OUR GERMAN-RUSSIAN HERITAGEI have located several references that indicate that the surname Dinkel if of occupational origin, one of those names derived from the trade or profession once pursued by the original bearer. In this instance, the name Dinkel cna be traced to the Germanic word "dinkel", meaning "spelt" Spelt was a grain similar to barley and wheat, which was grown extensively in the German speaking states during the middle ages. In those days it was common practice to identify a person with the type of work he did. Thus a person (farmer) that grew spelt was named Dinkel occurs in 1364.Many of the Germanic people departed from German during the late 1700's and early 1800's due to the disaster in that part of the world following the Seven Year War (1756-1763). Family tradition suggests that our DINKEL ancestors emigrated from Koblitz, Bavaria in 1764, during the exodus of Germans to Russia. There was a major economic crisis in all Europe after the war, poverty was rampant and soldiers were roaming the countryside looking for work and something to eat.Catherine the Great of Russia, of Germanic ancestry, had vast expenses of land that she wanted settled, developed and protected from the heathen nomadic tribes that lived in scattered sections of the Russian steppes. In 1762 she issued an invitation, referred to as a "Manifesto", to the European peoples. This invitation, being rather vague, produced few results so she issued a second invitation in 1763 containing 10 articles making specific promises to anyone that settled in Russia. This invitation garnered many people, including some 25,000 Germans from 1763 to 1767, willing to accept her invitation. From 1764, when the first settlers arrived in the Saratov region of the river Volga, until 1768 some 104 villages were established, 44 on the Bergseite and 60 on the Wiesenseite of the Volga. The villages on the west side, the mountain side, of the Volga were on the BVergseite, those on the east side, the meadow side, were on the Wiesenseite. The village of Herzog, on the Weisenseite, along the river Karaman was established in 1766. Times were extremely difficult when the settlers first arrived. They had to erect their own shelters and establish their villages in the vast expanse of the Volga steppes. Their initial shelters were mere earthen huts.The original settler list for the Colony of Herzog, dated 14 July 1766, comprised of 35 families does not contain the surname DINKEL. It does, however, contain teh name of Johann and Anna Kuhn, names in positions 48 and 49 on Andreas A DINKEL's Pedigree Chart (included). The first reference DINKEL (Nicolaus) was located in the original settler list for the Colony of Mariental dated 1766. His name has not been found in any of the 1798 census that have currently been translated. The census of Herzog, dated 2 June 1798, does indicated a Jakob DINKEL, had resided in Herzog but had moved to Leichtling in 1786. The 1798 census of Leichtling indicates that Jakob had resided there but had died prior to this census. His wife, Helen Ortman, and their children are included in the census of 7 October 1798. This census indicates that Joseph, a son of Jakob and Helena, was 3 years old at the time. Additional research disclosed that Joseph was the father of Peter who was the father of Andreas.Eventually, the privileges bestowed on the settlers by the Manifesto of 1763, especially the exemption from military service, aroused the resentment of the Russians. In January 1874 a military law was passed requiring the settlers to serve in the armed services. This, the repeal of the special privileges granted by Catherine the Great in the Manifesto, aroused extreme indignation in the German settlers. In the spring of 1874, meetings were held in Herzog on the Wiesenseite, and Balzar on the Bergseite, to select scouts to the United States in search of new land to settle. The scouts returned with favorable reports. The initial military draft of settlers in 1874 precipitated matters and the first departure of settlers for the United States occurred in October 1875. A larger group followed, departing in June 1876. Our ancestors, Andreas DINKEL and Katharine KUHN, were among this latter group. Departing Saratov, this group occupied 17 coaches, some progressed to Hamberg and the remainder to Bremen. Andreas and Katharina were in the group progressing to Bremen. The Bremen group took passage on the North German Lloyd S.S. Mosel, under the command of ship master H. A. F. Neymaker. The fare was 38 rubels (27.36) per passenger. Katharina is listed as passenger 514 in steerage and Andreas is listed as passenger 542 in steerage on the passenger list of the ship, which includes 705 passengers. The S.S. Mosel arrived athe the Port of New York on 29 July 1876. Those coming to Kansas immediatly made arrangements, at rubles (11.52) per passenger, to proceed to Kansas arriving at Herzog/Victoria on 3 August 1876, the rubel was worth 72 cents.After arriving in Herzog, Victoria, Andreas worked at various employments including a tour with the Kansas Pacific Railroad. He completed application to homestead the south 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of section 32-13-16 on 26 December 1877. Andreas and Katharina married on 21 January 1879. Their first child, Andreas A., was born on 28 July followed by nine more children, for a total of five boys and five girls. He purchased his first parcel of land, the north 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of section 32-13-16, from Magdalena Riedel, on 24 October 1884, for $425.oo. He was granted a homestead patent for the south 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of section 32-13-16 (applied for on 26 December 1877) on 27 Jaunary 1887. The patent was given under the hand of President Grover Cleveland. He purchased additional lands in ellis and Trego Counties., He also purchsed Lot 5 in Block 2 in the Nicholaus Dreiling addition to the town of Herzog on 26 February 1901 for $300.00 from Martin and Magdalena Riedel.For a more detailed account of the exodus from Germany to Russia, life in the lower Volga region of Russia, the exodus to America and early life of the Volga German settlers in Ellis County, Kansas, a bibliography is available for your purchase.

