Notes on Sebastian and Elisabeth Hirschboeck:
.............Sebastian Hirschboeck is the immigrant ancestor, along with his wife Elisabeth Maier. His occupation for many years was a shoemaker; he established his own business in Washington County upon arrival in the U.S. in 1853. He is perhaps most noted for the clock that he built in 1857 at the age of 50 years old, which stands today at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in West Bend (formerly Barton), Wisconsin. According to Herbert Hirschboeck, when the tower clock of St. John's Cathedral in Milwaukee arrived from Europe broken, it could not be put in operation until Sebastian rebuilt the damaged parts.
.............According to A History of the Village of Barton by Dr. Richard H. Driessel, "Sebastian Hirschboeck was one of the earliest German craftsmen to come to the village. He and his sons were notable in commercial development and in Church affairs for several generations. He came to Milwaukee from Bavaria in 1853 and to Barton in 1855. He continued to be active in trade while holding several church offices and was a frequent delegate to Democratic political conventions."
.............Sebastian Hirschboeck's original shoe/boot shop was located at 316 Commerce Street, Barton, Wisconsin. Later the building became the post office in Barton. The building still stands today. The Hirschboeck residence was at 320 Commerce Street. It was built in 1892. Sebastian was buried Oct. 1, 1868 at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Barton, Wisconsin.

Notes on George and Ottilia Hirschboeck:
.............Little is known about George or Ottilia. George left Washington County and settled in Milwaukee, perhaps with his younger brother John. George was a shoemaker, like his father. The 1870 Milwaukee City Directory lists Geo. Hirschboeck as residing at 545 7th Street in Milwaukee with his occupation as a shoemaker. The Wisconsin State Census, 1875, lists George living with 3 other males and 4 females in his household.
.............The 1880 Census lists him as a watchmaker. That 1880 listing for the family includes: George, 48, listed as ill; Ottilie, 46, keeping house; Barbara, 21, works in tailor shop; Damian, 18, works in foundry; Mary, 17, works in tailor shop; Elisabeth, 9, in school; George, 8, in school; and John, 6.
.............The 1910 Census for Milwaukee, ward 3, lists Ottilia Hirschboeck, age 75, and her daughter, Barbara, 50. Ottilia's primary language is listed as German. The last address of the family was 545 7th Street, Milwaukee. He is buried at Calvary Cemetery, block 5, row 218 with his wife and his children John, Dominic, Barbara, and Elizabeth. Ottilia died of heart disease.

Notes on Robert Reinders:
.............Reinders graduated cum laude from the University of Notre Dame, BA 1947 and MA 1949. From 1949-1956, he taught at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas, and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Texas, Austin, in 1957. He and his wife moved to New Orleans, where Robert taught at Xavier University (1956-57) and Tulane University (1957-1965). He was active in the civil rights and peace movements serving as faculty advisor for the Tulane Liberal Club and on the boards of the New Orleans Council for Peaceful Alternatives, the Free Southern Theatre and the Louisiana Civil Liberties Union. He was the New Orleans correspondent for the Texas Observer and the Buffalo (NY) Empire Star.
.............In 1965, Reinders was awarded a Senior Fulbright Scholarship and taught adult education courses at the University of Sheffield in England. The following year, he began the first of 24 years in the Department of History and American Studies at the University of Nottingham. He also taught on a teacher's exchange at Sacramento State University and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, as well as summer schools at SUNY-Buffalo and Carroll College. He chaired the Nottingham and District Community Relations Council and helped organize the second chapter of the Caribbean Artists Movement. For more than a decade, Reinders and his good friend Fred Bazler performed multimedia shows dealing with aspects of American history throughout England and, under the sponsorship of the United States Information Service, in West Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Ireland. Reinders published a book, End of an Era: New Orleans, 1850-1860, and contributed articles to scholarly journals, including several on former Milwaukee Mayor Daniel W. Hoan. For several years, Reinders served on the board of the British Association for American Studies and edited the BAAS newsletter.
.............Upon retirement in 1990, Reinders took up residence in Milwaukee. With his cousin, Beatrice Reinders, he took an active interest in the Bay View Historical Society, serving on the board and as chairman of the Program Committee. He also was active in the Wisconsin Labor History Society.

