In November 1999 I did some research in Wisconsin State Historical Society (Madison) on Marquette county papers.

Searched the Milwaukee Sentinel Index:
Oct 20, 1856 - Dec 31, 1857	found no Koberstein's
Jan 1, 1858 - Mar 14, 1859	found no Koberstein's
Mar 15, 1859 - Apr 19, 1860	found no Koberstein's
Apr 20, 1860 - Jun 29, 1861	found no Koberstein's
Jul 1, 1861 - Sep. 19, 1862	found no Koberstein's
Sep. 20, 1862 - Dec 31, 1863	found no Koberstein's

Looked in the Glen Ullin Newspaper (nearest town of Hebron, North Dakota) unfortunatly the dates that would have included Ida Koberstein birth notice was missing.

X rays not evidence

A Jersey City judge refuses to allow photograph to be introduced.

New York, Oct. 20 - Judge Nevins of the Hudson county circuit court in Jersey City today refused to admit an X ray photograph as evidence in a damage suit. George Koberstein the plaintiff, rode on a car of the North Hudson County Railroad company from Union Hill to West New York on March 27. When he alighted as he alleges, the conductor pushed him because he did not get off the car quickly. He fell, and his right leg was broken. As he further alleges the conductor rang the bell and went on, leaving him lying in the roadway. He was ? ? bed for eight weeks. He brought suit against the company for ? ?. Dr. August Krause, who attended him supplemented his testimony with an X ray photograph ?????????????????????? be introduced, and I do not care, under the circumstances, to establish a precedent."

Based on the date of the occurrence and expecting that the George Koberstein is probably an adult, the most likely person this can be is George J. Koberstein (wife Jessie, and occupation as Jewelry Store retail merchant) listed in the 1930 census in Baldwin, St. Croix, Wisconsin, not George R. Koberstein (wife Pearl, and occupation as hardware retail merchant listed in the 1930 census in Glenwood City, St. Croix, Wisconsin who was the father of Freeman Koberstein the Piano professor at Oberlin College later in life. This conclusion is made based on all other George Koberstein's in the 1930 census as not being an adult at the time of this incident.

There is another reference to this incident in the New York Times of New York, New York dated October 15, 1897 here quoted: "No X-Ray Photograph The Judge would not admit it as evidence in the suit. Judge Henry M. Nevis of the Hudson County Circuit Court, in Jersey City, yesterday refused to admit an X-ray photograph as evidence in a damage suit. George Koberstein, the plaintiff, rode on a car of the North Hudson County Railroad Company from Union Hill to West New York on March 27. When he alighted as he alleges, the conductor pushed him because he did not get off the car quickly. He fell and hi right leg was broken. As he further alleges, the conductor rang the bell and went on, leaving him lying in the roadway. He was confined to bed for eight weeks. He brought suit against the company for $10,000 damages. Dr. August Krause, who attended him, supplemented his testimony with an X-ray photograph showing the nature of Koberstein's injury. "I never hear," said Judge Nevis. "of an X-ray photograph being used as evidence in this State. I know of no law under which it can be introduced, and I do not care under the circumstances, to establish a precedent." The case will be continued today.

Interviewed:

At her business, Anna Christina Antiques, Coburg

"I'm ambivalent because I feel that peace is ultimately the answer, but how do you achieve peace if there's no cooperation on the side of the people who've attacked us?" Dori Koberstein says.

"I'm not for killing, but at the same time I feel like we gave them a chance. It's just such a Catch-22.

"I'm definitely not anti-war ... My daughter is very anti-war, she's been in the marches and rallies. I'm proud of her for standing up for peace and against killing people. What do you do if there's no alternative?

"After 9-11, no one felt safe anymore. So it's, 'Get rid of your weapons of mass destruction or we'll come over and take care of the situation.'

"We certainly can't afford to be attacked like that - ever again.

"The bottom line for me is I want America to stay a safe place for us to live and work and be free to say what we feel."

WHAT CAN YOU make of a hero named Zero? If you're University Theatre director Joseph Gilg, you build a monumental production around him.

Zero - or more properly, Mr. Zero - is the spineless principal character in Elmer Rice's classic 1923 Expressionistic drama "The Adding Machine." It's a work kept alive primarily through courses in American theater history and educational theater productions - such as the one that will be staged at Robinson Theatre beginning Friday.

Accused Attorney Files Answer in State High Court

Asserts any violation of Rules of Legal Ethics was 'Unwitting'

Madison (AP) Attorney N.R. Torrison of Manitowoc, accused of unethical professional conduct, has filed an answer with the state supreme court denying any wrong doing.

The board of state bar commissioners in a complaint filed Feb. 28 accused Torrison of assisting Fay Thorne, former Tow Rivers policeman in defrauding a crditor, Erna Griep, of approximately $3,500 and aiding Thorne in evading alimony payments to his wife, Kathryn.

