E.: Emil, as he was called, arrived in Castle Clinton, NY City, at the age of twenty on March 28, 1864. He worked first in a New York City cigar factory before settling on a position with the Sturmwald Paper Box Company, founded in 1846 by Raphael Sturmwald, a native of Bavaria. Five years after his arrival, Emil wed his boss’s daughter Emma on her eighteenth birthday with Wilhelm Poppe (1827-1871) signing the wedding certificate. They settled in Brooklyn, Kings County, and had 5 children, including 4 sons, all of whom eventually worked for the now Sturmwald/Poppe Paper Box Cy. at 9-11 Laight Street, Lower West Side, NYC.
Following a fire during the disastrous March 11-14, 1888, blizzard, the firm was moved to 83-85 Wooster Street, now located in the Soho district of Greenwich Village, NYC, and ultimately to Water Street, Brooklyn, close to the world famous Brooklyn Bridge. In 1917, his son Arthur had a staff of fifty.
Three of his grandsons served in World War II - one in France and Germany under General Patton (he was a prisoner of war in both Limburg and Moosburg near Munich until May 1945); one in the marines and one in the navy, both in the Pacific.
A very successful manufacturer, Emil and Emma were the progenitors of 97 direct descendants (as of 2002) - many of whom live today in NY, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Colorado and California. The most famous of these was Fredercik Christoph P. (1923-1996), a graduate of Princeton University, who founded the Poppe-Tyson Advertising Agency, the successor to a much smaller agency founded by his cousin, N.C Odell, the son of Emma J. O. nee Poppe, (1877-1962).
