Early cemetery burial practices involved wooden crosses that
were periodically collected and burned in a special church ceremony, after the passage of a number of years in the honored Herbstein tradition.
These burial site crosses were eventually replaced by tombstone slabs, which looked very drab. The translator felt that the stones should have been designed by artisans, who should have been hired for their talents as stone masons.
Credits for this genealogy compiled below belong to: Heinrick Staubach, a brother of Valentin Staubach, who co-authored, long in correspondence with Charles Peter Staubach..my adopted grandfather. Other bits of information are contributions sent through Heinrick Staubach by the widow of Emil Karl Staubach. In looking over the many family files, Arnold Baldwin Staubach, Charles P. Staubach's eldest son, had typed up his father's notes in earlier years. Whereas, Charles N. Staubach, Charles P. Staubach's youngest son, Professor of Romance Languages & Linguistic Studies: reviewed, proofread, updated, varified and shaped this data after visits to Herbstein and Fulda, Germany.
OLD NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS OF HERBSTEIN
TRAUD, RUHL & SCHNEIDER are commonly quoted surnames listed among other old family names found in the town records at Herbstein, Germany. It has been said through the many generations, that the surname STAUBBACH originated in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, in ancient times. Earlier ancestors moved into the Herbstein area and later into Fulda, Germany, as well as. It's common knowledge, that family members, representatives of 5 generations, visited Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. Most have been to Fulda, Germany. This writer has been to Herbstein, also.
The Staubbach Falls is seen from the edge of the village at Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. It's one of the 70 glacially fed falls seen throughout the valley. It is very close to the edge of town with a hole worn through some 30 meters down from the top of the extremely high cliffs.
The strongly abrasive rush of water carries with it loosened particles of limestone dust. The high humidity spray from this Falls, when moving at full force, forms a fan-shaped glistening sparkly milky mist, that cascades magestically to the valley floor below. There are man-made channels, carrying the limestone laden water through the village and out beyond its boundries. On the day we arrived the humidity was quite high. As we neared Lauterbrunnen by rail there appeared to be a three foot high and wide milky sparkling mist enveloping the entire bank of this meandering brook for miles.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,"Song of Spirits on the Waters"
Goethe wrote this on one of several visits into the Lauterbrunnen valley.

Dann st�ubt er lieblich
In Wolkenwellen
Zum glatten Fels,
Und leicht empfangen
Wallt er verschleiernd,
Leisrauschend

Im flachen Bette
Schleicht er das Wiesental hin,
Und in dem glatten See

STAUBACH FAMILY GENEALOGY
This genealogy is dedicated to my adopted Grandfather, Charles P. Staubach. His avid interest, concentrated efforts as well as his fascination with genealogy, compelled him to gather a wealth of data that was kept, revised and brought forward through several generations with the help of his sons, Arnold Baldwin Staubach and Charles Neff Staubach. Today's current computerized version (1999) is proudly presented by his adopted granddaughter:

NOTE: Johann Heinrich Staubach, Sr, is focused on as the HEAD OF OUR CLAN and Johann Georg Staubach, his son, begins our branch as we know it. It is likely that through him . . going further back one or more of the above early listed Staubachs of the Herbstein Church memorials are going to be related. We focus on our recorded STAUBACH FAMILY BRANCH, beginning with Johann Georg Staubach of Herbstein, and grandfather of Baldwin Staubach.

Johann Georg Staubach is the father of Baldwin in the baptismal records and Herbstein Church memorials. He is recorded as the grandson of Johann Heinrich Staubach. Occupationally, Weavers & Tanners were important trades in Herbstein in his day.
One or more of the Staubachs, whose memorial records are in the church or churchyard at the old Herbstein Church (Herbsteiner Pfarrkirche), earlier herein described, might be among Johann Georg's more remote ancestors. A future visit to Herbstein &/or a comprehensive study of church records may supply data of the dates of his birth; marriage; death and occupation. It may reveal additional data regarding other children that he may have had in addition to his authenticated son Eberhardt and establish the ancestry of his wife, Anna Maria Traud.
Johann Georg is the father of Eberhard Staubach 1810-1895 of Herbstein, Germany, who was father of Baldwin Staubach, as listed in records in the old Herbstein Church. These records were copied and sent in 1948 by the most Reverend Father Armand Karl Staubach of Herbstein and translated by Charles N. Staubach, great-great- great grandson of Johann Heinrich Staubach, the elder.
