"Liza" or Lize as she was known by her friends and family or "Liz" was the eighth child of Alfred and Selina Pester. She was born Resolven South Wales after her parents moved there from Aberaman, Aberdare.
Liza was a toddler, a little over two years old when her family emigrated to Fernie, British Columbia, Canada in 1904. The Pester family travelled on board the H.M.S Manitoba on a trip that took them a week. According to Liza's niece, Nellie Rogers Gusewelle, the family made their first stop in Pennsylvania to visit family who were living there. It is possible this was the Seymour family in Girardville Pennsylvania. The family have a picture dated in the late 1890's of Liza's Uncle Aquilla Seymour and his family. Eliza's parents Alfred and Selina had married in Girardville in 1882 and had their eldest child Jack there in 1884 before returning to England to live.
After their stay in Pennsylvania, along with her family Eliza went to Fernie, Canada travelling westwards from Quebec. While living with Fernie, Liza's older sister, Lizzie got married. Later the entire family moved to Coal Creek, Canada where the men in Eliza's family worked in the coal mines.
In 1908 Eliza along with her parents and brother and sisters, with the exception of Lizzie and Tillie (who had recently married) and possibly Jack, emigrated to Thurber Texas. They entered the U.S.A. at Rexford, Montana and continued travelling by rail through Idaho and on to Texas. A legal document of entry into the United States Of America kept by Liza's brother Jim verifies this route.
Thurber, Texas was a booming coal mining town at the time the Pester family moved there. They again engaged in coal mining. Eliza's father possessed his competency as a coal miner from Coal Creek, BC, Canada.
Many of Liza's childhood years were spent in Thurber. Her mother died when she was around nine years old. Her baby brother William died soon after he was born in 1908. Those children who were not of legal age continued to live with their father in Thurber. In 1919 when Eliza was around 18 years old, her father Alfred died of the Flu epidemic that was raging through Texas at the time. After her father's death, Eliza and her brother Jim went to live with her sister Lizzie and her family on main street in Edwardsville Illinois.
Lizzie and Frank had moved to Illinois early as the Thurber coal mines began to decline. Liza got a job at the shirt factory and worked there for a number of years. Later around 1925 Liza met and married William Rex Hacker who lived in the Collinsville, Illinois area Bill was a world war one veteran and his health wasn't too good. Eliza suffered from a hearing condition brought on from a severe case of measles as a child. Although the couple had no children they were very close to their brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews.
The author remembers both Liza and Bill being "full of fun" and loving to "cut up". Many parties and much dancing was held at their house with friends of the family coming in to play the fiddle and accordion. The author remembers that on New Years after the stroke of midnight everyone went out doors clanging on pots lids and beating on pans with a spoon. Delicious foods brought by everyone were eaten. Later the children were stretched out on Eliza and Bill's bed to sleep until the wee hours of the morning when the older folks decided it was time to go home.
Bill who died on 8/12/1950 preceded Liza by more than 40 years. Eliza, a very independent woman, made her way on her own with the help of her sisters Florrie and Lizzie and their children. Prior to Liza's death her helpers were her sisters
Florrie's children Ronald and his wife Clarice Mary and Jackie. All of Liza's family, parents, brothers and sisters had preceded her death when she died at the advanced age of 90. Eliza and Bill are buried beside one another at Sunset Hill Cemeteries in Edwardsville Illinois.

Decree Nisi for Bath Wife
Mr Justice Byrne in the Divorce Court Thursday granted a decree to Mrs Mary Irene Cowlishaw of George Street, Bathwick Hill, Bath on the ground of the adultery of her husband Mr Frederick Gordon Cowlishaw. The suit was undefended. The parties were married at St Mary's Church, Bathwick in September 1937. The case for the wife was that the marriage was happy until 1945. In January her husband wrote from the continent admitting adultery with a Belgian woman in December 1944. | Family (F12669)

A Life Well-Lived - M. Charles "Chuck" Noltie, 1930 - 2022
It is with great sadness that we give notice of the passing of M. Charles "Chuck" Noltie. Chuck was born February 9, 1930, in London, Ontario, to Violet M.E. Noltie (née Perry) and Charles "Chas" W. Noltie. Chuck died on May 25, 2022, at age 92.
