VOLLMER- Died in this city on the 10th of April. Mr. Gottlieb Vollmer died in his 57th year of Heart Disease.
His funeral will take place today at 3 o'clock PM at his residence on 5th, between Sylvanie and Angelique Streets.
Friends and aquaintences are invited to attend.
Gottlieb Vollmer was at one time a merchant in Balingen, Germany, and was probably in the linen business; Balingen is not far from Sulz Am Nekar; our father (Gustave Vollmer) was born in Ballingen, in 1839.
The family had also lived in Stuttgart, Germany, as the daughters were born there. It is said by our own parents that he left Germany on account of political strife, and that the family were well-to-do, but ther money and property were confiscated by the government at the time. It would be interesting to know just why.
When the family lived in St. Joseph, our Grandfather was Market Master of the old Patee Market in the south part of the town, how long he held this position we do not know.
It has been said that our Grandmother Vollmer had a brother (Marz) in the Consular Service, but we do not know in what capacity.
GOTTLIEB VOLLMER
In special meeting of the German School Society, (Association) on the 11th of April in the Turner Hall, were the Messrs. C. Salzmann, Ph. Bansbach and G. Heinrichs appointed as a committee to draft Resolutions regarding the death of Gottlieb Vollmer, for many years a member of the School Society. The following Resolutions were proposed and unaminously adopted.
RESOLVED, that the Society in Mr. GOTTLIEB VOLLMER, who as one of the Founders and diligent officers acheived such worthwhile services, lost in him an inestimable help, and the cause of German education, a most-highly respected co-worker. That the community will miss him as a brave and good citizen and his family loses a loving husband and father, with which bitter loss we deeply sympathize.
That we as a testimony of our sympathy, wear the usual mourning insignia for 30 days and pledge ourselves in repectful duty to stand by the grieving widow, in thought and deed.
RESOLVED, that a copy of these RESOLUTIONS be presented to Mrs. Vollmer by the President.
Geo. Carolus, Secy.
Wm. Kneer, President.
St. Joseph, Missouri, the 11th April 1866.
Just when the above mentioned German School Society was founded in St. Joseph I do not know; I remember well that when I was a boy attending school in St. Joseph, I was first sent to the German-English schools in town, where German language was taught in all grades, at the largest school being at 10th and Edmond or Charles street; our brother Gus attended the 10th street school and no doubt other members of our families attended the school. -William Frederick Vollmer, 1941. |