Notes on George J. Hirschboeck:
.............The Milwaukee Sentinel, April 1, 1961 profiles him in an article called "Fr. Hirschboeck Serves Skilled Workers in Japan." The article states, "Rev. George Hirschboeck bettered the working conditions of Japanese silk artisans in Kyoto. The Maryknoll Father, graduate of St. Anne's School and St. John Cathedral High School, brought Christianity to the workers by showing them it's a beautiful way to live.
.............Father Hirschboeck moved into the heart of the weaving community by first learning about the problems of the famed Nishijin silk weavers of Kyoto. He watched the silk weavers at work. The finest in the world, they even file their fingernails so they can produce the most intricate patterns. He saw their skill paid them little for many hours of work. So father Hirschboeck organized a cooperative.
.............Then he turned to the building of a church. With the help of a young Swiss priest-architect, the Rev. Karl Fruehler, Father Hirschboeck erected the Church of the Holy Spirit -- a building of contemporary architechture incorporating many of the beautiful designs and feathers of both East and West. Overnight his church became a tourist attraction noted because of its beauty and originality."

Notes on Daniel and Barbara Hirschboeck:
.............While listed as "Damian" in most public records, Mr. Hirschboeck was called "Daniel" by close friends. He resided in Barton, Wisconsin for most of his life. In 1870, the value of his real estate was $1,000 and the value of his personal assets was $500, according to the collected census data. His occupation was a boot and shoe maker.
.............Mr. Hirschboeck was a notable, respected member of the community. The Catholic faith and the Church were integral to each of the Hirschboeck pioneers. Damian Hirschboeck was one of the three original trustees of the St. Mary's Church, which was established in September, 1857. Active in the community, Damian Hirschboeck was a member of the Barton School Board. The Board came into existence in 1854, and, sometime from 1856 to 1867, Hirschboeck served as an elected member.
.............Fraternal, benevolent, and social societies associated with the Catholic Church were important in the community, too. The St. Joseph Society for men was one of the most active, starting in the early years. In December, 1885, the society elected Damian Hirschboeck to the position of Treasurer. Hirschboeck was also an accomplished fisherman. In one season, it's reported that he caught 100 pickerel (1875). In 1879, he served on the County Fair Committee.
.............According to 1881 History of Washington and Ozaukee Counties, "Damian Hirschboeck, manufacturer of and dealer in boots and shoes, Barton; business established April, 1855. The subject of this sketch is a native of Bavaria, Germany, and is the son of Sebastian and Elizabeth (Myer) Hirschboeck; was born Sept 27, 1831; learned his trade in his native country, and came to America in 1853, making his home in Milwaukee; he worked at his trade with Bradley & Metcalf 'til April 1, 1855; he then moved to the village of Barton and started in his present business. Mr. Hirschboeck was married at Milwaukee July 4, 1853, to Miss Barbara Braun, daughter of Bartholomew and Francisca (Ohlinger) Braun; Mrs. H. was born in Bavaria, Germany; they have had thirteen children, of whom eleven are living; the two first were twins and died in infancy; those living are Joseph, who is agent of the American Express Co. at Barton; was appointed Sept. 12, 1877; Barbara, George, Sebastian, John, Elizabeth, Peter and Paul (twins), Frank A., Stephen, and Zaezelia F. Mr. Hirschboeck has served his school district in the capacity of Treasurer six years."
.............This sketch only scratches the surface of the accomplishments and community involvement of Damian and his descendants. Damian Hirschboeck is buried with his wife Barbara, his son and daughter-in-law George and Catherine, his daughter and son-in-law Barbara and Gerhard J. Woltering/Woltring, and his grandson and grandaughter John G. and Helen Hirschboeck. They are buried at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Barton, Wisconsin at row 6-7.

