Jess Westergaard (LOC)

  • Wystan said:
    In the news in January, 1913: Jess Westergaard (also known as Jess Reimer) defeated Henry Ordemann in Minneapolis on January 7, 1913, and claimed the world's heavyweight wrestling title. A week later, he announced that he would become a boxer and defeat Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship in that sport. (Of course, he never did.)
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Wystan: Thanks for the additional information on Mr. Westergaard. We will add to the record when we update. On a related note, there is another image of Mr. Westergaard in his street clothes in the Bain Collection here.
  • Kimberly Perrin Young said:
    I am a decendant of Jess's.I believe he was my great great uncle. I have a book with all the wrestlers listed in it and his little black address book. This is the first info I have found on him besides what was past down through the family.