Johann Georg Staubach married Anna Maria Traud (dates unknown), but we are informed that one of Anna Maria's brothers, probably descended from Ferdinand Traud, born in Europe prior to 1840, came to New York City, where he had managed a music store.
Ferdinand is the father of Alexander Baldwin Traud, born in the United States about 1860 and died in 1931 at the age of 71. He survived his probable, more or less, distant cousin, our Baldwin Staubach, who was born in 1840 and died in 1926. Alexander had maintained personal and business contacts.
Know for having referred to each other as "cousin", Alexander Traud had manufactured machine tools in his plant in Newark, NJ, while Baldwin Staubach had his iron foundry and machine shop in New York City.
Baldwin Staubach, upon retirement from business, stored many of his manufactured products and machine repair parts in the plant of Traud Tool Company in Newark, visiting there from time to time to sort out and ship machines and parts when ordered by former customers.
The Traud tool Company was still in 1954 managed by the sons of Alexander Baldwin Traud.

The Traud family home in 1949 was located at 693 Ridge Street in Newark, New Jersey and their summer home was located in Sea Girt, New Jersey. The location of their plant was at 124 Polk Street, Newark, New Jersey. As to the children of Johann Georg Staubach and his wife Anna Maria Traud, at this time there is knowledge of his son Eberhard 1810-1895. There may have been a son Christof, judging by the fact that Eberhard's son Christof appears in the record as "Christoph Staubach II".

Baldwin Staubach 1921 in Glen Ridge,
New Jersey by Grandson, Charles N.Staubach
Eventually, he accumulated enough savings to buy a 300 acre farm. He bought out a local machinery manufacturing factory and met all the payments from selling by mail through the New York City sales rooms. He bought a New York iron foundry, warehouse and machine shop and managed to combine his Fishkill, New York plant to the one in New York City. Baldwin and Elise Staubach moved their home and the factory to New York City in 1880. They moved to Pocantico Hills, NY, renting until about 1884. His efforts to join these plants proved to be a well paying success year after year. He bought a handsome home in Yorkville in 1884 and tore down the New York City foundry. He then replaced it with revenue producing tenement houses.
He began leasing the warehouse as well as machine shop after the expiration of his patents. He then invested in cotton seed mill operations in Texas and sold the New York home in 1891 to move to a grand country home in Pocantico Hills on a 7 & 1/2 acre plot in Westchester County, overlooking the Hudson River. They spent the greater part of each of the next 7 years in Texas to ensure their successful operations. While there they had dealt with the final disposition of his interests in the mill operations there.
By the time Baldwin retired, at an early age, well established financially, he made many trips over the remaining years to the old town in Europe in which he was born. Spending his time as a widower in his later years at the home of a daughter, he made frequent visits, also, to the homes of his other well established children. He lived to age eighty-six, dying in 1926. At that time the Pocantico Hills place was sold to a near neighbor, John D. Rockefeller, Sr.
Baldwin had seven children. Three died in early childhood. The rest survived to a considerable age. All these children married and set up their own households. He was ever ready to aid them all financially in any early emergencies or investments in their more or less permanent homes. Right from the start he had saved, invested and handled his own finances and enterprises, usually in a masterly fashion. He was, at one and the same time, a kindly and an exacting personality. Baldwin was buried next to wife in Fishkill, NY.
In a copy of his baptismal record that Baldwin obtained from the Herbstein Church 1857, prior for his leaving for America, he was described as the 2nd child and 2nd son of Eberhard Staubach, citizen weaver of the town. His mother was referred to as the 1st wife, Agatha, born Schneider, just to clarify that Eberhard had no previous marriages. Agatha lived for 34 years. Eberhard was sixty-four years old at the time of her death.

His father, Eberhard, lived with him in his later years and a son of this Reinhard, named "Josef", was living at Bahnhofstrsse, Herbstein, in 1948, as a widower with 4 sons and a daughter. It was possibly Gotthard Josef who sent some money to the parents of Heinrich Staubach of Fulda, mentioned in his correspondence of September 1955.
Gotthard went to America and was living at # 4 Garland Court, Sheepheads Bay, Brooklyn, NY, his having married 12-1-1901 in N. Y. C., Else Marie Tiedemann, a daughter of Jurken Tiedemann and Maria Elsie Bartenhagen.

