Louise was the daughter of George A. Dieterle, who worked with the family business, Union Distillery Co, Carthage,OH and long ago resided on 210 Hosea Ave., Clifton, Cincinnati [1907 Alumni Reg., Univ Pa, '07 C]. His wife, Louise's mother, was Elsie Fischer. Distiller, George F. Dieterle was her paternal grandfather. This family was of strong German heritage.

Louise was widely loved for her thoughtful, generous gifts, particularly to her beloved arts and her alma mater, University of Cincinnati, Clifton. Unfortunately, the turmoil between her Green Acres Foundation's ruthless, deep pocketed litigation and the dedicated west side historians and neighbors, rightfully hoping to preserve The Gamble House on Werk Rd. and its grounds, has created a controversial chasm. She did not act to stop the house's purposeful deterioration by neglect during her lifetime, whereas her husband maintained it immaculately.

Louise married Louis Nippert, nicknamed "Gus", a handsome graduate of Culver Military Academy, Culver, Indiana, and I would often see them visiting up there on alumni reunion weekends back when I was a young student and visiting my siblings who also attended.

Gus renovated James Norris Gamble's family home many times up until his death, and envisioned the house being preserved for young Mary's ultimate children. Sadly, Green Acres Foundation of Indian Hill, OH finally succeeded in the quest to demolish the historic home, April 2013-its gone; Carter Randolph believed that he was following Mary Louise Dieterle Nippert's dictate, as widely reported in the public records.

Louise, a soprano singer, left no issue of her own; but she helped to raise Alfred "Al" Nippert. Louise loved and nurtured Al's daughter, Mary, as her devoted granddaughter. Al Nippert is a much younger half brother of Louis "Gus" Nippert, with them sharing the same father but not the same mother.

It is written that Louise was a fourth generation Cincinnatian so offhand perhaps one or both of George F. Dieterle's parents also resided here (unless on Fischer, et al sides). She continued to own her family home at 210 Hosea; but, Walter E. Langsam, the renown "Architectural Historian & Historic-Preservation Consultant" of Cincinnati wrote in his online paper for the Clifton Town Meeting 2009 House Tour, that the home at 210 Hosea was built for Louise's grandfather, George F. Dieterle, in 1906. If someone knows the immigrant line(s), please advise and I will add it here.

The Singing Societies which the hard working Germans in Clifton enjoyed and their huge festivals at Music Hall, clearly cultivated her love of music. It is written that her father sang baritone in the May Festival Chorus. She was sent to boarding school in Switzerland and apparently spoke fluent German as well as French.
