The
Staelin Meyer Cookbook
The Meyer Magnus portion of the family comes from Prussia and the Bydgoszcz region of Poland. The Magnus family owned a large farm in Konigsberg, however, there are several German Konigsbergs including one near Brandenburg and one in Nordheim Westfalken. The Meyers lived in Schonber g and later near Intersburg, Province Ost Preussen not far from Konigsberg.
Ruprecht family comes from the Marburg Kassel area, including #6 Kuggelgasse Marburg, Kassel, Spanenburg, Fulda, Jena, Heisfeld, Melsungen, and (Corbach?)
Some moved from Flanders to Germany in the 1500s/1600s, a time of religious upheaval.
The goal of this cookbook is to convey, through recipes/menus and family histories, lifestyles, personalities, values and traits of the Staelin Meyer Family. Via Margo Staelin we have a few of Wilhelmina Meyer Kessler Staelin’s recipes, and both Augusta Ruprecht Meyer Weltner and George Roese compiled extensive family histories. Their writings form the backbone of this “cookbook.” Additionally, Steffi Staelin most generously shared relevant portions of her father Rolf’s family document of 1937. Many thanks to Margo H. Staelin, Mimi Staelin Fer rell, Earl Staelin, Steve Staelin, Rick Staelin, Charles Staelin and most especially, David Staelin for all their help with this project. k.staelin New York City 2000

He had 10 children, to each of them he left a legacy of 100,000 thaler. In his mansion he had room enough for all his children and grandchildren at Christmas time, and personally he provided a present not only for the members of his family, but for every man, woman, and child in his village. His children prospered and Holstein was bought/inherited by his eldest son, Johann Ferdinand, who married his cousin, E.von Magnus, part of the Russian branch of the Magnus clan.

She went thru a private school for girls in Marburg. Easter 1867 she entered the Prussian Teachers Seminary at Elberfeld, Rhine Province. She graduAugusta 1939 ated with first honor August 1869, and shortly after embarked with her Mother and sisters on S.S. Rhein for America (New York City) to join her father and brother. Immediately after landing August 27, 1869 she taught in a private school in Brooklyn and in the newly organized Normal College, now Hunters College in NYC.

There was no wedding trip and the bride's parents furnished the new home and gave a chest of silver.
After Heinrich Meyer died of the influenza she remarried on Nov. 11, 1892 at 4 p.m. in St. John's Church, Christopher Str. NYC to Rev. Charles E. Augusta as Weltner. Florence and Philip were the attendants, Rev. George Enders of Mrs C.E. Weltner York Pa. officiated, and Mr. Redmund Y. M. C. A. (Tor F?)eaty/Leader? of NY 1851-1945 was best man..

During the winter of 1892-93 he had charge of St. John's Church, Christopher Str. NYC, and during this time November 11, 1892 he married Mrs. Augusta Meyer. When (Mrs.?) Weltner's health began to fail he gave up the work and served for several years congregations in Oglethorpe, Ga._ and Brunswick Ga. In the fall of 1893 Weltner received a (unanimous?) call to become pastor of St. Mathews Lutheran Church of Augusta, GA, and he served faithfully there for 13 years. There is a memorial window above the alter in that church in his honor. March 1906 he accepted work at Olympia near Columbia, S.C.

But he took up the work with strong courage and soon was head of a night school of 300 boys and girls meeting 3 evenings a week from 7 to 9:30 pm. Some of the scholars became ministers, others teachers, magistrates, engineers, and some served in all trades and made good wherever they worked. Weltner also taught practical theology in the seminary in Columbia. For quite some time his physical strength began to ebb away, and an attack of influenza and pneumonia ended his life of wonderful service and influence December 22, 1917. Never was pastor or teacher better able to kindle in young people aspiration for higher and better conditions in thir lives. Newberry College conferred on him the Doctors Degree in 1910. He was totally blind during the last 20 years of his life, yet he was one of the most active, and loved ministers of his time. He lies buried in the Cemetery of Augusta, Ga. the city that he loved so much.

Charles Longstreet Weltner was one of the few southern Congressmen, who voted in favor of the civil rights legislation of 1964, contributing to the passage of the bill. Later Charles Longstreet Weltner was placed in an awkward position, having to run for congress on the same Democratic ticket as a segregationist. He chose to withdraw, thereby ending his political career. His choice poses the question, does one compromise ones position if it means that later on you can help bring about greater change for the good.