Eberhard Staubach, citizen weaver of the town. His mother was referred to as the first wife, Agatha, born Schneider, just to clarify that Eberhard had no previous marriages. Agatha lived for 34 years. Eberhard was sixty-four years old at the time of her death and did not marry again.
Eberhard Staubach was born in Hessen, Herbstein, Grand Duchy, Hessen 1866, absorbed by Germany, province, Hessen Nassau. The records of the old church in Herbstein, in the present West Germany copied in 1948 by the late Rev. Amand Karl Staubach, retired, of Herbstein, were sent to Charles P. Staubach by Heinrich Staubach of Fulda on October 8, 1948, showing Eberhard Staubach, as a linen weaver and substantial citizen. He was the son of Johann Georg Staubach and his wife Anna Maria, nee Traud.
Eberhard's son Baldwin was the only son to ever go to America, this in 1857, As Baldwin re-visited his boyhood home many times in those after years, beginning with 1889, if not earlier. So Eberhardt had the opportunity to see at first hand how this son had developed and made a success of his life. Unfortunately, Baldwin's mother died in 1875, some years before this son was in a position to begin his voyages back home and had to depend on letters for word of his continued progress.
On one of his visits Baldwin was accompanied by his daughter, Wilhelmina Agatha. She described this experience in a letter she wrote in 1942.
"In 1889 I was in Herbstein with my father and in my grandfather Staubach's home. He was, at 79, a wizened old man who peered out at me under shaggy brows and talked in a small voice. A large weaving or spinning machine occupied one corner of the rather square room.
Someone climbed up to the top of a cupboard and drew down some precious blocks of sugar for my coffee. I think, there was a brother Reinhard there, too. Herbstein was a cobblestone paved village with a central pump. Water was running down the inclined street. We slept at some public house, where I had a very narrow bed against a wall and a mattress filled with straw!"
At Cassell, on the Rhine, I tried to have father look up mom's past history and he did try some, but found it too difficult a job."
In other letters posted and dated at Yonkers New York, June 4, 1923, Baldwin Staubach stated that he had learned of the death of his last brother in Herbstein, April 11th, at age 84 and he had sent along money for a mass for this brother. He stated then that he was still well, but had given up his home and was living with his daughter, Wilhelmena. That he was 83, so he could no longer take "big jumps".
In 1958 Charles N. Staubach learned that Rev. Armand Staubach was a brother of Josef and one of the sons of Reinhard. So both were first cousins of Charles Peter Staubach.
A long letter, written in English, had been sent to Rev. Armand Staubach in Herbstein, January 19, 1949. A copy had been sent to Heinrich Staubach in Fulda, suggesting he might translate it and send a copy along to Herbstein. Hendrich had intended to make another trip to Herbstein, when he learned of failing conditions of health.
A beautiful photo was received by Charles Neff Staubach of the village of Herbstein and a note, dated December 20, 1949, reading " I am very pleased with your good wishes". I cannot give you reply to your letter yet, though I wrote to Herr Professor in Ann Arbor. I have been sick and have to be very careful for myself in my old age. Best regards, Fhr A. Staubach."
Baldwin Is Understood To Have Erected,
As A Donation To The Place Of His Birth,
A Fountain In The Public Square.
The Kubel family of that town and possibly
some descendants of past Staubachs there,
would be a possible avenue for further research.

This is a consolidation & condensation of notes made by CPS up to 1953.
Subsequently the story is based on reminiscences by his sons.
Charles Peter Staubach was born 13-11-1870 at Fishkill Village, Dutchess County, New York, in a brick building on Main St.still standing in 1965. He was the 5th child and 4th son of Baldwin and Elise Schwab Staubach, who became the eldest living son in a bit more than 3 months, due to the childhood deaths of three older brothers.
He attended primary school in Fishkill, New York, until his family moved permanently to New York City (NYC) 1880, except for a brief period in 1878 in Hoboken, New Jersey, where the family lived on Garden Street, while his father negotiated for removal of the family business from Fishkill to NYC. In 1884 CPS had graduated from Grammar School #70, NYC. In 1887 he completed a 3 year mechanical-commercial course at City College of New York, on 23rd Street & Lexington Avenue.
At CCNY he served terms as Vice President and President. Later he served as President of its Course Graduate Association. During these years he worked afternoons, Saturdays and holidays in the family iron foundry and machine works at East 12th Street and Avenue C in New York City. He later attended evening courses in accounting at the Yorkville Y.M.C.A.
