RICHARD PAPPARITZ (P)

Thursday, October 25, 1906
The death at St Vincent's Hosptial Wednesday, October 24, 1906 of a 16 year old youth, of New
York, reveals a pathetic story of a boy rebuked under his parental roof, leaving to struggle with
the world, stricken by the "white plague", lingering in its grasp and finally passing away far from
home and a mother's last loving caress.  He came to Norfolk about four months ago.  He fell
under the kind care of Union Mission Superintendent MCCONICA and picked up odd jobs about
the city to make both ends meet.  He said at first, he intended not to return home until he had
accumulated some money, but after consumption claimed him, he longed to return to his home in
New York.  Supterintendent MCCONICA tells the sad story of the boy as follows: "He came to
Norfolk about four months ago.  He said he had trouble with his father at home and left to make
his living.  He was a proud little fellow, ambitious and bright.  He seemed to want to make a lot of
money before he walked into his father's home again.  He would pick up work around the city
and make some money.  Finally he sickened, and I had him examined, which showed he had
tuberculosis.  We treated him with medicine and gave him a diet.  At times, he was very sick.  I
have known him, so ambitious was the lad, to work all day on a roof with tinners when he could
hardly hold up his head.  We asked him to go home, and I wrote several letters to his father, to
which I received no answers.  After awhile, the boy got work on a dairy near Norfolk and the next
I heard of him, he was dead at St Vincent's Hospital.  We all loved him at the mission, so bright
and ambitious was the lad."  After the boy's illness became so severe, a ticket was purchased to
carry him back to his home.  He was refused transportation on the boat, because it was feared he
would die before it arrived at New York.  The boy was then taken to St Vincent's where he died. 
That young lad longed to return home, after he became sick, is indicated by a letter, which for
unknown reasons, was sent to MR. MCCONICA by the dead letter office.  This letter was written
by a friend of the lad to CHARLES PAPPERTIZ, his brother.  It never reached its destination and
was sent to MR. MCCONICA.  This letter is as follows: "August 30, 1906 Dear Friend
CHARLES, It is quite some time since I seen you or heard from you.  It was my place to write
you first, but as I had nothing to write, I had no need of writing.  But what I write you now is
important, it being that I received a letter from RICHARD, stating that he was in Virginia.  I
having answered him to ask if I could let you know about him.  I received a letter tonight and in it
he said he would come back to New York, when he received word from you.  He asks whether
his father has any bad feelings against him as he wishes to come home again.  This letter he sent
me was the first one he wrote since he left home.  He said he was making good wages and had
good clothing.  Enclose find his picture.  CHARLIE, tell your father to forgive him and let him
come home as I think the experience will make him a better boy.  Love to all from all, I remain,
Your Friend, FRED (RICHARD PAPPARITZ, 106 Church Street, Norfolk, Virginia) The letter
was addressed to CHARLES PAPPARITZ, 231 East 52nd Street, New York, which MR.
MCCONICA says the lad gave as his home.  The address of the dead boy was evidently in the
letter from his friend "FRED", in order to let his parents know where he could be located.  A
telegram was received by R.R. SMYTHE, of Norfolk, a few days ago, asking that the youth be
sent to 323 East 18th Street, New York.  It was then an effort was made to send the youth home
to receive his father's forgiveness before he died.  The body of the boy still lies at St Vincent's
while the health authorities are endeavoring to get in touch with MR. SMYTHE with a view of
making arrangements for the proper burial of the lad.

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of our dear son and brother, who was drowned Wednesday, August 26, 1947.
Five years you've been away, We miss you more and more each day; Though far away, you are
always near, through night, dark hours,  til break of day.  Oftimes it brings a sigh, a tear, Since
you have gone away, I miss you since you went away, Io serve our Saviour's call.  I miss your
step, your voice, your smile, When the twilight shadows fall, It is then I miss you most of all.
MOM, DAD, SISTERS, NEPHEWS, NIECES.
