This characteristic clung to our old teacher to the end, as will be attested by a letter from Mr. Frank J. George, the present Recorder of Perry County, a part of which I herewith insert:
Mr. Theodore Stein, Indianapolis, Ind .:
Cannelton, Ind., May 9, 1913.
Dear Sir-A few days ago I was asked to write to you in regard to a biogra- phy of Professor Theodore Dingeldey. I am sorry to say that even though we worked, so to say, side by side for twenty years or more in the school room, and I suppose that he considered me as one of his best friends, still I could not give you much of his history previous to his appearance in this county. From his remarks that were made frequently, it seems that he was jilted in his younger days, and this made him think that the ladies were not to be trusted. I often asked him how it came that he never married. He would say, "Ach, ich hab' schon Trubel genug ohne ein Weib zu ernaehren."
Professor Dingeldey was a great school man. He was a specialist in all branches. As a musician, he was never known to play anything but from the great masters. As a German teacher, he was not to be surpassed by any, if he even had an equal. In history and literature he could begin at one end and follow up in a chronological order with all the principal events up to date. His penman- ship and all of his drawings were like steel engravings. He was an expert botanist. While I was county superintendent of the public schools of this county I engaged him to give talks on botany. He illustrated his talks by using the plants before the Institute.
His liberality was far beyond his means. I saw a teacher in his room who was examining a new Webster International Dictionary which he had just received. She said, "I wish I had one like that." Immediately he said, "Take it," and, of course, she took it. He and I taught in the same school house, and we generally took a stroll around town after school was out after four o'clock. One afternoon a lady was standing near the gate as we passed. She accosted him and said that she was in distress, that she had to pay her taxes and did not have enough money. He asked her how much she needed. She told him that five dollars would do. He put his hand in his vest pocket and threw her a ten-dollar bill over the fence. I am sure that she never paid him back. One Christmas eve we met a woman who asked him

(137
for a Christmas gift. He said, "Come into the store and select yourself a dress." And, of course, she went in and got herself a new dress for which he paid. I told him that he was too liberal. "Fuer wen soll ich dann mein Geld aufheben ?" was his re- ply. His liberality was the cause that he died without a penny to his name. He had a number of libraries at different places, but I could not locate one of them after his death.
I herewith enclose a photo of his little monument which I took the pains to collect from his many friends ; also a number of letters from different contributors. You may read these and get whatever you can out of them to help you in your work. I had letters, too, from Mrs. Myla Ritzinger of Indianapolis, but I cannot find them now.
Mrs. Anna Hartmann Miller helped by paying the man for hauling out the monument from Evansville to Zion's Church, about thirteen miles west of Evans- ville; she also decorates his grave every year with nice flowers. S. Coleman du Pont of New York sent a check for $20 for his brother, who is dead, as you will see in Mrs. Hitchcock's letter to me. Mrs. Annie L. Hitchcock helped me to find sev- eral of his pupils to whom I wrote, but got no help. She was a very dear friend to him. He often spoke of her to me and one time when he was almost at the point of death he asked me to write to her and tell her of his sickness. She wrote such a touching letter that when I read it to him he shed the only tears that I ever saw him shed. She said that he has too strong a heart to give up and that she knew that he would get well and, as soon as he would be convalescent, that he should go to her home; that she would be a good nurse to him, and that her sons would take him upon the lake to get good, pure air, while she would try to cook good things to make him get strong again. Mrs. Hitchcock must be a fine lady, I am sure. You will say so, too, when you read her letters showing her interest in the work of get- ting the monument.
The inscription is as follows :
Here lies the body of Prof. Theodore Dingeldey. Born in Germany 1845. Died Feb. 1903.
Sleep on, dear friend, And take your rest ; We know that you Have done your best.
This stone was erected here By those to whom he was dear.
I took it upon myself to write his epitaph.

