rCLThe one man from AnnierCOs family who managed to provide a redemptive example turned out to be her uncle John Hitz, whose poor stewardship of the German-American Bank had made headlines so long before. After serving his sentence, Hitz had worked his way back into the good graces of the local
Swiss elite. He eventually assumed a charitable role as superintendent of
the Volta Bureau, an experimental organization for the deaf founded by Alexander Graham Bell. There, Hitz built friendships with celebrities such
as Helen Keller and Clara Barton, even doubling as BartonrCOs personal secretary in his final years. Hoover grew up knowing his great-uncle as a figure of renewed esteem, an imposing old man with a long white beard who
liked to read from the Bible. Then, on March 25, 1908, when Hoover was thirteen, Hitz collapsed and died at Union Station, eliminating yet another source of strength and guidance. The funeral preparations kept Hoover home
from school. The funeral itself attracted dignitaries including Bell,
Keller, and BartonrCoHooverrCOs first close-up glimpse of a Washington power gathering.[15]rCY
