What, please, are the meanings of "heimer" and "bund", and why were they so popular around 1900? I'll guess that the use of German was the result of the very large German population at the time, and I'll further speculate that the World Wars put an end to it. (I know it put an end to all things German in my father's family. Well, except for the beer.)
