The Descendants of Johann Adam Dietel of 19th Century Somerset County, Pennsylvania

 

Appendix A

 

Miscellaneous Individuals and Families

 

During the course of researching this book, we have found information regarding a number of miscellaneous individuals and families with names similar or identical to ours. One Dietel family is obviously unrelated, and is included here to document this fact. The other families and individuals share variations of the family name, but we have not been able to determine whether or not they are related to our Somerset County, PA clan. We include them here as a subject for further research, and because we believe the descendants of the Somerset Co. Dietle/Deitle family will be delighted to know that there are many others in the world who use variations of our surname.

 

 

Daniel Schumacher s Baptismal Register442

 

The baptismal register of Daniel Schumacher, an early Lutheran minister in Pennsylvania, shows several families living in Pennsylvania long before ours arrived. On Dec. 4, 1763 Johannes Dittel, father, and Anna Catharina, mother, had their daughter Anna Catharina baptized. Anna Catharina was born the morning of Nov. 13 in Linn Twp. On June 16, 1764, Johannes Dittell, father, and Anna Catharina, mother, had their daughter Anna Christina baptized at Allemangel church (Friedens congregation) at Stony Run Or Wesnersville, Albany Township, Berks County. Anna Christina was born the evening of June 9th, and her baptismal sponsors were Friderich Dittell and Christina Fenstermachern. On Oct. 9th, 1773, Friederich Dittell, father, and Christina, mother, had their daughter Catharina Margaretha baptized. Catharina Margaretha was born on Sept. 26th.

 

 

John Diddle, Revolutionary War Soldier221

 

On Dana s first fact finding trip to Somerset she searched in a Revolutionary War Pension book quite by accident and found a Revolutionary War Veteran named John Diddle listed who received a pension in 1833. He was in the Virginia Contin l, and held the rank of private and Sergeant.

 

An Unrelated Dietel Family From Texas

 

The history of a Dietel family from Texas which is unrelated to ours is documented in a pamphlet entitled German Families in Texas 18. The progenitor of that family was Johann Christian Tietel. He was born in Rodemisch, Germany in 1742, and moved to Hirschfeld, Saxony in 1770, where he died in 1840. His first wife was Johanna Magdalena Sch niger, who died in 1782. His second wife was Johanna Seyfert, who died in 1840. His only son, who was also named Johann Christian Tietel, was born in 1792 at Hirschfeld, and married Christine Caroline Fretag. The third son of Johann and Christine Tietel, who was named Johann Traugott Tietel, was born in Hirschfeld in 1818 and died in 1882 in Cleveland, Ohio. Long before coming to the United States, Johann Traugott Tietel changed the spelling of his last name to Dietel to facilitate pronunciation in German. Johann Traugott Dietel and his wife Christiane Ernestine Schurer had 11 children, all born in Hirschfeld, as follows18:

 

Christiane Antonie Dietel, born Sept. 1842, married Christian D rfel

Ernst Anton Dietel, born July 1844, married Thekla B umgartel,

Ernestine Pauline Dietel, born June 1846, married Hermann Helbig.

Christine Wilhelmine Dietel, born November 1848, married Rudolph Martin,

Maria Bertha Dietel, born May 1850, married Anton D rfel,

Minna Hulda Dietel, born Sept. 1852, married Ernst Bretschneider,

Ernst Albin Dietel, born July 1855, married Anna Krauss,

Ernst Hermann Dietel, born Nov. 1857, married Katherine Mina Pape,

Lina Bertha Dietel, born October 1860, married Franz Hergett,

Ernst Bernhard Dietel, born May 1863, married Eleanor _____, and

Anna Hulda Dietel, born Dec. 1865, married Fritz Beutel.

