S. A. Im Selbstverlage des Verfassers." ---- On t.p. verso: Druck der Paul J. Sendker Printing Co., Ltd., 335 Carondelet Str., New Orleans, La. ---- Deiler was born August 8, 1849 in Altoetting, Upper Bavaria, where he received his musical training. In 1871 he accepted a position in New Orleans as principal of St. Boniface German Catholic School, arriving early in 1872 and later that year married Wilhelmina Saganowski. In 1879 he became professor of German at the University of Louisiana, which later became Tulane University. He was elected president of the North American Singers' Union, first in 1896 and then again in 1903. He was president of the New Orleans German Gazette Publishing Company, and contributed to numerous German and American periodicals. His research interests focused on the history of Germans in the United States, especially in Louisiana, publishing numerous articles on the subject, as well as one book, The Settlement of the German Coast of Louisiana and the Creoles of German Descent (Philadelphia, 1909). In 1898 the German Emperor recognized Deiler's literary achievements and his services to the German people in the U.S. by conferring upon him knighthood in the Order of the Crown. Deiler died at his summer home in Covington, Louisiana on July 20, 1909. |