He also was charged with unduly delaying payment of a judgment of $431.59 to Chester and Irene Wiltgen of Manitowoc, and of offering money to Emil Peterik, from whom the judgment was won, to say that he (Peterik) had not paid it.

Guided by Conscience

"If I acted in bad taste or against the rules of legal ethics," Torrison said in reply to the fraud charge, "I do so unwittingly, and at all times acted according to the dictates of my conscience and did not know then or now how I erred."

In answer to the alimony accusation, Horrison, who had obtained $3,300 in back pay for Thorne from the city of Two Rivers, said it was an "unfortunate situation," but that it was necessary to turn it over to Thorne instead of paying Mrs. Thorne's claim to "avoid possible criminal charges directed against myself."

Torrison said he made a "satisfactory" settlement with the Wiltgens Jan. 2, 1936, and did not delay payment or offer Peterik money to conceal payment of the judgment.

Two other attorneys, Darrel D. MacIntyre and J. Philip Koberstein, both of Madison, were accused of unprofessional conduct at the same time. Koberstein, charged with subornation of perjury and other unethical practice, has denied all charges. MacIntyre is expected to file his answer this week.

Why the newspaper article refered to "Miss Pearl Blood", inferring that she was not married is unknown.

"Man Dragged to Death

Joseph Koberstein of Town of Greenfield meets death under wagon

Joseph Koberstein, a farmer of town Green field, was dragged to death by his team of horses Monday evening. It appears that Mr. Koberstein was driving a spirited young team at a rather lively rate of speed. Fred Verch, who was also b ound for home, drove his team near Mr. Koberstein's team, and also drove a a pretty lively rate. Near McArthur's linen mill Mr Verch passed Mr. Koberstein, and when the latter neared the corner at the "red school house," his team became unmanagable, Mr. Koberstein was thrown from his rig and, having gthe reins fastened about his body, he was dragged some distance. When picked up he was unconscious and died before reaching his home. His body was horribly mangled.

A coroner's jury composed of A. Fry, H. Niles, T. O'Neil, H. Netcher, F. Keyser and J. Kramer was summoned by Sheriff Stackhouse and the inquest was conducted by Coroner Gibbons at the home of the deceased Tuesday. The jury decided that the accident was caused by the team following and frightening the team of the deceased, and that he came to his death by being dragged and kicked in the head by a horse. Mr. Koberstein was about 37 years of age. He leaves a wife and seven children. He carried insurance policy for $2000 in the Modern Woodman Lodge.

The battle erupted a year ago when it was revealed that the endowment had funded exhibits including homoerotic photographs by the late Robert Mapplethorpe and a work by Andres Serrano in which a crucifix was submerged in urine.

Congress responded by prohibiting the agency from funding "obscene" art in its 1990 appropriation of $170 million, which aroused the anger of advocates for the arts and defenders of the 1st Amendment, who cried that Congress was practicing censorship.

Frohnmayer, appointed by President Bush six months ago to quell the controversy, said a day hasn't passed since then that he hasn't had to address the issue. Bush and he agree that the ban on obscene works should be removed from the law and that the agency will administratively tighten procedures on the awarding of grants.

"We had supported a five-year extension" of the endowment, said White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater. "But the Congress established this commission to take a look at the question of how grants are made and what criteria should be used. And in that connection, (we) felt that a one-year extension would be good while that commission considers its work."

The proposed cooling-off period didn't mollify some critics of the arts agency, however, some of whom want to abolish it.

"It won't solve the problem," said Jennifer Koberstein, spokeswoman for Rep. Steve Gunderson (R-Wis.). Gunderson wants to channel up to 50 percent of the endowment's funds through state art boards, up from 20 percent, and retain the provision prohibiting the funding of obscene art.

If the problems aren't addressed now in reauthorization, when the appropriation comes up, the funds will be cut, predicted Koberstein.

"You looked down at the fence, threw your shoulders forward and didn't keep your leg on the horse, so he didn't have enough pace," explained the horse trainer to the novice. "Try that again, but this time keep your heels down and eyes up."

This time horse and rider glided over the poles-but landed on the opposite side in an awkward heap. Red Baron seemed unamused as he swished his tail, but the rider was overjoyed. "I got over the fence!"

This scene is played out again and again in stables in the Chicago area where hunt seat equitation is taught. Hunt seat is a forward style of riding in which the rider stays with the horse's center of gravity as the animal goes through its gaits (walk, trot, canter). It also allows the horse to jump obstacles without interference from the rider.

Though it looks easy, it takes training for a rider and horse to be able to jump fences.

"Riders are ready to jump when they can walk, trot and canter without stirrups as well as ride figure eights and serpentines (snakelike figures)," says Kristine Koberstein, a hunt-seat trainer at Country Clubs Stables in Morton Grove. "If students ride twice a week-depending on their athletic ability-they can be jumping within four months."