 

Ernest Hermann Dietel, son of Johann Traugott Dietel, also emigrated to Texas, and his descendants now live in the United States. We do not know if any of the other children of Johann Traugott Dietel also came to the United States. The obvious conclusion from the birth date of Johann Traugott Dietle and the date given for his name change from Tietel to Dietel is that none of the descendants of Johann Christian Tietel could possibly be ancestors of the Dietle/Deitle family of Somerset county. The Dietel descendants* of Ernest Hermann Dietel are as follows, using the numbering scheme found in German Families From Texas 18:

Ralf Dietl, Wachtberg, Germany469

 

Ralf Dietl is (1996) living in Wachtberg-Niederbachem, which is near Bonn, Germany483. He lives with Monika Clever483. One of their hobbies is riding motorcycle, and they have taken trips in the US and Germany483. Ralf s motorcycle is (1996) a Honda Gold Wing483. He has been teaching in a comprehensive school in Bonn since 1995483. He has dark hair and a full beard483.

 

When I wrote in early 1996 to Ralf Dietl of Wachtberg, Germany requesting information for this Appendix, he kindly replied with the following E-mail note:

 

Hi,

good to konw someone's caring for our names. There's not very much of information I'm able to add: all I know is the information my father gave me. His father was from Bavaria and and had the name Kaufmann (dealer). When he opened a shop of his own, he didn t want to keep his name, because the bavarians usually mention the profession with the name, what would have been Kaufmann Kaufmann (dealer dealer). So he got his name changed to the popular name (in bavaria) Dietl (root: Dieterle = little Dieter) and he was called Kaufmann Dietl (dealer Dietl). I don't know, if the story is true. Anyway, it wasn't unusual to change his name, so maybe that's about it.

Many greeting from Germany

(which is cold, snowy now)

Ralf.

 

 

 

A Dietle Family From Austria191

 

In April, 1994 I obtained records of the names and addresses of all U.S. telephone listings under the name Deitle . This list contained 20 different names, 19 of which appeared to be recognized members of our Somerset County Deitle/Dietle family. The 20th name was that of Frank Deitle of Mishawaka, IN. I called and talked to his widow Mary, and was able to ascertain that their Deitle family is not connected to ours by any relationship occurring on this side of the Atlantic ocean.

 

This family pronounces their name Die-tull with the ei in the first syllable pronounced eye . Mary said that in German, the ei and ie sounds are backwards, meaning ei is pronounced eye and ie is pronounced the same as the e in he.

 

The original immigrant ancestor of this family was Frank s grandfather, who came from Christiandom, Austria. Family tradition has it that his wife was disowned by her family for marrying him, which helped them decide to come to America. He first went to Napiersville, __, but ended up in Benton Harbor, Michigan. In or near Benton Harbor he cleared the land for his farm. One of the trees felled during the clearing of the land was used to make a walnut table or tables that are in the possession of Frank s widow Mary Deitle with whom I spoke.

 

Frank, his father, and his Grandfather the original immigrant all had the same first name. All three of these Frank Deitle s are buried in a Catholic Cemetery in Benton Harbor, Michigan.

 

Frank s widow Mary says that they have been to Germany, and (with the help of someone who spoke German) tried to call a Deitle that they found a telephone listing for. The Deitle they called was on the other side of the Iron Curtain, and was unwilling to talk to them perhaps out of fear of the government there. Mary reports that her daughter now has an interest in genealogy, and that they have some of the papers of the original immigrant.

 

The Social Security records show that Frank Deitle was born on Nov. 1, 1903 and died in January, 1978, and that his last place of residence was Mishawaka, Indiana 46544433. His Social Security card was issued in Michigan433.

 

 

A Dietle Family from California223

 

Contact has been made with a Dietle family from California. What we know of this family has been gained from a questionnaire which was returned by James Dietle of Paradise, California in 1994. It is not clear on the questionnaire if some of the women s names are maiden names, middle names, or married names.

 

James believes, but isn t sure, that his father s father was named Charles. His father s mother was named Bessie. James father was Arthur Thomas (presumably Dietle), an Optometrist, who was born on April 11, 1903, and his mother was Mary Rita, daughter of Angelena Paventi. Mary Rita was born Feb. 2, 1905. James Dietle was born Aug. 19, 1928 in Oroville, California, and he has a sister Sarah Ann who was born April 16, 1923. James is married to Alma Dean, who was born March 30, 1931. James has two children, as follows:

 

Keith Eugene, born Aug. 31, 1951 in Oroville, California, and

Thomas Edward, born Jan. 3, 1954 in Paradise, California.

