302 A story related by John Wesley Frank regarding the death of Clarence is as follows: Clarence was driving a truck. On a run to the east that took him on U.S. Route 70, he stopped at the Dallas exit which is near the Pennsylvania and West Virginia border. While manuvering the truck in or near the truck stop, it went out of control and ran over an embankment. The truck caught fire. Clarence was pulled from the burning truck. It was thought that he may have had a heart attack which caused the accident. Frank, Clarence Laverne (I190944)
 
303 A teenager suspected of killing another teenager at a street dance last May was in front of a judge today. 19 year old Blake Hemminger is charged with manslaughter in the death of 14 year old Zach Glaesman.

Both teens were at a party in Orient over the Memorial Day weekend.

The fight happened back in May. But the grand jury didn't indict Blake Hemminger until August. Today he was in a Faulk County Courtroom.

Blake Hemminger arrived early for court to face a charge of manslaughter. Three months ago on Memorial Day weekend he attended a party at a baseball field in Orient. About five hundred people were there at the time.

The Faulk County Sheriff says a fight broke out around 5 a.m. on Sunday and Zach Glaesman was punched. Hemminger is accused of throwing those blows. Ten days later Glaesman was rushed the hospital after saying his head hurt. He later died of meningitis.

A judge told Hemminger he is being charged in Glaesman's death. He was assigned an attorney and a trial date was set.

6/4 Zach was found to have a severe case of meningitis
6/5 Zach went into surgery and left with a 5% chance of living. The doctors have done all they can, it is Zach's will and our prayers that are needed to bring him home
6/6 After talkin to Zach's mom, we found out that he is responsive to peoples voices. His heartbeat and blood pressure raise when people he knows are around... but his eyes are completely dialated and unresponsive to darkness and light keep praying and stay strong!
6/7 Zach couldnt be stablized, his blood pressure was uncontrollable. His mom and dad decided to take him off of life support. Pray for his family and stay strong, we will all be reunited someday.

305 According to Edna Marie Proteroe in a telephone call with Lucas Joseph Walter, Jr. on 25 May 2009:

Following the funeral of Lucas Joseph Walter, Sr. in November 1955, the family got together at the home of Frank Gerald Walter and Edna Marie Protheroe. After a while, Frank was gone and they found him sitting alone at the gravesite of Lucas Jospeh Walter, Sr. The two of them were very close.


According to Elmer Walter in a telephone call with Lucas Joseph Walter, Jr. on 18 June 2009:

Frank Gerald Walter, Sr. served in Europe during World War II and was captured in Germany. According to Elmer, some kids approached him and his squad and said their mother was hurt. When Frank and the squad went to help, a machine gun nest opened up on them, captured them, and tortured them on the rack to extract information. Frank was left for dead on the rack, and was the only member of his squad to survive and was awarded the Purple Heart.

After the war and back in Pennsylvania, Frank had several post-traumatic stress breakdowns. His brother Lucas, who was in World War II serving in the Pacific Theater, also had a post-traumatic stress attack and was taken by the Veteran's Administration to the VA hospital for treatment.

The similarity of their wartime experiences and post-traumatic stress disorders after the war probably accounted for the fact that, as Edna Marie Protheroe said in the notes above, "The two of them were very close".


In a phone call on 30 Jun 2009 between Edna Marie Protheroe and Lucas Joseph Walter, Jr:

Her husband Frank had a "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" episode when he snapped when he saw a local policeman in uniform that made him think of Germans. Frank had been complaining about a headache and one day he tripped over some kids' toys and fell down the cellar stairs. Got knocked out and when he woke up he just went berserk. Put his arm through the cellar door window and cut his arm all the way up. He was running up the steps and she said she was "holding him back by the belt 'cause I didn't know where he was going to go or what he was going to do". Her neighbor from across the street happened to be coming over and she shut Marie's front door and stood by it so Frank couldn't get out. The girl next door was visiting with her boyfriend and he got Frank on the floor and she put a tourniquet on his arm. Marie called Frank's dad and he came over, but Frank had run over the hill and a fireman got a hold of him and put him in the ambulance. One guy was gonna punch him, but his dad said "Don't hit him, he doesn't know what he's doing. Don't you dare hit him, you'll kill him." They had to strap him down in the ambulance and they wouldn't let Marie go with him--they said it was not safe. They took him to St. Francis Hospital, run by the nuns. Every time that cop came near him, Frank went after him--it's a good thing he was strapped down or he would have killed him. He thought the cop was one of the Germans; Frank said to the cop "I told Marie I was coming home and I'm going home." Marie said she went up to talk to him and "he called me a whore". The hospital gave him a couple of shots to try to calm Frank down, but they said it would be like giving him aspirin. He didn't know where he was or nothing. A doctor was sewing up his arm and suddenly he came to and looked around. He saw Marie there and asked her what's going on? Marie said she asked him "do you know where you are?" and he said "no, the hospital?" The doctor talked to him and told him you're OK now. The doctor then asked him if he wanted a cigarette, and gave him one while he sewed up his arm. Frank stayed in the hospital for about a week; they called it a nervous breakdown. Marie said they had to go back and forth several times afterwards to see the "nerve doctor".

