  BIOGRAPHY: http://files.usgwarchives.org/la/stlandry/bios/dietlein.txt DIETLEIN, Christopher, Bavaria, GER., then St. Landry Parish, Louisiana Submitted by Mike Miller ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.org/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.org/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** CHRISTOPHER DIETLEIN, OPELOUSAS.--Mr. Dietlein is a native of Bavaria, Germany, born in the year 1826. His father, John T. Dietlein, and his mother, Christina Hubert, were both natives of North Germany. By occupation, his father was a farmer. He lived and died in Germany. Mr. Dietlein was reared in Germany. At the age of nineteen years he emigrated to America, landing in New York, August 10, 1845. He spent two years in Pennsylvania and then removed to Louisiana. He located permanently in Opelousas in 1843, where he was for many years engaged as a cooper. In 1847 he was married to Mary Christina, who was born in Germany and removed with her parents to America. At the close of the war the mercantile business offering better inducements for the use of his capital than that in which he had formerly been engaged, in this Mr. Dietlein embarked and has since continued. He has one of the largest mercantile businesses in the place; he owns two stores, and he and his son are large stock holders in the First National Bank of Opelousas. Mr. Dietlein began business on a very limited capital, and his business capacity has manifested itself in the extensive business which he now conducts. He is the father of five children-three sons and two daughters. His eldest son, Antoine Dietlein, is associated with his father in business. Mr. Dietlein and his family are all Catholics.
