Louis Stern (c.1856-1901) —
of St. Paul, Ramsey
County, Minn.
Born in Germany,
about 1856.
Democrat. Naturalized U.S. citizen; newspaper reporter; U.S.
Commercial Agent (Consul) in Bamberg, 1893-1901.
Jewish.
Arrested
and fined in
Kissingen, Germany, 1895, for insulting
the Baron von Thuengen; also charged
with misrepresenting
his 15-year-old son as being twelve in order to get cheaper passage
to Europe for him on a steamship; the U.S. Consul General in Berlin
asserted that Mr. Stern was "very harshly and unjustly treated".
Depressed over financial problems and perceived anti-Semitism, he
began neglecting
his work; he was recalled
as commercial agent in 1901, but remained at Bamberg; his failure
to return money he had collected on behalf of U.S. citizens led
to a judgement
against him for 2,000 marks, which he was unable to pay; he died
by self-inflicted
gunshot,
in the public gardens at Bamberg, Germany,
June
10, 1901 (age about 45
years).
