Stolzenbach bakery

Ironically, Stolzenbach’s brother, William L. Stolzenbach, who operated a bakery in Canton, found himself accused of a lack of patriotism by a defense group for refusing to join in a bread exchange policy he questioned. William Stolzenbach saw other motives for the accusations. In a letter to the group, quoted in the Aug. 21, 1917, edition of the Lima Daily News, he wrote: “Certain of the emissaries of your department who have been in Canton have charged me with bearing a German name. If this is an offense under the laws of the country, I shall be compelled to plead guilty to the charge. I cannot, however, and shall not permit your council or any of its members or representatives to challenge my Americanism or my patriotism.” Charles Stolzenbach experienced no such problems and served as leader of the district food conservation committee throughout the war. As a member of the Lima health board, a position he’d held for more than 15 years, Stolzenbach found himself engaged with another enemy closer to home as World War I wound down – the Spanish Influenza pandemic, which killed millions worldwide. “Col. Charles Stolzenbach, dean of the Lima Board to Health, returned this morning from Columbus where he visited state health authorities,” the Daily News reported Oct. 16, 1918. “’Columbus is filled with the flu and it seemingly is increasing,’ said the colonel. ‘Every office you visit has from one to five clerks missing. No strict measures seemingly were taken in time. I believe Lima is doing well and if the people follow the rules as laid down, we may escape lightly and stamp out the plague.’” Apparently not everyone followed “the rules as laid down” by Stolzenbach and the health board. On Dec. 15, 1918, the Daily News reported the arrests of 69 people for not wearing flu masks. “On the whole,” the Daily News noted, “it was announced citizens of Lima were abiding cheerfully by the edict and most of them were wearing their masks, which now are becoming less of a novelty and attract less attention.” After the war, as the flu pandemic burned out, Stolzenbach’s attention returned to his bakery. On Aug. 11, 1919, the News reported Stolzenbach had added “a two-story brick addition to their plant at 219 N. Union St. … The new addition will house a retail store, offices, laboratory and a garage in the rear, all for the company’s use. The addition will be joined to the present plant which is just east of Main Street.” In January 1922, the News noted that Edward Stolzenbach, Charles Stolzenbach’s son and, like many members of the family, a bakery employee, had used the laboratory to perfect “a special flour containing everything that’s needed” for making waffles “except the moistening ingredients.” Stolzenbach, meanwhile, remained engaged in city health issues, calling for construction of an incinerating plant in September 1923 and, two months later, urging the cleanup of “vile housing conditions in certain sections of the city.” In 1925, Stolzenbach retired from his bakery after 37 years. In January 1927, the News reported that the newly incorporated Lima Bread Company had purchased the Stolzenbach Baking Company. The Lima Bread Company folded a year later and the property was purchased by The Lima News, which was located just south of the bakery. Stolzenbach died in January 1931 at t...
