| 26064 | When Fr. Joseph Kundek invited German Catholics from the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Louisville areas to come and settle in the new town of Ferdinand, many stout-hearted Germans came down the river to Troy and set out over land to the town. Many of them had seen advertisements published in 1840 in Der Wahreheitsfreund, a German-language Catholic weekly. The advertisement read: "The German Catholic congregation in Jasper, Dubois County, Indiana, has laid out a new town with the name ?Ferdinand? twelve miles south of Jasper on the Troy Road, about eighteen miles from the Ohio. In the middle of the town there is a Catholic church; in the neighborhood of the town there are about forty farmers, and more than 120 sections of Congress land - The region is healthful, the soil fertile. A German Catholic priest is appointed for it as soon as the congregation increases." The first arrivals expected to find a cluster of cabins set up in a clearing in the woods. Instead they only found a clapboard nailed to a big oak tree with the name ?Ferdinand? burnt in with an iron. Plans for the town existed merely on paper. Some of the settlers continued on to Evansville, but others decided to help build the town of Fr. Kundek?s dreams. Philip Wagner bought the first plot of land from Fr. Kundek, just south of the town limits. He built a two-story log house there, and it was here that Fr. Kundek celebrated the first Holy Mass in Ferdinand on April 22, 1840. | Daunhauer, Franz Joseph Dauenhauer (I143164)

| 26066 | Wilhelm "Columbus" Hieb Dakota Datebook, North Dakota Public Radio, August 1, 2005. People who grew up in the German Russian regions of the state likely knew at least one person who either moved to Lodi, California, or who had relatives there. This was the result of a quest by Wilhelm Adam Hieb, who became known as Columbus for encouraging others to join him there. Hieb (heeb) was born in Neudorf, Russia in 1852 and came here with his young wife, Catharina, on the S.S. Hermann in 1874. They settled in Hutchinson County, Dakota Territory, near what is now Menno, South Dakota. Catharina died during their tenth year together. After two decades on the prairie, Wilhelm missed the more temperate climate of south Russian, so he decided to find a place more similar to where he grew up. In 1895, he and two friends, Gottlieb Hieb (no relation) and Jacob Mettler, headed for California and toured the state by train. Wilhelm liked Los Angeles and its orange groves, but he wanted to grow grapes. They headed north and finally found the perfect place: Lodi. Hieb went back to Dakota, sold his land, and became the first German Russian to move to Lodi. With him were his second wife, Charlotta, and their eight children. In 1975, Hiebs youngest child, Pauline Walters, told the story to the Lodi News-Sentinel. Her father bought 30 acres a mile south of Lodi and planted some of it into Zinfandel and Mission grapes. The rest he put into pasture to raise cows to keep them afloat until the grapes were mature enough to produce. It wasnt until a few years later that others began to join them. Polly said when other Dakotans began arriving, theyd always stay with the Hiebs. The town did have a hotel and a restaurant, she says, but this wasnt for the thrifty Dakotans. People came and went from our house, and this went on for years. Sometimes families would stay with us for two or three weeks until they could find a place. It was about this time that Wilhelm became known as Columbus, as he enticed more and more of his former neighbors to migrate to Lodi. Even his mail came addressed to Columbus Hieb. He would meet Dakotans at the train depot and drive the men around until they found what they needed. Land was inexpensive about $25-35 an acre and the sandy soil was ideal. Some people farmed, others worked in wineries or canneries. Nearly everyone prospered, and the migration increased. Back in Dakota, it became a sort of joke among German Russians to ensure their childrens survival they taught them three words in English: Papa, Mama and Lodi. Polly remembered a day in the early 1900s when an entire train car of Dakotans arrived. This time there were so many, their home wasnt large enough to accommodate everybody. Her brother was sent on horseback to tell earlier migrants to come and get some of them. Meanwhile, she helped her mother prepare food for everybody. It didnt matter how many came, she said, we always had food. We learned how to manage on the spur of the moment. Columbus Hieb's vineyard was one of the first commercial wineries in the Lodi region. After his grapes started producing, he shipped his wine in 50-gallon barrels to Hosmer, SD, where it was marketed. The initiator of the Lodi connection died on this date in 1929. He was 77.

