Molitor Pronunciation

John Visser

Curious about Wooden Canoes
Just finished up this 1923 Molitor. Is it pronounced Moe-liter or moll-itter? Or some other way?

Nice restoration, I have always heard it pronounced with three syllables and each "o" is long, as in Mol-i-tor. Think of "monitor" with an "l" in place of the "n". I don't know how Charles Molitor's family pronounced it in the early 1900s.
