Abendpost, Nov. 11, 1923

The Suabian Society celebrated, yesterday, the 146th anniversary of the prince of poets, Johann Christoph Frederich von Schiller, in the old fashioned style. The north side Turnerhalle was the meeting place of all sons of suabia, also of representatives of all districts of the German fatherland, who could not resist the payment of tribute to the poet of freedom. After a short introductory speech by vice-president Albert Burger, the Suabian Singing Society gave a few beautiful selections and the secretary, Henry Hieber read a letter from the great-grand-niece of the poet, in which she expressed deep felt thanks for the warm interest, they have taken in the Harbung Schaller Museum, after which the official speaker Robert wild, lawyer from Milwaukee, made a fine address which touched everybody's heart.
