William E. Bletsch
Wm. E. Bletsch, lay delegate of the Chicago
German Conference, was on 13 of September 1866 in Allegheny, Pa. born.
His father was at that time a German Methodist preacher. His finishing
education he received in the public school in Covington, Ky. and since
1888, he became a member of the Methodist Church. From 1888 to 1891 he
was a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in Cincinnati and here he
laid the foundation for his occupational development. Since 1891, he was
a partner in the firm of "Pilker and Bletsch" in Chicago. A branch firm
is to be found in Cincinnati. He was a member of the Centennial Congregation
in Chicago and a great interest in the advancement of the kingdom of God
in his day.

L. Konz, wife of the Lutheran Minister in Marlin and a good friend of Laura
B. Kendrick.)
A copy of each of these written in German and the translation was sent
to my father by his Aunt Laura. |