I have labored hard to ascertain the names of those who contributed to the erection of the monument to our old teacher with the following list as a result:
Mrs. John Baptist Ritzinger (Myla Fletcher).
Mrs. Clinton L. Hare.
Mrs. William C. Haueisen.
Mrs. Flora Sullivan Stewart Wulschner.
Frank J. George of Tell City.
Mrs. Anna Hartmann Miller of Wadesville, Posey Co., Ind.
Miss Anna Hartmann of Chicago.
Mrs. Annie L. Hitchcock of New York.
T. Coleman Dupont of New York.

Mrs. Anna Hartmann Miller goes regularly every year to Mt. Zion cemetery, about seven miles from her home in Posey county, to beautify the grave with flowers, and to her I am indebted for an account of our good old teacher's death. Her letter on the subject is herewith given verbatim:
Wadesville, Ind., May 6, 1913.
Mr. Stein, Indianapolis, Ind .:
Dear Sir-Yours of the 5th inst. reached me this morning and was rather surprised to receive it and hope that the little I can tell you concerning Mr. Dingel- dey will be of use to you. First of all, I am no relative of Mr. D., only a good friend and fellow-teacher.
Now concerning your questions. I do not know when and where Mr. D. was born, but the supposition is that it was in 1845 (which I think wrong) and in South Germany. I think that perhaps Mrs. Myla Ritzinger of 1525 North Meridian street of your city can tell you about that. Second, to my knowledge Mr. D. has a brother in Butler, Pendleton Co., Kentucky, who styles himself as Rev. Chas. Din- geldey, but who took no notice of Mr. D.'s death. I also corresponded with his sister's son, Alfred Altenkirche, E. T. O. Adelaide, South Australia. Another nephew, Joseph Dingeldey, of Beeck b. Ruhrort, Germany, wrote several letters to me after Mr. D.'s death, but have not heard from any of the above named for several years. Mr. D. died at 1 a. m. on the 17th of February, 1903, and was interred at the Zion's Church cemetery, near St. Philips, Posey Co., Indiana, on February 18, 1903.
OUR OLD SCHOOL
A BRIEF HISTORY
(139)
A tombstone has been erected by his pupils and friends, of which I know several, Mrs. Ritzinger and daughter being the most generous. I myself paid for the trans- portation of stone and men to set it up, from Evansville to the above-named cem- etery.
Mr. D. had a horrible death. On Saturday, February 15, we were all together at an institute and he was seemingly in perfect health. He remained at Parker's Settlement that night on account of rain which continuously poured until Sunday aft- ernoon, when it turned colder and the rain changed to sleet and snow and it grew bit- terly cold. He started for his home about 4 p. m. and had not gone very far when an attack of heart trouble, of which he complained now and then, must have over- taken him and he fell into a ditch with his feet on higher ground and lay there helpless until almost midnight, when he was found by two young men, almost frozen to death. They went for help and managed to get him home, but he ex- pired before they could get his frozen clothes off. All the teachers of Robinson township dismissed school to honor their old friend and fellow-teacher. He lies

TOMB OF THEODORE DINGELDEY.

