1909 was waarschijnlijk het slechtste jaar van het leven Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman's. Hij verloor zowel zijn tien maanden oude dochter Ida May Zimmerman en zijn tweede vrouw Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Voor de dood van Parker in de Kaap Giraurdeau Tornado van 1949, he would bury two more of his children. Both of them were adults. I can only imagine how hard 1909
Op november 1908, three bishops and an abbot dedicated St. Francis de Sales Church, “the Cathedral of South St. Louis”. Built to serve the growing German Catholic population in St. Louis, the huge church would become the home to many families including my great grandparents, Eduard and Magdalena Mosblech, and their 14 kinderen. De St. Louis aartsbisdom wijdde de kerk in
Onlangs, I was searching for information about my Great Uncle Francis’ marriage to my Great Aunt Rosemary Kalt. What I discovered was an unexpected genealogy treasure, a picture in the July 5 editie van de St. Louis Star-Times of my great grandparents and 12 of the 14 Mosblech children. I had never seen a picture of my great grandparents, Eduard
Ollie J. Zimmerman was the third son born to my great-grandfather Parker L. Zimmerman and his second wife Mollie Bollinger. Ollie and his twin sister Dollie were born on either April 27, 1906 or April 27, 1907. Since Ollie’s headstone says “1906”, I’m going with April 27, 1906 as his birthdate. In 1909, Ollie would lose his mother, wanneer Mellie
Eugene “Gen” Augustus Johannpeter werd geboren op mei 20, 1908, Julius en Bertha Johannpeter. Hij was de tweede zoon van oom Jules en tante Bertha. Zijn oudere broer was Julius “Punks” William Johannpeter, Jr, die de mail vloog uit Lambert Veld samen met Charles Lindbergh. “Punks” was seven years older than Gene. My grandfather, Gilbert P. Ellis, leefden
Eduard Mosblech is my maternal great-grandfather. Eduard was born in St. Louis, Missouri on October 24, 1884, to German immigrants Gustave Mosblech and Bertha Mosblech nee Monse. Vaak geschreven als Edward, maar uitgesproken als het samenstellen van hulp en afdeling, Eduard was as unique as his name. Ik vond het lastig om veel over hem te schrijven vanwege de verhalen die ik over hem hoorde
Weken geleden, Ik was op zoek naar een exemplaar van Ivanhoe van Sir Walter Scott uit de oude bibliotheek van mijn grootvader. Opa GilbertP. Ellis had een bibliotheek die hij gaf me in het begin van de jaren 1990. Deze boeken en zijn bureau zijn schatten die bij me zal blijven tot de dag dat ik sterf. Als kind, Ik heb in de zijne gezeten
Gilford Dudley Story (1797 – 1870) is my third great-grandfather. There are six generations between the two of us. Ik heb onlangs informatie gevonden over de Story-familie, one of the branches of the family my research had not turned up as much information on. Voor de jaren, Ik kon mijn overgrootmoeder Dollie Zimmerman niet vinden
Last Monday, I was able to scratch a big item off my bucket list. I attended a Liverpool Football Club game in person. Liverpool FC came to my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri on August 1, 2016 to play a preseason game with AS Roma. My daughter Caity attended the match with me, which made the day extra special. Ik
Vandaag, Tam and I will be married twenty years. Helaas, life in Missouri is 20 jaren, so I hope she doesn’t want to apply for parole. I’m hoping she decides to keep me around for a few more years. Op juli 27, 1996, Tam, my mother and sisters prepared the clubhouse for our wedding later that afternoon. Ze zijn wijselijk bewaard gebleven
