| MKI Annotation | [From Kircher Family Papers, 1879-1958, Chicago Public Library: Julius Kircher (1859-1940) first studied Latin under a Danish vagabond to whom his parents had offered lodging in their southern Indiana home. From this beginning, he went on to become a student of Greek and Hebrew as well, graduating from Elmhurst College, Elmhurst, Illinois, and from Eden Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri. In 1889, he married Emma Bandow (1867-1910) and was installed as pastor of Trinity Evangelical Church at 22nd Place and Damen Avenue, in the Lower West Side neighborhood. He spent a fifty-year pastoral career at Trinity, continuing after official retirement in conducting a monthly service in German.] |
