| MKI Annotation | Henricus vom See is the pen name of Wilhelm Dilg, born in Nierstein onthe Rhine in 1835 (some sources say 1837). According to Robert L. Ward (Bio-bibliography of German-American Writers, 1985) Dilg "fled in 1849 with his father to Milwaukee where he attended the German Academy. Arrested for draft evasion upon his return to Germany in 1858. Returned to America and took a position with J. B. Hoeger Book Co. in Milaukee in 1865. Returned to Germany in 1884 and died in 1903 in Wiesbaden. He is known for his translation of Longfellow's "Hiawatha" and "Evangeline," and he wrote poems related to Native American legends as well as several novellen. Inscribed and stamped: Albert Wallber. Unidentified newspaper, likely the Milwaukee Journal, Monday Dec 18, 1911 P 4 Col 2: "Captain Albert Wallber In Gettysburg Battle. Albert Wallber, who died here on Sunday, Saw Military Service." Albert Wallber, aged 69, 274 Kewaunee St., brother of Judge Emil Wallber, the local German consular agent, died on Sunday at his home. Heart failure is believed to have caused his death. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Max Griebsch, and a son, Ralph Wallber. Mr. Wallber was the secretary of the Brewers Association and formerly was engaged in the insurance business. He was born in Germany and came to Milwaukee in 1855. During the war of the rebellion he was adjutant in the Twenty-sixth volunteer regiment. In the Battle of Gettysburg, he was taken prisoner and after spending ten months in Libby prison he escaped through a tunnel. No funeral arrangements have been made yet. Mr. Wallber was for fifty years a member of the Turnverein Milwaukee and a secretary of the Turner Pioneers." |
