  • Caroline Weldon“ (Künstlername)
    Kleinbasel, die Geburtsstätte einer phänomenalen Frau „Caroline Weldon“ (Künstlername) Caroline Weldon starb in ihrer bescheidenen Wohnung, alleine und vergessen am 15. März 1921. Todesursache waren Verbrennungen dritten Grades an ihrem Gesicht und Körper (Zimmerbrand). Am 4. Dezember 1844 ist Susanna Carolina Faesch als drittes und jüngstes Kind geboren, und verbrachte ihre ersten Jahre in Kleinbasel (Nordwest-Schweiz). Ihr Vater war Johann Lukas Faesch, ihre Mutter, als Anna Maria Barbara Marti geboren. Der Vater war Söldneroffizier in französischen Kriegsdiensten (laut Wikipedia). Wiesenbannwart, schreibt Thomas Brunnschweiler* 2017. *Thomas Brunnschweiler, *1954 ist ein freischaffender Schweizer Schriftsteller und Journalist. Er plant einen Roman über das Leben von Caroline Weldon. Der Reinacher wundert sich noch immer, dass es so lange dauerte, bis ihre wahre Herkunft ans Tageslicht kam. Bannwart ist die im alemannischen Sprachraum verbreitete Bezeichnung für einen Flur-, Wald- oder Rebhüter, also eine offizielle Aufsichtsperson im ländlichen Bereich. Vier Jahre nach Susanna’s Geburt verliebte sich die Mutter in den in Basel im Exil lebenden deutschen Revolutionär Karl Heinrich Valentiny. 1849 folgte die Scheidung der Eltern, wobei Valentiny 1850 Basel verließ und nach Amerika emigrierte, wo er eine Arztpraxis im New Yorker Stadtteil Brooklyn eröffnete und betrieb. Anna Maria Barbara folgte ihm 1852, in Begleitung ihrer jüngsten Tochter, Caroline, und heiratete Valentiny. Caroline wurde in New York ausgebildet, sie zeigte großes Talent für Sprachen und auch für Kunst. Sie wurde auch stark von ihrem intellektuellen Stiefvater beeinflusst. 1865 kam Bernhard Claudius Schlatter, ein junger, aus Schaffhausen in der Schweiz gebürtiger Arzt, als Gast in das Haus von Valentiny. Er fand Gefallen an Caroline, inzwischen 21 Jahre alt, und hielt um ihre Hand an, und es folgte die Heirat am 30.

I need to extend a huge thank you to my family, friends, and academic mentors. This thesis would never have come to fruition without your unending support. First, I need to acknowledge the guidance from God and His unending love for me. I could not have finished this project without the strength I received from Him. If you do not know the peace and love of God, I would like to present the Roman Road to Salvation to you. First, acknowledge that you and I are both sinners (Romans 3:23). Second, realize that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Third, understand that Jesus paid the price of our sins on the cross (Romans 5:8). Fourth, confess that you are a sinner and believe in your heart that Jesus is God (Romans 10:9-10). Finally, call on the Lord for salvation and get saved (Romans 10:13). If you ever have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me or your local church.
