Biography | How the diaries reached the Historical Society: (Included with the diaries sent by St. Mary's Historical Society to LWG for transcription was the following:) Mr. Theodore Smeal, President of the Eben J. Russ Public Library of St. Marys, has presented to the Historical Society of St. Marys and Bensinger Township all the diaries kept by the Honorable Sebastian J. Wimmer, one of the most famous railroad construction engineers of his time. Mr. Wimmer resided in St. Marys from 1863 until 1907. He was a very methodical man and kept complete diaries of his activities. These diaries were presented to the Eban J. Russ Library a good many years ago by Mrs. Lavinia Vollmer, wife of the late Henry J. Vollmer. Mr. Smeal and his board of Directors feel that the proper place for the preservation and display of these diaries should be in the Historical Society headquarters in the Municipal Building on Erie Avenue. The Honorable Sebastian J. Wimmer, who was probably the most famous citizen ever to reside in St. Marys and who was born in Bavaria, Germany, January 5, 1831, came to this country on June 2 1851, with his uncle, the Right Reverand Arch-Abbot Boniface Wimmer. He became a railroad construction engineer of national and international fame. In 1853 he was appointed assistant engineer in the construction of the Allegheny Valley Railroad, having charge of the division between Pittsburgh and Kittenning, and was engaged on this project until October, 1856. In 1862 he made a survey from Garland to Oil City and from Titusville northward. In June 1863 he was transferred to St. Marys to take charge of the contract to complete the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, from Whetham west of Lock Haven, to Warren, a distance of 143 miles. In 1865 he was sent by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to take charge of the building of the Imperial and Mexico City Railroad for an English company. Mr. Wimmer's name is indelibly associated with the Imperial Mexican Railway by having one of the bridges on the Maltrata incline named after him, perhaps the only record where a civil engineer has thus been honored. Upon completion of the Mexical railroad, he built the eastern section of the low grade railroad between Driftwood and Sabula. In 1877 he was appointed chief engineer on the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie railroad, upon completion of which, in 1879, he was appointed chief engineer of the New York and Northern railroad. After another brief business jaunt to Mexico, he was appointed chief engineer on the construction of the Erie and Wyoming Railroad from Pittston and Scranton to Hawley, from 1882 to 1884. He then, in turn, had charge of building the Yonkers Rapid Transit Railway, the line between Turner on the Erie Railroad and Danbury, Connecticut, and the lines in Elk and Clearfield counties for the Pittsburgh, Shawmut and Northern Railroad. Mr. Wimmer then became associate chief engineer of the Wabash Railroad, comprising the Pittsburgh, Carnegie and Weston Railroad from Pittsburgh to the Ohio River, the Pittsburgh, Toledo and Western Railroad from the Ohio to the connection of the Wheeling and Toledo Railroad. This is one of the most difficult roads ever built in this country, having seventeen tunnels varying in length from 200' to 4700', and many bridges including two exceptionally long ones over the Monongahelia and Ohio rivers. This piece of work will ever stand as a monument to the ability of Mr. Wimmer as an...........(page 3 is missing.) | |
Anecdote* | "to a large extent Mr. Wimmer's career has been that of a Pittsburgher. This city has been his residence for long periods at various times, but St. Marys Pennsylvania is his official residence and the family home for over forty years. He had a large stock farm in Minnesota to which he makes occasional visits and in which he finds his chief pleasure. | |
Biography* | "History of Mc Kean, Elk, Cameron and Potter Co., PA p. 809 says "Sebastian Wimmer, nephew of Arch Abbott Boniface Wimmer (b. 1-14-1809 with Christian name of Sebastian) married Miss L.H. Blakely of Pittsburg on 2-12-1857. They had a son named Ernest J.Wimmer born at St. Mary's, PA" Sebastian was one of St. Mary's most famous men and Arch Abott Wimmer was one of the religious founders. "The first foundation of Benedictines in America arrived under the leadership of Reverend Boniface Wimmer-later first Abbot and Archabbot. They had come at the invitation of Father Lemke of Carrolltown, Pennsylvania, who hoped to have them at his mission. But after consulting with Bishop O'Connor of Pittsburgh the plan was changed to the gain of both the Benedictines and the people of Westmoreland. On October 21, 1846 Bishop O'Connor wrote the following document: "To all whom it may concern. We do hereby appoint the Reverend Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B., pastor of the Roman Catholic Congregation, worshiping at St. Vincent's Church, Unity Township, Westmoreland County, vacant by the resignation of the Rev. M. Gallagher, and we confer upon said Rev. B. Wimmur all rights and privileges appertaining to said office of pastor of said Congregation, this appointment to hold good until revoked by us or our Successor or until. a new appointment. "Given at St. Vincent's on this twenty-first day of' October A.D. MDCCCXLVI. "M, Bp. Pittsburgh." Taken from SLB's "Reminiscenses" Sebastian Wimmer's father came from Mexico with the Arch Duke Maximilian, who after he assumed the throne, made him imperial director of railways. [BOLD: In 1999 found a book review on the internet that follows: FEATURE BOOK REVIEW Oetgen, Jerome. An American Abbot. Washington, DC: Catholic UP, 1997. 