Werth, O.F. M. Cap., M.A. Saint Joseph Catholic Center 215 West 13th Street Hays, Kansas 67601 Three days after ALVIN WERTH's death, his guardiann EARL MEYER began his funeral homily saying, "It would be difficult for anyone on such short notice and. with such limited time to offer an adequate reflection "on Alvin's long and full life. Three months later it is still difficult." "Anyone who knew Fr. Alvin will recall," Fr. Earl continued, "that he was meticious and extracatious in planning. all the details of his life." Perhaps it is not so well known that he was also very carerful in documenting most of it. Alvin understood the value of documentaation for any history, and left 15 cartons of it to be digested at some future date. One of the most precious of these records is a 56-year-old motionpicture of his first mass at Schoenchen. He also left reams of notes on local and family history, thousands of sermonds, and a box after box of photographs. There are also about 500 cassette tapes which will need to be carefully sifted before deciding what to keep. Many were taped off Mother Angelia's Eternal Word Television Network, which he loved to watch in his last years, but many others are recordings of interviews he conducted over the years of family members and other people from earlier eras. Promptled by the 80-year-old four-seasons candle which, at the urging of Alvin's mother, had burned at Alvins' baptism, his first Mass, his 25th and 50th jubilies, and now his funeral, Earl summed up his life byy referring to and commenting on four overlappping seasons of Alvin's life: his family, his priesthood, his mature study, and his retirement. Alvin, the 3rd oldest of the 12 children of Nikolaus and Magdalena (Hertel) Werth, was born 29 Augg. 1907 and baptised under the name Vincennt the following day by Fr, Charles Minig. DUrinng high school at Hays Catholic College, he played the violin in the school orchestra and sang in the Messiah chorous at the normal school (now Ft Hays State University. At the age of 18, he graduated first in his class from junior college at Hays Catholic College, and soon after left for the noviate at Herman. Earl added that "In one sense he never left home. He spoke of his parents often and as though they were still alive. He followed every detail, almost daily events of his extended family and the activities of his hometown. More than once, when he was too sick or too waek to make a trip to Victoria, when news came that a grandniece or grandnephew was being married in Kansas City or Chicago; he instantly recovered and enjoyed the trip." Alvin's sudden death cut short the completion of a family-related project he had been working on for some time, a genealogical study of the Werth family he was nearly ready to take to printers. Alvin received minor orders from. Bp. John M. McNamara in Cumberland on 4 Oct. 1930, and the three major orders from Bishop Francis Tief in May of 1932: subdiaconate May 1 at Concordia, diaconate May 5 at Victoria, and priesthood May 8 at Hays. "He was rightly proud of being the first priest froom his home parish at Schoenchen." Fr. Earl commented. "He enjoyed his work as a priest and found personal fulfillment in his priestly duties which were many and varied. He was a pastor, a chaplain, an administrator, a religious superior, and an author in Maryland, Missouri and his native Kansas. Even late in the hospital to visit the sick; and everyone got a personal prrayeer and Fr. Alvin's special blessing." Alvin was happy in all of the pastoral assignments he held between 1933 and 1977 and corresponded withmany people in all of these places. Shortly before attending the Cresaptown MD centennary in 1985, he wrotte some old friends that he doubted whether his health would permit his traveling there, but that he would be there in spirit. "If I don't get to see you again in this life." he wrote, "I'll see you. in heaven, where there is no more pain and suffering, nothing but ssupreme happiness." In his final bulletin at Antonio, Alvin said that he left with a heavy heart because "I like it here," but added quoted Mac. 6, 22, that he had submitted to his provincial's will".. . . in a noble manner, worthy of his years, the dignity of his advanced age, and the merited distinction of his gray hair." During the course of his 80 years, Alvin seemed to have left the U.S. four times: at lesat there are references to that many foreign trips in the many boxes of documentation he left behind: a tour of 15 Italian cities, with the Fratellanza Society of St. Louis in August of 1968; a pilgrimage retreat at Our Lady of the Cape in Three Rivers, Quebec, in May 1969; a trip to Puerto Rico in 1980; and his goldenn jubilee tree in Munich, Heidelberg, Frankfort and various places in Switzerland and Austria in August of 1983. Winter for Alvin, Earl said, was a retirement, which was neither bleak no cold, but rather thoroughly enjoyed. "He dabbled into family history and church history. He renewed old aquaintances and made new ones. He relished the opportunity to observe and comment on the busy life around him... He spent many hours in the chapel. He seldom missed a service or a devotion in churchh. For all practical purposes the only television he watched were programs on religion...His interests even in retirement were apostolic." ALVIN WERTH had many periods of illness during his life, but her was able to keep active till the day of his death June 27, 1988. After a normal day's activities, he asked to be taken to the hospital and, to the surprise of even the doctor in attendance, died shortly thereafter. The origin and history of the name WERTH The surname WERTH, sometimes spelled Woerth, comes from the Gothic surname Worth. Werth, according to THE CLASSIC GERMAN DICTIONARY. (Follet Publishing Company, Chicago, IL.,) means value, worth. In 1968, this writer was in London, England, I found numerous entries of the surname Werth in the London telephone directory. I consulted a professor in a London Museum about the name Werth and he replied that a youngster he had studied about warlord general from Sussex, England by the name Werth. The Werth Coat-of-Arms (by John W. Ward and Co., 171 Meeting St. Charleston, SC) shows that people of northwest Europe having the surname Werth belonged to the Saxton tribe. In 1983 I toook a tour through Germany and Switzerland. I visited my friends, Rita and Wolfgand Shafers, in Warburg, Westphalia, Germany. In a Warburg cemetery I found a well-kept lot in which the family members of Henry Werth were interred. I also spoke with two gentlemen by telephone in Warburg who were namned Werth; one was a printer and the other was a dealer in lumber. The surname Weth also appears in Hesse, Bavaria, Baden-Wurtemburg, Germany. It appears in the cantons of Bern and Graubunden, Switzerland (B. Nussbaumer, Altmanwweg 1, CH-9012, St. Gallen, Switzerland). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
