DR. FRANZ H. KIRMAYER. - 'NSR SSR 32' 225' 22722 ' I - 630.229 eieiezezavlfifeff? Ssivi-,QI -Q'-'QT 5:5f: eie- RANZ H. KIRMAYER was born March 25, 1840, at Unterhoerlbach, a small village of lower Bavaria. Attended the common schools till his eleventh year, entered then the Latin school of the neighboring town of Abenaberg QAbruina castraj and after graduating from its two years' course he was admitted to the Gymnasium of Wetten on the Danube. After graduating from that Gymnasium he went to the University of Munich for three years and then to the University of Giessen for one year, in both of which Uni- versities he devoted himself to scientific and literary subjects, taking chemistry as his specialty, and language as a pastime. After graduation from the University, he travelled extensively both on the continent of Europe and in England, and came finally to the United States, where he arrived in the summer of 1863. Here he pursued the occupation of decorative painter and paper hanger, a trade which he had learned during his stay as student at the Gymnasium of Wetten. As the war became more fierce from day to day, and all his friends enlisted, he left his lucrative work and joined Co. G, 54th Ghio Vols., Zouaves, in March, 1864. He was with General Sher- man during the Georgia Campaign, and was in many a hard-fought contest at Resaca, Dalton, Dallas, Kennesaw, and other places, until on july 3, 1864, at Nickajack Creek near the Chattahoochee, not far from Atlanta, he was blown up by a' rebel shell. The loss of his left leg, a severe wound in his right leg, injury to back, eyes, and head from the explosion left him helpless on the Held. His injuries were so severe that he was considered beyond hope, and either through rash belief of rumors, or jealousy, he was reported dead. He had been appointed Sergeant from the ranks, for gallantry at Kennesaw Mt. When after many months in various hospitals he was discharged in March, 1865, he betook himself to Ghio, where he worked as clerk and accountant dur- ing the day, and in the evening as teacher of a private evening school. In 1867 he went back to Germany to prepare himself for the profession of teaching. In 1868 he was appointed Vice-Consul of the United States at Munich. This position required only two hours' work each day and so gave him ample time for study, besides helping him to defray his expenses. At that time the Hon. J. W. Dickinson, our late Secretary of the Board of Education, came to his office and asked for a letter of introduction to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to get permission to visit all the schools of Munich from the lowest to 4147
