George Frederick Hirsch was born in Germany, about April 22, 1830, as shown on his death certificate. No obituary has been found. He first shows up in the New Orleans City Directory in 1859 as "Hirsch, F., shoemaker, New Levee,c Notre Dame."
He was the son of Charles Herbort (Herbert), who emigrated from Germany, and arrived in New Orleans with his family in 1854.
Application for a marriage license was taken out by Charles Herbort on October 4, 1859, to be performed between George Frederick Hirsch and Marie Anna Herbort, a minor of 17 years, Carl Herbort signed as a witness. Mathias Maass signed as a character witness for the groom. A surety bond was pledged in the sum of $500 for a period of two years to ensure that the marriage had no legal impediments.
Having complied with the formalities required by law, permission was then granted for the Reverend M.F. Treger to perform the wedding ceremony, (F.W. Traeger was the minister of the Dryades First German mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 3623 Dryades Street, at this time).
The couple moved from time to time, and the address of the shop changed from time to time. (See City Directory), but always in an area south of Magazine Street, and south of what is now called the Garden District of New Orleans. In later years they lived within a few blocks of the Eighth Street Second German Mission Methodist Episcopal Church, at 830 Eighth Street, founded December 22, 1870, and of which Marie Anna was a charter member. Marie Anna became a seamstress, and made ladies garments, while her husband had a bootmaker shop.
Three children were born to the couple:
1. George Hirsch, born about 1860/61
2. Appolenia Rosalie Hirsch, born about June 20, 1865
3. Mary Hirsch, born unk, died after 1940.
George Frederick Hirsch died January 30, 1908, of La Grippe, while living at 725 Pleasant Street, and was buried in the Valence cemetery, a well kept, privately owned cemetery, of about a square block area at Valence and Saratoga Streets, just four blocks above St Charles Street, in the Hirsch family plot, which has been purchased in 1905: square 2, lot 117 and 118. (A presumed grandson, George C. Hirsch, was buried in the other lot on January 2, 1910. He was born October 27, 1881, and died January 1, 1910, being crushed in a railroad mishap.)
Marie Anna Herbort Hirsch, and her daughter Mary, a crippled girl, lived a pretty hard life, working as a seamstress out of her home at 3241 Annunciation. Marie Anna died August 9, 1922, of mitral regurgitation, and was buried in the Valence Cemetery, square 2, lot 114, a lot that had been owned by Ella M. Desenberg.
The last information on George Hirsch, is an eight page letter that he wrote to his sister, Appolenia Rosalie, on the occasion of their father's death in 1908.
