Henry Crimmel
Henry Crimmel (February 14, 1844 – October 10, 1917) was an American glassmaker who became well known in Ohio and Indiana. A German that came with his family to America at the age of eight years, the American Civil War veteran started at the lowest level in glass making, and learned every aspect of the business.〔This information is from his front-page obituary in the Hartford City News - "H. Crimmel Drops Dead on Street". He was described as “prominent in the glass industry, and was well and favorably known throughout the country.” Additional information can be found in the Twelfth Census of the United States (1900), which confirms that he entered the country in 1852 from Germany.〕 A skilled glassblower known for his glassmaking expertise and the recipient of two patents, he also worked in management in at least three glass factories – and was one of the co-founders of the Novelty Glass Company (of Fostoria) and the reorganized version of Sneath Glass Company. He retired with over 50 years in the industry.
==Identity and origins==
In 1852, the Crimmel family emigrated from the Hessen region of what is now Germany to South Wheeling, Virginia. Wheeling had a German population that may have attracted the family.〔According to Wheeling's Centre Market web site ''History of Centre Market,'' one out of every five residents in 1850 was ''born'' in Germany. (Market )〕 Immigrants from this time period often, upon arrival in the United States, would ride trains to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and then ride in boats down the Ohio River to settle in cities along way. An alternative route to Wheeling (from Baltimore) involved the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and/or the National Road.〔Although the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad did not reach Wheeling until the end of 1852, the National Road was completed from Cumberland, Maryland to well-beyond Wheeling by 1839. Thus, immigrants arriving in Baltimore could take the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad as far west as possible, and then they could finish their journey on the National Road. By the end of 1852, the B&O Railroad service reached Wheeling. See “Primer on Emigration, Immigration & Associated Subjects”, “Tips for Determining Your Ancestor’s Probable Port of Arrival”, and “City of Baltimore Comprehensive Master Plan – The History of Baltimore” for general information on immigration.〕 Although Hessians had been making glass since the Middle Ages,〔Hessian glassmaking is exhibited in Germany's Immenhausen Glass Museum. (Museum )〕 it is not known if the Crimmel family members learned glassmaking skills in Europe. However, Henry Crimmel’s father and both brothers were also glassmakers.〔In addition, to various books and articles on glass that mention the Crimmels, the 1870 (among others) U.S. Census lists John, Henry, and Jacob Crimmel as glassblowers living at different addresses in Bellaire, Ohio (across the river from Wheeling). ( H.Crimmel 1880 ) Henry's father, Johannes, was employed in the glass business -- see page 1 of A. Clyde Crimmel's ''The Glass Business and the Crimmels.''〕 Germans were being recruited to work in glass factories during the 1850s. By the 1870s, family members lived across the river from Wheeling in Bellaire, Ohio.
