    Before her marriage Herta was active as opera soubrette on a series of German stages, such as Breslau, Gotha, Darmstadt, Braunschweig and Mainz.
    It was about the turn of the nineteenth century. In a school in Oberusel, Hessen, the teacher had been given a "new" class and was busy finding out the names of the pupils and the social standing of their parents.
    With one little girl there seemed to be something seriously lacking about the occupation of the father.
    To all the friendly "coaching" byt the teacher: is he a shoemaker? or a baker? or does he own a shop? Is he an official? the answer was a dismal "nNo"
    At last she lost her patience:"Well, Your father must do something!" she snapped.
    "Oh yes" the little girl replied, both startled and relieved, "he sits in 'Falstaff' and drinks champagne!"
    The small girl was Herta Greeff, and her father Paul the subject of these lines.

    Herta married Joseph STAUDER on 30 Jul 1934 in Wildbad. Joseph (son of Kasper STAUDER and Maria Theresia WINKELMEYER) was born on 16 Feb 1897 in Radevormwald; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