Frank didn't say much about the war. He did say that one time they beat him up real bad in Germany and left him for dead. Frank did talk about staying with a family in Holland when he was on leave from the Army--and had even asked Marie to send soap and other items to give to them since the family couldn't get these types of things.

----------------------------------
From Edna Marie Protheroe in a phone call with Lucas Joseph Walter, Jr. on 26 Mar 2011: Frank Gerald Walter's draft status is an interesting story. When he was due to be inducted, he was working at a factory making chains and his company successfully convinced the draft board that he was needed at the company because his work was critical to the war effort. There seems to have been an ongoing battle between the draft board and the company, but he was able to get two or three of these deferments before the need for soldiers got so critical that he was finally forced to enter the Army, and at the worst possible time for him--a few days before his first anniversary and just a month before his first son was born.

Germans among early settlers
By Jim Bradshaw
German people were among the first permanent settlers to come to colonial Louisiana, most of them coming during the 1720's to establish themselves at Cote des Allemands, the German Coast, in what is today St. James and St. Charles parishes. The sons and daughters of some of these early families would one day come to Acadiana, but these are not the families that make up the substantial Germans community in Acadia parish.

New waves of German immigration came to Louisiana in the 19th century. These were quite different from the 18th century German settlers who had settled on the Mississippi River. The later immigrants were, for the most part, middle class, and often left Germany because of repressive political conditions, or because they believed they would find better economic opportunities in Louisiana.

The advent of the industrial Revolution, particularly in the northern and western German states, cause the lower middle class to seek a new area to continue their traditional ways of work and of life. By 1839 a German-language newspaper had been established in New Orleans and it was followed by numerous others. The Deutsche Zeitung was founded in 1847, and continued publication until well into the 20th century. A German Protestant Church was built in 1830, to be followed by a German Catholic Church, and in 1840 both Lutheran and Methodist congregations built churches in New Orleans. By 1860 over half the total population of New Orleans was made up of Germans. Many of them retained their language and culture into the 20th century.

The settlement of a German community at Robert's Cove developed indirectly out of the German community in New Orleans. Father Peter Leonhard Thevis, pastor of Holy Trinity German Catholic Church in New Orleans, convinced relatives and friends from his native land to emigrate to Louisiana. The advance guard of the immigrants consisted of Father Thevis' brother Peter Joseph Thevis, his nephew John Gerhard Thevis (son of Jacob Thevis), and a friend, Hermann Joseph Grein. They met Father Thevis in New Orleans, who arranged for them to meet with Anton Frey, a real estate developer with investments at Robert s Cove, near Rayne.

On Jan. 13, 1880, Father Thevis, John Gerhard Thevis and Hermann Grein visited the Robert's Cove site. It wasn't easy to get to. The rail line wasn't finished and the roads were still mostly headland paths. The party of Germans went from New Orleans by steamboat to Washington, then by cart to Opelousas and from there to Prudhomme City, then by foot from there to Robert's Cove.

After looking over the land, the two Thevis relatives returned with the priest to New Orleans and spent the rest of 1880 and early 1881 working in a brewery. In early 1881, Grein returned to Germany to bring over the first settlers: the fiancee of Peter Joseph Thevis and, he hoped, a bride for himself. He returned in March 1881 with nine immigrants: Joseph and Josepha Vondenstein and their five children; Johanna Piepers (Thevis fiancee); August Leonards; but unfortunately no bride for himself. He would remain a bachelor until he died.