As a youth, he attended Empress Elementary and Central High School in London, after which he completed an Honours Bachelor's of Business Administration degree in 1951 at the University of Western Ontario. He was an accomplished student, the first in his family to pursue post-secondary education, and he maintained a life-long association with the Business School and with several fellow graduates. His sons, and several of their children, also attended Western.
After college, Chuck was hired by the Ford Motor Company of Canada, spent a brief stint with IBM, and he then returned to Ford where he spent the remainder of his career. Some of Chuck's early years with Ford were spent in Calgary, and it was on a blind date that he was paired with nurse Shirley J. Peel, a partnership which was to last 67 years following their 1955 wedding.
Career advancement at Ford saw the pair move and then leave a number of cities in western Canada (including Edmonton, Regina, and Winnipeg). A son was born to them in 1958 while back in Calgary; together the threesome moved in 1960 to Mississauga, Ontario (then Port Credit). Their house on Wateska Boulevard became the family home for 56 years, their 2016 departure from which was the result of failing health. It was to that home that they welcomed two additional sons (1962, 1965) and a daughter (1966). Sunrise Senior Living in Mississauga was their final address; the care there was outstanding.
Chuck's career with Ford saw him assigned roles of progressively increasing responsibility, including Truck and Fleet Sales, Regional Manager - Central Region, Regional Manager - Eastern Region, National Parts and Service Manager, and Director of Dealer Development and Market Representation. The Québec assignment resulted in the family moving to Beaconsfield (in the West Island of Montréal), for the years 1973 - 1977, during which Chuck and the family enjoyed attending the 1976 Olympics. The family then returned to their Mississauga home where Chuck and Shirley resided for nearly four more decades. Chuck retired from Ford in 1990 after nearly four decades of dedicated and devoted service, having spent his career doing work that he truly enjoyed.
Chuck participated in a number of hobbies through his life, including rabbit breeding, bird watching, stamp collecting, fishing, photography, music appreciation, world travel, epicurean adventures, and reading about current events, history, and biographies. His greatest leisure passion was the family cottage ("Loon Lodge") on Cameron Lake in the Kawarthas, acquired in 1977, and which remains under family ownership. This became the hub of family activities on weekends throughout the year, and later for vacations involving the children and grandchildren. Numerous celebrations, and many of the family's fondest moments, and occurred in this beloved place.
Chuck was also an active member of the community, e.g., serving for many years in various roles in Scouting, which resulted in him receiving formal recognition for his many contributions. He was a life-long church-goer, first in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now Community of Christ; including Maitland Street, Montréal, and Mississauga congregations), and later in the United Church of Canada (St. Stephen's-on-the-Hill congregation) where Shirley worshipped. He also helped organize numerous neighbourhood events and activities for residents of the Mississauga Gardens community.
Chuck is survived by his wife, Shirley, (i) a son, Douglas [wife Elaine; daughter Aislinn with husband Keegan Wright and son Kieran; daughter Brianne; daughter Caitlynn], (ii) a son, Brant [wife Patricia; daughter Dayna with husband Tyler Duprey; daughter Kirsten; daughter Leigh-Anne], (iii) a son, Keith [wife Elizabeth; daughters Miyah, Janna, and Emma], and (iv) a daughter Karen [daughter Patricia with husband Roy Resende and girls Layla and Londyn; son Gregary; daughter Maddison]. Chuck was pre-deceased by his parents, his sister and brother-in-law (Elaine and Bill Pardey), and Shirley's sister and husband (Ernestine and Arthur Harden). Many nieces and nephews remain, as do relatives in southwestern Ontario.
