The goal of this cookbook is to convey, throughrecipes/menus and family histories, lifestyles, personalities,values and traits of the Staelin Meyer Family. Via MargoStaelin we have a few of Wilhelmina Meyer Kessler Staelin’srecipes, and both Augusta Ruprecht Meyer Weltner andGeorge Roese compiled extensive family histories. Their writ-ings form the backbone of this “cookbook.” Additionally,Steffi Staelin most generously shared relevant portions of herfather Rolf ’s family document of 1937. Many thanks to MargoH. Staelin, Mimi Staelin Fer rell, Earl Staelin, Steve Staelin,Rick Staelin, Charles Staelin and most especially, David Staelinfor all their help with this project.k.staelin New York City 2000

He came to America in 1867; after clerking in severals t o res he bought a pharmacy on Grand Stre e t ,Wi l l i a m s b u rg, N.Y.. Apparently when he came toAmerica he had to pass a test to become a pharmacist.While he was familiar with the medicines he didn’t knowEnglish very well . So he made inquiries and took theexam in latin.

On March 28, 1871 he married Augusta E. F. L.Ruprecht., and they had seven children, five of whomlived to adulthood.

When his business was sold he bought another in 1880 atthe corner of 1 Ave. and 11 Street, New York City and thefamily moved across the river in the Summer of that year.This was a busy corner, the neighborhood was mainlyIrish, and the business was good. During the Spring of1891 there was a terrible epidemic of influenza in NewYork. Druggists and Doctors had to work to the break-ing point, and Meyer succumbed to the disease May 19,1891 and lies buried in the Ruprecht family plot inEvergreen Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York.

In 1805 he was appointed magistrate and leased, later purchasing,Holstein , a very large plantation (a Rittergut) near Konigsberg, East Prussia. He must have been aman of exceptional traits of character. (Once a poor young student in Petersburg, Russia, and penni-less he came across the Russian boundary -???), and yet he left a fortune to his descendants. He had10 children, to each of them he left a legacy of 100,000 thaler.

Charles Longstreet Weltner was one of the few southernCongressmen, who voted in favor of the civil rights legislation of1964, contributing to the passage of the bill.

Later Charles Longstreet Weltner was placed in an awkward posi-tion, having to run for congress on the same Democratic ticket as asegregationist. He chose to withdraw, thereby ending his politicalcareer. His choice poses the question, does one compromise onesposition if it means that later on you can help bring about greaterchange for the good.

David H. Staelin: My fatherCarl G. and grandfatherRichard A. were both inter -ested in history, includingfamily history, and in theirEuropean travels slowlyaccumulated information,much of which I now have.Much of the informationcomes from DorothyStaelin Koenig of Shiltach(Germany) in ~1957 andfrom Eugen Staelin of Calw(Germany) in 1914; legendand recalled reminiscesprovide most of the rest.

The VillengerStaelin cre s thas a hoodedfalcon inshield andR e i h e s h a l s(spelling?) ashelmet decor.

In the UnitedStates theStaehlins outnum-ber the Staelinsseveral times.

Our branch of the Staelins uses a 4-part shield with a half eagle inquadrants 1 and 4, and the crossbow in quadrants 2 and 3, repeat-ing the crossbow as helmzier on top of the crest between two "buf-falo horns" (were there buffalo in Europe, or were these elephanttrunks?). The American Staelins have replaced the eagles withdoves for at least the last century-I suspect this change occurredduring or after the American emigration in ~1850.

There was also a Staelin family, partly noble, in Memmingen that existed in Bavaria at least until the 1950's. Through the diploma of Kaiser Franz 1st in 1765 Jacob Staelin,Stoersberg, was raised to nobility; It particularly stated that some of his forefathers in Memmingen (in Augsburg) and in Switzerland "stood in honor and worthiness". ThePrincely Wurttemberger service book in the 16-18th century lists 30 Staelins as officials with higher or lower rankings. In addition, the book of the monastery Alpensback(spelling? Alfersback?) in Roethenbacker of 1560 records taxes for a series of Staelins, partly with the remark "as his forefathers", also indicating an old established officialdom.

A group of nobles named Staelin lived in the Baden-Wurttemberg area in the 1100's. Their familywealth was based largely on an earlier large landgrant from a powerful king (Charlemagne?) indebt-ed for some service, presumably in battle.

