A brother, John Stuprich (-1G) was born ca. 1915 Their father was a tinner and then a carpenter.
The 1920 Fed. Census for Michigan (vol. 96, enum. district 670, sheet 5, line 47-50) lists Mary age 3 months, with her parents and brother living in Wayne, MI. Her father, Jacob, (surname spelled Stupprich) is 26 and was born in Michigan. He is a laborer at a motor company (Ford?). Mary's mother, Elizabeth, is 23, was born in Michigan, and is not employed. Mary's brother John is 4 years old and was born in Michigan. The parents of all were also born in Michigan. I did not make a copy of this census sheet because it is hard to read. Enough information was gained from reading it off the microfilm and viewing the Soundex index. The Soundex code is S316.
Sometime between 1920 and 1942 the house in Michigan belonging to Mary's parents burned down. The family then moved to St. Louis
Her first daughter, Karen Kathleen Thoma (0G) was born on 11 Jul. 1943 in St. Louis. Her mother may have died in 1944. Her second daughter, Mary Alberta Thoma (0G), was born on 01 Mar. 1947 in St. Louis. There is a medical case history (#79555, roll Y-930) for a Mary Thoma at a city hospital, dated 15 Nov. 1947. I do not know which Mary Thoma this refers to. Her brother John may have died ca. 1948. Sometime after her marriage and before 1955, her husband built a home for them at 7121 Stafford Ct., Affton, MO. She obtained a S. S. card in Missouri before 1951. Her third and last child, Linda, was born on 13 Nov. 1951 in St. Louis.
The St. Louis County Directory of 1955 shows Albert T. Thoma, plaster contractor, with his wife Mary, living at 7121 Stafford Ct. in Affton, MO. The County Directory of 1958 has the same information. The County Dir. of 1961 shows Albert T. Thoma, with his wife Mary E., plasterer, living at 7121 Stafford Ct. in Affton, MO.
The St. Louis County Directory of 1970 shows Albert T. Thoma, with his wife Mary E., a plasterer living at 7121 Stafford Ct. in Affton, MO. Their daughter, Mary Thoma (0G), is also listed in this year as a student living at the same address. The St. Louis County Dir. of 1971 shows Albert T. Thoma, with wife Mary E., a plasterer, with business and home at 7121 Stafford Ct. in Affton, MO. The 1972-73 County Dir. has the same information. Her father may have died in Apr. 1981. Her husband died on 04 Aug. 1987 and was buried in the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis (sect. W, site 745). Sometime ca. 2002 she moved to Yuma, Arizona to live with her daughter Karen. Later she developed Altheimer's disease and had to be moved to a care facility.