Chuck's passing at Trillium Hospital was somewhat unexpected, but occurred quietly and peacefully, surrounded by an admiring family whose love for him knew no bounds. Chuck touched numerous lives in many positive ways, most of all those of his children. Any endeavour in which he participated was better for his contributions.
Six months after his death, Shirley also passed away. A public Celebration of Life for both Chuck and Shirley is scheduled for
June 24, 2023, at St. Stephen's-on-the-Hill United Church, 998 Indian Road, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5H 1R5 (Lat . 43°32'27.87" N; Long, 79°36'54.98" W). Interment in the Peel family plot in Queen's Park Cemetery, Calgary, will follow at a later date.

A Life Well-Lived - Shirley Joan (Peel) Noltie, 1929 - 2022
It is with deepest sadness that we give notice of the passing of Shirley Joan (Peel) Noltie. Shirley was born December 24, 1929, in Cabri, Saskatchewan, to Doris Emma Louise Peel (née Derman) and Wilfred Peel (both immigrants from England). Shirley died mid-day on December 14, 2022, just days before her 93 rd birthday and, fittingly, just a few short months after the death of her beloved husband (Chuck).
Shirley's first home was a spartan wooden farmhouse located on the prairie of southwestern Saskatchewan, just east of the Great Sand Hills. Money was tight, her father was a wounded WWI veteran, and life was challenging (especially during winters, droughts, and economic downturns). Nonetheless, she reminisced about those times with much fondness, appreciative of the pioneer/homesteader/sodbuster life that fostered hard work, diligence, frugality, simplicity, utility, and a love of animals and "big skies". Chores and play were shared with her older sister (Ernestine), as were the long treks to school, church, and town.
The Great Depression made farming untenable where they were, and so the family moved to Calgary, Alberta, in 1937, into a quaint home on 8 th Avenue NE. In Calgary, Shirley first finished public and high school. After choosing nursing as a profession, she then graduated from Crescent Heights Collegiate Institute, and subsequently completed Registered Nurse's training at Calgary General Hospital in 1952. Later, she moved to Victoria, British Columbia, where she undertook post-graduate nursing training at Royal Jubilee Hospital in 1954. Returning to Calgary, she worked at her
alma mater as an operating room nurse, where her skills and exemplary practices were applied to both surgery and to teaching nurse trainees, which led to her becoming a credentialed Operating Room Clinical Instructor in 1954. Despite putting her nursing career on hold to marry and raise a family, she never lost contact with her CGH nursing classmates. For her, the work was a calling, and she returned to nursing (in a private practice office) after becoming an empty nester. She also nursed her husband for some years at home, until their mutual declining health necessitated one final move.
It was while nursing in Calgary that she agreed to go on a blind date with an up-and-coming businessman from London, Ontario, working for the Ford Motor Company. Chuck (M. Charles) Noltie proved to be the love of her life, and their 1955 wedding began a 67-year year partnership that continued until Chuck's death on May 25, 2022, at age 92.
Career advancement at Ford saw the pair move to and then leave a number of cities in western Canada (including Edmonton, Regina, and Winnipeg). Shirley claimed that she knew when a move was coming, because she would just have gotten the new house organized and the flowers planted. During a return posting to Calgary, the couple celebrated the arrival of a son in 1958, the birth occurring at Calgary General Hospital (of course!).
Shirley left the west (somewhat unwillingly) when the threesome moved east in 1960 to Mississauga, Ontario (then Port Credit) due to another job transfer. Their house on Wateska Boulevard became the family home for 56 years, their reluctant 2016 departure from which was the result of declining health. It was to that home that they welcomed two additional sons (1962, 1965) and a daughter (1966). Sunrise Senior Living in Mississauga was their final address, the care there being outstanding.
As something of an interlude, Chuck was transferred to Montréal, Québec, for a four-year stint spanning 1973 to 1977. Home there became Pinetree Crescent in Beaconsfield (part of Montréal's West Island). Different schools, a new language and cultural milieu, and novel sport pursuits and hobbies, made the time in Montréal an enriching experience. The family then returned to Mississauga where Chuck and Shirley resided in their Wateska home for nearly four more decades. Chuck ended his Ford career in 1990, and the pair enjoyed a lengthy and satisfying retirement.
