Misc. Notes
William Winterer emigrated from Baden, Germany to the port of Philadelphia in early 1846. ®11995 His Declaration of Intent dated 25 June 1846 and his Oath of Allegiance dated 12 August 1851 in Philadelphia made him a naturalized citizen. ®11996 His son William A. was born in 1848. In September 1851 William Winterer made an urgent application for a passport as he expected to sail for Europe in several days (why?). He asked that the passport be sent to William Winterer, care of George Ercty (sp?) at 288 North Third Street Philadelphia. He describes himself as age 36, 5 feet 8 inches, broad forehead, brown eyes, small nose, small mouth, round chin, black hair, healthy complexion, face broad and round. (Mathias Winterer, a 29 year old farmer from Baden departed from Le Havre, France, 9 May 1854, and arrived alone in New York on 19 June 1854 on the ship Invanta. ®11997 On the 1874 Philadelphia city directory Matthew is a cabinetmaker who lived at 1307 Buttonwood. The only other Winterer listed in Philadelphia in 1874 is William.) ®11998 William applied for a second passport to visit Germany on 15 July 1857 (why?) ®11999 On 1 June 1860 William Winterer, age 45, born in Baden in 1815 lived in the Eleventh Ward of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ®12000 From 1862 to 1864 William A. Winterer, Sr. and William A. Winterer. Jr. held Class B wholesale and retail liquor licenses at 475 North Third, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with tax due in 1862 of $120. In 1864 and 1865 Wm. Winterer alone held the license for imported spirits at 475 North Third. ®12001 In 1867 William Winterer, Sr. operated a hotel at 475 North Third Street in Philadelphia. William A. Winterer, Jr., a clerk, lived at the same address. ®12002 On 1 June 1870 Wm. Winterer, 55, lived in the 11th Ward of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with Theresa, 55, Wm. A., 2?, and Celestina Winterer, 2?. Living with them in the hotel were Chas. Lang, 26, Wm. Stahle, 31, Paul Blouk?, 27, and Herm Nessenthele?, 14. ®12003 William Winterer, age 56, born about 1815 in Germany died on 24 July 1871 and was buried 28 Jul 1871 in Philadelphia’s New Cathedral Cemetery Section H, Range 8, Number 27 (Note: I searched this cemetery on Findagrave.com and find nobody named Winterer. Perhaps his headstone is missing). ®12004 He was married, a tavern keeper and lived at 475 North 3rd Street in Philadelphia. ®12005 In the 1874 Philadelphia city directory, only Theresa and William A. Winterer are listed living at 475 North Third and appear to be partner’s in William Winterer’s Son and Co. at Noble and North Third. ®11998 The only other Winterer listed in the 1874 Philadelphia city directory is a cabinetmaker, Matthew who lived at 1307 Buttonwood. ®11998
