Oldt, Published 1911 by Goodspeed historical association in Chicago. https://archive.org/stream/cu31924028913965#page/n5/mode/2up With the passing of Bernard Holscher, Sr., March 6, 1892, Dubuque county lost one of her best and most deserving citizens and a man who bore the respect and esteem of all who knew him. He was born at Telgte, Prussian province of Westphalia, Germany, April 30, 1830, and was there educated and reared to manhood. When old enough he enlisted in the Prussian army, serving his country a number of years, and on May 5, 1857, left Bremer Harbor for the United States, with a view to making this country his future home. He landed at Baltimore, June 29, 1857, and on July 7 of the same year came to Dyersville, Dubuque, county, Iowa. For a few months he was employed in a local lumber yard, and on January 1, 1858, in partnership with his brother, Henry Holscher, embarked in mercantile pursuits. This association continued until the death of the brother, February 21, 1883, and Mr. Holscher then continued the business alone until about 1890, at which time he disposed of his interests to his son-in-law, Joseph Pilmaier. He continued active business operations, however, dealing in grain until within a few weeks of his death. Upon the organization of the German State Bank at Dyersville, in 1886, Mr. Holscher was elected to the position of president by the stockholders, and so popular was the choice and so well did he perform his duties that the head of the institution never changed. On February 1, 1859, he was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Stoeckel, who yet survives him. She was born at Zeinrierth, November 15, 1838, the daughter of Joseph and Margaret Stoeckel, and received her education in the public schools at New Vienna, Iowa. To her marriage with Mr. Holscher seven children were born, as follows: Bernard H. and Anna M., both dying in infancy; Joseph, born October 15, 1861, died June 4, 1886; Katherine, wife of Joseph Pilmaier, she dying May 27, 1887, aged twenty years; Elizabeth B., widow of Joseph Pilmaier, she dying September 3, 1891, aged twenty-two years, the mother of one daughter, Bertha, born May 7, 1889; Annie, wife of Henry Goerdt; and John, capitalist, who married Anna Kortenkamp, a niece of the first priest at Dyersville. When death halted the career of Mr. Holscher he was but sixty-two years of age, but he did much toward the growth and development of Dubuque county, and his memory will long linger in the hearts of his many friends and neighbors.
