Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Anthony Goessmann: Published Jointly by the Corporation and the Associate Alumni of the Massachusetts Agricultural College Goessmann of Fulda and later of Fritzlar, grandfather of Charles Anthony, was a judge of the higher court Of Electoral Hesse, lay administrator of the diocese of Fulda, and a man of much influence in his day. He was on intimate terms of friendship with Georg Fried rich Heinrich, reigning Prince Oi waldeck-pyrmont, great-grandfather of the present Queen of Holland, and the little summer-house in his garden at Fritzlar, where the Prince and he played their weekly game of chess and drank their cofl'ee, may still be seen. The wife of Judge Goessmann was Fraulein Kaiser, a woman of rare mental vigour and brilliancy. Of her three brothers, one established the chair of social law (now political economy) at the University of Graz; another became vicar-general of the diocese of Fulda; and a third was an officer in the imperial army. The latter, wounded at the battle of Wagram, was raised by the Emperor to honorary life-membership in the Noble Imperial Guard of Austria as a reward for singu lar bravery and courage. The three daughters Of Judge Goessmann were known to their contemporaries as the 'three beautiful sisters.' Two of them became ladies in-waiting at the court of the Electoral Princess of Hesse - Cassel, and married respectively Baron von Mumm and Baron von Borke, officers in the German army.