 

 

 

 

A Dietle Family from Connecticut182

 

Contact has been made with a Dietle family from Connecticut. What we know of this family has been gained from a questionnaire which was sent to Donald Dietle of Wallingford, Connecticut.

 

The oldest members of this family which we know of are Goethrth and Regina Dietle, who had the following children:

 

Joseph Francis Dietle Sr., b. April 8, 1900

Carl Dietle

Helen

 

Joseph Francis Dietle Sr.*, son of Goethrth and Regina Dietle, married Arlene Paecht. Arline, the daughter of Otto F. and Ottlie Paecht, was born on Dec. 6, 1909. They had the following children:

 

Joseph Francis Dietle, Jr., b. May 27, 1927

Donald Dietle, Sr., b. Oct. 4, 1930 in New Haven, CT

 

Joseph Francis Dietle, Jr., son of Joseph Francis Dietle and Arlene (Paecht) Dietle, married Joan McNally. He lived for a time in California. He now lives in Peach Tree City, Georgia. Joseph has the following children:

 

James Joseph Dietle who is recently married in California (reported in 1994),

Janace Ann, who is (1994) married and living in California, and

a daughter in Georgia who is married.

 

Donald Dietle, Sr., son of Joseph Francis Dietle and Arlene (Paecht) Dietle, married Jerrine Hall, who was born Oct. 7, 1931. Donald has the following children:

 

John Joseph Dietle, b. August 30, 1959,

Donald Don James Dietle, Jr., and

Dona Jerrine Dietle, b. Feb. 24, 1973

 

John Joseph Dietle, son of Donald Dietle, Sr., lives in Middletown, Ct. He married Elizabeth Scala and had the following two children:

 

Matthew John

Aimee

 

Donald Don James Dietle, Jr., son of Donald Dietle, Sr., married Susan Cricco and lives in Wallingford, CT.

 

Dona Jerrine Dietle is not yet married in 1994. She lives in Wallingford, CT.

 

Carl Dietle, son of Goethrth and Regina Dietle, married Mae Lynch. He lived in New Haven, CT, but is now (1994) deceased. Carl had the following children:

 

Margaret, and

Regina

 

Regina Cravin is (1994) living in RI. We speculate that Cravin is her married name.

 

Helen McLaughlan, daughter of Goethrth and Regina Dietle, is (1994) no longer living. She had 2 children. We speculate that McLaughlan was her married name.

 

 

 

A Dietel/Dietle Family from Illinois

 

Contact has been made with a Dietle family that has been traced to Illinois. What we know of this family has been gained from material graciously supplied by Donald Dietle of Jefferson City, Missouri.

Cathern Dietel377

 

In 1993 I did a computer search of PA telephone listings using various potential spellings of the surname, and found a Cathern Deitel in Harrisburg. I sent her a letter of inquiry and she replied as follows:

 

Dear Lannie-

The correct spelling of the name I had was Dietel. That is the name of my ex-husband. I don t have his current address, but, his name is Robert Dietel. I think he may still be in the Harrisburg area. Good Luck!

John Dietle,

Civil War Casualty

 

A Civil War Soldier named John Dietle appears on the Muster Roll of Company E., 105th Regiment of Pennsylvania Infantry as a Private138,139,142. He enlisted for 3 years of service on Sept. 1, 1861138. He was originally mustered into Captain Dick s Co. on Sept. 4, 1861 at Pittsburg (sic)138. This organization subsequently became Company E, 105th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers138. John Dietle was 18 years of age at the time of his enlistment, and was 5 ft. 7 1/2 inches tall with brown eyes and a dark complexion138.

 

Our main source of information regarding John Dietle is his Civil War military records, which are available at the National Archives138. In these papers his surname is alternately spelled Dietle and Deitle138. These papers indicate that he was killed in action at the battle of Fair Oaks on May 31, 1862, and make no mention of his next of kin, or where he was from138.