Notes on Joseph and Ellen Hirschboeck:
.............Ellen was also called Eleanora. Her surname is listed as Dowling or Dolan. Joseph Hirschboeck, son of Damian, clearly exhibited the leadership characteristics of his father. He was also a boot and shoe maker and merchant. In 1876 he considered buying the local tannery and starting a leather store, but entered other enterprises. In 1885, Joseph Hirschboeck bought the general store where Otten's store is presently located, from Peter Fraser. The store sold dry goods, groceries, boots, shoes, flour, feed, and lumber. Hirschboeck sold that store shortly after his purchase of it, though. Joseph was also the railroad station agent in Barton the early 1880s (among the first in the town's short history), but was replaced by J.R. Nigh in 1885 when Hirschboeck bought Peter Fraser's general store. Additionally, Joseph Hirschboeck served as Town Constable. It is unclear whether or not Joseph moved to New York, or whether Helen moved to New York with her children after Joseph's death. The baseball umpires in the Hirschboeck family stem from this branch (John F. --> John J. --> John/Mark).

Notes on George and Katherine Hirschboeck:
.............George Hirschboeck, son of Damian, was prominent in the Barton community. His occupation was a shoemaker. He had his home and shop on present-day Commerce Street. He not only served as Deputy Sheriff (1879), handling approximately three cases a week, but he also was a foreman for the Barton Volunteer Fire Department. The Department was established in 1900 and George was involved from 1905-1911. He was postmaster of the Barton Post Office in 1885 and 1893. In July, 1919, when the Barton State Bank was formed, G. Hirschboeck was on the Board of Directors of the first bank in Barton. This information comes from A History of the Village of Barton by Dr. Richard H. Driessel.
.............George died of tetanus (lockjaw) after injuring himself with an awl (or punch) used when working with leather, according to his great-grandson Rob Hirschboeck.

Notes on Louis/Andrew and Victoria Pfister:
.............A biography of Johan Hirschboeck, brother of Viktoria, lists Viktoria and Louis Pfister as living in Hayton, near Chilton, Wisconsin. However, in the 1870 U.S. Census, the family is listed in Charlestown, Calumet County, Wisconsin. Louis Pfister is listed as a farmer. The property is worth $6,000 (very high) and the assets of the family total $365. They are both originally from Bavaria (Bayern). Living with them are their 15 year old son, John Pfister, and Fabien Heilteme, age 27.
.............In the 1900 U.S. Census, the family is listed as living in Charlestown, Calumet County, Wisconsin. They are living with their son John, his wife, and their granddaughter. Additionally, Frank Geiser, age 24, is listed as living with them. Victoria is listed as unable to speak English. In the 1905 Wisconsin State Census, Frank Geiser is replaced with Cornelius Schmitz, age 23.

Notes on John and Catherine Hirschboeck:
.............John Hirschboeck was a member of the Choir at St. Mary's Church in Barton. The Choir was established just two years after the Church's founding in 1857. His birth name was Johan in Germany, and he was apparently nicknamed Nepomuc. The 1870 Milwaukee City Directory lists John Hirschboeck as residing at 624 Galena Street with his occupation being a shoemaker. In the 1880 U.S. Census, John shows up with his family in Kewaskum, Washington County, Wisconsin. The 1900 Census (Milwaukee, ward 18) lists the family as follows: John, born April 1840; Catharine, Oct. 1844; Josephine, Oct. 1873; Johanna, Dec. 1874, occupation: saleswoman; Catharine, Oct. 1878; Frank, Aug. 1887, at school.
.............The Hirschboeck family built a house on Park Place in Milwaukee, between Oakland Avenue and Cramer Street. This was next door to Catherine Hoff's brother, John T. Hoff, and her sister Phillipine Resch and brother Stephen Hoff lived nearby. (According to Herbert Hirschboeck, they also lived on North Water Street at Juneau Avenue.) John was a shoemaker in Milwaukee during a period when the custom making of shoes was losing ground to factory made shoes. After trying the production line employment at the Bradley and Metcalf Shoe factory, John decided he didn't like it and took his family with him to Kewaskum in Washington County. There he continued custom boot and shoe making independently.
.............It was in Washington County that he became involved in politics, as a county delegate for the Democrat Party. In 1891, General Billy Mitchell's father John L. Mitchell was running as a Democrat for U.S. Senator against Congressman Edward S. Bragg. As a result of Bragg's false promise (in 1885) to appoint John Hirschboeck to the post of Kewaskum Postmaster, John helped Mitchell win the eastern counties of Wisconsin, which were heavily populated by German immigrants. Mitchell won, and served as Senator for one term.
.............According to a story from Herbert Hirschboeck, 'ole Patrick O'Meara of West Bend loved to tell on John, whose popularity had made him chairman of village and county caucuses many times. O'Meara said that in one Kewaskum caucus there were two slates of delegates, one favored by John and one opposed, to be elected to go to the county caucus. There was a tie vote and, in the excitement, John, who could break the tie, forgot to vote. What O'Meara did not mention was that both slates came en masse to the county caucus and John was able to persuade the county caucus to recognize his slate. Instead of being considered a clown for not breaking that tie, he succeeded as an able politician.
.............Eventually, he gained appointment in the U.S. Treasury Department under Grover Cleveland. In that capacity, he served as a gauger -- a revenue agent in the pre-Prohibition era. The Internal Revenue Service position (in the Treasury Department) involved voluminous record preparation and late afternoons and evenings found John with daughters, Josephine and Katherine writing with glass stylus pens to make carbon copies and checking and rechecking reports.

