Thomas and Anna Kribs Pyatt

Thomas Pyatt was born in Missouri on June 14, 1864, to Elisha and Frances Bohle/Boley Pyatt and died at 1301 S Boyle Avenue, St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri, on April 5, 1913, of pulmonary hemorrhage caused by chronic bronchitis. He was buried in the New Pickers Cemetery (now Gateway Gardens) St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri.

Thomas married before 1894 Anna M Kribs probably in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri or Franklin County, Missouri. Anna was born in March of 1869 in Missouri to Joseph and Elizabeth Kribs. Anna died December 4, 1905, in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri, of Typhoid Fever. Anna was a member of the St. Cronan Catholic Church (on Gravois Street in St. Louis) and is buried in the St. Peter and Paul Cemetery, St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri.

The known children of Thomas and Anna Pyeatt:

Thomas and family appear as follows on the 1900 census of St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri:

This family lived in St Louis at 1459 Old Manchester Road and was enumerated at 100/356/1/24. This is the only census entry where this family lived together. They lived among many German-sounding families. Thomas' brother, Eldridge Ferdinand Pyatt, was in ED 187 near the Wenglers and Waggoners. Brother, Samuel Edward Pyatt, was in St Louis, but, I do not have the ED number; brother, Benjamin Franklin "Frank" Pyatt, was a boarder on Sarply Avenue; and his sister, Isabella Pyatt was on Boyle Avenue.

Information on Anna in records of the Kriegshauser Mortuary in St Louis is as follows:
Annie M Pyatt age 37y 8m 13d died at #1316a Tower Grove on 3 Dec 1905 of Typhoid Fever / housewife / charged to Thomas Pyatt / services held at St Cronan Catholic Church / buried St Peter & Paul Cemetery (on Gravois St)

By the 1910 census, Beulah and Viola were living with other family members. Thomas was living with his sister, Isabella Pyatt, as follows:

This family was enumerated 29 Apr 1910 #242/242 at 1307 Boyle Avenue 12th Supr Dist Enum 387 Sheet 13A pg ?4909/4707 Ward 24 (Ancestry.com image 25/36). Living at 1301 Boyle was Thomas' sister, Myra Devine, with her husband, John J Devine.

In Bonhomme Township, Valley Park District, St. Louis County, Missouri:

This family was enumerated 28 Apr 1910 #346/383 at Meramec Highland Road Supr Dist 11 Enum Dist 102 Sheet 22B. It appears to be Viola Pyatt living with Anna's parents.

Living in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri, was:

This family was enumerated 101/141 at 4222 Blaine Avenue. It appears to Beulah M Pyatt with her father's place of birth in error. The enumerator might have just made an assumption being in an immigrant household. Was Christine A also a daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Kribs? This was a second marriage for Christine and Fred. Perhaps Beulah was his first wife's neice. Or, was Fred a brother of Elizabeth Kribs?

Thomas died in 1913. His death certificate information is as follows:
Death Certificate #14630 City: St Louis 1301 S Boyle Av, 23 Ward; Registration District: 791; Primary Registration District: 1003; Registered No: 3378; Full Name: Thomas Pyatt; Sex: Male; Race: white; Marital status: Widowed; Date of birth: June 14, 1864 Age: 48 yrs 9 mos 22 ds; Occupation: Driver / Grocer Wagon; Birthplace: Missouri; Name of Father: Elisha Pyatt; Birthplace of Father: Missouri; Maiden name of Mother: Fannie Boley; Birthplace of Mother: Virginia; Informant and address: John J Devine, 1301 S Boyle Ave; Filed: APR 7 1913 Max C Starkloff; Date of Death: April 5, 1913; Attended from/to: Mar 20, 1913 to Apr 5, 1913 that I last saw him alive on Apr 5, 1913 and that death occurred at 7 pm; Cause of Death and duration: Pulmonary Hemorrage, 1 mnth; Contributory and duration: Chronic Bronchitis, 1 mnth; Physician and address: W.

It appears that Thomas must have gone to live with his sister, Myra, in his ill health. Perhaps she was the 'nurse' in the family. Her husband, John, was the informant for the death certificate and his answer to the names of the parents matches what Myra gave on her brother, Benjamin F Pyatt's, death certificate.

Information on Thomas at the Kriegshauser Mortuary in St Louis is as follows:
Thomas Pyatt age 48 yrs 9 m 22 d died 5 Apr 1913 at 1301 S Boyle Avenue of chronic bronchitis / widower / wagon driver

By the 1920 census of St Louis, St Louis County, Missouri, Beulah was still unmarried and lived with a mixed household at 4222 Blaine Avenue Dist 487 118/487/5/63 (ancestry image 10/28) as follows:

    Interestingly, Thomas' sister-in-law, May, (wife of Benjamin F Pyatt) also died in 1913 and she was living at 4223a Blaine Avenue next door to the house where Buela lived between 1910 and 1920.