buried about seven miles from here and I occasionally go there to see that the grave is kept up.
Am sorry I could not answer your questions fully, for Mr. D. never spoke of himself and kept his affairs to himself. Excuse me, please, for writing at length, but he was our friend in word and deed, and, though he had his faults, for which many condemned him, I, who knew him in better days, still honored him for his true worth and not outward seeming.
If I can give any other desired information I am yours to command,
Very respectfully, MRS. C. E. MILLER.
Theodore Dingeldey was looked up to by his colleagues for his worth. He was older than they.
Mr. Dingeldey was raised in the Catholic faith and even studied for the priest- hood, but on arrival at manhood discarded the faith of his fathers, as so many before him.
He was possessed of a character lovable alike with children and adults. Of course, the "incorrigibles" feigned hatred for him whenever taken to task for misde- meanors; doubtless, however, this hatred, in later years, changed to the same high esteem in which our old teacher was held by the other pupils.
While the photographs of Mr. Dingledey do not show any scars, yet such he had, not only on his hands, but on his face also. His knuckles were badly scarred from the duels he engaged in during his student years.
After Mr. Dingeldey left our old school he was engaged as a private teacher. He finally went to the southern part of our State and for a long time he was sta- tioned in Tell City on the Ohio river. Later he went to the neighborhood of New Harmony, in Posey county, where he finally died. I am incorporating excerpts from letters of several of those latterly associated with him to show the affection in which Mr. Dingeldey was held by others.
A story akin to romance is the following: Along about 1867 our good teach- er, Wilhelm Mueller, punished one of the boys in his usual manner by pulling and slightly twisting his ears.
In this instance the boy was of the unruly sort, the kind usually held up by parents to their children, as the horrible example.
At the recess hour this particular boy went out on the street along with other children, the punishment meted out to him by Mr. Mueller uppermost in his mind.
As was his custom, Mr. Mueller stood at the open window looking out on the street from the second floor, when suddenly the boy in question threw a boulder and hit the teacher. The boy disappeared, never to return to the school. He had finished his education so far as Indianapolis and our old school was concerned.
The boy wandered about for a while and finally started out into the wide world. He was a born mechanic, developing into a veritable genius for inventions.
OUR OLD SCHOOL
A BRIEF HISTORY
(141)
He was industrious and, after visiting every part of the globe on behalf of his em- ployers, returned to his native city, Indianapolis, to enjoy the fruits of his labors. He had invented important parts of a very necessary commodity, became the pat- entee, and thereby became the recipient of a handsome income.
The boy in question is now a man of fifty-seven years, as studious a mechanic as ever, notwithstanding his independent income, and so modest, he would resent the publishing of his name; so I will withhold the latter, but I will say that not one of Mr. Mueller's many pupils bears a kindlier feeling for him than the boy who re- sented punishment at his hand so many years ago.
The influence wielded by our school during its prime has steadily grown, being traceable into the children and even children's children of former pupils.
Many of our classmates have become leaders in business, in finance and in manufacture. The children of former pupils are stepping into the shoes of their fathers to continue with even greater success the enterprises created by their sires.
While but few of our former comrades, if any, matriculated in colleges and universities upon their graduation from the German-English Independent school, it is also a fact that there are but few of our children who have not had the advan- tage of a college education.
After attending Shortridge or Manual Training High Schools our sons have entered Wabash or Butler Colleges, Purdue, Indiana, Ann Arbor, Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Cornell or Columbia Universities. Some even attended lectures in German Universities, while our daughters have gone to Vassar, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr and the many other more or less noted girls' schools. Others have gone to Europe to finish their education.
It may not be generally known that the proceeds of the sale of the old school property on Maryland street were finally merged with "Das Deutsche Haus" (the German House) of this city, and thereby afforded the latter a better opportunity to develop into one of the most notable institutions of its kind in the country.
"Das Deutsche Haus," has become a place for social intercourse of the best families of the city, both native and foreign born.
Here are domiciled "Der Musikverein," the largest and most successful organization for the propagation of instrumental and vocal music in the State of Indiana, and, as the irony of fate would have it, also the "Turnverein," which latter was ordered sued by the "Schulverein" for non-payment of its subscription of $50.00, made for the maintenance of our school many years before.
OUR OLD SCHOOL
A BRIEF HISTORY
(142)
During the course of time several efforts have been made to organize a society of former pupils of the old school.
The first and most successful attempt was made on May 6, 1877. The same was, however, not so much for the purpose of reuniting once a year to pass together a few social hours and recall occurrences of school days, as it was to bring aid to the school, which was then very much on the decline.
I am indebted to our comrade, William Kothe, for the constitution and by- laws then adopted, and the original signatures appended thereto, which I will reprint here.
For two or three years this organization was effective in drawing to the an- nual picnics a few of the former pupils, but both the picnics and the pupils' organiza- tion grew less, until the latter was finally forgotten.

A long time elapsed before another attempt was made to bring together the old comrades. During this interval antagonisms had begun to grow, which made enemies of some former comrades, so that when on the occasion of the visit of our old teacher, Wilhelm Mueller, November 23, 1902, it was proposed to "get together," the proposition was frowned upon by several of the more influential, simply because a few had actually declined to subdue their feelings long enough to join hands in re- ceiving the teacher whom most of us had not seen since our school days.
