Daisy Dillman Band Andrew Stillman – Co-Editor The Janssen Library and the Historical Society of Berks County, both in Reading, PA, are a short distance from Harrisburg where the Dillman Genealogical Conference is slated to be in August 2020. With many Dillman immigrants having lived or passed through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during the past few centuries, researchers will benefit from attending this conference. The exact dates and location should be available in the next newsletter but mark1 your calendars now. 1. President’s Corner - by Don A. Dillman For more than a decade our DFA Newsletter has reported “all things” Dillman, ranging from reports of our Biennial Dillman Genealogical Conferences to the experience of taking trips to other countries to understand our international connections. In addition a steady stream of results from DNA testing, newly found ancestor photos, visits to cemeteries, announcements of upcoming reunions of various families, and human interest stories that portray Dillman experiences across many generations have been reported. In the last issue (Volume 11, No. 3, Mar-May 2019) we did something new! We included Part 1 of a diary kept by one of the best known Dillmans in the U.S., Bradford, a well-established movie actor. He wrote it in 1968 while in Prague, Czechoslovakia acting in a movie, “The Bridge at Remagen”. We wanted to include it in its entirety because of how vividly it captured this experience at the height of the East-West Cold War. This is the first article in our newsletter included in multiple parts. If you have not seen Part 1 you might want to read it before Part II. This issue of our Newsletter is quite varied, as are all issues, and brought smiles to my face when I discovered the existence of “Dillman tennis shoes” and learned about the existence in Minnesota of the Daisy Dillman Band, written by Daniel Dillman, our DFA web master. Also a part of this issue is an “OOPS” written by our Newsletter editor, Phil Dillman, to correct who a previously identified “Etta Dillman” really was. This correction, illustrates in a small, but important way, one of the main accomplishments of the DFA since our founding in 2002, continuing our research to make sure our understandings of the heritage of the many family lines is accurate. Finally, I would offer a word of appreciation to German communities who have assembled records of families over multiple centuries. Last week I received a huge (18 pound, 1229 page) book from a German friend that lists the births, marriages, children, and deaths of 5791 individuals who lived in or near Eggenstein, a municipality in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, in the years 1702-1920. This book compiled by Walter August Scheidle in 2015, list Dillmanns connected to this region between the years of 1709 and 1823. Hans Georg Dillman and his wife Euphrosina, my sixth great grandparents, whose first five children were born from 1709-1718, were on this listing, a likely result of being baptized there, because the protestant church in nearby Neureut, where they resided, having been destroyed in the War of the Palatine Succession (1688-1697). (See Dillman Descendants and Ancestors, Volume 5, No. 1 for more detail). As I worked through listings in the book, I was impressed with how the coverage of more than two centuries and a very helpful index made it easy to follow marriages, name changes, and families of later generations for all residents. German books of this nature are a much appreciated source of information for all who are trying to piece together knowledge of their German ancestry.

Shoes!!! A fun novelty item spotted on Facebook recently. 13 5. Tillie Dillman and Charlie Thompson - by Phil Dillman In my obsession to locate photos of my ancestors and their siblings, one of my ggGrandfather, Frank Dillman’s, siblings had been elusive for a long time. I was able to locate and/or copy photos of most of his brothers and sisters through various cousins such as Delbert Earle Dillman (descendant of John Charles “Charlie” Dillman) and Steve Arney (descendant of William Scott Dillman). However, I couldn’t find an image of his sister, Matilda Florence Dillman. It seemed like Charlie, Tillie, and their children were living in a different town in each census and in each of the other family member’s obituaries. On a rare evening of spare time, I went onto Ancestry.com and started searching for Matilda Dillman Thompson. SURPRISE! A woman named Lisa McDougal had posted a few images, including this photo of the Charlie, Matilda, Eva Edna, Nellie, Bessie, Johnnie, Pearl “Nettie”, and niece Meryl Sutton, in front of their home, circa 1910! Also posted was the top right image of Pearl and Nellie Thompson. The bottom left image is of Eva Edna Thompson who married Marcus Royal Swedberg. The bottom right image is Jane Elizabeth Swedberg, daughter of Marcus and Eva. The inclusion of Matilda’s niece, Meryl Sutton, confused me as she was listed as the daughter of Matilda’s youngest sister, Etta Dillman. Why was she in the family photo? And, where was Etta? I had her obituary from 1945. Or, did I? (Next Page) 14 6. OOPS! Wrong Etta Dillman! - by Phil Dillman Yes, for years I had an obituary for Etta Dillman Fear from 1945 and had photos of the headstones for both Sidney and Etta Dillman Fear in the Mound Cemetery in Willow Hill, Illinois. That’s in the same vicinity as Flat Rock, Illinois where Etta was living when she wrote a letter to her sister, Eva Dillman Fisher, in April 1909. So, why wasn’t I aware that Etta had a daughter named Meryl Sutton? Because, I had the WRONG Etta Dillman! Apparently, there were two Etta Dillmans living in the same vicinity around the same time and, it turns out, they were distant cousins. The Etta Dillman that married Sidney Fear was a daughter of Marcelinus Dillman, a descendant of George Michael Dillman 1764 who was a brother of Andrew Dillman 1753, both being sons of Hans Georg Dillmann Jr 1724. Matilda’s sister, Etta Dillman born 1881 (both descendants of Andrew Dillman 1753), married Arthur E. Sutton in 1899. They had an infant daughter born in 1902 and Meryl Sutton, born 9 October 1904. The letter that she wrote to her sister, Eva Dillman Fisher, reads as follows (with added punctuation by me): “April 4, 1909, Flat Rock Ills.

