alabama educator.
The 16 year old triplets were very close and were together at a party shortly before the accident. Upon leaving the party, Martha Hoffmann, Norma's look-alike, was persuaded to ride in another car which was following the car driven by Norma who was taking her friend Laura Grice to her home in Montgomery. The head-on collision was with a speeding pick-up truck driven by Thomas Clardy, 38, who was also killed instantly. Martha was among the first to reach her sister, followed soon after by Susannah, who was in another car. Norma's friend Laura is reported in stable condition at St. Margaret's Hospital.
Graveside services were conducted by Rev. Asbury Wolfe, Jr., pastor of the First United Methodist Church in Union Springs. After reading appropriate Scriptures, he commented on the fact that the four Hoffmann sisters and their parents were together in his congregation at church on the Sunday preceding the accident.
A personal eulogy was given by Norma's brother, John Bristow Hoffmann, who spoke lovingly of his recollections of family gathering, the closeness of family relationships, and the joyful spirit of Norma who always wore a radiant smile. He spoke with assurance of his sister's salvation and commitment to Christ, saying there are two truths his sister would want to emphasize at her memorial service. One of these would be her conviction that alcohol mixed with speeding is a killer. The second truth is Norma's certainty of salvation through Jesus Christ and the assurances he had of resurrection to life eternal.
The unusually large turnout at the memorial service, many of them teen-agers, was touching evidence of Norma Hoffmann's own testimony of a life of caring for others. The service was also a tribute to a loving family relationship.
As the three remaining sisters and their mother scanned newspapers and scrapbooks, it became obvious that Norma Hoffmann in her 16 years had established herself as a person of achievement - in academics, sports, leadership, music, beauty, and extra-curricular activities.
Norma's achievements from junior high to the 11^th grade, which she was entering this fall at Jeff Davis in Montgomery, are well documented. Among these accomplishments are the following:
While a student at Bullock Memorial, she was a junior high cheerleader in grades eight and nine. She was chosen class beauty in both of those grades and was secretary of the 9^th grade class. She played trumpet with the BMS Bank, was band librarian, and voted most valuable player. She was named Junior High Best Personality, Junior High Best All-Around, and Junior High Top Ten. Also interested in sports, she served as bat girl for the baseball team, and she had the highest percentage of free throws in basketball.
During her 10^th grade year at Trinity Presbyterian School in Montgomery, Norma continued her record achievements. She was a member of the National Honor Society and was among the 50 percent of that group chosen to be in the Trinity Honor Society. She played in the school band and was a member of the Spanish Club and the 4-H Club.
Both Norma and Martha were selected to represent Trinity as honored members of the Society of Distinguished American High School students. This honor comes to those who achieve academic excellence, participate in civic affairs, and display leadership in extra-curricular activities. On July 28 through August 2, 1986, Norma had attended the youth legislative retreat at Blue Ridge Assembly sponsored by the YMCA.
Norma loved outdoor activities and rose horses regularly, especially in the Fitzpatrick Fox Hunts.
Many people attending the funeral observed that the crowd who gathered at Oak Hill Cemetery Monday Morning at 11:00 was the largest turn-out they could remember at graveside services in Union Springs, another testimony to the many lives touched by Norma Davison Hoffmann in the short span of her 16 years.

48. Thomas Emmet LITTLE [11] ¹⁴² (Jane Valeria HOFFMANN³⁰, Mathilde "Tilly" Melosine EBBIGHAUSEN¹⁴, Carl Heinrich August⁷, Heinrich August Ludewig¹) was born on 20 Mar 1949 in Hudson, Columbia, New York and died on 5 Aug 2010 in , , Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan, at age 61.

Death Notes: Tom was leading a team of six Americans, two Afghans, one German and a Briton, when slain by the Taliban in the northern province of Badakhshan, Afghanistan. The team was attacked while returning to Kabul after a two-week mission providing eye and other health care in remote villages in the Parun valley of Nuristan province about 160 miles (260 kilometers) north of Kabul. The bullet-riddled bodies were found near three four-wheeled drive vehicles in a wooded area just off the main road through a narrow valley in the Kuran Wa Munjan district of Badakhshan.

General Notes: Since about 1984, Tom and his wife Libby have spent most of his time in Afghanistan but maintained a permanent residence at Delmar, Albany County, New York. Their three daughters were educated at the Woodstock School, India.

From his Memorial Service 9 Oct 2010 at the Loudonville Community Church, Loudonville, New York: Tom little lived in Afghanistan. It was his and Libby's home for thirty-three years. They raised their three daughters there. They lived there, not here. They stayed there, under every political regime, from the communist, through the civil war, through the Taliban, through the current situation.
Tom came from a small, peaceful town in update New York. He had a good education and every opportunity available to Americans, but he chose to live and work in Afghanistan. He honed his professional skills and applied them to the Afghan situation. He had a ridiculously low salary for an American optometrist, but he still chose to live in Afghanistan. He literally helped the blind to see, in a place with little eye care. He set up hospitals, clinics, eye camps, and helped to train eye care staff, from custodians to surgeons. He did this for and with the Afghan people, in cities and villages.
Tom was a Christian. His love for and service to the Afghan people came from his love for and serviced to God. God had called him to give his life away in service to others. Tom's idea of how to live life came from the example of Christ. Tom was not there to convert or impose his faith on Afghans, but to be their friend. His faith was lived out in their midst. If some were attracted to his faith, who could blame them?
We should not make Tom to be more than he was. He would be the first to say he was a flawed human being. However, he knew he was a forgiven man and that enabled him to live at peace, with God and those around him. The proof of his admirable character and extraordinary meaningful live is found in what he did, especially where he chose to live, and where he died.
As for the way he died, he would echo Jesus' words: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." As for when he died, it was a tragic loss for Afghanistan, and a terrible shock to his family, friends and colleagues. As for where he died, Tom Little lived, died, and his body was buried in Afghanistan. He probably would not have wanted it any other way.
"And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Blessed are the dead who from now on die in the Lord. Yes, says the Spirit, They will rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them." Revelations 14:15.

In Feb 2011, Barack Obama, President, United States, awarded the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian recognition a person can receive for their contributions to the nation's security or national interest, to Tom Little (posthumously) and 13 others.

He was employed. ¹⁵⁹ NOOR, a program of the Kabul based International Assistance Mission, has operated almost continually in Afghanistan since 1966. And although it receives no government funding, NOOR provides the majority of eye-care services in Afghanistan.
Tom Little, or Mr. Tom as he is called by the Afghans who work under him, oversees NOOR's three 40- to 45- bed eye hospitals, one in each of the country's three major cities of Kabul, Heart, and Mazar-i-Sharif, as well as a number of smaller 8- to 10-bed facilities in the smaller cities of Khost, Nilli and Talaqon. The program also provides support and pays the doctors and technicians at the Ministry of Health's main hospital in Kabul, an 80-bed facility. NOOR operates roughly a dozen eye camps throughout the country each year, as well as a number of day clinics just outside of the cities containing the major hospitals. All told, NOOR facilities saw 234,570 outpatients in 2003, and operated on more than 14,000..
