1 CONCATENATE Barbara Agnes Niedermeier ( Written by Lynn Niedermeier, February, 2000)

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Barbara was born in Toronto, Ontario and grew up in Toronto and

1 CONCATENATE Montreal

1 CONTINUATION as the youngest of three children. Her father was an executive with a

1 CONTINUATION chemical firm, CanadianIndustries Limited ("CIL"), and her mother was a

1 CONCATENATE homemaker.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Barbara attended McGill University in Montreal. She had a natural

1 CONTINUATION singing voice and

1 CONTINUATION while at McGill she performed with a student dance band called the

1 CONTINUATION Westernaires. Newspaper clippings saved by her sister Eleanor showed

1 CONCATENATEthat the

1 CONTINUATION band was very popular among both the university and high school crowds.

1 CONCATENATE They

1 CONTINUATION also did at least one radio broadcast and Barbara once sang with the jazz

1 CONTINUATION pianist Oscar Peterson.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION While at McGill, Barbara took an art class taught by Arthur Lismer, a

1 CONTINUATION member of the

1 CONTINUATION famous group of Canadian painters known as the Group of Seven. She was

1 CONTINUATION working on a portrait of a woman with a veil and was trying tofigure out

1 CONCATENATE how

1 CONTINUATION to paint the veil when Lismer came along, reached out and and ran his

1 CONTINUATION fingernails across the canvas-instant veil!

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Shortly after Barbara obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree from

1 CONCATENATE McGill in

1 CONTINUATION 1949, she took

1 CONTINUATION a tripto California with a girlfriend. By the time she returned she was

1 CONCATENATE not

1 CONTINUATION feeling well and was

1 CONTINUATION subsequently diagnosed with tuberculosis.In those days, there were not

1 CONCATENATE a lot

1 CONTINUATION of drugs available to treat TB but it was believed that exposure to fresh

1 CONCATENATE air

1 CONTINUATIONwould "rest" the lungs and aid recovery. Barbara was accordingly sent to

1 CONCATENATE a

1 CONTINUATION sanatorium in Ste-Agathe, Quebec, in the Laurentian Mountains north of

1 CONTINUATION Montreal, where she spent just over a year. She recalled that they kept

1 CONCATENATE it

1 CONTINUATION very cold there, in accordance with the "fresh air" philosophy. The

1 CONCATENATE parents

1 CONTINUATION of one of her roommates once brought some bottles of Coca-Cola to their

1 CONTINUATION daughter, and Barbara recalled that one morning when they woke up it was

1 CONCATENATE so

1 CONTINUATION cold in their room that the Coke had frozen.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Periodically, the doctors would check on patients' progress by

1 CONCATENATE inserting

1 CONTINUATION a tube down their

1 CONTINUATION throats and taking a sample from their lungs. This was not a comfortable

1 CONTINUATION procedure as it

1 CONTINUATION involved swallowing the tube. Barbara remembered telling them each time

1 CONCATENATE that

1 CONTINUATION she was always going to gag and justto "keep going" because there was

1 CONCATENATE nothing

1 CONTINUATION anyone could do about it.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION As part of their training, medical studentsfrom McGill University

1 CONCATENATE would

1 CONTINUATION be brought up to

1 CONTINUATION the sanatorium. A group came in one day and Barbara recognized one of

1 CONCATENATE them as

1 CONTINUATION a boy she had once dated at McGill. It must have been very embarrassing

1 CONCATENATE for a

1 CONTINUATION young woman at a time when TB was stigmatizedas a disease of poverty and

1 CONCATENATE poor

1 CONTINUATION hygiene, not something that struck the daughters of well-off Montreal

1 CONCATENATE chemical

1 CONTINUATION executives.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION After she recovered, Barbara went to Nassau, Bahamas where her

