Descendants of Valentinus Zwilling
Generation No. 1
Valentinus Zwilling married Anne Elizabeth ?.
Village Location:
Wallenborn is a village of 568 residents in the volcanic Eifel region of Germany. It is
located in the Kreis (county) of Daun in the Regierungsbezirk (administrative district) of Trier in
the Land (state) of Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany. Thus it is on the western edge of Germany near
Luxembourg, about 6 miles southwest of Daun and 28 miles north of Trier. The local Catholic church
is St. Sebastianus in Wallenborn.
Children of Valentinus Zwilling and Anne ? are:
Anne Marie Zwilling, born 22 Oct 1724.
Anne Barbara Zwilling, born 8 Dec 1727.
Hilgeri Zwilling, born 30 Mar 1731 in
Wallenborn, Eifel, Germany.
Sebastianus Zwilling, born 9 Jun 1732.
Generation No. 2
Hilgeri Zwilling (son of
Valentinus Zwilling) was born 30 Mar 1731 in Wallenborn, Eifel, Germany. He married
Elisabeth (Theis) Eil 19 Feb 1759 in Wallenborn, Eifel, Germany, daughter of Mathiaus Eil
and Agnetha ?.
Notes for Elisabeth (Theis) Eil:
The evidence in the Wallenborn church records strongly suggests that Elisabeth Eil is
the same person as Elisabeth Theis, and that her sister, Maria Elisabetha Eil, is the same person as
Maria Elisabetha Theis.
Elisabeth Eil was married in February 1759 to Hilgeri Zwilling as part of a double
wedding; the second couple was her sister, Maria Elisabetha Eil, and Joannes Zwilling (the
relationship, if any, between Hilgeri and Joannes Zwilling is not provided). No record exists of a
marriage between an Elisabeth Theis and a Hilgeri Zwilling, nor for one between a Maria Elisabetha
Theis and a Joannes Zwilling, nonetheless both of these couples are named as parents in subsequent
birth records.
Elisabeth Theis and Hilgeri Zwilling have numerous children, starting in November 1759.
If one assumes that Elisabeth Eil is not Elisabeth Theis, then Elisabeth (Eil) and Hilgeri
Zwilling's first child (Hilgerius) is not born until February 1768, nine years after the marriage.
Further, the birth dates for the children of Elisabeth Eil and Hilgeri Zwilling fit nicely in the
gaps between children of Elisabeth Theis and Hilgeri Zwilling. Likewise, wedding-mates Maria
Elisabetha Eil and Joannes Zwilling never have children, though Maria Elisabetha Theis and Joannes
Zwilling do in the expected time frame.
The fact that all the names of the people in these couples match exactly except for the
surname of the women, that sisters (and possibly brothers) are involved, that the birth dates of
their children mesh properly, that neither Theis-Zwilling wedding is recorded though both couples
have children starting after the date of the Eil-Zwilling weddings, and that in these church records
the priest(s) somewhat frequently incorrectly recorded and later corrected the surnames of women, in
concert suggest that these women were known by two names.

Mathias probably arrived at Ellis Island on 29 Jun 1892 aboard the "Waesland" out of
Antwerp, Belgium. He claimed to be 23 years old (instead of 24) and from the town of "Hallenbor,
Germany." There is no "Hallenbor" in Germany, but this is a fairly close match to "Wallenborn."

Obituary: Requiem Mass Friday for 'Mr. Baseball' Zwilling
Bernard John Zwilling of Detroit Lakes, known widely by his nickname of "Ben," died
early Tuesday morning of a heart condition which first became evident when he suffered an attack a
couple of years ago. Mr. Zwilling was 53 years old and had spent much of his adult life playing,
following, and actively supporting baseball.
The sport was his dominating interest and he died while engaged in helping to select a
regional tournament site for the fall playoff. As commisioner of region 14B of the state
association, he was presiding at a regional meeting Monday night at the Eagles hall here when he was
stricken. He was rushed to St. Mary's hospital and died shortly after 1 a.m.
Requiem mass is to be conducted this Friday morning at 9 a.m. from the Holy Rosary
church here. Father Alphonse will officiate.
Mr. Zwilling came to Detroit Lakes in 1935 from Swanville and was district clerk for
maintenance district No. 6 of the state highway department. Except for two years in the early '40's
when the city was without a ball club, Mr. Zwilling was closely identified with the baseball team
here from 1936 until his retirement in 1952 because of failing health. During these years he served
variously as manager, business manager, secretary, and vice-president of the board.
He was so close to the baseball picture here for so many years that he came to be known
as "Mr. Baseball." A "Ben Zwilling Day" was held at Washington Park about the time he retired from
the DL club.
Mr. Zwilling was born August 20, 1901, at Swanville, Minn. He attended grade school
there and attended high school and college at Collegeville, Minnesota. He married Ruby Randolph in
Detroit Lakes on Oct. 7, 1941.
Besides his work with the baseball club here, Mr. Zwilling was active with the Eagles lodge and
served as one of its officials. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus of the Holy Rosary
church.
He is survived by his wife; mother, Mrs. M. Zwilling; one brother, Charlie of
Swanville; and two sisters, Mrs. Harold Rodahl, Milwaukee, Wis., and Mrs. Vlas Sowieja of Owens,
Wis. The West Funeral Home has charge of funeral arrangements.
Katherine Zwilling, born about 1903 in Minnesota and died 23 Apr 1907
in Morrison Co, MN.
Agnes Zwilling, born 1906 and died 1951-1978. She married Harold
Rodahl, born 22 Mar 1907 and died Oct 1974 in Wisconsin.
Nicholas Zwilling (son of
Matthias Zwilling) was born 7 May 1870 in Wallenborn, Eifel, Germany, and died 8 Jul 1955 in
Watkins, MN. He married Clara Fruth 25 Oct 1897 in Collegeville Twp, Stearns Co, MN, daughter
of John Fruth and Johanna Hundzek. She was born 8 Jun 1877 in St. Wendel Twp, Stearns
Co, MN, and died 16 Aug 1959 in Watkins, MN.

