Jaroslav J. Rokos was born in Caslav, Bohemia, and came to the United States when twenty-six years of age. He was a baker by trade, and for ten years after coming to this country, conducted a bakery in New York City. About 1899 (or 1897) , he located in Baltimore, Maryland, and here again established a bakery, making a specialty of rye bread. Through his busi- ness acumen he built up a lucrative business, and his bakery became one of the best known in the city. His first stores on Barnes street proved inadequate and were enlarged, but in turn they too were outgrown, and at the time of his death, in 1913, he was perfecting plans for the construction of one of the largest bakeries in the city. He prospered abundantly, but not for himself alone, for he was most charitable, and gave thousands upon thousands of loaves to the poor, and was their staunch friend in winter and summer, through evil and good repute. He subscribed liberally to all propositions for the betterment of the people, and labored in season and out of season for those causes which promised better things.
While strong in his belief in the principles of the Demo- cratic party, he was independent, and above political trickery, always in touch and sympathy with the progressive spirit, active in the political and industrial welfare of his city. He
739
GENEALOGICAL AND MEMORIAL
had open to him the whole field of opportunity given by Democratic institutions, and, in 1909, he entered the political arena as an anti-organization candidate in the primaries for a seat in the City Council. He was defeated that year, but in 1911 again was a candidate, but the Democratic organization was strong in its support of another candidate, and Mr. Rokos was defeated. He was to have made a third attempt, which would undoubtedly have been successful, as he had won to his cause in the two previous campaigns legions of followers. He was one of the committee of party advisers to the Democratic State Central Committee, and a delegate to the Maryland State Democratic Convention of 1912, which declared in favor of the nomination of Woodrow Wilson for the presidency. He was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles; the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; the Improved Order of Heptasophs; Sekol Jednota Blesk, and other Bohe mian societies. Mr. Rokos married Katherine Sesula, who survives him with six children: Ella Ree, Katherine, Ernes- tine, Amelia, Birdie P. and William J. Rokos.
In every field of endeavor he entered, Mr. Rokos was active, and knew what it was to work out for himself the problems which, when solved, brought him success. His heart, mind, service, and his ambitions were always in the service of the people he so much loved and trusted, and their love in turn for him was strikingly attested when, at the time of his death, on every street corner in Northeast Baltimore, groups gathered and discussed the sad event. He died Au- gust 2, 1913, and is buried in the Bohemian National Ceme tery, his funeral the largest ever held in Northeast Baltimore.
AUGUST CARL WEBER
W HEN a child of three years, Mr. Weber was brought to
the United States by his parents from their native Ger- many, and with the exception of an interval of but a few years, his after life was spent in Baltimore. He loved the city of his adoption and was always actively interested in its development. The branch of the Weber family in Germany to which he belonged was distinguished for its service in the cause of religion and the church, and in recognition of that distin- guished service, any theological seminary of the Lutheran Church in Germany was open to any male member of the family, free of charge.
August Carl Weber was born at Lassphe, Westphalia, Germany, October 5, 1862, died in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, July 30, 1915, son of Carl Christian and Christina (Loos) Weber. He was brought to this country by his parents in 1865, the family locating in Baltimore, where Carl Christian Weber (father) became a prominent business man. In 1867 young August C. Weber was taken back to Germany and there remained until twelve years of age, then was returned to his parents in Baltimore, which was ever afterwards his home. He attended school in Germany, and after his return to Baltimore, completed the full course of the schools of the city. Later he pursued a four years' course at Baltimore City College, whence he was graduated, class of 1883.
After graduation he began business life as clerk with Kahn & Schloss, merchant tailors, remaining in that employ for several years. His next position was with the Torsch Packing Company, then began his long connection with the George Gunther Brewing Company. He was engaged until 1900 as their bookkeeper, but when the company was reor- ganized as a corporation in that year, he became a stockholder,
711
GENEALOGICAL AND MEMORIAL
and secretary, of the George Gunther, Jr., Brewing Com pany, filling that office until his death. He was also secretary of the Germania Building and Loan Association for sixteen years, and of the Lloyd Permanent Building and Savings Asso- ciation for twenty-one years, having been one of the organizers and charter members of the latter association.
Mr. Weber was a member of Monumental Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons; past high priest of Phoenix Chapter, No. 7, Royal Arch Masons; member of Baltimore Com- mandery, No. 2, Knights Templar, and a past eminent com- mander of the last named body. He was an active member of Zion Lutheran Church and ever one of its generous sup- porters. He was a careful, systematic business man, his books and accounts models of neatness and accuracy. He was highly regarded as a man of strictest integrity and possessed the per- fect confidence of his associates in business. In private life he was genial, friendly and companionable, possessing many warm friends, and in fraternity and church was both active and useful. He was bountiful in his charity, but gave quietly, none ever being turned away were they in need of assistance. The directors of the Lloyd Permanent Building and Savings Association, of which he was a founder, adopted the following resolutions at a meeting held after his death :
WHEREAS it has pleased the Great and Only Giver of Life to remove from our midst our friend and secretary, August C. Weber, and
WHEREAS by his demise we have lost a true and valued friend and the Association an earnest and conscientious worker ;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That we bow to the Will of God who shapes all destinies.
RESOLVED, That by his death we mourn one, who by his integrity. his straightforwardness, his firmness of character and sense of duty, commanded the respect of all.
RESOLVED, That we extend the family of the deceased our most heartfelt sympathy in this, the hour of their bereavement.
742
GENEALOGICAL AND MEMORIAL
RESOLVED, That a copy of the resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Association.
Mr. Weber married Miss Lena Kohlhepp, of Baltimore, who survives her husband with one daughter, Ruth. The family residence is No. 2612 East Baltimore street.
BENJAMIN C. NICOLL
AT the age of seventy-three years, Benjamin C. Nicoll passed to the reward which awaits the just man, and a life of great usefulness closed. He was born in 1842, and died March 2, 1915, being yet the able and capable president of Charles F. Eareckson & Company, one of Baltimore's lead- ing commercial houses. He had been a resident of Baltimore all his life, and was a descendant of an ancient English family. During the War between the States he enlisted and served in the United States Navy, and was a part of the attacking force at Fort Fisher. He was a member of the Veteran Naval Corps and the Royal Arcanum. He is survived by three brothers, one of them, Rev. William Nicoll, now living at York Road and Hutchins avenue, Baltimore.
