I thought you might like to know why I shared an old story yesterday and am sharing another one today. It just requires one word to explain why. Grandkids. I have written two different blog posts that focus on a St. Louis business that I call Telle’s Deli. The one attached to today’s post was … More Return to Telle’s Deli
Not long ago, I wrote the story titled, Rudolph Roth and the Cigar Dealer’s Daughter. In that post, it was noted that Rudolph’s brother, Leo Roth, a man from Wittenberg, had married a girl, Linna Mueller, from Uniontown. Today, you will read about yet another brother in that Roth family, and he was another Wittenberg … More Another Wittenberg Man Finds Uniontown Bride
Ernst Theobald Telle is today’s birthday boy. Especially if you are a regular reader, when you are told the surnames of his parents, you would know that this story begins in Uniontown. Ernst was born on January 20, 1897, so today would be his 128th birthday. Ernst was the son of Reinhold and Anna (Hopfer) … More Gordonville Blacksmith; Cape Auto Mechanic
Otto Michael Finger is today’s birthday boy. He was born on January 4, 1890, so today would be his 135th birthday. Otto was the son of Wilmar and Liberta (Telle) Finger.

In a previous post, Uniontown Hall of Fame Names, I noted that perhaps the most notable “Uniontown Names” were Hemmann, Hopfer, Frentzel, and Telle. You will read a story of a couple that unites two of these names. You will also discover that this couple qualifies to be one of those “cradle to grave” couples … More Uniontown Telle/Hopfer Twosome
One of the big questions I came away with while researching the story of today’s birthday girl is how to spell her first name. I challenge you to look at the various documents I will display to see how it is spelled. You will find several different variations. And then, when all is said and … More Oswald and Otillie – Longtown Funke’s
Quite a few previous posts on this blog have told the story of men and women who were lifelong single people. I find it quite interesting that in several of those cases, I have discovered that there was more than one child in a family that remained unmarried for their entire lives and often lived … More Telle Twosome – Uniontown Unmarrieds
Pauline Ruth Schaefer will be one of the highlighted characters today because she was born on April 4, 1899. Ruth would be celebrating her 125th birthday today. She would become another one of those characters who would be born and raised here in Perry County, but would spend most of her life elsewhere. Her future … More Ruth and William Make Hake Wedding Cake
Today’s post will include a birthday boy and a birthday girl. That is because both the bride and the groom in today’s tale shared the same day of birth. However, they did not share the same year of birth. I will begin with the groom because he is the one found in our German Family Tree, and it … More Happy Birthday to Both Rudolph and Marie Telle
I confess. When I saw the word, ubiquitous, I had to look up its definition because I did not know it. I was looking for a synonym for “numerous” for a possible title. Ubiquitous means “existing or being everywhere”. It turns out to be the exact thing I needed. That is because whenever I do … More Ubiquitous Uniontown Names
