Frederick Scheuerle was born in Württemberg in 1868. At this time, Württemberg was still an independent kingdom in the German Confederation; this was shortly before the founding of the German Empire (the “Second Reich”) in 1871. At the age of 15, Frederick emigrated to America along with his parents, sister Marie, and younger siblings, departing from Bremen aboard the Hapsburg and arriving in Baltimore on March 28, 1884. Along with his father, Paul Scheuerle, he soon found work as a tanner; the 1885 Cincinnati directory shows them living at 22 and 26 Browne St., both employed as tanners. He was still working as a tanner in 1894 at his daughter Freda's birth, and was working at Currier Tannery in Cincinnati by 1900. Fred was naturalized by around 1889.
In 1891, Frederick's mother died; soon afterwards, he returned to Germany for unknown reasons. In August of 1892, he sailed back to America on board the Augusta Victoria. He most likely met his wife Anna Wohlfelder during this voyage (they were both aboard this ship without immediate family, and both travelled zwischendeck (steerage)). The inventor Nikola Tesla also happened to be aboard this ship, sailing back to New York after his own mother's funeral in Serbia.
Fred and Anna arrived at Ellis Island on August 29th, 1892, and were married in Cincinnati 17 days later. (Fred's brothers Paul Jr. and Charles also married women named Anna, as did his cousin Max, so there were four Anna Scheuerles in Cincinnati around this time.) The couple lived on Plymouth Ave., near Bates.

Regarding Babette's family: Her first husband was born in Germany and probably was Johan but he went by John Adam Stammler. He was 10 years older than she. Her second husband was Frank George Baier (born in Austria) and the love of her life. (She was a few years older than he was.) Family said John was very stern and Frank was fun-loving and kind. As for the children: Ella is Eleanor. She married Thomas Mitchell. I never met her or Edna - both died of health issues before I came to the family. Johann Jr. is John Frank Stammler - not a Jr at all. John and Eddie both married women named Virginia who were called Ginny. (I don't remember their maiden names.) The 3 sisters were very close and Eddie was treated like a prince. Babette lived with Ruth in her last years.
ReplyDeleteSince Fred is your line, you might like this: His sister, Barbara (or Babette) wrote in her diary - "March 7, 1949 This day my last brother, Fred, died. He lived to be almost 82 years of age. He died of a heart attack. The tenth he was buried. Alma, Ruth and I went to his funeral. He was buried in Walnut Hills. The weather was very cold." On March 10, 1949, she wrote, "My brother Fred was buried this afternoon in the Walnut Hills cemetery. God, I hope, will give him rest."