Wilhelm Adam (Columbus) Hieb #23003, (18.Adam3, 5.Wilhelm2, 1.Johann1) b. 11 Jan 1852, Neudorf, Russia, d. 1 Aug 1929, Lodi, CA. The Wilhelm Hieb & wife Catharina on the SS Hermann arriving in Baltimore in 1874 are the Wilhelm Hieb called "Columbus" and his wife, Catharina Frey. They probably married in 1873 before leaving Russia - the marriage does not appear in GLK B&M because the 1872-1873 records are missing from the St. Pete. WILHELM "COLUMBUS" HIEB - Wilhelm Adam Hieb, better known as "Columbus" Hieb, is credited with being one of the first Dakotans of German descent to settle in Lodi, CA. In 1895 he and 3 others (Gottlieb Hieb, Jacob Mettler, and Ludwick Derheim) traveled from Menno, South Dakota to scout for land in California. The men orginally looked in Southern California, but decided Lodi would be a good place to plant vineyards. They purchased land and returned to Menno. On November 11, 1897, Columbus returned to Lodi with his second wife Charlotta and eight children. Once settled, he encouraged others in South Dakota to come to Lodi. He met the new arrivals at the train station and generously provided food and lodging at his 30-acre farm until they themselves were settled. In addition to pioneering the Dakota-to-Lodi migration, Columbus planted one of Lodi's first commercial vineyards and was founder of the Salem Reformed Church. Until the church could be built, services were held in Columbus' home. It was determination, fortitude, and a pioneering spirit that earned Wilhelm Adam Hieb the well-deserved nickname of Columbus. Those who followed in his path knew him by that name...even his mail was addressed as such. He went by the name of Columbus until he passed away in Lodi, a town that embodies the spitit of those who, like Columbus, came for a better life.

| 26068 | WILLIAM B. CASEY, WHEELING From: West Virginians Published by The West Virginia Biographical Association, 1928 Submitted by Linda Fluharty. William B. Casey, Wheeling Attorney, with office in the Riley Law Building, has enjoyed a successful professional career in that city for nearly twenty years and has acquired various business and civic responsibilities that make him one of the well-known and influential citizens. He was born near Modock and Black Hills in Butler County, Pennsylvania, May 21, 1875. His grandparents, Jeremiah Casey and Catherine O'Connor Casey, came from Ireland about 1840, and his grandfather was for many years in the service of the New York Central Railroad. Both grandparents resided at Stittsville, New York, at the time of their death, and are buried in the Catholic Cemetery at Rome, New York. John W. Casey, father of William B., was born at Rome, New York, in 1847, and was educated in public schools there and at Utica and spent many years as an oil operator and oil well contractor. His work brought him in touch with all the important fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oklahoma and Kentucky, and he lived for a number of years at Wheeling, where he died in March, 1923, at the age of seventy-six. He is buried in the Mt. Calvary Cemetery at Wheeling. John W. Casey married Effie Williams who was born and reared in Venango and Butler counties, Pennsylvania, and still lives at Wheeling, where she has taken part in church and community affairs. Her ancestors, the Williams, Grant, Phipps and Carnahan families were among the first settlers west of the Allegheny Mountains. She is the mother of five children: William B.; Margaret, wife of Frank Rust, a machinist of Los Angeles, California; Serella, wife of Louis Smyth, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and mother of a daughter Catherine; Thomas J., druggist and pharmacist at New Castle, Pennsylvania, who married Elizabeth Taggart and has four children; and Clyde J., who has charge of a government laundry at San Juan, Porto Rico, and married Mable Stephens of Morgantown, West Virginia. William B. Casey passed his boyhood years in various localities, the family changing their residence on account of his father's duties as an oil operator. He attended public schools in Warren, Butler and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania, and continued his literary education and the study of law in West Virginia University. He was admitted to the West Virginia bar in 1908 and at once engaged in practice at Wheeling. While his practice has been of a general nature it has brought him important associations with corporate interests. He is in addition to his law practice now president and director of the following corporations, with their principal offices in Wheeling: Wheeling Finance and Realty Company, Consumers Coal Company, and National Bituminous Construction Company. Mr. Casey is a member of the County and State Bar Associations, is affiliated with the Catholic Church, member of the Knights of Columbus, Ancient Order of United Workmen and Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Lodge No. 28 of Wheeling. In politics Mr. Casey is a Democrat and was the Democratic