In 1977, the family acquired a cottage ("Loon Lodge") on Cameron Lake in the Kawarthas, which became the hub of family activities on weekends throughout the year, and later for vacations involving the children and grandchildren. Numerous family celebrations occurred there, forming the basis of many fond memories (compensating to a degree for Shirley's annoyance at having another dwelling to maintain).
While not overtly demonstrative with her affections, Shirley was a model mother. She was a fastidious housekeeper, nursed illnesses, supported her children's scholastic pursuits and extracurricular endeavors, orchestrated elaborate children's birthday parties, encouraged faith, manners and good behaviour, and tended to everyone's needs before her own.
She was also extremely talented - she excelled as a cook and baker and at canning (jams, relish, pickles, preserves, fruit, and vegetables, usually hand-picked); she was a talented seamstress (children's clothes early on, and all Halloween costumes were home-made, as were a succession of Chuck's housecoats); she was accomplished at knitting, crocheting, silk screening, cake decorating, rug hooking, maintaining family scrap books, vegetable and flower gardening, and doing crafts with her grandchildren. She loved nature, especially the backyard birds she bribed with seed, suet, and squirrel deterrents. Although basically a homebody, she traveled extensively with Chuck across an array of countries, broadening her horizons (but less so her palate!).
A theme in Shirley's life was service - to family, community, and church. She was active in Guiding, serving first as leader and ultimately as a much-respected but unassuming District Commissioner.
She was a devout and devoted member of St. Stephen's-on-the-Hill United Church for more than 60 years (save four years spent at Beaurepaire United Church in Beaconsfield); she sang in the SSOTH choir for several decades, served as an elder, and was a dependable and willing volunteer for numerous activities and programs. She was a trusted and devoted neighbour and friend, and could always be counted on to lend a hand.
Above all, Shirley had a deep love of family, both immediate and extended - she adored her parents, was especially fond of her elder sister, was a model aunt to her nieces and nephews and their children, and fondly maintained ongoing contact with her relatives near and far (by distance and relatedness).
Shirley's passing at Trillium Hospital in Mississauga was somewhat unexpected, but occurred quietly and with dignity. A bedside observance followed. Shirley is survived by (i) a son, Douglas [wife Elaine; daughter Aislinn with husband Keegan Wright and son Kieran; daughter Brianne; daughter Caitlynn], (ii) a son, Brant [wife Patricia; daughter Dayna with husband Tyler Duprey; daughter Kirsten; daughter Leigh-Anne], (iii) a son, Keith [wife Elizabeth; daughters Miyah, Janna, and Emma], and (iv) a daughter Karen [daughter Tricia with husband Roy Resende and girls Layla and Londyn; son Gregary; daughter Maddison]. Shirley was pre-deceased by her parents (Wilf and Doris Peel), and by her sister and brother-in-law (Ernestine and Arthur Harden). An array of nephews and nieces remain, as do relatives in western Canada, England, and in other Commonwealth countries.
Shirley leaves behind family members who cherished her so, and who will carry her memory on their hearts always. Her love was expressed in her actions and her giving and devoted nature. She was the glue that held her family together. Words fail in expressing how much we loved and now miss her.