1100s

A group of nobles named Staelin lived in the BadenWurttemberg area in the 1100's. Their family wealth was based largely on an earlier large land grant from a powerful king (Charlemagne?) indebted for some service, presumably in battle.
The family divided into two main branches with different coats of arms and spellings. In Villigen (40 miles east of Frieburg) in the 13th century the Staehlin Stechsburg family of the "imperial generations" (what does that phrase mean?) was forced to emigrate to Basel, Switzerland because of their evangelistic stand.
1200s
The Nikolauskapelle in Calw (Calf), a small town perhaps 40 miles west of Stuttgart requiring a long winding drive, memorializes a battle. This memorial, perhaps 3-4 meters in diameter, is located at middle of a small bridge across the river and has 10 coats of arms in its stained-glass windows, including that of the Staelin's with its two cross-bowmen sharing the shield with two half eagles, but without the extra cross-bowman at the top. The memorial plaque roughly reads "Approximately in the year 1400 Prince Kaufherrn raised an army which twice attacked the town, but with fortitude and the help of St. Nicklaus the town did not surrender, The Villenger Staelinstrasse in Heumaden, near although by the end of the war (Weltkrieg) my Staelin crest town had sustained heavy bombardment and damCalw has a hooded age; in recognition my lord gave me this county falcon in with its people, lands, water, and the right to tax shield and and raise armies. God bless Calw and all Germany. Reiheshals NDC". (spelling?) as helmet decor.
1400s
David H. Staelin: My father Carl G. and grandfather Richard A. were both inter ested in history, including family history, and in their European travels slowly accumulated information, much of which I now have. Much of the information comes from Dorothy Staelin Koenig of Shiltach (Germany) in ~1957 and from Eugen Staelin of Calw (Germany) in 1914; legend and recalled reminisces provide most of the rest.
Our branch of the Staelins uses a 4-part shield with a half eagle in quadrants 1 and 4, and the crossbow in quadrants 2 and 3, repeating the crossbow as helmzier on top of the crest between two "buffalo horns" (were there buffalo in Europe, or were these elephant trunks?). The American Staelins have replaced the eagles with doves for at least the last century-I suspect this change occurred during or after the American emigration in ~1850.
Nikolauskapelle, Calw 1984
In the United States the Staehlins outnumber the Staelins several times.
There was also a Staelin family, partly noble, in Memmingen that existed in Bavaria at least until the 1950's. Through the diploma of Kaiser Franz 1st in 1765 Jacob Staelin, Stoersberg, was raised to nobility; It particularly stated that some of his forefathers in Memmingen (in Augsburg) and in Switzerland "stood in honor and worthiness". The Princely Wurttemberger service book in the 16-18th century lists 30 Staelins as officials with higher or lower rankings. In addition, the book of the monastery Alpensback (spelling? Alfersback?) in Roethenbacker of 1560 records taxes for a series of Staelins, partly with the remark "as his forefathers", also indicating an old established officialdom.

In ~1984 Ellen and I (DHS) visited Calw and found a Ms. Staelin in the phonebook living in Hof Dicke, which we assumed was a small development due to its prominence on the town map. We drove out and were surprised to arrive in the square dirt courtyard of a large farmhouse and barn complex centered in a large rolling farm estate. The elderly owners, the Beyer's, were home and graciously showed us their country home and talked about the Staelin family history-Mrs. Beyer was related to the Staelins, and Ms. Staelin (then about 60?) was visiting elsewhere. Apparently the Beyer family bought the property from the Staelins in ~1850. The Stuttgart home of Jacob Friedrich was pictured there as a large granite edifice, and the Beyer's had many volumes of what appeared to be old German "Who's Who"'s listing numerous Staelins.

ment allowed for both sociability and independence. Mimi predeceased Richard by just a few years, dying in the late 1960s. Richard died at age 94, cheerful and aler t to the end.