1 CONCATENATE brother

1 CONTINUATION Edwin was

1 CONTINUATIONworking as the catering manager at the British Colonial Hotel. She got a

1 CONCATENATE job

1 CONTINUATION working in the front office, and remembers receiving the cable announcing

1 CONCATENATE that

1 CONTINUATION King George VI had died. She first met her husband Robert Niedermeier in

1 CONTINUATION Nassau. To appreciate the story of their meeting requires knowing her

1 CONCATENATE father,

1 CONTINUATION Robert E. Dornbush. Barbara's parents came down to Nassau for a visit and

1 CONTINUATION they went to dinner with Barbara in the hotel dining room. Sitting at a

1 CONTINUATION nearby table was Bob Niedermeier and a friend of his. When Barbara's

1 CONCATENATE father

1 CONTINUATION got up to go to the men's room her mother, Agnes Dornbush, struck up a

1 CONTINUATION conversation with Bob and his friend. By the time Barbara's father

1 CONCATENATE returned,

1 CONTINUATION Bob and his friend had joined them at their table. Legend has it that

1 CONTINUATION Barbara's father would later joke that it was "the most expensive crap I

1 CONCATENATE ever

1 CONTINUATIONtook!"

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Barbara and Bob were married in Montreal on November 7, 1953. They

1 CONCATENATE lived

1 CONTINUATION in

1 CONTINUATION Evansville, Indiana, then moved to Kansas City where their twin daughters

1 CONCATENATE were

1 CONTINUATION born in 1956. Bob did a great deal of travelling for his work with

1 CONCATENATE Sporlan

1 CONTINUATION Valve Company. Barbara had her hands full caring for their daughters,

1 CONCATENATE which

1 CONTINUATION she did despite suffering from debilitating migraine headaches that had

1 CONCATENATE begun

1 CONTINUATION when she was a teenager. She learned to sew and would make clothing for

1 CONCATENATE her

1 CONTINUATION daughters as they grew up. She used Bob's Navy jacket to make coats for

1 CONCATENATE them

1 CONTINUATION when they were small.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Barbara and Bob moved to St. Louis when their children were two years

1 CONTINUATION old, then three

1 CONTINUATION years later moved to Don Mills, a suburb of Toronto, Ontario, where Bob

1 CONCATENATE opened

1 CONTINUATION Sporlan

1 CONTINUATION Valve's Canadian subsidiary. Barbara was a homemaker while her children

1 CONCATENATE were

1 CONTINUATION growing up

1 CONTINUATION and did extensive volunteer work for Thompson House, a local senior

1 CONCATENATE citizens'

1 CONTINUATION home. When her children entered university, she took a part-time job at

1 CONCATENATE the

1 CONTINUATION International Order of Foresters, where she spent a number of years and

1 CONCATENATE made

1 CONTINUATION many friends. For awhile she worked full time at Carswell, a legal

1 CONTINUATION publishing house, but ultimately found it too difficult to balance

1 CONCATENATE full-time

1 CONTINUATION work withthe care of both her aging father and an aging family dog!

1 CONCATENATE Carswell

1 CONTINUATION was reluctant to lose her, however, and for a while she agreed to do

1 CONTINUATION copy-editing work which would be sent to her at home. She also found

1 CONCATENATE time to

1 CONTINUATION take courses in psychology and art history. She was fond of reading,

1CONCATENATE crafts

1 CONTINUATION and animals, and her youth spent in Canada helped to give her a great

1 CONTINUATION affection for all things British.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Barbara remembered in a letter addressed to William Niedermeier, dated

1 CONCATENATE May 10,

1 CONTINUATION 1988 that her great grandfather, Henry William Dornbush was born about

1 CONCATENATE 1842 in

1 CONTINUATION Schaumberg, Lippe, Germany. He married a local girl, Anna Sophia

1 CONCATENATE Probst. They

1 CONTINUATION emmigrated to the United States together and settled in Palatine, IL.

1 CONCATENATE She remembered

1 CONTINUATION an aunt who visited the "Dornbush town" in Germany where many of the

1 CONCATENATE stores bore

1 CONTINUATION the Dornbush name. Barbara's daughter, Lynn, provided additional

1 CONCATENATE details in

1 CONTINUATION January, 2000.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION ***********************************************