Although most teaching barns allow students to jump in a relatively short time, many experts recommend years of lessons before jumping is attempted.

There is a specific technique involved. When a horse takes off over a fence, the rider should bend forward at the hip with his back paralleling the horse's back. The rider's hands should follow the horse's neck and not interfere with his mouth as he arcs his body over a fence.

Riders might expect a few bumps and bruises on the way to mastering jumping. "Falling off is part of learning," Koberstein says. "In this sport you learn by your mistakes."

In learning to jump-as with almost any sport-there is a possibility of injury. Stables require students to sign a release and to wear hard hats to protect against head injuries.

Many stables that offer hunt-seat lessons have indoor riding rings, so riders can take classes even during Chicago's blustery winters.

To find a stable offering lessons, Carolyn Johnson, vice president of the Illinois Hunter Jumper Association and trainer at Weather Vane Farms in Woodstock, advises looking in the Yellow Pages or checking with friends. "If you know someone who rides at a stable, and they feel that they are learning, give that place a try," she says. "Not every place is right for every person.

"There really are not a lot of bad stables around. Basically, you will find qualified instruction at any establishment that is actively showing (horses in competitions sponsored by) the Illinois Hunter Jumper Association or the American Horse Show Association."

Equestrian Nancy Frank recalls riding with a German master as a child, but she returned to the sport only four years ago.

"I like to jump because it's scary sometimes," says Frank, who now owns a horse. "It's exhilarating. The higher the fence, the more exciting. My fantasy is to become a stadium jumper, but I don't think that will happen because it takes an awful lot of training and the right horse."

You can rent horses at the stables, but you may eventually decide to get your own. It isn't cheap, however. Boarding fees average from $200 to $400 a month. Training for the horse is additional. If a rider wants to go to shows, he'll also have the expense of entrance fees and shipping his mount to the show grounds.

There's also the initial price of a horse, which can run from $500 to $500,000, depending on its age, breeding, abilities and training. Incidentals, such as hoof oil, saddle soap and treats for your four-footed friend, also add up.

"I spend about $20 a month on carrots-the obligatory treats-and untold amounts on sweet potatoes, apples, oranges and peppermint candies," says equine lover Marguerite Shea.

Rising insurance costs have put many Chicago-area stables out of business, but there are still a handful of teaching barns. Most require an appointment for lessons.

Here are a few stables that teach hunt seat:

Coach Horse Equestrian Center, 1410 N. Orleans St.; 266-7878. Hour lesson $35 before 4 p.m., $40 after 4 p.m. and weekends; board $380.

Country Club Stables, 9501 Austin Ave., Morton Grove; 965-1632. Half-hour lesson $22; board $370-$405.

Forest View Farms, 16721 S. Lockwood Ave., Tinley Park; 560-0306. Half-hour lesson $12; board $215.

Oakbrook Farms, 1201 35th St., Oak Brook; 323-0956; Half-hour lesson $23-$25; board $300.

Palatine Stables, 1510 N. Northwest Hwy., Palatine; 359-4800. Half-hour lesson $15; board $235.

Weather Vane Farms, 8206 Bull Valley Rd., Woodstock; 815-338-5754. Half-hour lesson $15; board $200.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHER WINDS UP A FOCUSED CAREER; [CHICAGOLAND FINAL Edition]

Norma Libman. Special to the Tribune.. Chicago Tribune (pre-1997 Fulltext). Chicago, Ill.: May 22, 1994. pg. 1

Abstract (Article Summary)

Jim Blair, staff photographer for the National Geographic since 1962, became interested in photography when he was a Cub Scout. He soon decided that the best way to take photographs was to go to where things were more interesting than they were at home. "For any young person," he says, "that's generally about as far away as you can get."

Blair, 63, retires this month from his staff position at the National Geographic. His last story, "A Russian Voyage: From the White to the Black Sea," written by Miles Clark, will appear in the June issue of the journal.

As a child, Blair took his camera on family trips and when he went hunting with his father. Photography and travel have always gone hand-in-hand for him. But he knew very little about the National Geographic until he grew up and became a working photojournalist and someone suggested he apply for a job there.

Now, says Blair, who has traveled as many as 200 days per year on assignment for the journal, which has a circulation of 9 million and a readership of 40 million, travel and photography are totally intertwined so that he can barely separate the two.

"We use travel to describe an experience in an environment different from our home," he says. "The business of getting on an airbus and flying in a cigar container 12 or 20 hours and then getting off doesn't interest anyone. Travel is reaching the destination. And the anticipation is always that the destination will be remarkable and wonderful and exciting.