The family divided into two main branches with dif-ferent coats of arms and spellings. In Villigen (40miles east of Frieburg) in the 13th century theStaehlin Stechsburg family of the "imperial genera-tions" (what does that phrase mean?) was forced toemigrate to Basel, Switzerland because of theirevangelistic stand.

The Nikolauskapelle in Calw (Calf), a small townperhaps 40 miles west of Stuttgart requiring a longwinding drive, memorializes a battle. This memo-rial, perhaps 3-4 meters in diameter, is located atmiddle of a small bridge across the river and has 10coats of arms in its stained-glass windows, includ-ing that of the Staelin's with its two cross-bowmensharing the shield with two half eagles, but withoutthe extra cross-bowman at the top. The memorialplaque roughly reads "Approximately in the year1400 Prince Kaufherrn raised an army which twiceattacked the town, but with fortitude and the helpof St. Nicklaus the town did not surre n d e r,although by the end of the war (Weltkrieg) mytown had sustained heavy bombardment and dam-age; in recognition my lord gave me this countywith its people, lands, water, and the right to taxand raise armies. God bless Calw and all Germany.NDC".

In ~1984 Ellen and I (DHS) visitedCalw and found a Ms. Staelin in the phonebook liv-

ing in Hof Dicke, which we assumed was a small develop-ment due to its prominence on the town map. We drove out and

were surprised to arrive in the square dirt courtyard of a large farm-house and barn complex centered in a large rolling farm estate. The eld-

erly owners, the Beyer's, were home and graciously showed us their coun-try home and talked about the Staelin family history-Mrs. Beyer was relatedto the Staelins, and Ms. Staelin (then about 60?) was visiting elsewhere.

Apparently the Beyer family bought the property from the Staelins in~1850. The Stuttgart home of Jacob Friedrich was pictured there

as a large granite edifice, and the Beyer's had many volumesof what appeared to be old German "Who's Who"'s

listing numerous Staelins.

ment allowed for both sociability and independence.Mimi predeceased Richard by just a few years, dying inthe late 1960s. Richard died at age 94, cheerful and aler tto the end.

Very involved with people and family Mimi would inquirehow one was and what one was currently doing. Sheremembered what one had said and was direct, focusingon the central issues.

Her in-laws (mother, brother, and sister) lived down thestreet and were part of her life. She in turn expectedDorothy, her daughter-in-law to call to say “hello” eachmorning by nine. However, this was hard for Dorothywith her three young boys.

Always a lady, Mimi had a definite sense of humor,though she tended not to tell jokes per se. Intellectuallyenergetic, she graduated from Hunter College at a timewhen it was unusual for women to have a college educa-tion. She and her husband would, if they disagreed,argue in a friendly intellectual way.

An avid garner, she developed a rock garden in the backof her home, and joined the garden club. In addition shewas active in the church, cooked, was a member of theLarchmont Shore Club, and played bridge.

As of 4.2000, all American Staelins descend from Richardand Wilhelmina.

Richard Adolph Staelinb. 1878, the younger son of Adolph Staelin and his wifeMathilda,, used to challenge the professional chess and check-ers players in New York's central park and frequently won, andraced bicycles. After two years at the City University of NewYork he immediately joined the same Manhattan importingfirm as his brother Gus. He retired from the firm at age 80 asa Vice President and Director, having assumed the Director'sseat when Gus retired earlier.

Richard married Wilhelmina Ruprecht Meyer Kessler, whowas raised as a Kessler by her Aunt Mimi Meyer Kessler whenher widowed mother married a blind minister, CharlesWe l t n e r, and moved with the other children to Georg i a .Richard and Wilhelmina (Mimi) had two children, RichardCarl Staelin b. 1908, and Carl Gustav Staelin, 1911-1977. Theymoved from New York City to 201 Larchmont Ave., Larchmont,New York in approx. 1920, and spoke german at home until theonset of world war one. Dick Staelin went off to school (firstgrade) not knowing any English. Carl was four when the fam-ily switched to English.