 

According to a list included in the book History of Bedford and Somerset Counties Pennsylvania, John Dietle is not included among the Somerset County Civil War casualties which are listed on the Somerset County Soldier s Monument. In the 1850 census of Somerset Co. the only Dietle family we have found has been that of our first Adam, in which only two sons are enumerated, John Adam and Nicholas94. In the 1860 census of Somerset Co. the only Dietle families that we have found are one of the first Adam104, and one of his son John Adam105. It therefore appears that John Dietle, the Civil War soldier, was not a third son of the first Adam, and was not staying with the first Adam or his son John Adam in 1860. If he was staying as a boarder with another family, he would be very difficult to find in the census records, which are indexed by heads of the households. It also does not appear that John Dietle, the Civil War soldier, is our ancestor John Adam, given the discrepancy in age, and the fact that John Adam did not die in the Civil War.

 

Dana has unsuccessfully searched the 1860 census of Westmoreland Co., and various books on Westmoreland Co. (including a cemetery index) for individuals having a name similar to Dietle143. Six Tittle families were found in the 1860 census; one with a family member aged 34, who is far too old to be the John Dietle of Co. E. We have found no evidence that John Dietle of Co. E was living in Westmoreland Co. prior to his enlistment.

 

A muster-roll and brief history of Company E of the 105th Regiment is given in the book History of the One Hundred and Fifth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers142. This book also indicates that John Deitle enlisted on Sept. 4, 1861, and was killed at Fair Oaks, Va. May 31, 1862142. This book gives an account of the origins of Company E as follows142:

 

Company E was enlisted at Camp Markle, which was situated on the farm of General Markle, about three miles from West Newton, Westmoreland county, Pa. Some tents had been procured by Captain M.M. Dick, and the company remained there until their ranks were full, their enlistment dating from August 25, 1861. They were partially uniformed while at Camp Markle. On the 3d day of September they marched to West Newton, where a large crowd had assembled to witness their departure, and, before leaving, the company was presented with a beautiful flag, and each member with a beautiful needle-case and handsomely bound Bible by the ladies of West Newton. They left West Newton that evening, and arrived in Pittsburgh, where they went into Camp Wilkins, and were mustered into the United States service, September 4th, by Captain H. B. hays, Sixth United States Cavalry. The company numbering one hundred and six men, five had to be sent home, as the complement for a company was one hundred and one. This caused some dissatisfaction, as all were anxious to go. The company left Camp Wilkins September 9th, and arrived in Washington on the 11th, where they joined Colonel Leasures Roundhead Regiment, which then lay at Kalorama Heights. Here they drew Harper s Ferry muskets and clothing.

 

Some difficulty arising between Colonel Leasure and Captain Dick, the latter withdrew his company from Colonel Leasure s regiment, September 20, 1862 (sic-evidently a typographical error and supposed to be 1861), and joined Colonel McKnight s, which was also encamped at Kalorama.....

 

During the entire term of service there were on the rolls of the company one hundred and ninety-three men; of these forty nine were drafted men and substitutes. They lost twenty-six men killed and died.

 

This company not being originally raised for the One Hundred and Fifth Regiment, and coming from a locality remote from the other companies, all of which were originally intended for this regiment, it necessarily has a history of its own before it entered the One Hundred and Fifth.

 

A roster and brief history of the 105th Regiment is given in the book History of Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-5139. This book indicates that Company E was recruited in Westmorland County (which is adjacent to Somerset County) and lists among it s members John Deitle, killed at Fair Oaks, Va. May 31, 1862139. This book gives an account of the Battle of Fair Oaks as follows139:

 

