Family Connections Opperman

Although I'm not related in anyway to the Ruppert family , I once worked for a lady in Cornwall Vermont whose maiden name was Marie Antoinette Opperman--then married later to  a Mr. Crovat.   She told me that her father was connected to the Ruppert Knickerbocker Brewery.  I do know that she--and only child -- lived in Sharon CT when a child with an aunt and uncle after her parents died....Her mother died when she was 9 yrs old and her father when she was 16 yrs old .  I remember that she told me that her family lived on Riverside Drive, NYC..unfortunately I wasn't listening closely when she gave me the address and I never did ask her again.   She was born in 1898 or 1895 ( quite sure of this date ) and died in 1980 in Vermont.  I remember that she had a stein that had an impression ( intaglio?) of her father on the bottom. She and her husband were childless.  Just out of curiosity I've often wondered just how her family was connected to the Ruppert Brewery.  By the way, when my husband and I were tearing up an old part of our house I found an old, but battered Knickerbock Beer can.  I did keep it for awhile but unfortunately it was in terrible condition but I do have a beer bottle opener that says Ruppert on it !!...

Eichler Brewery

Although the Eichler Brewery is gone, the beautiful Eichler mansion is still in Morrisania used as an outpatient facility for Bronx Lebenon Hospital but is scheduled for demolition soon. Please contact me so we can seek the assistance of Bronx Historical Society to prevent the demolition of the only Reniesance Revival hospital in New York City.

Jacob Ruppert Schalk

To the Rhinebeck Town Historian:  My family still keeps in touch with a family that worked for Jacob Ruppert at Linwood until the early 20th Century, right before JRS took more and more of a leadeship role in its operations.  Also, the grandchild of the former superintendent lives in Rhinebeck.