candidate for judge of the Criminal Court of Ohio County in 1912. He married at Wheeling, West Virginia, in 1906, Miss Evelyn Fleahman of Wheeling, where she finished her education in the grammar and high schools, and for several years before her marriage was engaged in secretarial and bookkeeping work. She is a daughter of John W. and Mary (Roth) Fleahman, whose home was at Altitude, Ohio, where her father was a farmer and merchant. Her mother is still living and resides in Wheeling. To the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Casey were born ten children, one daughter, Margaret, dying at the age of two years. The others are: Mary E., John W., Evelyn, Clyde J., William B., Gwendolyn Rose, Elizabeth, June Joan, Martha May. The daughter Mary graduated from the State Normal School at West Liberty and is now teaching at Elm Grove, West Virginia. John W. and Evelyn are attending high school, and the other children are in the grades. | Casey, William Burns (I147273)

| 26070 | William Edward Fliehmann, 41, of Whittier was killed in the early morning hours of April 21 when Cummings entered Fliehmann's idling truck and drove away. Cummings told his attorney that he saw Fliehmann setting up traffic cones on Victory Boulevard in North Hollywood when he stole the truck. Fliehmann's body was found on the Victory Boulevard on-ramp to the southbound Hollywood Freeway. He died from massive head injuries apparently caused when he fell from the truck. Authorities did not file murder charges against Cummings because they determined that he had no intention of harming Fliehmann and could not have foreseen the victim's death. Superior Court Judge Kathryne Ann Stoltz sent Cummings to the state Department of Corrections on Tuesday for a 90-day diagnostic evaluation. Two mental health professionals will examine Cummings and make a recommendation to the court. Stoltz will have the option of sentencing Cummings to probation or to state prison for a maximum term of 4 years and 8 months during a hearing scheduled for Aug. 18. "A probation officer already interviewed him," said defense attorney Tamar Rachel Toister, "and the probation officer did recommend probation." Prosecutors agreed not to oppose the diagnostic examination, partly because Cummings pleaded no contest to both charges that had been filed against him. The decision not to file murder charges enraged Fliehmann's family and led them to call for reforms that would bring tougher sentences for criminals who kill innocent people. While authorities no longer believe that Fliehmann was the victim of a carjacking, he was the fourth person to die in the San Fernando Valley in violent auto thefts in the past two months. On the same day at about the same time Fliehmann died, an aspiring actor was gunned down in his BMW less than two miles away. Thomas Martin MacDowell was shot in the torso as he parked his car near his girlfriend's apartment on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. Police have not arrested any suspects in that case. | Fliehmann, William Edward (I208335)

| 26072 | William Lee Vogler (by son Bill) I have heard that people are like a jigsaw puzzle, and even if you live with this person, you never know all the puzzle pieces. Yesterday at the viewing, I was asking and listening to stories, trying to know more of these pieces for the person I call dad. To start today, I would like to read a letter from his sister Rita, an example of some of these pieces??.. So, how, knowing some of these pieces, do we judge a person?s life (is it loyalty, goodness, kindness)? Baden Powell, said we could judge a person life by evaluating on how well a person fulfilled their life?s duties. He (Baden Powell) defined these duties as duty to God and Country, duty to others and duty to self. We can then test / compare and take pride in how well dad fulfilled his duties. Duty to God, we have testimony from dad?s sister that dad was an alter-boy when he was growing-up, we know from Father (George St Hillery?s) that dad attended ?40 hours? and ?Station of the Cross?, so dad conscientiously fulfilled his ?Duty to God?. Duty to Country, we know that he served in WWII. (I have asked friends of dad what they did during the War, some of them put their heads down and said they didn?t do much. Dad, when asked, held his head high when he talked about what he did.)We know that taught radio repair and communications at Fort Knox and later in the War, in Europe, he repaired communication equipment in the tanks and jeeps. (I asked Dad to tell a little of some of the things that went on, he would tell about being behind enemy-lines and how he would go to a local restaurants or houses till they were liberated, as it was too dangerous to stay in the streets). Dad easily fulfilled his Duty to Country. Duty to Others, Dad was a friend to everyone he met, and growing-up I remember him and us going to help others with their problems. (I remember a car that was over an embankment and he stopped and put ropes on the car and pulled