The
Covington and Newport Pioneer Clubs were formed in the summer of 1877
and appear to have spun off an existing club in Cincinnati.
Readers may be interested in knowing that the Campbell County
Historical Society has an old poster showing members of the Cincinnati
German Pioneer club with copies available for sale. The list
below comes from a June 6, 1877 Newport Club organizational meeting and
shows the charter members. The German Pioneer Club remained in
the news until about 1917 when the United States entered World War One
against Germany at which time the clubs disappear. The information was from a photocopy of a previously
typed list. Efforts were made to copy all names exactly as shown on
the original typewritten list even if the name appears misspelled. The
reader should be aware that the original record was not available and
transcription errors are possible. Special thanks to Martha Pelfrey
for providing the photocopy of the typed list. On June 13, 1877 Mr. Daniel Wolf presided at the meeting and John Michael Dietz acted as Secretery.
An election of officers took place with the following elected:
John M. Diets, President
Dr. H. E. Gunkle, Vice President
Jacob Kreutz, Secretary
Jacob Goessler, Treasurer
Members appointed to the Executive Committee:
Frederich Weber
W. H. Wiebe
Julius Wenderoth
Henry Ritter
Herman Droste