A public Celebration of Life for both Shirley and Chuck is scheduled for Saturday, June 24, 2023 (coincidentally Shirley's half birthday), at St. Stephen's-on-the-Hill United Church, 998 Indian Road, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5H 1R5 (Lat . 43°32'27.87" N; Long 79°36'54.98" W) . Interment in the Peel family plot in Queen's Park Cemetery, Calgary, will follow at a later date. | Peel, Shirley Joan (I98619)

SHOCKING PIT ACCIDENT
On Monday morning, at the Whedale Hotel, Major Arundall held an inquest touching the death of Edward Henry Lockyer, of William Street, Wheldale Lane, who had lost his life at the Wheldale Colliery. Last night week deceased was at work, in the Warren House Pit, when he was buried under a fall of roof, and before he could be extricated, his life was extinct. Lockyer was, in every relationship of life, an admirable character. Though occupying a comparatively humble position, he had, by his blameless walk and conversation, his kindness as a neighbour, his affection as a husband and father, his diligence and conscientiousness as a workman and his self-denying services in the vineyard of the church come to be regarded with genuine and general respect, and his death, especially under such circumstances, is deeply mourned by all who were personally acquainted with him. Among the latter were the people attending the Primitive Methodist Chapel in Duke Street, where, along with Mr Dando, he was superintendent of the Sunday School, and in other ways strove to make himself useful. Mr. Lockyer leaves a wife and family, and the former, we regret to learn, is in a very delicate state of health.
At the inquest, Mr. Wilson, assistant mine inspector, of Leeds, who had previously visited the scene of the accident, was present, and so was Mr Arundell, the manager of the Colliery, who explained a plan of the workings which he had had prepared. The first witness called was William Lockyer, who said: I live at 19, Queen Street, Castleford, and am a coal miner. The body just viewed by the jury is that of my late brother, Edward Henry Lockyer. He, too, was a coal miner and forty nine years old. He and l were working together in the Warren House Pit of the Wheldale Colliery on Friday evening when a fall of coal and roof took place about half past seven o'clock. More than a ton fell on to the deceased and covered him. I helped to get him out but about hour elapsed before we could do so. He was then dead. I cannot account for the fall of roof. He and I were both practical miners, and worked as mates. We had been at work since half-past two o'clock in the afternoon. The deputy (John Smith) visited the place about a quarter to seven and sounded the roof; he made no complaint in any way. From my own knowledge I considered the place safe. The place was properly timbered and plenty of loose timber was at hand. After the fall I noticed that there were two slips but we could not see them before the fall took place. EH Jeffrey said: I live at Bridge Foot, Lock Lane and am a coal miner, I had known the deceased for twenty years. He was an experienced and careful miner. I went to where the fall was albout ten minutes past eight on Friday night, and assisted to get, deceased out. I first got hold of his hand, and by the feel of it, I know that life was extinct. I saw a break or slip running from the face of the coal. John Smith said: I live at 91, Nicholson Street, Half Acres, Castleford, and am a deputy at Whe1dale Colliery. I visited the Lockyers' working place at Warren House Pit on Friday evening last, at a quarter to seven o'clock. I sounded the roof, and it appeared quite safe. The place seemed to be properly timbered. Deceased did not make any complaint. I saw the place after the fall, and noticed a slip running across the face. That slip could not be seen before the fall took place., It was that slip which caused the coal to break away. Deceased was a particularly careful man. This was all the evidence, to which Mr Arundell added his testimony that the deceased was one of the smartest men they had about the colliery. After the Coroner had summed up the evidence the jury immediately returned a verdict of 'Accidental death.' On Tuesday the remainder of the deceased were interred at the Castleford Cemetery and the ceremony seemed to excite a mournful interest among the people who live in the Wheldale-lane district. Many of them attend the Duke-Street Primitive Methodist Chapel where, as stated above, Mr Lockyer was one of the superintendents of the Sunday school. In the chapel the first part of the burial service was conducted by the Rev. J. Jopling and Mr Hide in the presence of a very large congregation, and Mr Schofleld played the Dead March at the close. As the funeral procession - a very long one - took its way to the cemetery, several hymns were sung at intervals. There were crowds of people on each slide of the streets, and deep sympathy was expressed for the widow and family in their sad bereavement. At the Cemetery we noticed, amongst others, Crs Hanson, Garratt, and Latchem, and Messrs Gabriel Dando and Milton Monk. The service having been concluded at the grave-side by the Rev. T. Jopling, the company slowly dispersed, many of them feeling that in the death of Mr Lockyer they had lost a true friend and a bright example of manly living.