  • Ordinary Heroes: Depictions of Masculinity in World War II Film a Thesis Submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in Pa
    Ordinary Heroes: Depictions of Masculinity in World War II Film A thesis submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in partial fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors with Distinction by Robert M. Dunlap May 2007 Oxford, Ohio Abstract Much work has been done investigating the historical accuracy of World War II film, but no work has been done using these films to explore social values. From a mixed film studies and historical perspective, this essay investigates movie images of American soldiers in the European Theater of Operations to analyze changing perceptions of masculinity. An examination of ten films chronologically shows a distinct change from the post-war period to the present in the depiction of American soldiers. Masculinity undergoes a marked change from the film Battleground (1949) to Band of Brothers (2001). These changes coincide with monumental shifts in American culture. Events such as the loss of the Vietnam War dramatically changed perceptions of the Second World War and the men who fought during that time period. The United States had to deal with a loss of masculinity that came with their defeat in Vietnam and that shift is reflected in these films. The soldiers depicted become more skeptical of their leadership and become more uncertain of themselves while simultaneously appearing more emotional. Over time, realistic images became acceptable and, in fact, celebrated as truthful while no less masculine. In more recent years, there is a return to the heroism of the World War II generation, with an added emotionality and dimensionality. Films reveal not only the popular opinions of the men who fought and reflect on the validity of the war, but also show contemporary views of masculinity and warfare.

  • The Rhine River Crossings by Barry W
    The Rhine River Crossings by Barry W. Fowle Each of the Allied army groups had made plans for the Rhine crossings. The emphasis of Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) planning was in the north where the Canadians and British of Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery's 21st Army Group were to be the first across, followed by the Ninth United States Army, also under Montgomery. Once Montgomery crossed, the rest of the American armies to the south, 12th Army Group under General Omar N. Bradley and 6th Army Group under General Jacob L. Devers, would cross. On 7 March 1945, all that Slegburg changed.

  • Here Were Many Mighty Works & a Great Outpouring of the Spirit So That I Prophesied and Entered Into the Kingdom Celestial
    1938 Letters • 173 [picture postcard: Angel Moroni Monument, Hill Cumorah, near Palmyra, New York]34 [postmarked Hudson, NY, 27 July 1938] Here were many mighty works & a great outpouring of the spirit so that I prophesied and entered into the Kingdom Celestial. B Walpole, New Hampshire. [2(?) September 1938] Dear Kate: Hell no. One manuscript more wouldn’t even be perceptible in the heap I’ve read through in the last two weeks. I trust the comment is full enough. I’d expand it to three-quarters of an hour at Bread Loaf but I wouldn’t say any more. The gospel accord- ing to DeVoto (Uncle Belly as the psychopathology of everyday life made the speaker of the evening call me on Tuesday night) is just this: a story is about one thing, a story is developed, a story is dramatized. It was a good conference, the best yet by a Mormon block. Primarily because there were some writers there. Theodore Strauss, Harriet Hassell, Josephine Niggly, a gent named Ford, another one named Turtellot, all Bread Loaf Fellows, were pretty good, and Strauss is going to be better than that.35 (He did “A Night at Hogwallow,” which I didn’t give a prize in the L-B novelette contest.)36 But the nicest Fellow, and one who is going to go farther than the rest of them except Strauss, is Elizabeth Davis, a very pretty child from Michigan with one of those voices, like Josephine’s in MT, whose teleology is to knock me for a row of nostalgic heartbreaks.37 Someone wrote me about a long story of hers in Good Housekeeping, called “Fourteenth Summer,” and it turned out to be damned good.

  • The Bridge at Remagen
    The Bridge at Remagen A key battle in WW2 Written by Andy Owen When Second Lieutenant Karl Timmermann woke up on the morning of 7 March 1945, he didn't know he was going to make history that day. The day before he had been made commander of A Company of of the 27th Armored Infantry Battalion of the 9th Armored Division. He was the latest of a string of replacements, thanks to the Germans. He was in Stadt Mechenheim, about ten miles west of Remagen on the west bank of the Rhine River. Remarkably, he was also less than 100 miles from the place where he was born, in Frankfurt am Main. His father had been on occupation duty in Germany following the end of the previous war and had gone over the hill, met a German girl, and had a son. After he got things straightened out with the army, Karl Timmermann's father brought his family back to Nebraska. Now the son was back in Germany as a conquerer, and the elder Timmerman's prospects for grandchildren were dim. 1 Second Lieutenant Timmermann was ordered to take his company and attack toward Remagen at a rate of ten miles per hour. This was before the days of modern roads. This was part of a military operation called Operation Lumberjack, with the goal to capture the west bank of the Rhine River and seize key German cities near the end of World War II. The First United States Army launched the operation in March 1945 to capture strategic cities in Germany and to give the Allies a foothold along the Rhine.

I knew no one named Dillman who was not a known relative. And, all 11 of us lived in Lucas County, Iowa. My father and grandfather, said they thought the family had moved to Iowa from Indiana, and maybe before that from Pennsylvania, but that was all they knew. As a 17 year old freshman at Iowa State University, I remember going to a dormitory to visit a high school friend, and being surprised when he introduced a fellow student named Dillman.