He lived with his parents in New York and after their removal to Pocantico Hills in 1891 until 1892, when, due to the hardships of commuting daily between NYC and Pocantico Hills, he returned to the city and roomed with the Lathrops at 340 51st Street until his marriage in 1897.
Although, he was christened in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Allphonsus on West Broadway, NYC, on 27-2-1872, he attended the Dutch Reformed Church Sunday School in Fishkill and later, in NYC the Prospect Hill Reformed Church and Sunday School (Yorkville), the Episcopal Church of the Beloved Disciple (Manhattan), where he was confirmed by the Rt. Reverend Henry Potter, Bishop of New York and the Episcopal Church of St. Mary's (the Bronx), where he was a member of the choir. He remained a life-long Episcopalian.
Following his graduation from City College in 1887, CPS devoted full-time to various capacities to the family business until its liquidation, as told earlier in the biography of his father, Baldwin Staubach. After a brief period as assistant manager of the New York City Show Rooms of the Stover Mfg. Co., Freeport, Ohio, Phoenix bicycles, in June 1896 he joined the sports writing staff of the New York Evening Telegram, as later more fully recounted.
Charles P. Staubach, 1898, 1st President
Of The Century Road Club Association
Charles P. Staubach 1770-1966
Soon after returning to the city in 1892 CPS bought his first bicycle. He joined the Riverside Wheelmen initially and later became captain of the old Manhattan Bicycle Club. He was New York State Centurion of the Century Road of America and then was one of the organizers of its successor, the Century Road Club Association and was, for several years, its National President. He became life member # 1 of the Association. CRS had a measure of success in track racing, but more in road events, such as the famous Irvington-Millburn Annual 25 Mile Handicap Races in New Jersey and the 1892 one hundred mile race from Philadelphia to Newark. He was the winner, riding from "scratch", of ten mile handicap races on the Elizabeth-Canford and Rahway-Elizabeth courses in New Jersey. In 1895 he established a two hundred mile inter-city round trip record of 19 hours, 42 minutes between the city halls of New York and Philadelphia, and in the year covered 10,066 miles of actual road riding over the miserable roads. As a relay rider, he even helped to carry messages from the Mayor of Chicago to the Mayor of new York. At another time he carried messages from the Mayor of New York to the Mayor of Boston.
In the "Gay Nineties" and for many years thereafter and until automobiles began monopolizing city streets and country roads, "century runs" were very popular. Organized road event were then sponsored by individual bike clubs and were opened to all who wished to take part. In each, a selected one hundred mile course had to be covered within twelve hours in divisions moving behind regulated pace, making scheduled stops along the way. There was a standard entry fee as well as a deposit payable at the finish for the century medal which each successful rider would receive in due time. CPS was in demand to serve as the sash-adorned captain or chief pacemaker of most such events. By 1901 he had completed one hundred such rides a "Century of Centuries" in the lot were a few "Double Centuries" of two hundred miles in one day, and also one run of three hundred miles alone, but officially checked in at key points along the way.
In this process CPS acquired scores of century medals of varied dates and designs. Also, as a member of the Century Road Club of America and the Century Road Club Association, he received some individual gold bars covering all century runs made, these then forming a long string attached to the gold club emblem. This he eventually turned over to his wife, Edith, who had them melted down and the pure gold used for some particular personal purpose. For a number of years, athletic games that included one or two cycle races were conducted, mostly in National Guard Armories, by military, athletic and cycling organizations, thereby found him to have accumulated a fair collection of variegated badges. In 2899 the National Cycling Association appointed him the Official Handicapper for such events taking place in New York and New Jersey.
On Saturday June 1896 the New York Evening Telegram had its first mammoth bicycle parade on a part of upper Broadway and the full length both ways of Riverside Drive. CPS headed this as the grand Marshal awheel in his National Guard uniform, with a staff of military officers selected from the various regiments other the New York National Guard. This even was repeated in June 1897 when he was again grand Marshal. Such parades were intended to be annual events, but the Spanish - American War on 1896 caused the postponement that became permanent. On the Monday following the 1896 parade the editor of the telegram offered CPS an appointment to join the paper's sports staff, to run a column of his own throughout the year in addition to other sports assignments. His acceptance terminated the Phoenix bicycle connection. He had been previously doing the publicity on his own time, in behalf of the club sponsored century runs and bicycle racing that were involved in athletic games. This connection with the Telegram lasted some 3 years well into 1899, broken meanwhile only by United States military service in 1898. As time went on, he handled not only cycling news, comment and events, but other sports as well, including baseball at the New York Polo Grounds for the afternoon play by play editions, when the call came for volunteers for service in the Spanish - American War.