R i c h a rd A. became one of the charter members of theLarchmont Shore Club and was an excellent bridge player. Hehad a delightful almost elfish quality, with a contagious sparklein his eye. He also could convey concise insightful long viewsof history, based in part on pre-war annual buying trips inEurope and, as a young man, long selling trips across the U.S.As a child I (DHS) delighted in having a grandfather who hadbeen in charge of all toy imports.

In their later years Richard and Mimi moved to a new, largeapartment building designed as a retirement community inBridgeport Ct. Everyone had a private apartment and mealswere served once a day in a common dining hall. This arrange-

They enjoyed golf and racingthrough the New York Times crossword puz-zles together. A marketing executive for alarge food corporation and later for HudsonPaper Company, Dick lived, at various points,in Larchmont, NY, Birmingham, MI, OakPark, IL, and Riverside, CT, where he oftencommuted by train to the city. After he retiredand Dorothy died of cancer, he married an oldfamily friend, Betty, and later moved toDurham, NC, near his eldest son, Rick.

Carl Gustav Staelin1.8.1911 NYC (10lbs)- 6.17.1977 Toledo Always curious and an enthusiast. heceased speaking german in 1915 whileliving in the Bronx, before moving toLarchmont c.1922.

In high school he became an Eaglescout, working summers at CampSiwanoy, was a gymnastic cheerleader,and a star in a school play (for which hewas temporarily suspended when hereinserted the censored line: “Of courseI love you in that fur coat, but i wouldlove you even if it were only a coat oftan.”) At the University of Michigan,where he studied mechanical engineer-ing, his Chi Psi brothers nicknamed him“Chick” and gave him their “most aca-demically improved” award. He earneda varsity letter in swimming (bre a s t-stroke) the year they won the champi-onship; Larchmont Shore Club also gavehim two very large handsome silvercups (swimming trophies) in which thefamily stored medals and golf balls. As acollege senior he met Margaret Hudson( M a rgo) playing tennis at theLarchmont Shore Club, and it was loveat first sight. After a lengthy courtshipof four years they married in Larchmont,December of 1935, the same weekend ashis brother, Dick. His graduation moneyhad been applied toward a Law degreefrom Fordham, after which he practicedpatent law with Owens-Illinois GlassCompany in Toledo. He wrote the earlypatents for fiberglass and helped formthe Owens-Corning Fiberg l a sCorporation,(OCF) where he headedtheir legal department.

As OCF Corporate Secretary and keycorporate link to R&D he contributed totheir evolving corporate strategy, whichhe helped implement internationally ashe negotiated foreign licenses (he was avery tough negotiator) and establishedjoint ventures (OCF et al.); he served onthe boards of several. He retired as VicePresident, law in 1976 and joined a localpatent law firm as counsel, but suc-cumbed to melanoma in 1977.

Extremely efficient and hard driving,his secretary queued his outboundcalls so he could execute them faster.During the Second World War (hewas defer red as an OCF officer) anduntil retirement he carpooled nearlyevery day with co-workers, returninghome promptly near 6pm whereMargo joined him as hostess and part-ner in an active social life. Social andbusiness enter taining were oftenindistinguishable and involved severalevenings per week. They were activein the formation of a World Affairs dis-cussion group (still meeting), theToledo Ski Club, and other groups.He served as president of the ToledoClub and the Inverness Country Club,purchasing large plots of land impor-tant to the present status of those twoclubs, but over intense opposition inboth cases. As president of theToledo Rotary Club he wrote a 72page history of Toledo. He was anavid golfer, even in rain and snow, andhis handicap broke 10, and he wonOCF and club tournaments. He alsodid significant home repairs (raisingthe slate roof of the double garageusing pullies and his own weight),helped Margo wallpaper, had a photo-graphic darkroom, and painted pic-tures. There was time too for familyski trips and other fun with Margoand the children (David, Earl, Mimi,Steven). One of Carl’s tricks waswalking on his hands.

Earlier around the dinner table, hemade up stories about “GrandfatherSpitzpoopen, Cousin Coopern a c k l e ,and Uncle Dooberry” and their chal-lenging global adventures. Carl fre-quently “taught” at the dinner table;e.g. “Write contracts (patents) so:they can be understood, so they can’tbe misunderstood, so they can’t bemisunderstood by a hostile party, sothey can’t be misunderstood by a hos-tile party with a straight face.” Also,“the key to successful negotiations isexcellent preparation.”
