COMMENTS ON HERTHA'S PAINTING

Inspired by a lifetime of travel, Hertha Flack's recent landscape paintings are rendered in bold, rich color. Her work is most often in the impressionistic style, occasionally tending toward abstract. Ms. Flack, who has painted for over 25 years and has had several successful one-person shows, has exhibited in numerous states and is a member of several art organizations. She now works mainly in acrylics.

She has studied with Carole Barnes, Carrie Brown, Maxine Masterfield and Mary Todd Beam. Her home and studio are in Tryon, North Carolina.

June 1934, Hertha graduated from High School in Mt. Vernon. She had applied for admission to Swarthmore College.

SWARTHMORE SCHOLARSHIPS
The Flack Achievement Award, established by Jim and Hertha Flack in 1985, is given to a deserving student who, during his or her first 2 years at the College, has demonstrated leadership potential and a good record of achievement in both academic and extracurricular activities.

The Flack Faculty Award is given for excellence in teaching and promise in scholarly activity by a member of the Swarthmore faculty to help meet the expenses of a full year of leave devoted to research and self-improvement. This award acknowledges the particularly strong link that exists at Swarthmore between teaching and original scholarly work. The president gives the award based upon the recommendation of the provost and the candidate?s academic department. This award is made possible by an endowment established by James M. Flack and Hertha Eisenmenger Flack ?38.


SWARTHMORE 1938 YEARBOOK - HALCYON

HERTHA EMMA EISENMENGER
Lab haunting Hertha Emma Eisenmenger is the foremost product of Third East's ability to rouse sleepy heads, have its vertebrae counted, send forth a member with the right date near the right time all on a Saturday night. In return, the corridor may be favored with a wordless rendition of a new song, a constant supply of food, the thrill of having a night picture snapped from a rainy window sill. Appreciative of her roommate's kindness in explaining jokes and her leniency in the matter of lima beans, Hertha plays favorites, breaking a rule by remembering the roommate's name.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Education: 12th grade - home-schooled
• Residence: 1907, Newbern, Dyer TN; J.J. was orphaned at age 14 (Margaret Bruce died Abt 1901) and moved in his half-brother's family John Elisha Flack [listed as household member in 1900 Census] until he finished school. By another telling [see "Flack Family History"], J.J. moved into his nephew's house, J.P. Flack who was 20 and married. At 16 years old [according to his son Jim, but 21 according to daughter Ann], J.J. took a "horse, saddle, gun and a bag of money and headed south along the Mississippi River."

Other Events and Attributes:

• Education: 8th Grade Public School
• Married Name: Flack
• Residence: 1920, Baxterville MS; In 1920 Census, Flack household w/ Jesse James as head, Saw Boss, Logging Company

Notes:

Death Certificate has Louella Lenora's ("Nora") mother as "Caroline Lucas" (provided at her death by son James M. Flack), yet FamilySearch.org has "Frances Eugenia Mangum" as her mother.

According to "Chapters, Ann Heard family history" Frances Mangum (Lucas) died in childbirth with Nora. It's likely aunt Caroline Lucas (1853-1929) helped brother John Franklin Lucas (1882-1825) raise "Nora" and 6 other siblings --earning "grandmother" love from JMF. If true, Caroline was JMF's "great aunt".

On abt 18 Jul 1891, John Franklin Lucas's wife Frances died in childbirth with Louella Lenora "Nora" (according the "Chapter's, Ann Heard's family history).
It's likely that Caroline Lucas helped raise her brother's 7 children, to the point that Nora's children considered her their grandmother, apparent when James M. Flack listed Caroline as Nora's mother on her 1975 death certificate. Amazingly, Caroline had 10 children of her own with William H. Mangum. There's no evidence that John Lucas re-married.