The first families emigrated to Robert Cove in 1881 from the westernmost part of Germany, an area bordered on three sides by the Netherlands, near the German city of Geilenkirchen bei Aachen. Fifteen families and seven single men would follow the original vanguard, and, by the end of 1882, there were 79 Germans established at Robert's Cove.

The Opelousas Courier took note of the arrival of the German settlers, reporting on Jan. 7, 1882:

"... about 70 Germans, men, women, and children, stopped at Rayne Station about six weeks ago looking for homes. Mr. J. D. Bernard, than whom a more hospitable man does not live in Louisiana, the leading merchant of Rayne, and Mr. Numa Chachere, also a whole-souled young gentleman, took the immigrants in charge and provided for their immediate needs. They soon found land for them, about four miles from Rayne at Robert's Cove, adjacent to Hoffman's Bridge on Bayou Plaquemine. They purchased 600 acres of land, including a large portion of woodland. Chachere reports them as industrious and thrifty farmers with money enough to make themselves comfortable homes after paying for the land. They are setting up a sawmill and will saw all lumber needed for houses and barns. They are pious Catholics and have a German priest to visit the Rayne church every two weeks for their spiritual benefit."

Several families purchased land, ranging from 50 to nearly 400 acres each. Some families came to this country with enough money to pay cash for their farms. Others made down payments and expected to earn the balance from the land. The names of these early families, and those who came in the succeeding years were Gossen, Olinger, Habetz, Ohlenforst, Zaunbrecher, Carmer, Thevis, Berken, Heinen, Meyer, Reiners, Spaetgens, Leonards, Theunessen, Schneider, Wirtz, Grein, Hensgens, Schlicher, Scheufens, Gielen, Schoffhausen. Many of their descendants live at Roberts Cove today.

There was little more immigration from Germany to Louisiana after the first two years of settlement at Robert's Cove, but those who had took care of growth. By 1900 more than 70 children had been born in Robert's Cove.

Naturally, the Germans wanted to establish their own church and school. Several efforts were made. Father Aegidius Hennemann had been sent from Munich to the United States to locate a new home for a Benedictine monastery which feared that the German government might expel the entire order, as it had done to the Jesuit order earlier. He met Father Thevis in New Orleans, who told him about Robert's Cove. Father Hennemann bought land there in 1883 and established both a church and school. He intended to move the monastery to Robert's Cove, but the Bavarian government had successfully protected the order from expulsion. Neither the church nor the school survived the year.

In 1885, however, a permanent church was legacy incorporated as St. Leo's Parish, on land donated by Anton Frey. A German-language school was opened during the same year, and continued until the outbreak of World War I, when the state legislature passed several anti-German laws. One, in particular, forbade the teaching of German in public or private schools. German-language instruction resumed after the war but ended finally in 1927.

326 After 12-Hour Ordeal
COAST GUARD RESCUES 5 MEN FROM LAKE ERIE
SANDUSKY - Five men, including an Akron attorney,
today were recovering at Sandusky Memorial Hospital after a
Coast Guard rescue ended a 12-hour ordeal in Lake Erie waters
for the men.
Reported suffering from exposure but in satisfactory
condition today are: Atty. Edward Krutel, 32, Akron; Frank Talosi,
40, Alliance; Wilbur Haidet, 37, Bernard Ottle, 37, and Marvin
Brahler, 40, all of Louisville, O.
The five were flipped into Lake Erie when their rented boat
overturned sometime last evening, off Huron lighthouse, according to
the Coast Guard. The boat anchor had become entangled in a commer-
cial fishing net, and in their efforts to free it, the men turned the boat
over. It had been rented at Erics Livery, Sandusky, late yesterday,
reportedly for a three-day period.
ALL NIGHT SEARCH
The Coast Guard search for the men was launched after the
wife of one of the fishermen called Huron police to report them missing.
Police in turn called the Erie County Sheriffs Department which brought
the Coast Guard into an all-night search.
At 5:20 a.m. today, the C.G. boat found the five me, clinging to
the overturned boat at the net off Huron. Three of the men, Ottle, Talosi,
and Brahler, were rushed to Sandusky by ambulance and the other two
men by police car.
The men and their wives had rented a cottage at Grand Forest
Beach, and the wives became alarmed when the five failed to return for
supper last night. The boat, they reported today, turned over just 15
minutes after theyd gone out into the lake.
EFFORT FUTILE
During the night, a craft came within 100 yards of the men
clinging to the overturned boat, but their efforts to attract attention were
futile, and the other craft roared off into the darkness again.
Today, an attending physician reported the five suffering from
combined shock, skin burns, and exposure. The burns, he reported, came
when the men, in an effort to obtain something buoyant to help in their
struggles to remain afloat, emptied a can of gasoline. The gasoline, spreading
on the water surface, burned their skins.

