Benjamin Stolz biography
Außer dem Geburtsdatum und dem Bild gibt es nicht viel Informationen.

Surnames: SNYDER, SCHNEIDER, STRAUSS, HENN
I just want to thank you for the information you posted on St. Joseph's Cemetery. One of my ancestors, Dorothea HENN-SNYDER (SCHNEIDER) and her husband Charles were buried there.
Your site is fascinating and it answers a big question as to why my HENN ancestors came from Baden to the Syracuse area ----Salt. My great grandfather, John HENN, his parents and siblings came in October of 1853. John was a cooper and the family eventually settled in West Monroe. After service in the Civil War, he came to Michigan and started a barrel-making business in Lapeer County and shipped the black ash staves back to Syracuse. He eventually became a farmer and then went into local politics. He died in 1919 and is buried in Lapeer County, MI. His siblings all remained in New York.
I also found another sister of John's that was buried in St. Joseph's.
The HENNs came from Doerlesberg which is just southeast of Wertheim. There were nine children in the Franz HENN family and all except John stayed in New York (Onondaga, Oswego, Oneida and Madison Counties). I am tracking the last daughter, Josephine, and find her living in West Monroe in 1865 and cannot locate her after that.
Dorothea (Dorothy) HENN married Charles SCHNEIDER (SNYDER) in 1856 and lived her remaining years in Syracuse. Her sister, Generosa (Rosa) HENN, married Henry STRAUSS between 1860-70. They also lived out their lives in Syracuse. I found Henry STRAUSS as a plot owner in St. Joseph's Cemetery thanks to your site.

Surnames: SAXER
Thank you so much for translating the entry on Leonard A. Saxer.
The following is as much as I have been able to find.
Leonard A.'s father, who was also named Leonard and also a physician, was Swiss, but I do not have any details. Leonard A.'s stepfather, Dr. Frederick Glauner, was from Germany, may have been a widower, and, seems to have been killed in a railroad accident (although I can not locate any additional information) within a year of his marriage to Leonard A.'s widowed mother. (Source: an on-line copy of a centennial history of Syracuse)
Leonard A.'s mother, Mary, graduated from Syracuse University Medical School with her M.D. only several years before her son. (Source: an alumni publication found on-line).
Leonard A.'s sister, Arabella (?), married a dentist, Rudolf Listman [later spelled Lissmann ?] from Germany, and they had at least two sons. She died in 1895.
(Source: census records)
My interest is really in Leonard A.'s mother (I think that she was born in New York in the 1830s, but there are no leads to her parents, her siblings (if any), or her death), and her daughter. If you have any ideas, I would appreciate your help.

Surnames: SCHREINER; Harugari, Arion Club
Just writing to let you know how much I enjoyed your website. I too love to see our German ancestry kept alive. My grandfather was the Treasurer for the Harugari in Syracuse many years ago. His name was August SCHREINER (son of Jakob SCHREINER).... Our family still retains the official stamp of the Harugari in Syracuse, as it was passed down from my grandfather. It is quite interesting; it is a cast-iron lion's head stamp, with the stamp reading "Deutsch Wache Loge." It also has Syracuse on it and the lodge number, if I remember correctly.
We also still have a few of the plates used at the Harugari dinners. The plates are simple white with 2 thin blue bands that lead to three leaves enscribed with "D O H" (one letter per leaf), and the words "liebe," "nität," "Huma," and "Freundschoff." The leaves look like oak leaves. The china plates were made by O.P.C.O Syracuse China. design J-9.
My grandfather was an immigrant from Germany arriving here around 1914 from the Black Forest region. My great-grandparents also all came from Germany in the 1860's. There was also another German Society Club in Syracuse called the Arion. I am not sure if it is still in existance or not. I know it was around at least between the 1950's and 60's as we used to go there....Regarding the Arion, I don't think I have anything on it, except for The Program from their 72nd Anniversary Concert, from May of 1968 performed at Grant Junior High School. The program though is somewhat interesting, because it has ads in it naming the various German organizations in the Syracuse area. It may seem odd to have something so old, but it was a concert I went to to watch my grandfather sing at, so I kept it. ... [We are] trying to retain the traditions so they are not lost from our family....as it was my grandfather's wish that "We Never Forget The Homeland."

I am born in Alsace (Roeschwoog) maiden name of Kocher. However I married an American who is also a descendant of Roeschwoog folks. His last name is Schreckenberger. I met him when he was visiting his great uncle and family in Roeschwoog. The family settled in Buffalo, New York, with half of the Schreckenberger children and the others remained living near Roeschwoog. A sister of my husband (born Schreckenberger) is married and lives in Syracuse for the past 25 years.
I am always very interested in hearing and reading stories of immigrants from my home in Alsace.

