About Karl

Introduction

Karl was born in Germany and immigrated to the United States, living in Indiana when he passed.

(Note: death records give conflicting ages at time of his death (varies by a few years, local newspaper reports a Karl Goller dying in 1922 at age of 71 y.o., although the Karl Goller of this Bio was 69 y.o., possibly 70 y.o. at his passing), so there is some possibility that there were 2 different Karl Gollers of similar ages who died in the same location in the same year but more likely that the local newspaper got his age slightly wrong)

Also interesting, his tombstone (written in German) appears to make the initial "G" of Goller" into a "C" i.e., "COLLER" though the "Coller" tombstone is immediately next to his wife's tombstone clearly displaying "G" i.e., "GOLLER"

1853 - 1922 World Events

Refresh this page to see various historical events that occurred during Karl's lifetime.

In 1853, in the year that Karl Goller was born, in October, the Crimean War began. Allies the Ottoman Empire, France, Britain and Sardinia fought the Russian Empire in a war that began as a religious conflict but ended up being an effort to curb the expansion of the Russian Empire. The war ended in 1856.

In 1878, he was 25 years old when on June 15th, photographer Eadweard Muybridge - at the request of Leland Stanford - produced the first sequence of stop-motion still photographs. Stanford contended that a galloping horse had all four feet off the ground. Only photos of a horse at a gallop would settle the question and, using 12 cameras and a series of photos, Muybridge settled the question: Stanford was right. Muybridge's use of several cameras and stills led to motion pictures.

In 1888, Karl was 35 years old when Irishman John Robert Gregg published a pamphlet in the U.S., teaching his first version of shorthand - Gregg shorthand. When he improved on the first version and published it 5 years later, Gregg shorthand became popular.

In 1906, he was 53 years old when President Theodore Roosevelt received the Nobel Prize for Peace. The award was considered controversial at the time because many thought that he was an imperialist. But he had brokered peace between Russia and Japan a year previous and had allowed a dispute between Mexico and the U.S. to go to arbitration, resolving the issue peacefully rather than resorting to military conflict. For these two reasons, the Nobel Prize committee chose him for the Peace Prize.

In 1922, in the year of Karl Goller's passing, on December 6th, the Irish Free State, a self-governing dominion of the British Empire, was officially proclaimed. While establishing some independence for the people of Ireland, it did not create a fully independent Ireland and the fighting continued.