329 Agnes, or Gramma Agie to her grandchildren, was widowed in 1927 when her husband contracted blood poisoning after a fall at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington. Because of no antibotics during that time, she was left to raise 7 children on her own. Along with the older children, she work a variety of jobs to support her children following his death.

After they were raised, she sold her house to Vaughan Stoffel (her third oldest child) . He and his wife, Louise, raised their three children until the untimely death of Louise at age 33 (1948). Following Louise's death, Agnes moved back into her old home with Vaughan and helped him raise his three chidren; Paul, Jill and Judy.

Time line of early life and work in aeronautics[edit]
Received A.B., University of Notre Dame, Indiana, 1883, A.M., 1885, M.S. 1890; M.E. Cornell University, 1892; Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University, 1898.[1]
Professor of Mathematics, University of Notre Dame 1885-1889, mathematics and mechanics, 1890-1892.[1]
He suggested to stage an International Conferences on Aerial Navigation in 1893 and acted as Secretary, with Octave Chanute as Chair. .,[1][2]
He was a professor of mechanics (physics) at the Catholic University of America, from 1895 apparently until 1913-1914 (but one source says only till 1908).[1][3]
In 1901, as part of a pioneering aeronautical laboratory, Zahm built a wind tunnel with financing from Hugo Mattullah. It operated until 1908.[4] It has been described as "America's first significant wind tunnel."[5]
He joined the Aero Club of America shortly after it was founded, in 1905.[6]
Zahm's 1911 book Aerial Navigation described the historical development of experimental aircraft that led to functional airplanes.[7]
Testimony in Wrights vs. Curtiss[edit]
Zahm testified as an aeronautical expert in the 1910-1913 patent lawsuits by the Wright brothers who alleged patent infringement against inventor and manufacturer Glenn Curtiss.[8] His testimony took over a month. He testified on behalf of the Curtiss after declining to testify for the Wrights,[9] possibly because the Wrights refused to pay Zahm to appear as an expert witness whereas the Curtiss interests did.[10] Zahm had been on friendly terms with both sides previously but became a long term adversary of the Wrights during and after the trial.[4][11] He worked closely with Glenn Curtiss on the controversial 1914 flying tests of the (substantially rebuilt and modified) Langley Aerodrome in an attempt to show that Langley's machine had been capable of powered flight with a man aboard before the Wrights' glider was.[12]

Zahm testified that earlier experimental gliders and glider designs and publications, before those of the Wrights, had included a variety of monoplane and biplane designs, with horizontal and vertical rudders, and steering concepts of ailerons and wing warping. There were complex technical issues, notably whether Curtiss's airplanes used a vertical rudder and ailerons in ways that closely matched the patented design of the Wrights. Experts testified on both sides and sometimes contradicted one another on matters of fact. In the end judge John R. Hazel ruled in Feb. 1913 for the Wrights, and on appeal a higher court agreed with this decision in 1914.[11]

Later years[edit]
Zahm became the chief research engineer of Curtiss Aeroplane Company in 1914-1915 and then the director of the U.S. Navy's Aerodynamical Laboratory, 1916-1929.[1]

Zahm became the chief of the Aeronautical Division at the Library of Congress from 1929 or 1930 until 1946, and held the Guggenheim Chair of Aeronautics there.[1][13]

Zahm died in 1954, and was buried in the Community Cemetery, Notre Dame, Indiana.[1]

Honors[edit]
Zahm was invited to be a member of the Cosmos Club of Washington, DC, and received his mail there while on the faculty of Catholic University.
Recipient of Laetare medal at University of Notre Dame, 1925.
Awarded the Mendel Medal at Villanova College in 1930 for his pioneering work in scientific aeronautics.[14]
Daniel Guggenheim Chair of Aeronautics in the Library of Congress, 1929-1946.[1]
Publications, bibliography and archival information[edit]
More than 100 of his articles and papers were collected in Aeronautical papers 1885-1945 of Albert F. Zahm, volumes I and II.[15] He wrote the book Aerial Navigation (1911),[16] and a booklet called Early Powerplane Fathers.[17] His papers are kept by the University of Notre Dame.