Notes on Stephen and Katherine Hirschboeck:
.............Stephen was early employed in the Rosenheimer general store in Kewaskum and in selling farm machinery in the surrounding countryside. He returned to Milwaukee as a young man to enter Meyer's Business College to learn bookkeeping. He made this his vocation and served several employers, finally (1915) the Luick Ice Cream Company of which he was secretary at the time of his death. One of his achievements was development of cost accounting with charts and graphs which Mr. William F. Luick proudly took him to introduce to members of the ice cream industry at meetings around the country. He was active in Milwaukee in 1863 as a member of the Deutschen Maenner Verein, a Catholic young men's society in whose roster were the names of most of the German Catholic families of Milwaukee. The social entertainment, concerts, balls, amateur theatricals and choruses of such societies were a fertile ground for romances.
.............Stephen H. Hirschboeck and Katherine J. Heiser were married May 26, 1896 by Rev. Wilmes in St. Mary's Church, Milwaukee. They lived in Gregg's duplex on Cramer Street just North of Bradford Avenue in St. Peter and Paul Parish. On Webster Place (then Summit Place), the North end of the same block, Charles Heiser built a duplex and Stephen and Katherine moved to the lower flat where their other children were born. On Kensington Boulevard between Farwell and Maryland Avenues in the North end of Shorewood it was built in 1925 and 1926. Their children were still with them. Herbert, a lawyer since 1921 was still single, Elizabeth was in Medical School and John in Marquette University High School.
.............Elizabeth finished Medical School and interned for a year at St. Francis Hospital in La Crosse. She left for Maryknoll September 28, 1928, received her habit as a Maryknoll Sister April 3, 1929 and was professed January 6, 1931. The story of her missionary service in Korea and in Bolivia and again in South Korea is told in Her Name is Mercy by Sister Maria Del Rey (Scribner 1957).
.............John, after graduation in Business Administration, entered the Marquette University School of Medicine. He received his M.D. degree in 1937 and had just begun practice of medicine when, in December, 1941, he entered service in the U.S. Navy for World War II including service in the Naval hospital on Guam. He later served as Dean of the School of Medicine.
.............Katherine Hirschboeck passed away in her home May 16, 1936. Stephen continued to live there, with John, until his death on September 27, 1941. The funeral took place at St. Robert's Church, which they had attended since building their home in Shorewood. Their last address was 2213 East Kensington Blvd. Stephen and Katherine Hirschboeck are buried in the Charles Heiser family plot at Calvary Cemetery, block 18, row 16. Their son John is buried with them along with Rosemary L. Hirschboeck (1916-1981). There are no other Hirschboeck's buried in that plot so the other children must be buried elsewhere.