Robert Nussbaum (born May 30, 1892 in Strasbourg ; died April 15, 1941 in Sachsenhausen concentration camp) was a German doctor and philanthropist.
Robert Nussbaum was born as the son of the Jewish professor of anatomy and biology Moritz Nussbaum and his wife Ida, b. Koppel, born in Alsace, Germany at that time. He was an uncle of the journalist Peter Scholl-Latour.
After graduating from high school, he joined the Infantry Regiment 132 in Strasbourg on April 1, 1914 as a one-year volunteer, with whom he went to the First World War. As early as August 1914, he received the Iron Cross 2nd class from Corps commander von Deimling personally due to bold patrol undertakings. In mid-1915 he was transferred as a junior physician to Infantry Regiment 143 off Ypres and stayed there until the beginning of the Battle of Verdun when he was wounded. On November 21, 1918, he was released from military service. As chief physician of the fortress hospital in Strasbourg, he continued to look after the wounded and sick in Alsace until the hospital was closed by the French military authorities and the Germans expelled.
Robert Nussbaum then studied medicine in Tubingen , in order to obtain a Dr. med. worked in the Esslingen hospital until 1922, where he excelled in child care. After a short period in Dusseldorf, he became the first assistant doctor for infant and child protection in Dortmund . There he made himself available to the headquarters of the passive resistance during the occupation of the Ruhr, but had to leave the Ruhr area at the end of March 1923 because of imminent arrest.
Following that, Nussbaum lived and worked as a city doctor in Minden. In particular, he took care of alcoholics and tuberculosis sufferers. He served poor families not only medically. On January 29, 1932, he was appointed up to December 31, 1935 as a medical officer of the supply court. He was a member of the SPD and since his youth a member of the Wandervogels (treasurer in 1917) and the later Kronachbund.
After the "seizure of power" by the NSDAP, on August 31, 1933, because of his membership in the SPD, he was forbidden from exercising his mandate as a member of the Parents 'Council of Citizens' School II by a police order. On February 28, 1934, the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians of the Minden District informed him that as a "non-Aryan" doctor he could not take part in Sunday service, while on November 6, 1934 he was awarded the Cross of Honor for Frontline Fighters.
In February 1937 there was a dispute with two Minden doctor colleagues who had asked two restaurant owners to deny access to Nussbaum's patients. This quickly led to measures and a lawsuit by the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians in Germany (KVD), against which Nussbaum lodged a complaint. The two doctors sued him for insult. In two trials in May and June 1937 it condemned the Minden Schoffengericht due to questionable evidence to fines, the defendant and the plaintiffs while calling men casting. In August 1937, the Large Criminal Chamber of the Bielefeld Regional Court rejected the appeal and sentenced the accused to prison of a month. However, Nussbaum had already been arrested on July 14, 1937 and taken into "protective custody". He was never released again. In a further court case for "racial disgrace" on the basis of statements by a mentally ill person, the Bielefeld criminal chamber sentenced him to a prison sentence of three years and three years of loss of honor with a ban on practicing as a doctor for a period of five years. On the other hand, Nussbaum and his defense immediately appealed to the Imperial Court in Leipzigone that actually overturned the judgment and referred the proceedings back to the Bielefeld Regional Court. There Nussbaum was again sentenced to three years in prison. To cover the various process costs, Nussbaum's entire property had to be sold.
At the urging of Robert Nussbaum's mother, Ida Nussbaum in Kassel , a pardon was drawn up and submitted on July 15, 1940 by Nussbaum's wife Dora (née Quirin, 1894-1944), with rejection on August 28, 1940. After serving the prison sentence on On February 14, 1941, Robert Nussbaum was taken back into police custody and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. His last letter to his family is dated April 13, 1941.
