HERMANN VOIGT (born Jul-17-1857, died Feb-12-1922, 64 years old) Germany (federation/nationality United States of America) [what is this?] Hermann George Voigt, Jr., born Saxony, Germany; died Philadelphia, PA, USA. Five times Philadelphia city champion for the years 1891, 1892, 1897, 1898, and 1909. Voigt's father was born in Germany, but came to the United States and was duly naturalized. Later he returned to Germany and Voigt was born in Saxony, but when about 14 years old Voigt's father and all the family returned to the US. So that Voigt, although born in Germany, his parents at that time being naturalized citizens of the United States, was able to represent the US as a native born citizen and from 1899 to 1911 he played for the United States in their various cable matches with Great Britain.
