Felicite Heloise Padron, the daughter of Vincent Anastasio and Marie Antoinette Angelica DeJan Padron, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana 12 December 1839. Both the Padron and DeJan families were among the first families of New Orleans and General Beauregard, of confederate fame, was a near relative. Mrs. Grebe married John Shannon in New Orleans, Louisiana (newspaper was in error and stated they were married in Kansas City). They later moved to Kansas City, Missouri and John opened up the firm of J & P Shannon Brothers. The Shannon store, at Main Street and Levee was the big store of Kansas City. Mr. Shannon died about sixty years ago, and several years later, his widow was married to Major W. R. Grebe. Major Grebe had resigned a lieutenancy in the German Army and came to America in 1862. He enlisted in the Fourth Missouri Regiment and rose rapidly, until he became a major.