Having moved up and crossed the Chickahominy, it was posted with the corps of Heintzelman and Casey covering the roads leading toward Richmond and the White Oak Swamp, where, on the 31st of May, the enemy attacked. Kearney s Division being on the extreme left, was not ordered into action until the battle had been raging for some time on the right, in front of Fair Oaks, where Couch and Casey stood. I had disposed of all of my command, says General Jameson, at different points, with the exception of three hundred and forty eight men of the One Hundred and Fifth Pennsylvania, under Colonel McKnight. All our men had fled from the abattis in the vicinity of the Richmond Road. Our only alternative was to make the best stand possible with the handful of men under Colonel M Knight. We led them across the open field and up the Richmond Road into the abattis, at a double quick, and under a most terrible fire, deploying one-half on either side of the road. For more than an hour and a half this small force held every inch of ground. At last the enemy broke and ran, and M Knight pursued them through Casey s old camp. During the time that M Knight was engaged on the Richmond Road, our line had been gradually giving way about a quarter of a mile to his right. Just as M Knight succeeded in routing the force in his front, our line gave way entirely at the point above indicated, and the rebel force came pouring into the Richmond Road directly in his rear, and while the gallant M Knight was pursuing the South Carolina chivalry towards Richmond, the rebel forces directly in his rear were pursuing a portion of our forces towards the Chickahominy. I then received orders to withdraw my men if possible. With great difficulty they succeeded in filing off to the left in the woods towards White Oak Swamp, retreating along the edge of the swamp back to our second line of defenses. When the regiment went into action company G was on guard at the bridge in the rear, and companies C and I were away on fatigue duty. On being relieved these companies hastened forward, but unable to join the rest of the command were ordered by General Heintzelman to form on the right of the Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania, and with that regiment did excellent service. The regiment lost forty-one killed, one hundred and fifty wounded, and seventeen missing...... Headley, in mentioning this regiment in the battle, says, Napoleon s veterans never stood firmer under a devastating fire.

 

 

Another Dietle Civil War Soldier ?

 

Richard Deitle, son of Walter and Thelma Irene (Cox) Deitle, wrote the following to us in 1993 regarding a family Civil War tradition This info goes back to the Civil War. I am not sure, but I think, this person was my great-great-great grandfather. He was killed at Gettysburg & the name appears on the memorial. We found it perhaps 25 years ago. The spelling at that time was Dieddle, I think. In a telephone interview, Richard said it might have been spelled Diettle, and he thought it was on the main monument of the tour which had an eternal flame. Julia Prokop has also seen the name on a Gettysburg Monument. We have conclusive evidence to show that Richard s Great-Grandfather Nicholas Dieddle served in the Civil War and lived until 1918, but we don t have any evidence that Nicholas Dieddle, or any other Dietle family member, fought at Gettysburg. Still, it is an interesting possibility that some other Dieddle did serve in the Civil War and fight at Gettysburg. I called the Gettysburg park service in Nov. 1993, and they searched the park records and said that the name Dieddle was not included on any monument in the Gettysburg park. It seems logical that the individual who is or was listed on the Gettysburg Memorial is not John Dietle, as he was killed at the Battle of Fair Oaks, long before the battle of Gettysburg. Still, it is known that the names included on Gettysburg memorials were sometimes made from obsolete rosters which contained the names of soldiers which could not possibly have participated in the battle. The 105 Regiment, Penna Infantry to which John Dietle belonged did participate in the battle of Gettysburg, so perhaps the name of John Dietle is or was included on a monument there by mistake. Our parents visited the Pennsylvania Monument at Gettysburg in April 1994 and looked on the monument and on the alphabetical list of the Park Service and could not find any Dietle or similar name. They did, however, see where some names had been removed from the monument. Perhaps the Dietle name was included 25 years ago by mistake, but was removed. I have heard that some correction of the names on the monuments has taken place over the years.

 

 

Francis Ray J.R. Dietl406

 

Francis Ray J. R. Dietl of Tulsa, Oklahoma is the son of Francis Adolph Dietl and Dorothy Rae Frosch. His father, a Pharmacist, was born in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and his mother was born in Grimms, Wisconsin. He was born on January 26, 1995 in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and grew up there as well. He generally goes by J.R. instead of his given name Francis which he shares with his father. Both he and his parents did not like him being called Junior, so he took the initials J.R. and they have stuck ever since, starting way before the character J.R. Ewing of the Dallas television show made the initials famous.

 

When J.R. was only 14 his father died at age 61. His father had suffered massive bleeding from a ulcer lodged in his upper airway shortly before death. He survived surgery to remove the ulcer, and the bleeding stopped. After a week of recovery, however, he suffered a cardiac arrest. The nursing staff did not know CPR, and so he died before the physician arrived. Shortly after that, J.R. s mother had a double stroke and also died. After becoming orphaned, he lived at his best friend s house with his parents for one year, and then was allowed to live at home by himself with a conservatorship for bookkeeping.

