| Notes | Prof. B. H. F. Hellebusch was born April 28, 1825 in Damme, Province of Oldenburg, Germany, and died June 12, 1885 in Covington, Kentucky. He was a teacher at Holy Trinity Church (Heiligen Dreiheit) in Cincinnati, and then with the St. Philomena congregation. He then taught for 34 years at the parish school attached to the German-language church Mother of God in Covington, Kentucky, and for the last two years of his life taught at the Catholic school attached to the St. Aloysius Church in Covington. He was considered a first-rate organist, and wrote seven sets of Singmesse hymns, 34 in all; these appeared in English translation in The Catholic Youth's Hymn Book in 1871. Hellebusch's 1858 publication of Gesang und Gebetbuch was used throughout German-language church communities in the United States. Hellebusch first married Marian Putthoff, who died leaving one child in 1860. In 1861 he married Margaret Merle, with whom he had 11 children. B. H. F. Hellebusch and family resided on the southeast corner of Fifth and Russell Streets, Covington. He had two sisters who also resided in Covington, and his brother, Clemens Hellebusch, was a well-known wholesale jeweler in Walnut Hills. --- Inscribed Walburga M. Weber, March, 19, 1909. |