CPS was a member of the New York National Guard for 10 years from 1893 to 1903. On 12-5-1893 he enlisted as a private in the 8th Regiment, Company C, at its armory at Park Avenue & 92nd street in NYC. He became a corporal on 5 July, 1893 and then a staff sergeant on 22-12-1893 when the regiment was temporarily reduced to a 4 Company battalion. He became battalion commissary sergeant on 29-3-1895 and was requested to assist in the organization of 4 new companies to be added to restore the regimental status. On 29-11-1895 he was commissioned as captain of the new Company E, the first mounted cycle military unit in the country. Retaining this rank, he was transferred to regimental staff duties as inspector of small arms practice on 9-4-1897 and as regimental commissary on 28-3-1898.
In the midst of these military and cycling activities CPS managed to take time out to be married in New York City on 10-11-1897 to Edith Arnold. On the evening of 25-2-1872, while still commuting to the city from Pocantico Hills, he first met Edith, who had the leading part in an amateur play at Tarrytown Music Hall. Edith's mother, Francis Augusta DuBois Arnold, had died in 1878 and her father, George Washington Arnold, had never remarried and had no settled home.
During their childhood years Edith and her brother Cyrus were at school or boarded with friends. George Arnold, when not living at the Craftsman Club (Masonic Veterans) in NYC, would stay with his sister Mary Bishop in North Tarrytown, commuting to his business in the city. At the time of their first meeting, Edith had been visiting her Aunt Mary as well. Later she visited at the home of Russell Johnson in NYC. Mr. Johnson was a business associate of her father. Later she lived a while with Mrs. Carrie Baldwin, who was a girlhood friend of her mother in Arlington, New Jersey. Lastly, Edith took up housekeeping with her father in the city. At all these places CPS was an assiduous caller and a welcome companion. Eventually on a Sunday evening in the spring of 1897, CPS proposed and on the following Thursday evening was accepted.
Shortly afterward Baldwin Staubach, home from his business activities in Texas, met George Arnold at a "get acquainted" dinner. As CPS said in his notes, "They got along fine". During the following summer CPS and Edith visited the many Arnold cousins in the New York area; the Lockwoods in White Plains; the St. Johns in Stamford: the Lounsbury's in Darien, and so on. In later years after his retirement at the end of 1929 CPS spent considerable time in genealogy research on the Arnold - DuBois family lines. The results of this work are in several volumes of which history and the biography and antecedents of Baldwin Staubach are a part. Included also are biographies of George Washington Arnold; Edith's older brother Cyrus Morgan Arnold and of Edith Arnold herself prior to her marriage, as well as considerable material on her mother's DuBois family.
The wedding of Charles P. Staubach and Edith Arnold on Thursday, 1-11-1897 was a large affair with an attendance that completely filled Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in NYC at Lenox Avenue and 122nd Street. The minister was the Reverend Dr. Bridgman: Sally Seward was maid-of-honor; Lester Bond was best man. Captains Edward Donnelly, Eugene Kelly Austin and Ambrose Lock, all of the 8th Regiment and Otto F. Reese were the ushers. Following the ceremony was a reception at the home of Edith's aunt, Mary Jane DuBois MeLean. at 133rd Street near Fifth Avenue. Bride and groom took the midnight train to Boston, spending the weekend at the Parker House. They visited many historical landmarks, had one evening at the theater and another at dinner in the Newton house of a long time friend and business agent of Baldwin Staubach. Returning to New York on the Sunday night boat of the Fall River Line, they arrived at their new home at 26 Manhattan Avenue early Monday, where George Arnold had already taken up residence in a room especially prepared for him. CPS was back at the Evening Telegram office in time for his usual routine. Their occupancy of the first of their family homes was, however, destined to be much shorter than they anticipated. The Spanish - American War of 1898 was responsible for that.
Although CPS and Edith had been married only a few months prior to the declaration of war, there had been no long discussion between them as to his possible participation in the war effort. All other considerations aside, Edith had the conviction that CPS's military experience constituted the definite obligation to go along, rather than to exercise his privilege of assignment to the home guard 108th Regiment of the National Guard being organized to take over the 8th Regiment armory while the 8th was a Federal Service. It was a trying time for her none the less. involving breaking up their home for the unknown length of time that CPS would be on active duty. So George Arnold took over the task of moving all their belongings to the home of his sister Mary Bishop at 49 Depeyster Street, North Tarrytown, where he and Edith were to live for the duration.
