My second great-grandfather John Riley Deweese served as Welch Township Republican Committee Chairman in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri for most of his adult life. Besides holding party caucuses in his home, John Riley served as Road Commissioner in the 1910s. Residents mostly traversed the roads by horse and buggy. One of the mechanisms governments used to collect fees for road
This week my youngest son Caleb turns 16. I can’t believe it has been 16 years since I saw and held him for the first time.

Today would have been my maternal grandfather Gilbert P. עליס’ 100th birthday. Grandpa Ellis only lived to 85 but he imparted 100 years worth of wisdom into the 32 years I knew him.

Marie H. “Babe” Johannpeter was born in St. לוי, Missouri on June 17, 1903. “Babe” was the second child and first daughter born to my second great-uncle Julius “פעטער דזשולעס” Johannpeter and his wife Bertha Johannpeter nee Horst.

When I started researching the family history, I only knew about two of my great-grandmother Caroline “לי” עליס’ nee Johannpeter’s siblings. My grandfather told me a lot about his Uncle “שטיפט”, Julius Johannpeter. Grandpa lived with Uncle Jules from the time he left Missouri Military Academy in 1932 until he married my grandmother, Alvina Ellis nee Mosblech in 1938. גראַנדפּאַ