Richard Adolph Staelin b. 1878, the younger son of Adolph Staelin and his wife Mathilda,, used to challenge the professional chess and checkers players in New York's central park and frequently won, and raced bicycles. After two years at the City University of New York he immediately joined the same Manhattan importing firm as his brother Gus. He retired from the firm at age 80 as a Vice President and Director, having assumed the Director's seat when Gus retired earlier. Richard married Wilhelmina Ruprecht Meyer Kessler, who was raised as a Kessler by her Aunt Mimi Meyer Kessler when her widowed mother married a blind minister, Charles Weltner, and moved with the other children to Georgia. Richard and Wilhelmina (Mimi) had two children, Richard Carl Staelin b. 1908, and Carl Gustav Staelin, 1911-1977. They moved from New York City to 201 Larchmont Ave., Larchmont, New York in approx. 1920, and spoke german at home until the onset of world war one. Dick Staelin went off to school (first grade) not knowing any English. Carl was four when the family switched to English. Richard A. became one of the charter members of the Larchmont Shore Club and was an excellent bridge player. He had a delightful almost elfish quality, with a contagious sparkle in his eye. He also could convey concise insightful long views of history, based in part on pre-war annual buying trips in Europe and, as a young man, long selling trips across the U.S. As a child I (DHS) delighted in having a grandfather who had been in charge of all toy imports. In their later years Richard and Mimi moved to a new, large apartment building designed as a retirement community in Bridgeport Ct. Everyone had a private apartment and meals were served once a day in a common dining hall. This arrange-
Always a lady, Mimi had a definite sense of humor, though she tended not to tell jokes per se.

An avid garner, she developed a rock garden in the back of her home, and joined the garden club. In addition she was active in the church, cooked, was a member of the Larchmont Shore Club, and played bridge. As of 4.2000, all American Staelins descend from Richard and Wilhelmina.

Richard Carl Staelin (Dick) (9.8.1908 New York - ) A live wire who recalls childhood escapades and later in life was full of fun and a great teaser. He spoke only German at first and began school behind, but caught up quickly. He graduated from Weslyan, traveled abroad, and then married his second cousin Dorothy Louise Potts of New York City. They enjoyed golf and racing through the New York Times crossword puzzles together. A marketing executive for a large food corporation and later for Hudson Paper Company, Dick lived, at various points, in Larchmont, NY, Birmingham, MI, Oak Park, IL, and Riverside, CT, where he often commuted by train to the city. After he retired and Dorothy died of cancer, he married an old family friend, Betty, and later moved to Durham, NC, near his eldest son, Rick.

Extremely efficient and hard driving, his secretary queued his outbound calls so he could execute them faster. During the Second World War (he was defer red as an OCF officer) and until retirement he carpooled nearly every day with co-workers, returning home promptly near 6pm where Margo joined him as hostess and partner in an active social life. Social and business enter taining were often indistinguishable and involved several evenings per week. They were active in the formation of a World Affairs discussion group (still meeting), the Toledo Ski Club, and other groups. He served as president of the Toledo Club and the Inverness Country Club, purchasing large plots of land important to the present status of those two clubs, but over intense opposition in both cases. As president of the Toledo Rotary Club he wrote a 72 page history of Toledo. He was an avid golfer, even in rain and snow, and his handicap broke 10, and he won OCF and club tournaments. He also did significant home repairs (raising the slate roof of the double garage using pullies and his own weight), helped Margo wallpaper, had a photographic darkroom, and painted pictures. There was time too for family ski trips and other fun with Margo and the children (David, Earl, Mimi, Steven). One of Carl’s tricks was walking on his hands.
In high school he became an Eagle scout, working summers at Camp Siwanoy, was a gymnastic cheerleader, and a star in a school play (for which he was temporarily suspended when he reinserted the censored line: “Of course I love you in that fur coat, but i would love you even if it were only a coat of tan.”) At the University of Michigan, where he studied mechanical engineering, his Chi Psi brothers nicknamed him “Chick” and gave him their “most academically improved” award. He earned a varsity letter in swimming (breaststroke) the year they won the championship; Larchmont Shore Club also gave him two ver y large handsome silver cups (swimming trophies) in which the family stored medals and golf balls. As a college senior he met Margaret Hudson (Margo) playing tennis at the Larchmont Shore Club, and it was love at first sight. After a lengthy courtship of four years they married in Larchmont, December of 1935, the same weekend as his brother, Dick. His graduation money had been applied toward a Law degree from Fordham, after which he practiced patent law with Owens-Illinois Glass Company in Toledo. He wrote the early patents for fiberglass and helped form the Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation,(OCF) where he headed Earlier around the dinner table, he their legal department. made up stories about “Grandfather Spitzpoopen, Cousin Coopernackle, As OCF Corporate Secretary and key and Uncle Dooberry” and their chalcorporate link to R&D he contributed to lenging global adventures.

