Born as the first child of a middle-class family of Swiss, English and partly
African descent, Mittelholzer grew up as an ordinary West Indian middle-class boy
among stamp-collecting, silent movies, and tales of adventure....

how did mittelholzer die.'... was he the one who lit himself a-fire?
Re: German town Jamaica - ketchim - 07-12-2012
The manager of Plantation de Vreede was a Swiss-German, Herr C. Mittelholzer,
the first Mittelholzer, so far as anyone knows, to come to this part of the world.
He came from the canton of Geneva, but was probably born in Appenzell which is the
original home of the family.
There are two districts in Appenzell where the family was firmly established as far
back as the early seventeenth century-Rämsen and Mittelholz.