Return to Family History
EARLIEST GENERATIONS
The Hirschböck/Hirschboeck (also spelled Hirschbeck in the U.S.) family, pronounced Here-sh-beck, originates in Bayern, the former province of Bavaria, in southeast Germany.
The family was Roman Catholic. Melchior Hirschböck, the earliest traceable ancestor, married Maria Anna Becitter on November 10, 1750 in Burgheim. Hirschbock had been working as a messenger of the chapter of the cathedral since about 1749. He was also a shoemaker by trade. Becitter was a widower, formerly married to the late George Becitter. Her maiden name is not known, and Becitter is probably a misspelling of her name. After Becitter died (likely around 1785), Melchior Hirschböck married Johanna Hurberin of Gansheim.
The town of Gansheim is located to the north and west of Burgheim, sixteen minutes by car. It is unclear if Damion Hirschböck, who was married in 1801, was born to Becitter or Hurberin. It is likely that Becitter may have passed shortly after the birth of her son or perhaps as a result of childbirth complications.
Damion Hirschböck, a shoemaker in the town, married Maria Anna Reichel (Reichlin) on February 4, 1801 in Burgheim. A dowry was transmitted from the bride to the groom. The only recorded child of Damion and Maria Anna was Sebastian Hirschböck, the immigrant ancestor, born in 1807 in Burgheim.
BURGHEIM, BAYERN, GERMANY
The family traces back to Burgheim (Wikipedia), a small market village in the northwestern part of the Neuburg-Schröbenhausen district of Bavaria in the administrative region called Oberbayern. The overall region is in the eastern part of Bavaria, but the town itself is located fairly close to the Baden-Wurttemberg province.
Burgheim is surrounded by Ortlfing and Stras (or Strass in English), Moos and Schnodhof (or Schnoedhof in English). Ingolstadt (about 100,000 people) is a town east of Burgheim, Augsburg (about 250,000 people) is south of Burgheim, and Donauworth (about 20,000 people) is west of Burgheim. Donauworth is the capital of the district Donau-Ries, which is also where the town of Herblingen (where my Eisenbarth family resided) is located.
The sub-region (Kreis) where Burgheim is located is called Neuburg-Schröbenhausen near Swabia and consists of the previously swampy areas between the Danube and Paar Rivers that are called the Donaumoos. Burgheim had 170 houses in 1800, with between 700 and 1,000 residents.
EMIGRATION TO WISCONSIN
In Bavaria, Sebastian and wife Maria Elisabetha Mair/Maier/Myer Hirschboeck had four children. Most Hirschboeck family members in the U.S. are descendants of one of Sebastian Hirschboeck's three sons. The family emigrated to the U.S. in 1853 and settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Details about the emigration follow.
Herschbeck, Sebastian 46/M farmer
Herschbeck, Elisabeth 52/F
Herschbeck, George 22/M
Herschbeck, Damian 21/M
Herschbeck, Nepomuc 13/M
Herschbeck, Victoria 17/F
Ship: The Tempest
From: Havre, France to New York (USA)
Arrived: Aug. 15, 1853
(source: Germans to America, p.279)
Although initially the family settled in Milwaukee, Sebastian and Elizabeth moved to Barton (present-day West Bend) in Washington County, Wisconsin in 1855. In Barton, the Hirschboeck family helped establish the St. Mary's Immaculate Conception Church. The Church is located in the former Barton, currently West Bend, Wisconsin, on Jefferson Street, between Harrison and Monroe Streets. The Old St. Mary's Cemetery still exists in West Bend, on Woodford Road just off of Highway D and behind the Moraine Park Technical College on West Bend's north side. This is the cemetery where early Hirschboeck family members were buried.
The 1870 population of Barton was just 1440. In 1880, the village of Barton had a population of 348, with the town population at 1275 (total 1689). The 1890 Census was lost and has never been located.
SEBASTIAN HIRSCHBOECK CLOCK
According to cousin Ione J. Schuster on January 9, 1974, "The Sebastian Hirschboeck clock in Barton, WI is in the church tower of the Immaculate Conception Church. This information is from Mr. Alfred Schroeder, a jeweler who has repaired it on occasion. Also, his interest stems back a long time as his father helped move the clock to the new church in 1900. It first was in the original St. Mary's Church located in Barton, built in 1857."