the strangers car back on the road) and Father referenced taking mis-delivered mail to the neighbor thinking they probably needed the mail to day, rather than two or three days by having the mailman do it. Dad obviously cared for his fellow man and fulfilled his Duty to others. Duty to Self, Dad was married and this is what I qualify as Duty to Self. Dad took care of his family. It was a peaceful family with a lot of love and support. Dad encouraged us, Bernard and I to become alter-boys and helped us to learn the Latin. (Latin prayer Ad-Damium? ) Dad was a teacher, a mentor and he demonstrated to the (3) children how to become to become involved with our community. Dad has fulfilled his Life?s Duties quite well and has set an example for us to follow. But, it is said that you never know someone until you walk in their shoes. I have actually done that with dad, I studied electronics, worked at RCA, worked some at his TV repair business. (and I heard that he was being buried with Military Honors and I thought O?Lordy! They can?t do that, because I wore-out his uniforms.) Besides wearing his uniforms I walked in his Combat boots and have even worn his dance shoes. But, when it comes to filling his daily shoes, that will take a lot and I have a long way to go. | Vogler, William Lee (I176575)

| 26074 | WILLIS C. HILLS. Willis C. Hills, owner and publisher of the Oakland Acorn, was born in Maquoketa, Iowa, in 1858. His father was Amos C. Hills, a native of Rumney, New Hampshire, and of English ancestry. The first representative of the family in America was Joseph Hills, who came from England in 1638 and settled at Malden, Massachusetts, near Boston. Amos C. Hills was a farmer by occupation and continued his residence in the east until 1855, when he came to Iowa, settling in Maquoketa. Later, however, he returned to the east, where he remained for about eight years and then again came to Iowa in 1866. He is now living retired at Oto, Woodbury county, Iowa, at the age of eighty years. He was an industrious farmer, whose life of activity and intelligently applied effort brought to him a very goodly competence. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he has served as an officer, and in the work of the church he is much interested, while to its support he contributes generously. His political allegiance is given the republican party. He married Elizabeth S. Wilcox, who was born in Orleans county, Vermont, and is now living at the age of eighty-two years. She is of Scotch-Welsh ancestry and, like her husband, belongs to the Methodist Episcopal church. Throughout their entire lives this worthy couple have commanded the esteem and good will of those with whom they have come in contact in the different communities in which they have lived. Their family numbers three children, of whom Willis C. is the youngest. The sister, Jennie E., is the widow of the Rev. George R. Oake, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church, who in early life had been a circuit rider and who died in Council Bluffs in 1906. Frank L. Hills is a newspaper man of Sioux City, Iowa, and is now serving as county recorder of Woodbury county. Willis C. Hills was a pupil in the country schools in his early boyhood and afterward attended the normal school at Cedar Falls. A few years were devoted to teaching and in 1887 he established the Smithland Exponent at Smithland, Iowa, where he remained until the fall of 1894. At that time he was elected county recorder of Woodbury county on the republican ticket and his capability and trustworthiness in office led to his selection for a second term. Upon his retirement from this political position he conducted a printing plant at Sioux City and for one year was proprietor of a general store at Kirkman, Iowa. In January, 1901, he came to Oakland and purchased the Oakland Acorn of M: F.. Morton, since which time he has been engaged in the publication of this paper. The Acorn was founded in 1881 and is a seven column quarto, neat and attractive in appearance. It has a good advertising patronage and liberal subscription list and is a clean, newsy paper which would be a credit to any community. It is independent in politics and devoted to the best interests of the town and county, championing every measure for the public good. M r. Hills was married in 1894 to Paulina Gambs, who was born in Monroe county, Ohio, in 1860, and they have one child, Vida. Mrs. Hills belongs to the Congregational church. Mr. Hills gives his support to the republican party. He served as postmaster at Smithland and, as stated, was twice recorder of Woodbury county. His interest in political questions is that of a public-spirited American citizen and in all community affairs he manifests an activity which indicates; his loyalty to the best interests of Oakland. His fraternal relations are with the Masons.Source: History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa Vol. 2 by Homer Howard Field, Joseph Rea Reed; 1907; pages 1123-1124 WILLIS C. HILLS. Willis C.