MAY THE ANGELS LEAD HER INTO PARADISE
Sister Berchmans (Elizabeth) Zwilling, 91, died peacefully at St. Scholastica Convent
at 6:20 a.m. on Thursday, August 17, 1995. Sister was born in Morris, MN, on January 7, 1904, the
fourth child of Nick and Clara (Fruth) Zwilling. The family moved to Collegeville where Sister
attended the district school. Her decision at age 18 to enter St. Benedict's Convent was the result
of contrasting the wealth of liturgical prayer that she observed at St. John's Abbey with the
scarcity of such prayer in rural parishes. Sister attended St. Benedict's Academy, entered the
novitiate in 1925, and professed vows on July 11, 1929. Sister Marie, her younger sister, professed
vows the same day.
Sister Berchmans regarded her life as one of exceptional receiving that enabled
wholehearted giving. From the novitiate she was assigned to Wadena where she spent 17 happy years
teaching fifth and sixth grades and directed altar boys. During summers she attended the College of
St. Benedict and teacher's colleges in Moorhead and St. Cloud. In 1943 she returned to St.
Benedict's to attend college and assist the director of postulants. On receiving the B.A. degree in
English in 1944, she was delighted to enroll in the first graduate school of theology for women, St.
Mary's, Notre Dame. She received her Ph.D. degree in theology in 1946. Then for six years she faced
the challenge of teaching religion to release time classes from Tech H.S., St. Cloud, and Cathedral
H.S. religion classes for seven years. At Cathedral Convent she served as Superior. Then, from 1959
to 1993, with the exception of a year at St. Augustine's, St. Cloud, Sister Berchmans lived at St.
Benedict's. She taught theology at the College of St. Benedict and at St Cloud Hospital School of
Nursing. Participating in a five-year program of summer sessions at Loyola U. on theology increased
her eagerness to teach Christianity as a unified whole. Sister Berchmans also helped to train lay
religion teachers in parishes and taught courses at St. John's Seminary. In retirement she assisted
with convent administration and served as a tour guide.
Sister is survived by her Benedictine community; two brothers, Celestine, Waite Park;
and Joseph, Avon; four sisters, Margaret Hoeschen, Watkins; Sister Marie; O.S.B., St. Joseph;
Theresa Lambert, Edina; and Helen Middendorf, Freeport. Three brothers and one sister preceded her
in death.
Both Sister Berchmans' life and her teachings were grounded in her openness to the
presence of Christ in herself, in others and everywhere. We rejoice that she has been received into
the fullness of Christ's presence.

Notes for Matthias Pflueger:
-- From: Die Amerika-Auswanderung aus dem Landkreise Daun, Mergen, entry 829
(The America emigration from the county Daun,
Mergen)
Mathias Pflueger, born July 18, 1876 petitioned for a release from citizenship. Here is
a report of the District Magistrate, dated 24 July, 1893: "In the matter of the petition of Mathias
Pflueger of Wallenborn for the granting of a release certificate, I would point out that his
half-brother, Mathias Zwilling, who was given a free pass by Pflueger, was convicted of desertion by
a court-martial on March 1, 1893. Likewise, another half-brother, Nicholaus Zwilling, who was
conscripted last fall by the Infantry, has deserted. Therefore it is to be suspected that Mathias
Pflueger wishes the release solely to dodge his Military Service obligations."
The government of the Trier Administrative District has imparted the following
communication to Johann Pflueger in Wallenborn: "Your alleged minor son Mathias Pflueger, who was
born on July 18, 1876, and has therefore already reached his 17th year, can thus be issued a release
from Prussian citizenship only if he furnishes a certificate from the Military Recruiting Commission
to the effect that he is not seeking the release solely to evade service in either the standing Army
or in the fleet. Since the Commission has refused to issue such a certificate, therefore I am not in
a position to make out the release papers."
So, has the petitioner emigrated illegally?
From the passenger record for Math Pflueger in the online Ellis Island records: He arrived in
New York City on the SS Westernland on August 15, 1893 from Antwerp, listed as steerage passenger
527. The info in the record is:

