BURGERMEISTER

   Erwin Dobler and his wife Anna immigrated to the United
States from the Chiemgau region of Bavaria Germany in
1959. Their intention was to find work which was scarce
in Germany and stay a couple of years and then move
back to Germany. Within 6 months of immigrating to the
USA, Erwin was drafted into the US Army where he
served 4 years. During that time Erwin and Anna were
blessed with the birth of their first child Sylvia. Foregoing
their plans to return to Germany, the Doblers’ decided to
make their home in America and settled in the Cincinnati
area.