His widow continued to live very secluded in Minden and looked after herself and her son Heinrich (* 1924). The siblings Günter (* 1925) and Anneliese (* 1928) had already moved to England at the end of the 1930s. On March 3, 1943 , the Bielefeld Special Court sentenced Dora Nussbaum to one year in prison on the basis of a denunciation . She served the sentence from May 10, 1943 to May 16, 1944 and had to pay RM 546 for this stay . During the bombing raid on November 6, 1944, she was killed in her house at Steinstrasse 9 in Minden and buried in row graves with 107 other victims in the Minden North Cemetery.
================================================
Robert Nussbaum was born on 30th May, 1892, in Strasbourg which at that time was part of the German Reich. His parents, Moritz and Ida Nussbaum nee Koppel, were both Grammar School Professors. He had a sister and his family were part of the Jewish Community.
Robert Nussbaum was studying medicine when he, in 1914, volunteered for the Military. He took part in the First World War as a private soldier and later as a student doctor. He was wounded and was awarded the Iron Cross. After his demobilisation from the Military in November 1918 he worked in the Strasbourg Hospital as a volunteer. In 1919 Strasbourg became French Elsass and he was expelled because he was German. He completed his medicinal studies in Tubingen and worked as a Doctor in Esslingen, Dusseldorf and Dortmund, where his main subject was Paediatrics. In 1923 he took part in passive resistance against French occupation in the Ruhr Valley and because of the threat of arrest fled to Minden.
From 1923 Robert Nussbaum lived with his wife, Dora nee Quinn, in Minden. Dora Nussbaum was a Christian and had three children, Heinrich, born in 1924, Gunter, born in 1925 and Anneliese born in 1928. The family first lived at Konigstrasse 74 and later moved to Steinstrasse 9, at it's junction with Stiftstrasse, with the rooms of the Doctor's practice being in the house.
Robert Nussbaum was a member of the German Socialist Party (SPD) and the vicar, Wilhelm Mensching, described him as being a social minded, energetic person with a high sense of responsibility and commitment, willing to treat alcoholics and TB patients. He was respected, loved and held in high esteem. Even in 1923 he was appointed the towns official Doctor and in 1932 was appointed the Doctor responsible at the Public Courts.
The harassment of Robert Nussbaum began with the power takeover of the Nazis because he was a Jew and a Social Democrat. In 1933 he was excluded from the parents committee of the Infants School at the suggestion of the Police because he was a member of the Social Democratic Party. He was excluded from Sunday duties by the local Association of General Practitioners for not being Aryan. In 1937 he was anonymously accused of insulting colleagues which was accompanied by disciplinary action from the German Medical Board. Two of his Minden colleagues submitted complaints against him but offered to retract them if he left Minden. He refused to leave and denied the offence at the Magistrates Court. He was found guilty of the accusation and was fined, with the option of a prison sentence. Robert Nussbaum appealed against the sentence and was arrested on the 14th July, 1937, before the court hearing. He would, until his death on 15th April, 1941, never again be free. In August, 1937, his appeal was thrown out of court. Robert Nussbaum was sentenced to one month in Prison.
At the end of 1937 Robert Nussbaum was accused of a racial violation by a patient. The Police described the female patient as rather disturbed and a Doctor called to assess her described her as a Psychopath. In the County Court in Bielefeld, in the spring of 1938, Robert Nussbaum denied the accusation but was given a three year prison sentence, a three year loss of trust and banned from practicing medicine for five years. He appealed and on 30th May, 1938, the High Court quashed the sentence and sent the case back to the County Court, which again sentenced him to three years in prison on 11th September, 1938.
Robert Nussbaum was imprisoned, in Munster and in Kassel from December 1938 until February 1941. During this time his wife and mother made several appeals for leniency on his behalf and applied for permission for him to emigrate with the family. On the 14th February, 1941, Robert Nussbaum was released from prison after serving his sentence and was immediately sent to the concentration camp at Sachsenhausen. He died there on the 15th April, 1941, in unexplained circumstances. The official diagnosis was pleurisy. | Nussbaum, Robert (I90604)