John married Frances Eugenia Mangum in 1874. Frances (daughter of Henry Lee Mangum and Nancy Ann May) was born in 1857; died on 18 Jul 1891 in Mount Olive, MS. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

AUGUST EISENMENGER
(translated by Ernst Weber)

History painter, born February 11, 1820 in Vienna, died there on December 6, 1907. At the age of 15, he enrolled in the Akademie (Viennese Academy of Painting) but interrupted his studies in 1848 to join Karl Rahl and his atelier, who was in bitter competition with Carl von Blaas, who had received the order for the frescoes at the Vienna Arsenal in 1859. In his fight against Blaas, Rahl's other students Griepenkerl, Bitterlich, Lotz, Gaul, Fblix joined with Eisenmenger. On the other hand, the close friendship of Rahi with Theodor von Hansen was very fortunate because Hansen was very fortunate because Hansen directed many large commissions for monuments after Rahl's death to his students. Eisenmenger who was valued as the best student of Rala and who also was unquestioned master of wax mold painting, received the most important commissions. The first assignment was the decoration of the front entrance of the "Heinrichshof" with allegories and festoons using the last named technique; these paintings have been preserved rather well. In 1890 followed the ceiling frescoes (Apollo and the 9 Muses) in the large hall of the Musikverein, and then in the newly built City Hall of Vienna a depiction of the expansion of the city (beyond the raised city walls) and the apotheosis of "Austria". 1872 to 1874 followed the 12 frieze medallions in the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry, as well as the frieze "The Taming of Nature's Power by the Graces" in the Court staircase of the Court Theater (State Theater). Very remarkable are his ceiling frescoes in the Palais Gutmann (child presentations of the twelve months), the frescoes (The Graces and Peace) in the staircase of The Palais Tietz on the Schottenring, paintings from the life of Maximilian I and Leopold von Babenberg for the Chateau Hornstein of Archduke Leopold. 1878 he achieved his greatest success with the Aesop curtain for the theater in Augsburg, on which be memorialized his teacher Rahi in a Portrait.

1881 he created the "Triumph of Justice" a large cyclic frieze for the Palace of Justice; the "Development of the Modern Government" in the Parliament and as the last large commission a series of 50 medallions in the "Antique" halls of the Museum of Art History. Eisenmenger had also been successfully active as portraitist (portrait of Johann Strauss in the Museum of History of the city Vienna, and of Minister Duke Leo Thun, portrait in the possession of the Austrian Ministry for Education). For the Church of the Scots (Schottenkirche) he painted two altar portraits (Saint Benedict and Saint Gregor). He also created the design of Austrian banc note of 1 Gulden. Since 1872 be had been Professor of the Vienna Academy and director of a Master class of History painters and had a number of excellent students, all outstanding in the use of color. In 1901 he retired. He has been the last representative of that exceptional era who under Hansen, Ferstel, Schmidt, Rahl, Makart have created the new Vienna.

A well-know artist that painted the frieze in the Austria Parliament Building in Vienna

Notes:

Discovery of Escherichia coli
In 1886, after intensive laboratory investigations, Escherich published a monograph on the relationship of intestinal bacteria to the physiology of digestion in the infant. This work, presented to the medical faculty in München and published in Stuttgart, Die Darmbakterien des Säuglings und ihre Beziehungen zur Physiologie der Verdauung (1886) (Enterobacteria of infants and their relation to digestion physiology), was to become his habilitation treatise and established him as the leading bacteriologist in the field of paediatrics.
It was also the publication where Escherich described a bacterium which he called "bacterium coli commune" and which was later to be called Escherichia coli. For the next four years, Escherich worked as first assistant to Heinrich von Ranke at the Munich Von Haunersche Kinderklinik.
Professor of Pediatrics in Graz and Vienna (1890-1911)
In 1890, Escherich succeeded Rudolf von Jaksch, who had been called to Prague, as professor extraordinary of pediatrics and director of the St Anna children's clinic in Graz, where he became professor ordinary four years later. While working in Graz, he married Margarethe Pfaundler (1890-1946), daughter of the physicist Leopold Pfaundler. They had a son Leopold (born 1893), who died at age ten, and a daughter Charlotte (called "Sonny" - born 1895), who survived to the 1980s. Escherich made the Graz pediatric hospital one of the best-known institutions in Europe.