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Anna Sophie Probst and Henry William Dornbusch were married in 1847,

1 CONTINUATION in Schaumburg-Lippe, Germany. This is recorded in aGerman hymn book

1 CONTINUATION which Henry D. gave to Sophie D. as a wedding gift. The

1 CONCATENATE date 1847 is on

1 CONTINUATION the cover; also her maiden name, Probst. Thename Hahn, was

1 CONTINUATION that of an older half -brother of Sophie Probst, who came to the

1 CONCATENATE

1 CONTINUATION United Statesearlier and settled in St. Louis, Mo. He

1 CONCATENATE urged Sophie to bring

1 CONTINUATION her family to the United States.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Husband, Henry, was reluctant to leave Germany. He was a mason, a

1 CONTINUATION builder. They were prosperous, and had a comfortable home but by 1860

1 CONTINUATION they had 7 children and decided that the children would have a better

1CONTINUATION opportunity for prosperity in America. When they arrived in 1861,

1 CONCATENATE the

1 CONTINUATION Civil War was in progress. They planned to go to St. Louis, but

1CONCATENATE Uncle

1 CONTINUATION Hahn wrote that they had better remain in Illinois, because Henry

1 CONCATENATE might

1 CONTINUATION be drafted into the Army in Missouri. They settled on a farm near

1 CONTINUATION Palatine. Illinois. They did not like the first farm, so for various

1 CONCATENATE reasons

1 CONTINUATION they moved about on farms, sometimesbuying a tavern, or over-night

1 CONTINUATION stopping place for travelers or a boarding house. One time the water

1 CONTINUATION supply was contaminated. All the family became ill withtyphoid

1 CONCATENATE fever,

1 CONTINUATION and daughter Sophie died. This accounts for the fact that many of the

1 CONTINUATION children had different birth places, but always near Palatine,

1 CONCATENATE Illinois.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION My Mother, Carrie (Caroline) was the first child born in the United

1 CONCATENATE States

1 CONTINUATION and her birthplace was Plum Grove, close to Palatine. Daughter Sophie

1 CONTINUATION died at age 16 and Son William died at age 5. All other children

1 CONCATENATE lived to

1CONTINUATION maturity. After William died, another Son was named William.

1 CONCATENATE Daughter

1 CONTINUATION Sophie, Son William and daughter Minnie are buried in the Cemetery at

1 CONTINUATION Palatine with their Mother and Father.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Herman Dornbusch was the only one to change the spelling of his name

1 CONTINUATION by dropping the "C" and making it Dornbush.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION The Dornbush Family History

1 CONTINUATION Page - Two

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Grandmother and Grandfather Dornbuschwere members of the

1 CONTINUATION Evangelical Lutheran Church. Sometimes there was not a Church of that

1 CONTINUATION denomination in the town where they resided. Then they attended a

1 CONTINUATION Protestant church as nearly like that as possible. Aunt Gussie,

1 CONCATENATE (Augusta)

1 CONTINUATION who lived with us in Cleveland for 35 years, was confirmed inan

1 CONTINUATION Evangelical Church in Palatine. She wrote to that church and

1 CONCATENATE received

1 CONTINUATION an answer so by that letter she joined the Evangelical Reformed

1 CONCATENATE Church

1 CONTINUATION in Cleveland, Ohio. She also used that letter to establish a record

1 CONCATENATE of her

1 CONTINUATION birth. instead of a birth certificate.

1 CONTINUATION

1 CONTINUATION Dr. Henry William Dornbusch changed his religious faith to Roman

1 CONTINUATION Catholic when he married Mary Elizabeth Zimmerman, 2-4-1886.
