"Karl Gotthard Stolper Americanized his name to 'Charles' and founded one of the first barrelmaking (cooperage) companies in Wisconsin, serving the beer industry and others. His two sons also Americanized their names.
Karl Gotthard Stolper (1832-1908) became 'Charles Stolper, Sr.'
Johann Albert Stolper (1868-1921) became 'John A. Stolper.'
Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Stolper (1872-1933) became 'Charles Stolper, Jr.'
Obituary, "Hardwood Record," 1908:
'Charles Stolper, Sr., president of Charles Stolper Cooperage Company and one of the pioneer coopers of Wisconsin, recently died at his home in Milwaukee at the age of 74 years from a stroke of paralysis. From a small beginning, Mr. Stolper developed one of the largest and best known tight cooperage plants in the country.'"