[Harold M Wiest.FTW] Emigrated to Rohrbach in 1809 with his first wife Philippina (see Faijok Fam #4, 1816 Rohrba ch Census). Johann Georg Feiock [spelled Veiock in the Pfalz] was born about 1804, probably in Darstein, Pfalz--he was listed as 45 in 1850 & 52 in the 1858 census; but his sister, Jakobina was born in 1805 [based on her age at death] and he is older. I have not been able to find the Pfalz records for this family. They lived in Darstein, a village a couple km north of Vorderweidental. There are no church records after 1798, so one can only rely on the civil records, which do exist. However, in 1998, we were unable to spend enough time at the Standesamt in Bad Bergzabern to locate these records. One day we hope to do more searching there or obtain information by mail. Johann Georg moved to Kischinew [now Chischinau, capital of Moldova], probably in the early 1860s, but certainly after the 1858 census. We have not found a death record for Johann Georg Feiock, but he died before May1864. His son, Jacob [born 1837 Rohrbach], was married in Chotin [near Kischinew] on 3 May 1864, to Karolina Kulmann [who came from Uskerthal in Galicia]. The marriage records describes Jacob's parents as--Georg Feijak, a Dienst [laborer] of Lubel gesellschaft [a company in Kischenew] and Barbara, both deceased [the 1858 census says Barbara died in 1855]. Jacob was amachinist by Riegler [the name of his employer in Kischinew]. What happened to the couple is unknown to me, but they might have moved to Galicia, as I have had email contact with an American descendent of a Jacob Feiock, who emigrated from Austrian Galicia, whose age is awfully close.

346 Alta Louisa was often called Lou, or P2Y (pronounced pa-too-ee). When Lou's brother wrote to her from the war, the government would black out the letter's salutation stating "Dear P2Y" because they thought it was code for something.

There is also some controversy over whether Gildow is spelled "Gildow" or "Gildou". 
Gildow, Alta Louisa (I151844)
 
347 Altenkirchen is a district in Rhineland-Palatinate It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the North Rhine-Westphalian Oberbergischer Kreis and Siegen-Wittgenstein and the districts of Westerwaldkreis and Neuwied
The history of the district is linked with the Westerwald region.
The district was established in 1816 by the Prussianadministration. It combined the earldom of Wildenburg and the two earldoms of Sayn . The former had been part of Berg , the latter ones had belonged to the duchy of Nassau .

348 Although not contiguous with the rest of Bavaria -- that is, they did not share a common border -- the region of western Germany on the Rhine River known as the Palatinate (in German: Pfalz) was governed as part of the state (until 1918, Kingdom) of Bavaria (in German: Bayern; capital: Munich) from 1816 to 1945. Its administrative seat was the city of Speyer. Other major Palatine cities include Kaiserslautern, Ludwigshafen, Pirmasens, and Zweibrücken. During the 130 years that the Palatinate was governed as part of Bavaria, it was often referred
to as Rhenish Bavaria (in German: Rheinbayern).

In 1920, Bavaria had to give up a small portion of the Palatinate (Pfalz) and Prussia had to give up a small portion of its Rhineland, or Rhine Province, to form the "Saarland", a French creation placed under League of Nations control. It was France's aim to eventually annex the Saarland, an aim that was thwarted twice, both in 1935 and in 1955.

Saarland is today a German state, and its capital is the city of Saarbrücken. Reinheim is located in Saarland, in today's Saar Palatinate District (in German: Saarpfalz-Kreis).

Just so that you have the complete picture: Following World War II and the break-up of the huge state of Prussia, the southern half of the Prussian Rhineland or Rhine Province, the Bavarian Palatinate (Pfalz), and the region of Hesse known as Rhenish Hesse (in German: Rheinhessen) combined to form today's state of Rhineland-Palatinate (in German: Rheinland-Pfalz), with the Rhenish Hessian city of Mainz
as its capital. But as mentioned, Reinheim is located in today's state of Saarland.

Reinheim, by the way, is no longer an independent town. Today, Reinheim is part of the town of Gersheim.