470 pp. $39.95. ISBN 0- 8132-0893-9. The figure of Boniface Wimmer straddles the history of American Benedictines like a colossus, a primordial force in shaping the vision and founding generations of Benedictine communities in North America. It was not until 1976, however, that the first biography of Wimmer appeared, Jerome Oetgen's An American Abbot. It was a work whose readability and historical scholarship were equal in stature to its subject. Now, more than two decades after the biography was first published, Oetgen has written a revised and expanded version of that work. It has built upon the parallel developments in American Benedictine historical studies that have emerged in the ensuing years, used additional historical source material and reevaluated some of the original assessments contained in the 1976 version. The result is a book expanded a third in length from the original and one that should continue to serve as a standard of scholarship and writing for some years to come. One of the evident advantages of Oetgen's portrait of Wimmer is that it is depicted within the broader historical backdrop of other nineteenth-century monastic movements and the American Catholic Church. He also resists the tendency to make Wimmer a monochromatic individual, something the mythmakers of Benedictine history are easily prone to do. That Wimmer could be authoritarian, impulsive and driven is true, but Oetgen paints a picture of Wimmer that also includes a man willing to admit mistakes, someone showing pastoral solicitude for those entrusted to his care (especially the poor and underprivileged), and displaying a remarkable resiliency and faith in the face of personal road-blocks and human weakness. Oetgen is especially adept at providing a balanced perspective on such controverted questions as the relation between Wimmer and American Benedictine women. While he notes the unjust manner in which Wimmer manipulated money intended for the sisters and could be overly controlling of their lives, he also points out how the abbot did his best to serve as spokesman for the rights of monastic women, give public credit to their essential role in his monastic enterprise, and in his later years become a principal agent in raising funds for them. Oetgen recounts in detail how that enterprise came into being, illustrating the formidable obstacles and hardships it encountered as well as the successive steps of its achievement, from the German abbey of Metten to the network of monastic communities established in North America. One is left with a renewed appreciation of the timeliness of Wimmer's vision and the singular vigor in which he carried it out. The historian John Tracy Ellis' evaluation of Wimmer as "the greatest Catholic missionary in nineteenth-century America" is affirmed when Oetgen presents the reader with the intrepid itinerary of Wimmer's monastic foundations and his impact on the Catholic Church of his day. Not only was he present at the creation as founder of the first community of Benedictines in North America (1846), he was present at the Second and Third Plenary Councils of Baltimore (1866 and 1884) and the First Vatican Council in Rome (1869- 70). He was presider over eight general chapters of the American-Cassinese Congregation, a counselor to bishops and abbots, a pathfinder in promoting the evangelization of the Church in the American West and South, and a prophetic voice in providing care for Africans and Native Americans as well as immigrants. Oetgen is able to weave into his story the extraordinary elements of leadership and visionary genius that were Wimmer's legacy. His capacity for organization and administration lived on in the pliant infrastructure of his many monastic foundations. His visionary viewpoint was affirmed in such ideas as the establishment of a house of studies in Rome and broader cooperation within a confederation of Benedictine congregations throughout the world. His model of leadership was passed on through successive generations of abbots and bishops who were formed at St. Vincent. Without subscribing to the "great man" theory of history, Jerome Oetgen has produced a definitive study of the one person in American Benedictine history who shaped Benedictine identity in this country more than any other. He describes how Wimmer achieved this despite a series of internal revolts by his own monks against his activist model of monastic life and ongoing criticism of his single-minded and impulsive decisions. Like so many of his contemporaries in the last century, Wimmer left a formidable deposit of correspondence. Oetgen's firsthand familiarity with this source material and with the significant players in the world of Boniface Wimmer make for a compelling glimpse at a formative era that forever shaped American Benedictine life. One can only hope that it will whet the appetite for another generation of monastics to study the pioneer legacy of the patriarch of monasticism in North America and stimulate similar scholarly studies of noteworthy American Benedictines.

