🎓 Notable Individuals & Social Context

Professors & Academics

Prof. John S. Diekhoff – Almost certainly Prof. John S. Diekhoff of Oberlin College, known for his literary scholarship. His presence represents the strong academic current aboard.

Prof. C. W. Margold – Associated with George Washington University (Law), known for his advocacy in social policy. His family also traveled with him.

Military Figures

Capt. W. J. J. Eiger – Reflecting the frequent presence of retired or active officers in passenger service.

Capt. F. F. Fainter – was a Captain in the American Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F.) during World War I, illustrating military transits across the Atlantic. During the 1920s, Fainter obtained permission from the Secretary of War to write a history of the A.E.F.. This project likely consumed a significant portion of his time during that decade, utilizing archives, records, and maps from the Army War College.

Major E. A. Jonas – A high-ranking figure, suggesting business or diplomatic duties connected to military service.

Religious Leaders

Rev. W. R. L. Palmer – A clergyman engaged in spiritual service, likely connected with Anglican or Protestant missions abroad. His presence ties into the Minnekahda’s reputation for carrying clergy to and from Europe.

Physicians

Dr. C. P. Bryan, Dr. A. B. Randall, Dr. A. Roman, Dr. C. E. Smith, Dr. W. G. Wohl – The voyage included an unusually high number of physicians, reflecting the middle-class professional appeal of Tourist Third Cabin.

Dr. T. C. Graves - T. C. Graves first defined the "placebo effect" in a published paper in The Lancet in 1920. He spoke of "the placebo effects of drugs" being manifested in those cases where "a real psychotherapeutic effect appears to have been produced."

Dr. Carl L. Von Ende (1870-1934) - He graduated from the University of Idaho in 1893. He received a master's degree there the following year. In 1899, he received a Ph.D. from the University of Goettingen in Germany. Dr. von Ende was a demonstrator in Chemistry at the University of Idaho and then became a Science Teacher at the Brulington High School. Returning to the University, he served as instructor, assistant professor, professor, and finally as head of the chemistry department. Dr. Von Ende had been a research associate of MIT. In 1928, on his sabbatical leave, he went to the University College of Wales. He had conducted considerable research in physical and inorganic chemistry and had written widely on the results of his work. He translated Dolezalek's "Theory of the Lead Accumulator; and Abegg's "Electrolytic Dissociation Theory," widely read by scientists. He was a member of the American Chemical Society, the American Association of University Professors, and the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education.

🎭 Cultural & Family Travelers

The list also contains families traveling together, such as the Applebees, Chamberlains, and Cobbs, making it valuable for genealogists.

A special note goes to Miss K. F. Gallaudet, almost certainly connected to the Gallaudet family, famous for their role in deaf education in the United States — a fascinating highlight for historians of culture and education.

 

🎓 Mini-Biographies from the SS Minnekahda Passenger List (21 July 1928)

👨‍⚕️ Dr. Carl L. Von Ende (1870–1934)

Profession: Physician, Lecturer, and Medical Author
Nationality: German-American

Dr. Carl Ludwig Von Ende was born in 1870 and became known as both a practicing physician and an author of medical works. He published practical guides for medical students, including Examination of the Urine (1902), which became a staple reference for diagnostic practice in the early 20th century. His medical career placed him within the broader professional class that frequently traveled aboard ships like the Minnekahda.

By 1928, Von Ende had achieved recognition in American medical circles as a reliable authority on laboratory diagnostics and internal medicine. His presence aboard the Minnekahda highlights the professional mobility of physicians during the interwar years, when affordable Tourist Third Cabin travel allowed doctors to cross the Atlantic for research, conferences, and cultural exchange.

He passed away in 1934, leaving behind both a reputation as a teacher and a body of published work that bridged laboratory science and practical bedside medicine.

Engaging Detail: Passengers like Von Ende reflect how the Minnekahda became a “floating classroom” for academics and professionals. A doctor with both German and American ties, he embodied the cosmopolitan spirit of postwar transatlantic medicine.

👩‍🎓 Miss Katherine F. Gallaudet

Profession: Educator and Cultural Traveler
Family Background: Descendant of the prominent Gallaudet family, famous for pioneering education for the deaf in the United States.

Miss K. F. Gallaudet’s appearance on the Minnekahda passenger list is especially significant. The Gallaudet family name carries extraordinary weight in American educational history, tied to Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet (1787–1851), founder of what became Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. — the world’s first institution of higher education designed for the deaf.

While the passenger list does not state her exact occupation, Katherine’s presence strongly suggests involvement in education, cultural exchange, or social service. Women of her background frequently traveled for academic, religious, or humanitarian missions, and the Minnekahda’s Tourist Third Cabin service was particularly popular with such circles.

Engaging Detail: For genealogists and historians alike, her voyage offers a living connection to one of America’s most influential educational dynasties. To spot the Gallaudet name on a 1928 transatlantic passenger list is to glimpse the ongoing international reach of American reformist and humanitarian traditions.

✨ Why These Profiles Stand Out

Both Dr. Von Ende and Miss Gallaudet illustrate the “intellectual character” of the Minnekahda’s passenger lists:

A physician-scholar whose diagnostic texts shaped early 20th-century medicine.

A descendant of a landmark educational family, embodying the cross-Atlantic influence of American reform and culture.

Together, they bring the 1928 voyage to life as more than names on a list — but as representatives of professions and traditions that profoundly shaped modern education, medicine, and culture.

For genealogists – Names of families and individuals traveling together offer key ancestry leads.

For social historians – Provides evidence of the democratization of ocean travel in the late 1920s.

For maritime scholars – Highlights how the Minnekahda became a vessel synonymous with “Tourist Third Cabin” service.

🏁 Final Thoughts – Why This Passenger List Matters

The 21 July 1928 SS Minnekahda Passenger List captures a unique social snapshot of the interwar Atlantic world 🌍. Professors bound for lectures, clergy sailing to international gatherings, military officers on duty, and families pursuing dreams of travel — all shared the same tourist class space, eating together, worshiping together, and enduring the North Atlantic crossing.

For educators, genealogists, and maritime historians alike, it is not just a list of names, but a record of cultural exchange, professional mobility, and the broadening horizons of the 1920s middle class.

Curator’s Note

For over 25 years, I've been dedicated to a unique mission: tracking down, curating, preserving, scanning, and transcribing historical materials. These materials, carefully researched, organized, and enriched with context, live on here at the GG Archives. Each passenger list isn't just posted — it's a testament to our commitment to helping you see the people and stories behind the names.

It hasn't always been easy. In the early years, I wasn't sure the site would survive, and I often paid the hosting bills out of my own pocket. But I never built this site for the money — I built it because I love history and believe it's worth preserving. It's a labor of love that I've dedicated myself to, and I'm committed to keeping it going.

If you've found something here that helped your research, sparked a family story, or just made you smile, I'd love to hear about it. Your experiences and stories are the real reward for me. And if you'd like to help keep this labor of love going, there's a "Contribute to the Website" link tucked away on our About page.

📜 History is worth keeping. Thanks for visiting and keeping it alive with me.