 

J.R. has no known living relatives, and originally contacted me via E-mail to inquire about the Dietl family name. He had not heard of any other Dietl s except an individual named Bo Dietl whom he saw on television (CNN) relative to the O. J. Simpson murder trial, and he desires additional information on his particular family s history. If anyone has information on his parents families, please let me know and I will pass it on to him.

 

J.R. attended Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa and majored in Physical Education with a minor in Biology. He also completed courses at the University of Iowa in Paramedicine, and received a certificate as an Advanced EMT (Paramedic level); the first in the state. He is now (1995) a paramedic in Oklahoma, and works for Alliance Medical out of Russellville, Missouri. He sells and provides training on EMT/Paramedic equipment in Oklahoma and Texas. He teaches Basic Level Ambulance Care (EMT and Advanced level (Paramedic) in both Oklahoma and Texas, and also does guest lectures in both states. He has also designed several new products which are presently being marketed.

 

J.R. s hobbies are tennis, fishing, and model airplanes. His father s hobbies were fishing and carpentry, and his mother s hobbies were Church social events and fund raising. J.R. was associated with the Lutheran church before marriage, and has been associated with the Methodist denomination afterwards. He is married to Julie Ann (Gram) Dietl, and has an adopted son named Matthew Robert Dietl, who was born February 16, 1991 and adopted February 26, 1991.

Colonel General Eduard Dietl

 

Eduard Dietl, a Bavarian, was born on July 21, 1890 in Aibling. On Oct. 1, 1909407. He joined the Imperial German Army as an Ensign, and in 1911 he became part of the 5th Bavarian Infantry III407. He remained on in the Reichsheer after WW-I, and was eventually promoted to Major General407. He received command of 3rd Gebirgs xx (which was made up of Austrian units) on May 1, 1938, and led it during the German invasion of Poland as part of the 17th Armee Korps407. He later captured the port of Narvik in northern Norway, but was forced to yield it to superior Allied forces after loosing his Naval re-supply line407. He had 2,600 Sailors (from destroyers which had been sunk) and 2,000 mountian troops, and was driven out after a siege lasting seven weeks479. Support from Germany was difficult, because the only land route to Narvik was through Sweden, and Narvik was beyond easy range of German air power479. Despite their isolation, his 3rd Gebirgs xx kept on fighting and eventually retook Narvik407. As I understand it, Dietl faced 24,500 Allied troops at about this time, but Allied forces were crumbling in France, and so they decided to withdraw from Norway479.

 

On June 14, 1940 Dietl was given command of Gebirgs Korps Norway, which he led into Finland in 1941 as part of the invasion of Russia, and subsequently took part in fighting near Murmansk407.

He died in 1944 when his airplane crashed during a trip to Austria407. One of his military decorations was the seldom awarded Knight s Cross to the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords407.

Families found in the LDS IGI428

 

The LDS International Genealogical Indextm contains a computer listing of approximately 500 European Dietle family members, evidently taken from church records, which date from the 1600's.

Those interested are encouraged to review the LDS records themselves.

 

 

 

Passenger & Emigration Lists

 

Many Germans bearing surnames similar to ours have traveled to America. The names of a few shown below have been identified from indexes to surviving German Emigration lists, and from indexes to ship passenger lists. Many individuals who appeared on such passenger lists were probably immigrants. The names of these individuals are included below as a subject for future research, although their relationship to our Somerset Co. Dietle family, if any, has not been established. For those who are interested, many additional Dietle immigrants are listed in the book Germans to America, which is available at Clayton Library, Houston, TX. German emigrants used two primary points of departure from Germany; Bremen and Hamburg. The Wanderbuch of Johann Adam Dietel indicates that he emigrated from Bremen. Most of the Bremen emigration lists were destroyed in World War II. The Hamburg lists are intact, but didn t start until 1850. We have not found definitive passenger or emigration records for our immigrant ancestor or for his family members.