When the regiment volunteered for active service under its own officers, its strength was required to be increased to twelve companies, in accordance with Federal regulations. Since there were no corresponding staff positions in the Federal Service CPS was appointed captain of the newly organized Company L for the duration. The new regiment was assembled at Camp Townsend, Peekskill, NY, mustered into United States service in the period 14-19 of 5-1898 and moved by train to Camp George H. Thomas at Chickamauga, Georgia, for training and further assignment. Orders for duty in Puerto Rico and the Philippines could not be carried out due to extensive disease, preventive inoculation for typhoid fever not then being known. Plans for later service in Cuba were dropped due to the early Spanish surrender after the Santigo campaign.
Upon the receipt of a telegram from George Arnold at North Tarrytown, announcing the arrival at noon on July 31st of the first grandson, at Chickamauga in the month of August 1898 CPS applied for and obtained a 10 day leave.
He arrived in North Tarrytown in time to take the first photo at the age of 5 days and to participate in the selection of the new arrival's name, Arnold Baldwin Staubach. Returning to camp on schedule, CPS did not get to see the family again until late October, when, the war being over, the 8th Regiment was sent back to New York for the time consuming paperwork involved with processing its muster out of the United States Service and reorganization for National Guard Status, done in November of 1898.
After a bout with Typhoid malaria CPS was given an honorable discharge from the Federal service and was reappointed captain of retained Company K (which absorbed Company L) with original rank from 29-11-1895, thus making him the senior captain of the regiment. In May of 1903 he received 10 year Long Service medals from the State and 8th Regiment prior to his resignation and full and honorable discharge from the regiment and the National Guard in October 1903. Shortly there after the next junior captain became a major, later a lieutenant - colonel and eventually retired as a full colonel by brevet.
While in camp at Peekskill in 1898 CPS had supplied the New York Herald with camp news. Later in Chickamauga, he sent weekly two columns of news published over his initials "CPS" in the New York Sunday Times. Checks in payment went directly to North Tarrytown to help with the family budget. After terminating his federal Service, and resuming his position with the New York Evening Telegram, the family was brought back from North Tarrytown to NYC to live for a while in an apartment at 21 Manhattan Avenue and then in another one on Morningside Avenue, where his parents were then living for the winter season.
The winter of 1898 and early 1899 CPS gave help on some evenings to a friend who had organized and was conducting a Retail Dealer' Bicycle Show in Grand Central Palace, at 43rd Street & Lexington Avenue, with the result the the lessee and manager of this large exposition building, second in size in the city, offered to him the position of assistant manager. His acceptance terminated his connection with the Evening Telegram and caused the removal of the family to an apartment at 317 East 57th Street within walking distance of his new office. It was there that the daughter was born on 25-9-1900. She was named Elise for her grandmother, Elise Schwab Staubach, Baldwin's wife.
CPS had in 1899 resumed participation in the management of Century Runs sponsored by various bicycle clubs. Just a few in 1899, ten or more in 1900 and just a few after that, as he had found sponsors that had the means of attracting participant in rally great numbers, namely the New York Evening telegram and the New York Evening Journal. Preliminary publicity in the columns of these papers brought entries for these events almost without limit, whichadded hundreds of names to his already large mailing list, a fact which led him to conduct on his own what he called the "Veterans Invitation Century Runs". These he ran annually all the way up until 1896, after which he handed the title and ownership over to the Century Road Club Association and retired from all activities of this sort, as he had made business connections of lasting value that commanded all of his time and energies.Natuarally, the cycling activities described had been a source of considerable income to him, as he supplied all the copy for newspaper publicity and was paid space rates on all that was published both before and after each event. In many cases more than one thousand cyclists took part, moving in divisions of a hundred riders each, following the pace set by his personal staff of pacemakers that he had built up over the years. In his own "Veterans" Runs, there were other sources of profit and commissions that amounted to sizable figures.
Early in 1901 the Grand Central Palace acquired a man from Madison Square garden who was supposed to be able to bring with him from there, a lot of exposition business. There not being room for them both, CPS pulled out soon afterward. The next experiment later that year was, with a partner, to open up a short lived conbination (Syracuse) bicycle agency and butchers' supply store on downtown Warren Street. The location proved to be poor for the purpose and the partner no use at all.