"The clock has four faces and hours and quarter hours are struck on the church bell. It is run by weights about 100 lbs. each. The weights are hung on steel cables, which are wound around a drum. It is wound by hand, with a crank. The pendulum swings behind the organ loft and weighs approximately 100 lbs. as well. It is located in the last part of the church steeple. There are no windows there. It is reached through a trap door via ladder. It must be wound every day, keeps perfect time, but stops in the winter months when ice gets into the mechanism."
There is also a bell originally used at St. Joseph's Church in Milwaukee and transferred to the new St. Joseph's Church in Wauwatosa that is believed to have been crafted by a Hirschboeck family member -- although it is unclear who crafted it.
CIVIC PARTICIPATION AND POLITICS
Politics was integral to our Hirschboeck ancestors. Barton was overwhelmingly Democrat until at least 1900. In 1860, Barton and Washington County favored Stephen Douglas, yet the most of the Midwest (including Wisconsin) favored Republican Abraham Lincoln. In 1864, the total number of registered voters in Barton was just 42.
Sebastian Hirschboeck frequented Democratic Party Conventions in Wisconsin. His son Damian served as both a delegate to Democratic Conventions and as an officer in the town of Barton. Damian was involved in politics in Washington County. Sebastian's son John was an appointed revenue officer in the U.S. Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (for President Grover Cleveland). Johan (John) was supposed to be appointed postmaster in Kewaskum, but that promise was not carried out by Congressman Edward Bragg.
HIRSCHBOECK BROTHERS IN THE NEW WORLD
The least information is known about the oldest son, George Vincenz Hirschboeck, of whom I am a descendant. The oldest and youngest of the three brothers moved to Milwaukee; Damion "Daniel" Hirschboeck stayed in Barton. The family trade was machinery or shoemaking. Almost all of the male family members in the first and second U.S. generations were involved with one of these trades.
John (Johan) Hirschboeck's great-great-grandson Christopher J. Jaekels believes that his ancestor was named Johan after John the Baptist and named Nepomuc after Saint John de Nepomuc. (St. John de Nepomuc was the Vicar General of Prague and Patron Saint of Bohemia that was executed by drowning in the Moldau River by King Wenceslas for refusing to reveal what the Queen had told him in confession.)
According to A History of the Village of Barton, Sebastian Hirschboeck was "one of the earliest of the German craftsmen to come to the village and was a shoe and bootmaker. He and his sons were notable in commercial development and church affairs fro several generations."
Continues the book, "Another extremely important trade [in the town] was the manufacture and repair of footwear. George and Damian Hirschboeck had a shop for the manufacture, sale, and repair of boots and shoes, probably started by their father Sebastian, and this shop continued under other owners into the 1930s, when John Heindl was the last owner." (I believe the author means that Damian and his son, George, m: Katherine Hartmann, had this shop. George V. Hirschboeck, the brother of Damian and my direct ancestor, was in Milwaukee.)
George V. Hirschboeck and his wife Tillie Reichl Hirschboeck had a son, George, my great-great-grandfather. George married Josephine Lemberger. Great-grandfather Joe Hirschboeck was their son. Our branch of the family is quite modest compared to the doctors, lawyers, and academics in the other family branches. Among the famous or notable family members:

Hirschboeck sailed on a Navy Aircraft Carrier, the Lexington (ship number CV-16), which sailed on Feb. 19, 1944. Joseph H. Hirschboeck, a technical sergeant in the army, passed away in Saint James, France during WWII on July 11, 1944. He is buried at Brittany American Cemetery.
SURNAME MEANINGS
The origins of the surname involves the combination of two parts: First, the Middle High German hir(t)z means 'deer' or 'stag', which was a metonymic occupational name for a keeper of deer, a nickname for someone thought to resemble a deer or stag, or a habitational name for someone who lived at a house distinguished by the sign of a stag; and, second, the South German böck translates to "buck." Therefore Hirschböck was an ancient Bavarian name that meant "deerbuck" or "stag deer."
The surname Maier comes from Middle High German meier, a status name for a steward, bailiff, or overseer. Originally it denoted a village headman (ultimately from Latin maior, meaning 'greater' or 'superior').
The surname Reichel is derived from a pet form of any of several Germanic personal names formed with the Germanic element ric or 'power'.
The surname Lemberger was a habitational name for someone from any of the various places called Lemberg.
