Michael,I see this is a very old posting, but with no follow up, maybe you're still waiting for an answer.I have newspaper articles about the Stottlemyer chairs/ rockers taken from the Frederick Post of Frederick MD on Monday, April 24, 1995.Another article from June 1987, but it doesn't say what paper.These articles were copied and sent to me quite a few years ago and I've lost contact with the sender.But my suggestion is that you contact the Frederick County Historical Society, or the Maryland Historical Society if you haven't found any other source.You are looking for a James Stottlemyer, who immigrated from Germany in 1742 and settled in an area later namedMyersville, MD using the last of his name for the first of the city's name, or Christopher Columbus Stottlemyer, who established the factory in Myersville, MD in the late 1800's.