Once more it was demonstrated that mail advertizing was the only effective way to get customers in sufficient numbers was not to wait for them to come in and buy, but to go out and get them. The place was given up at the end of that year's century run season in favor of a good office position at #111 Fifth Avenue, NYC, which started a 5 year connection with affiliates of the American Tobacco Company; American Cigar Company: Havana - American Cigar Co. and Floradora Tag Co., in that order. The last company was the premium department of all the other companies.
When CPS and Edith were in residence in East 57th Street in NYC in 1900, they had moved 4 times in three years. After that they speeded up the pace.Fed up with living in apartments, in 1901 they rented a corner house on Jensen Avenue, Marble Hill, Kingsbridge, NYC, and stayed a while and then went on to another house on the same street. This became the birthplace of the second son and third child, Lodge DuBois Staubach, on 27-1-1902, named for Daniel H. Lodge, an associate for many years in cycling and later in business at #111 Fifth Avenue, and the child's grandmother, Francis Augusta DuBois, wife of George Washington Arnold. CPS and Edith left Kingsbridge to spend several winter months of 1902 & 3 in the Baldwin Staubach home in Pocantico Hills, while CPS' parents were away in Europe. On the return of Baldwin and Elise Staubach to Pocantico Hills, CPS and Edith rented a small house on Van Courtlandt Park Avenue, in Lower Yonkers, NY, not far above the NYC line.
In 1904 a house at 550 Van Cortland Park Avenue was offered by the builder for sale. CPS and Edith bought this house and for the first time had a home of their own. The community was close knit and very friendly. The neighborhood Nappamack Club met for social evenings at members' houses and used bowling alleys uptown until it built a club house with two bowling alleys downstairs; dance hall, stage and meeting rooms upstairs, just around the corner from their home. Their fourth child and third son was born in the new house on 15-3-1906, completing the family group. His name, Charles Neff Staubach, honored his father and the family friend and physician, Major (later, Colonel, Lewis Knode Neff, surgeon of the 8th regiment for many years. CPS and Edith remained in this home until July 1910 and retained ownership until 1919.
As to their church home, CPS and Edith had none that was definite while making their rapid changes of residence from 1897 up until they had reached Kingsbridge in 1901. While there they went to the Church of the Mediator, Episcopal Churvch, in which daughter Elise was baptized 3-ll-1901 and son Lodge 6-1-1902. In Yonkers they were communicant members from 1903 to 1910 of St. Andrew's Memorial Church, where their son Charles was baptized 28-10-1906. This church sent them, after they moved to Hartford, Connecticut, a certificate showing that Mr. & Mrs. C. P. Staubach had been communicants there, just for the information of any church as they might select. St. Andrews was some distance from their home in Yonkers, so the children went to the Baptist Sunday School nearby.
It had become evident to CPS that he had been sort of a "rolling stone", in matters of business activities, for some 14 years in all; still learning something all the time that became of use throughout the more substantial career now, at last, opening up. In American Tobacco Comapany, assigned mostly to substantial work with Mr. W. H. Joeckel, company auditor, he worked closely with Mr. Joeckel for the entire 5 years of his advancement, during which he received credit for many innovations introduced, methods of improvement, and various problems solved, with semi-annual salary increases up to the final year, concluding as assistant auditor.
At that time he made inquiry one day at the head office and found that "tops" for this kind of work had been reached for the time being. He had his eye on a higher job with the main company for which he was properly in line. When it was explained that this had to go to an incoming close relative of a high executive, he went back to the office of his immediate supervisor, Auditor of the Floradora Tag Company, and asked for the rest of the day off. His request granted, he went downtown to talk with a neighbor from Yonkers, who was head of the New York State Burroughs Adding Machine Company sales organization.
He made a deal with Mr.Peters and went back uptown, to put in his immediate resignation. Bright and early the next day, in June of 1906 took over the job of office manager of the New York branch Burroughs office, which then covered the entire state of New York with sub-offices in Albany, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo, in the St. Paul Building. This proved to be the entire wedge to a connection lasting twenty-three years in various capasities in New York City, Hartford, Detroit, New York City again and then finally in Newark, New Jersey.