At that time he was elected county recorder of Woodbury county on the republican ticket and his capability and trustworthiness in office led to his selection for a second term. Upon his retirement from this political position he conducted a printing plant at Sioux City and for one year was proprietor of a general store at Kirkman, Iowa. In January, 1901, he came to Oakland and purchased the Oakland Acorn of M: F.. Morton, since which time he has been engaged in the publication of this paper. The Acorn was founded in 1881 and is a seven column quarto, neat and attractive in appearance. It has a good advertising patronage and liberal subscription list and is a clean, newsy paper which would be a credit to any community. It is independent in politics and devoted to the best interests of the town and county, championing every measure for the public good. M r. Hills was married in 1894 to Paulina Gambs, who was born in Monroe county, Ohio, in 1860, and they have one child, Vida. Mrs. Hills belongs to the Congregational church. Mr. Hills gives his support to the republican party. He served as postmaster at Smithland and, as stated, was twice recorder of Woodbury county. His interest in political questions is that of a public-spirited American citizen and in all community affairs he manifests an activity which indicates; his loyalty to the best interests of Oakland. His fraternal relations are with the Masons.Source: History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa Vol. 2 by Homer Howard Field, Joseph Rea Reed; 1907; pages 1123-1124 lfmwvuadded this on 12 Feb 2011 | Hills, Willis C.

| 26076 | WINCH CAUSES TRAGEDY According to another brother, Albert, of Boonville Highway, Evansville, a winch being used by steel workers at the church swayed and caused brick and stone to fall from the front wall. Between 400 and 500 bricks and stones fell, he said, sending the three men on a scaffold 30 feet above the ground crashing to earth. Three other brothers, Henry, Robert, and Michael, were at the building site. Two were working in a passage through the center of the church and two were sending materials to the men on the scaffold. Rev. Clarence J. Lindauer, pastor of St. Peter and Paul's, rushed from the parsonage next door and administered the last sacrament to the dying man. August Ubelhor succumbed before a physician reached the scene. NECK IS BROKEN Cause of death was a broken neck, according to Gibson County Coroner Robert D. Kendall, who held an inquest an hour after the accident. Two other brothers were taken to St. Mary's by ambulance. Edward suffered injuries to his right hip and chest and left ear. Joseph incurred scratches on his head and face and a bruised right hip. About 15 other men, steel workers and carpenters, were present when the accident occurred. The new church, made of St. Meinrad sandstone with an Indiana limestone trim, is to replace the building badly damaged by a storm in May, 1941, according to Rev. Lindauer. Temporary repairs were made at the time, he said, and World War II prevented carrying out immediate plans for new construction. The old church was torn down in May, 1949, and construction was started on the new one in August. SURVIVORS ARE LISTED Mr. Ubelhor's body was taken from Ziliak funeral home here to the Zoercher funeral home in Tell City tonight. It will be taken to the residence in St. Croix Thursday morning.
