NOTE: Talking to work friends from Germany, Leonard Patterson found out that Karl is 'German", and Charles is the "French" interpretation of the Karl.

 

Family rumors has it that he went to the military school in France (like Annapolis). Came to US. Owned a large amount of land in Kansas City sold it got a large sum of money. He gave it to a priest and went to fight back in Europe. The money disappeared. He was Richard William Kern's grandpa.

From Bruno Schnelzauer - 0ct 16, 2005

Translation from French -

I sent a message to you but I do not know if it arrived on your premise I confirm to you well, Charles is French of origin but its mother tongue is the Alsatian one; a German dialect and which it undoubtedly spoke all its life. To the 6 years age it went to primary school and started to learn the French. After the war of 1870/71 Alsace become German it learned the "Hochdeutsch"; It had left the school around 13/14 years to work. At that time Oberhaslach was a village very poor and catholic, the population lived of a little agriculture (meadows which cows and fruit trees) and especially the drill (loggers and sawmills). At 20 years it had carried out its military service in the German army as any Alsacien.Pour to emigrate at 23 years with U S A; to seek fortune. Like good Alsacien it had kept a certain nostalgia of France and especially of the armies of Napoleon; I think that it has clearing its history. Moreover it were not to know to swim, the river nearest (Beetle) was with more than 10 km and in summer it had helped the parents with work. J ' also have a question to pose to you; why Johann Wilhelm Schnelzauer did he become John William Kern? I hope that these which explanations on the life of Charles in Alsace will allow you to put to an image righter on vautre back large father and to include/understand its quite complicated history for many people. With the pleasure of reading you soon. "Ae schener Gruas year of Charl" Well the hello to Charles into Alsatian.

Original Letter -

Je vous ai envoyé un message mais je ne sais pas s'il est arrivé chez vous

Je vous confirme bien , Charles est Français d'origine mais sa langue

maternelle est l'Alsacien; un dialecte allemand et qu'il a sans doute parlé

toute sa vie.A l'âge de 6 ans il est allé à école primaire et a

commencé à apprendre le Français. Après la guerre de 1870/71 l'Alsace

devenue Allemand il a appris le "Hochdeutsch"; Il a dû quitté l'école vers

13/14 ans pour travailler. A cette époque Oberhaslach était un village très

pauvre et  catholique ,la population vivait d'un peu d'agriculture

(prairies quelles vaches et arbres fruitiers) et surtout de la foret (

bûcherons et scieries). A 20 ans il a dû effectué son service militaire dans

l'armée allemande comme tout Alsacien.Pour émigrer  à  23 ans aux U. S .A;

pour chercher fortune. Comme tout bon Alsacien il a dû gardé une certaine

nostalgie de la France et surtout des armées de Napoléon; Je pense qu'il a

embellie son histoire. De plus  il ne devais pas savoir nager, la rivière la

plus proche (Bruche) était à plus de 10 km et en été il devait aidé les

parents  aux travaux.

J 'ai également une question à vous poser; pourquoi  Johann Wilhelm

Schnelzauer est-il devenu John William Kern?

J'espère que ces quelles explications sur la vie de Charles en Alsace vous

permettrons à mettre une image plus juste sur vautre  arrière grand père et

de comprendre son histoire bien compliquée pour beaucoup de monde.

Au  plaisir de vous lire bientôt.

 

"Ae  schener Gruas an de Charl" Bien le bonjour à Charles en Alsacien.