Charles and Edith Arnold Staubach had moved from, Tarrytown, NY; to Yonkers, NY > Hartford, CN > Detroit, MI > Highland Park, MI > (summers at) Sylvan Lake, MI > Glen Ridge, NJ > Rockledge, FL > (winters in) Cocoa, FL, following retirement from successful Burroughs Adding Machine career.

Mrs. Edith Arnold Staubach had purchased a plot in the Old Dutch Cemetery for her father, George Washington Arnold, buried in 1910 and her brother, Cyrus M. Arnold, buried in January of 1943 with one one headstone, showing both of their names and dates. They may have been buried one above the other, a practice sometimes used. Uncle Lodge believes that his Uncle Cyrus' ashes were intered in his father's plot. That plot is filled.
In Sleepy Hollow Cemetery adjoining the Old Dutch burial grounds in the North, there are records #3272 of section 38 having been purchased by Charles P. Staubach and Edith Arnold Staubach as one owner. This section is nearly triangular and has four cemented grave plots. Adjoining the prepared plots the is room enough for one more. Charles P. Staubach and Edith Arnold Staubach; Elise Staubach; Lodge D. Staubach and Dorothy Campbell Staubach; Charles N. Staubach and Addelle (Mysen) Wilsie Staubach occupy the Staubach Family grave sites in this S T A U B A C H section.
A thick, long and stately granite bench stands proudly at the crest of the plot with the name of STAUBACH boldly carved into its back rest. Charles and Edith, while courting, took many a long walk through the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in their early days and the bench is placed there at a fork in the cemetery road to allow those weary traveler a place to sit and rest. It's truly but a stone's throw from the legendary bridge, which the Headless Horseman forced Icobad Crane to meet an uncommon fate!

d. May, 23, 1963 - Age, 62, [single]
Elise had a serious illness as a pre-teen, that was not labelled properly. Physicians believed, at first, that she had influenza; then brain fever and finally it was thought to be St. Vitus Dance (a popular term for a serious neurological disorder). After 1948, exploratory surgery at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor, had found it to be Encephalitis. It dried the liquid layer up between the top of her brain and her skull. Her brain was literally scraped from her skull, as some pockets of debris were scraped away. It was hard for Elise to live socially on her own, so she had lived her life in the homes of her parents. Elise did finish high school, after receiving a diploma with a homebound education and some additional correspondence courses.

Red Cross, Blood Drives, and the League of Woman's Voter's were activities she put her heart into. She donated time to local libraries in and around communities near where they had lived. Dot remained a warm and lovng, personable aunt, throughout her years. She kept in touch and had a knack for assisting me with paving my way into and through my teen years and supprted me wholeheartedly into adulthood with good humor and "down home" common sense. She believed in me.

He received a Bachelor of Arts Degree at the University of Michigan in 1928 and Masters Degree in 1930 and PhD in 1937. On 23-5-1931 in Ann Arbor, Church married Mary Karpinski, the daughter of Professor (of Mathematics) Lewis Karpinski. Both Chuck and Mary were Masters of Arts candidates for PhDs, residing in Ann Arbor until late 1933; then Paris, France and Spain until late 1934, when they divorced. Chuck taught a year at Louisiana University at Baton Rouge, as an instructor of Spanish 1929-30. He taught for 3 years at the University of Michigan as instructor 1930-1943, as assistant professor. It was during this time Chuck met Addelle (Mysen) Wilsie, a divorcee, still pregnant with her second child, a daughter) not yet born, at the Ann Arbor Civic Orchestra. They both played violin.
The Family of Charles N. Staubach - 1950s
They married in 1937, after which Chuck legally adopted Addelle's two children: Karl Hugh and Celia Ann. In 1943-1949 he was an associate professor. 1949-1954 Chuck was a Professor of Spanish. 1954-1965 he was Chairman of the Department of Romance Languages, as he continued to advance to become a full Professor at the University of Michigan. In 1951-1958 Chuck taught at the University of Arizona in Tucson, as a Professor of Spanish. As a visiting Professor, at the Universidad Javeriena and the Universidad Nacional, Bogota', Colombia 1944-1945, he fulfilled a request by the U. S. State Department of Education within their Exchange Teacher Program. But he insisted on taking his family along with him. So the family has another tale to tell in their Bogota' Diary, that I plan to retype someday from old carboncopy onion skin letters! Several summers Chuck taught at the University of New, Mexico the summers of 1963-1965; the University of Missouri in 1960; Iona College in 1962 and the University of Colorado at Boulder 1965.