Immigration* | 2 June 1851 | He immigrated on 2 June 1851 to New York, NY, He reached New York, went to visit his uncle at St. Vincents then settled in Pittsburgh getting a position with Hastings and Preisser, city engineers for Pittsburgh.4 |
DIARY ENTR* | 1860 | In 1860 at Pittsburgh, PA, Wimmer made reference to Byardstown in his 1860 diary.......Noticed that yesterday when re-reading it. On Jan. 1st he went to "Bayardstown church"....whatever that was. Note that Bayardstown is the old name for the area of Pittsburgh now called "the strip". The early Blakely family lived in this area when the 1830 census was taken. The corner of Mulberry and 12th is the approximate location.3 |
Residence* | 1863 | He lived in 1863 at St. Mary's, Elk County, PA; The Elk County Gazette reported that the house was located on North St. In 1908 it was moved to the rear of the lot so that the front of the house faced Maurus Street. A new home was built on the site previously occupied by the Wimmer house. The Wimmer house remains occupied as three apartments in 1999. Wimmer Family moved to St. Marys in 1863. Probably moved to this town because of work on railroad.4 |

Anecdote | 3 December 1921 | On 3 December 1921 Note from Laura Steneck when she was asked how the Wimmer diaries survived his death: My memory was faulty yesterday when I said Alois gave the diaries to the Historical Soc. Here is a direct quote, sent to me by Mary Miller: "Mr. Theodore Smeal, Pres. of the Eben J. Russ Public Library of St. Marys, presented to the Historical Society of St. Marys and Benzinger Township all the diaries kept by the Honorable Sebastian J. Wimmer, one of the most famous railroad construction engineers of his time. Mr. Wimmer resided in St. Marys from 1863 until 1907. He was a very methodical man and kept complete diaries of his activities. These diaries were presented to the Eban J. Russ Library a good many years ago by Mrs. Lavenia Vollmer, wife of the late Henry J. Vollmer. Mr. Smeal and his Board of Directors feel that the proper place for the preservation and display of these diaries should be the Historical Soc. headquarters in the Municipal Building on Erie Ave." The article (typed copy) is not dated and goes on to give a biography of Sebastian Wimmer. When Laura was asked how the Vollmers came in possession of the diaries, she opined:Well, a tidbit or two might explain how she happened to come into possession of the diaries. I was reading a very faint copy of a biography written by Charles Schaut. On page 22 it states: "The casket bearing the remains (Sebastians) was taken to the H. J. Vollmer home and the funeral was held December 3rd, services being conducted in the St. Marys Church. After the last 'Requiescat in Pace' had been chanted, the casket was borne to the St. Marys Cemetary where all that was mortal of this great engineer was given back to earth from whence it had come, but the memory of him lives on, and will be cherished long after the last vastige of the mundane body has reverted to ashes and dust." It is possible that all of his earthly possessions (including his diaries) were returned to St. Marys from St. Vincents Abbey. Having no living relatives in the town, and since the Vollmers took possession of his earthly remains and saw to it that a proper burial was had, perhaps they also took possession of his diaries, preserving them for their historical value.5 |
Note* | 2001 | Note from LWG who is transcribing Sebastian's diaries: At the age of two Sebastian and his parents moved to Munich Germany where he attended schools and completed his education with a Polytechnical degree and an engineering course. He emmigrated to New York with his uncle Boniface Wimmer on January 2, 1851. He secured a position with the city engineers of Pittsburgh but remained only a year. Then he went to New Orleans for a short time and returned to Pittsburgh. In 1854 he took the position of assistant engineer on the Alleghany Bally Railroad project. |

MARRIAGE* | before 1722 | Elizabeth Winborn married John Bass Jr., son of John Bass and Love Harris, before 1722 at Northampton, NC, Several people cite the name Elizabeth Winborn, but I've never been able to document. Here is a note relative to that search. Melanie Seago [melseago@earthlink.net]Here's my source for Elizabeth Winborne. Charles Lucas cclmd@aol.com RootsWeb WorldConnect Project: John Lucas of Eastern North Carolina Descendants and Kinfolks Deed book 1 page 343 says that on March 4, 1748 John and Elizabeth Bass of Northampton deeded land to William Winborn of Nansemond County Virginia. They sold him 150 acres on the north side of Roanoke River in Uraha Woods for 60 pounds. It was part of a patent granted to Henry Sims. Its possible that William was Elizabeth's brother which is how we know her maiden name. |