Notes for Anne Kunkel:
The St. Cloud Photo News (morning edition) of December 7, 1964 did a story about
Anna. Originally from New York City, Anna's mother died and her father remarried. His new wife did
not want any girls. Anna was sent to the New York Foundling Home. Her sister was older and was sent
out to work and had quit school while in 5th grade. When Anna was 5 years old, between 300 and 400
"orphan" children were put on a train to find new homes. Some children were as young as two months
old. Each had a little bag with a tin cup, plate, fork and spoon. The train traveled into Canada and
then into Minnesota. The train stopped at larger cities and people would come and pick out children
to adopt. The Kunkel family had only one daughter and chose to adopt Anna. When they adopted Anna,
the family spoke only German and Anna spoke only English. The family welcomed Anna with a new doll.
They had quite a time of it. When she was 26 years old, Anna found her natural sister. The story in
the St. Cloud Photo News resulted from a reunion of the train children that was held in St. Cloud.
As many as 35,000 children were placed in new homes via the "Orphan Trains". The trains
were the idea of Methodist Minister Charles Loring Brace, founder of the Children's Aide Society of
New York. Some children found themselves riding the train more than once. Janet Liebl wrote a book
entitled "Ties That Bind, the Orphan Train Story in Minnesota".
Adoption: St. Augusta, MN
Parents: Anna's birth parents were Andrew and Mary Gaydos.

Notes for Donald John Pflueger:
Perseverance Pays Off, by Sheila Rausch, OSB
Why would a talented man with a good job take a substantial paycut to go and work
for the nuns, and stay for 30 years? It wasn't out of love for "the cloth" but Don Pflueger now
thinks it was a good choice: "Thirty years is a long time, but it went by quickly."
Don had worked in building construction in this area for 10 years. The pay was
good for 1971 ($7.55 per hour), but there were no benefits. Actually, he admits, he had been laid
off and was looking around the Saint Ben's campus when a sister referred him to Jim Stagner, who
said, "Yes, we need a painter."
Although the pay was much lower, "They told me of the benefits, including college tuition. But we
were just married and had no kids, so that went in one ear and out the other. For a while I thought
about going back to construction." But now he's glad he stayed. Don could not foresee that he and
his wife Rose Ann would have three daughters (Laura, Jennifer, and Joyce), all of whom would
graduate from the College of Saint Benedict. Obviously the tuition remission paid off. Other
benefits included health care and vacations.
Don also stuck it out because of the good working conditions. "It's fun to work
here. There's lots of variety, and I like the people I work with -- both the men and the sisters."
Although he was hired to do painting, varnishing and staining, and really enjoys that, he's done
lots of other maintenance, from changing light bulbs to digging graves, which is now done the easy
way -- with a back hoe. Was it hard to work for women? No, says Don, all the sister supervisors
(plant and grounds managers) were "nice to work with and good to me."
Don is a Stearns County native and has lived here all his life. Home is a small
hobby farm about six and one-half miles north of St. Joseph. Retirement should come in about two and
one-half years or so. After that he would like to do volunteer work. One experience he would like to
repeat is travel. In March of 2001 he and Rose Ann took a Caribbean cruise, best described as "fun."
The kindness and prayers the sisters have given on many occasions are greatly
appreciated, as well as the "treats" for some of the work that he has done for individual sisters.
Although his mind "went blank" when he was asked to recall particularly funny or embarrassing
events, one at least surprised him. While painting some chairs for the college, using oil paint
which "drips a lot," he put a canvas under the chairs to catch the drips and protect the platform.
Seeing the multicolored canvas that resulted, Albert Schindler thought it was "a pretty nice
painting." Very likely the artistic Albert saw the resemblance to the work of Jackson Pollock. He
framed the painting and it hung in the paint shop for 28 years. When it was brought out for
demonstration at the awards ceremony this past winter, when Don received his 30-year award, all he
could say was "Oh, my gosh!" His surprise removed any brilliant or inspiring thoughts he might have
uttered for posterity.