Surnames: SCHLOSSER
My great-great-grandfather, Charles Schlosser, was the one who donated the land for the park where the
Sniper monument is. He had a wagon or carriage making business nearby at the corner of Laurel and North State Street. Charles came to Syracuse in 1850 and died there. He had a son named Charles H., sons George Louis and John P., and a son Jacob who moved to Waterford, Pennsylvania.

Surname: STOHRER, HESSELER
In German the name Stohrer means “treestump.” The Stohrer family which currently resides in
Concord, New Hampshire came from the town of Hohenstaufen, province of Wurttemberg, Germany.
My current research dates the direct family line back to 1680. Johannes (born 4 March 1794) and
Anna Friederike (Blessing) (born 9 August 1797) STOHRER left Hohenstaufen and emigrated to America in 1851
and by the 1860 census had settled in Syracuse, NY. They had three children, Friederike (daughter),
Johann Georg, and Philipp Ulrich STOHRER.
Philipp Ulrich STOHRER (born 12 July 1838) was 13 when he arrived in America (1851) and his son, John Frederick,
would be the first Stohrer from this line to be born in the U.S. (he began the Concord, NH line).
Philipp Ulrich Stohrer married Mary Hesseler sometime before 1860. Their children were:
Emanuel, John Frederick, and Andrew Mary. His wife Mary died, I believe,
in the 1870's or 80's and Phillip remarried. The 1900 Syracuse census indicates his wife's name
was Anna M., also from Germany. A note in the family history says she too may
have been a Hesseler but I think her maiden name may have been Stohrer also.
Any suggestions of where I could check?

Hi, I wrote you awhile back regarding my Hooge ancestors from Syracuse, NY.,
originally from Germany. At the time I had no information at all on Ferdinand
Hooges first wife. Just yesterday I found the death notice on his son and it
listed his mothers maiden name. This is the only clue I have on Ferdinands
first wife. Her maiden name is listed as Schlee and it says she is from
Germany. I have listed the spelling as it was shown but believe that it might
actually be spelled differently. I also have a copy of the obituary for
Ferdinand and his wife Mary if anyone might be interested.

a Testamentary letter, dated 1886, in the Surrogate
Court in the Onondaga County courthouse. They have
a lot of good stuff and well indexed....[In the Geschichte

Surnames: SCHILLY, SCHWILK, HUMBERT, LUX, BORMANN, OSSWALD, GEMMER
The family of Friedrich HUMBERT and Eva Maria LUX came to Syracuse around
1850. Both were from Hatten, Bas Rhin, Alsace. Friedrich himself does not
appear to have come to America. He died in Alsace in 1841. But his wife Eva
did come. A family Bible says she died in Syracuse in 1851, shortly after
arriving.
We know that five of the Humberts' children lived in Syracuse. Friedrich
Humbert, the eldest, was born in 1824 in Hatten and died on 9 Jul 1895 at
707 University Avenue, Syracuse. Syracuse City Directories from 1862 - 1868
list him as a cabinet maker with a shop at 64 N. Salina St. His home was at
108 Butternut. According to a newspaper clipping at the Onondaga Historical
Association, Frederick Humbert and his wife Mary bought the house in 1853.
Buying the house was connected in some way to the German Community of
Emmigrants Friends Society. Friedrich first belonged to St. John's Lutheran
Church and later joined Park Central downtown. His wife, Maria Elizabeth
Bormann, was born in 1832 in Hanover (Prussia) and died 13 Jul 1909 in
Syracuse. They were married 22 January 1852 at St. John's Lutheran Church in
Syracuse. Between 1852 and 1873 they had 9 children, some of whom resided in
Syracuse all their lives.
A second child of Friedrich and Eva Maria Humbert in Syracuse was Salome
Humbert. She married Phillip OSSWALD at St. John's Lutheran on 25 Jan 1852.
He was from Hessen, Darmstadt. Salome died in Syracuse on 27 Feb 1868.
A third child, Dorothea Humbert, married Phillip SCHILLY at St. John's
Lutheran on
8 Jan 1854. She died 3 Oct 1899.
A fourth child, Magdalena Humbert, married Wilhelm Friedrich SCHWILK on 29
Apr 1856 in Syracuse. She was born in Hatten in 1835 and died in Schenctady,
NY on 23 Feb 1907. Schwilk was Pastor of the 3rd Evangelical Protestant
Dutch Church in Schenectady at the time they married and later formed his
own church known as the Temple Gemeinde. He died in Schenectady on 30 Dec
1906.
A fifth child, Maria Eva Humbert, also in Syracuse married a man named
GEMMER.
A footnote to this story has to do with my wife Nancy Laubengayer
Smothergill. Nancy is the great granddaughter of Magdelena Humbert and
Reverend Wilhelm Schwilk. Although Nancy was born and raised in Ithaca, NY,
not far from Syracuse, and we actually have lived in Syracuse since 1967,
she knew nothing about the Humberts of Syracuse until just a few years ago.

upstate NY. I have the complete records if they would be useful (wife's name