"When that airport appears out of the blue and your plane settles down toward it, when you look out the window, and see another red-earth, scrub-covered, flea-bitten airport, you begin to wonder whether you really are an absolute romantic or there's going to be some reality there. And it isn't until you're in Madagascar, for example, past the airport, through the customs, and off with members of the Missouri Botanical Garden on a research trip of theirs to find plants that may be the cure for cancer that you're into what is really exotic and exciting."

When Blair travels he has one worry most people don't: as many as 15 bags with clothes for two months (and sometimes two different climates), 300 or 400 rolls of film, and up to six cameras.

"If I'm flying all the way on the same airline I send the bags through. But if I'm on my way to Europe, for instance, I'll fly first to LaGuardia Airport, get the gear out of the baggage, make sure it's all there, put it in a taxi or limo and go with it to Kennedy and put it on British Air or whatever flight I'm going out on. I don't trust them to make that transfer."

The cameras travel in water-tight plastic cases and are wrapped in foam. Blair says they generally survive the transport. "The problem we used to have with piston-engine aircraft was you'd have so much vibration that the screws in the cameras would all jiggle loose. We solved that by having the camera repair people glue the screws in. Now, with jets, that's not a problem."

Customs is a spot where people with extra camera equipment might run into trouble. Blair's advice here: "Before you leave take the time to get your cameras checked by U.S. Customs. They will give you a document saying that you had them before you left the country so you won't have to pay customs duty on it when you come back in.

"I never have any trouble with customs because I'm always very polite. I've had my cameras put into storage overnight while I went into Delhi to get the proper clearances, but they were properly kept and well looked-after. Fortunately, I've never lost anything. And that's with hundreds of different countries and different customs authorities."

Blair, who has been the photographer for 50 stories for the National Geographic, says every assignment is different. One of his favorites was a trip to the Arctic coast for a story, called "Oil in the Wilderness: An Arctic Dilemma" and written by Douglas Lee, published in December 1988.

"The assignment was to show the character of the Arctic coast and the threat to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, which is on the coast of the Arctic Sea, and north of nowhere," says Blair. "The idea was to show how beautiful it was and also to show the threat to the refuge from U.S. interests to expand Prudhoe Bay oil activity east into the Arctic Coast National Wildlife Refuge.

"We went up in the summer in order to be able to move around across both the Alaskan side in the U.S. and onto the northern Yukon National Park side in Canada. We wanted to photograph the Eskimo hunters and also to document the issue of oil coming to this pristine and completely untouched area. One of the most exciting moments for me was to fly in a light aircraft with the national wildlife researchers, photographing the snow geese that settle on the plain during the summer and fill up with food in order to prepare to fly all the way south to Southern California and into Mexico.

"One of the most exotic things about going to the North in the summer is that there is no night. The Alaskan community has been in the dark all winter long so they're ready to party 24 hours a day. One of the most important lessons that I've learned during my years of travel and photography is to try to get acclimated to the rhythm of life as it plays out in front of me, rather than trying to bend everything to what I remember from back in Washington, D.C."

Blair says the same advice goes for food: Eat when the locals eat and eat what they eat. "Really get in contact with the people. That's of primary importance for me, to do my job, but also for anybody who's interested in enjoying traveling. The idea of going to Hong Kong and looking for the local McDonald's is ridiculous."

As for staying well on these long and often rigorous trips, Blair says, "I try not to get exhausted. I try to husband my strength because I know I will be there for two months. I'm careful with what I drink and eat, but that doesn't mean I reject tea when someone is kind enough to offer it, even in what looks like a not very sanitary place in Iran or wherever. It's extremely important to be a good guest in someone's house and accept their hospitality.

"But I buy bottled water by the caseload if I know I'm going out in the bush. Otherwise, if we're traveling by Jeep somewhere and we stop at a market, I will buy Fanta or Coke or Pepsi for everybody, including the driver, because I don't want them to think I don't trust their water. Then everybody's relaxed. The best thing that can happen is that somebody will invite me into their hut or their house or their tent, and it's from that point that I begin to get pictures.

"I try to be as gentle as I can and as much of a gentleman as I can. And I try to travel with different types of people so I can meet different types of people and photograph what they want to show me. Generally, if I'm there with a friend and I ask if I can take some pictures it's OK. And if it isn't OK, then I don't take the pictures. There is never any reason to demand photography, and it doesn't make good photographs, anyway."

Now that he is retiring, Blair has plans for free-lance work and intends to continue to concentrate on the environment and the problems people face in the Third World. He says he and his wife still like to travel just for fun, too, especially in the Washington, D.C., region and in Vermont. They enjoy trying new restaurants, and he advises that the best way to take a driving trip is to stop long enough for your meals to read an entire section of the newspaper.

"I stop long enough to be able to relax from driving. After a couple cups of coffee and a section of the newspaper, we're off and ready to go again."
