Luke W. Gottshall (1899-1993) resided much of his life on Mechanic Street in the village of Reinholds, Pa. Reinholds is a small West Cocalico Township town in northern Lancaster County close to the Berks County border. He worked in Wyomissing at Narrow Fabric, a company that produced fabric rickrack (often spelled ricrac). Gottshall had one brother and three sisters. His sisters were Aquillia, Lizzie, and Vesta. His brother, Israel. All are buried at St. Johns Cemetery in Sinking Springs, Berks County. Israel operated a grocery in West Reading. Luke married Fannie Klapp (1891-1976) of Vera Cruz, a village along Route 897 near Reinholds. Her parents were Abiram and Mary Weinhold Klapp. Fannie was one of seven children and had an older sister by two years named Hattie. Hattie Klapp Brunner (1889-1982) had a near lifelong involvement in the antiques business. Her mother-in-law, Hattie Sweigart Brunner, was also an antiques dealer. Young Hatties first show was in 1926. She developed a national reputation within the business. She sold to countless collectors, notably Dr. Albert Barnes and Henry Francis du Pont. Later in life, around 1958, she took up painting and produced well over 500 primitive watercolors, primarily during her 70s and 80s. Her antiques shop in Reinholds was named the Tulip Shop. In the 1970s, she marketed and sold the work of her brother-in-law, Luke, and sister, Fannie. One of the things Luke and Fannie Gottshall made were framed collages. Brunner would supply Fannie and Luke with old calico for the couples collages, according to Gottshalls granddaughter, artist Barbara Strawser. The couple also inevitably secured material at Narrow, his place of employment. Many of the collages were bird trees made up of cutout fabric birds and embellished with watercoloring. Some were just watercolors. Gottshall paint-decorated the frames, often scratch decorating them while the paint was wet for decorative effect. Luke was also a woodcarver and made horse-drawn wagons. He was locally known as the wagon man and often signed his work with that nickname. He painted farm scenes as well. Fannie made calico stuffed birds, often using spools as bases and button eyes. Today, paintings/collages and wood carvings by Gottshall are sought after by collectors of Pennsylvania German regional folk art. Much of it was produced in the 1960s to 80s, and much of it is far superior to most contemporary folk art done during the heyday of the revivalist era. William Gordon Sleigh collected antique Pennsylvania German folk art but also Gottshalls work in the 1970s, and he was a regular customer of Brunners. Many pieces used for illustration purposes in this article were from the Sleigh collection and were purchased from Brunner. Luke and Fannies son, Walter (1921-2018), a World War II veteran, was also a folk carver. Walter carved, and his wife, June (currently age 100), painted the carvings. The couple did regional folk art shows such as the Reinholds Station Trinity Chapel show. Walter and June Gottshall had three children, including a daughter, Barbara Strawser, who is a folk painter in Schaefferstown, Pa. The couple will be the next focus article in my Profile in Pennsylvania German Studies series.