Richard Staelin (8/5/39) At Michigan he waited tables at the KAT sorority where he met his wife Julie Fischer. Later he marketed at IBM, earned a PhD at Michigan in business, and became a Professor of marketing at Carnegie Mellon, and then Duke where he became a Dean and headed their International non-resident MBA program, taught partly on the internet. Their eldest, Richard (Adam) graduated from Duke, married twice, and lives in CA . Adam’s children are Mary Francis, Kennan and a son expected shortly. Kate arrived as an infant, studied dance at the Boston Conservatory and was a cheerleader for the New England Patriots football team. She married, and later divorced, Sam Gash, a starter for the team. Her children are Samantha and Kolby Gash.

He was a Director for three star t-up companies and Chairman of PictureTel 1984-87. Currently he is an Assistant Director at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory.

Weekends he works (& naps) spread out on his bed or in the garden with his legs up. Since in science one deduces and extrapolates from a few simple laws he doesn’t need a good memory for his work. Inevitably during family dinner conversations something strikes his interest and he says “oh thats interesting... /how would that work/what’s the probability? etc....” He has an even disposition, a dry sense of humor, & always seeks the common good.

He spent 12 years in Legal Services helping clients who couldn’t pay and has spent much time handling personal injury cases, often chemical injuries. Financial viscitudes are part of the business since one has to make capital outlays to bring a case to trail in the hope that it will win. He is willing to listen to people whose complaints may be hard to pin down allergies etc., and he started using dietary defences in criminal cases, some of which have been incorporated into the sentencing phase. As a youngster Earl was active and competitive and enjoyed music, playing the trombone through high school. At Yale he sang in the Russian Chorus. Having a good memory he did well in histor y. After finishing at the Univ. of Michigan Law School Earl increasingly focused on helping others. Athletic, he played football in high school, swam in college, and was active in intramurals. Even now he plays racketball and swims. Eating in a healthy way is part of fitness for Earl. 1973-1995 he and Carol Keeney were married, adopting Vijay in 1987 when he was an infant. They moved from Toledo to Austin TX in 1981, building their own home. Carol later moved to Denver, CO, and in 1999 Earl married Francesca di’Frapolli in TX.
Mimi Staelin Feb. 6, 1942, Toledo OH (approx.7 lbs) After graduating from the University of Michigan Mimi taught fifth grade and married Robert Ferrell, who later went to medical school and became a psychiatrist.

She has also taught at St. Paul’s and Andover Academy. Currently she teaches, takes class in Boston most mornings, rides horses, is a grandmother, and is interested in investments. While both she and Bob are industrious they also take time to play - traveling to Greece, Italy, the Carribean ... Warm and vital, she enjoys people and is always interested in what they are doing. Having an excellent sense of color and texture, she makes lively pictures with fabric. Her home is always in a state of transition, with new additions, alterations, and decorations.

In the mid 1980's they lived for five years in Louisville KY, and in the 1990s they purchased a condo in Boca Grande, Florida which they increasingly visit. Growing up Steve was very people oriented. He is laid back, has an even disposition, and is very active in the community. He has been president of their local school board and president of Inverness Club. Athletic, he golfs, skis & swims. Stephen Tyler(1969) (BS Univ. of Michigan, MD Vanderbilt Univ.)is a doctor in surgical residency at the U of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics in Madison, where Tyler’s fiancee, Katie Wnuk was an RN in cardiac intensive care.

Er blieb unverheiratet, war ein etwas sonderbarer Mann. Eine grosse Sammlung von Briefabschriften an Freunde ist erhalten gelieben, die zum Teil hochst interessant Streiflichter auf dei gesellschaftlichen Verhaltnisse Calw’s zu Anfang und bis in die Zwanziger Jahre des vorigen Jahrhunderts werfen. Er war ein grosser hagerer Herr, von dem alle moglichen, eigentumlichen Geschichten im Unlauf waren. Eine besondere Vorliebe hatte er fur den Weinhandel, den er schliesslich auch in grussen Umfang betrieben hat. Gestorben ist Gottfried Ferdinand im Hause seines Neffen Wilhelm Adolf Staelin.
