F.W. โยฮันน์ปีเตอร์ และ 1883 เหตุการณ์บาร์

เฟรเดอริวิลเลียม Johannpeter (1839 – 1915) เป็นปู่ทวดคนที่สองของฉันฝั่งแม่. เขาเสียชีวิต 4 หลายเดือนก่อนหลานชายของเขาจะเกิด, กิลเบิร์พี. เอลลิส, who was my grandfather.

เนื่องจากเขาเสียชีวิตก่อนที่ปู่ของฉันจะเกิด, ฉันมีข้อมูลที่จำกัดมากเกี่ยวกับเขา, เมื่อฉันเริ่มค้นคว้าประวัติครอบครัว. Grandpa didn’t have any verbal history on his grandparents. He lived with F.W.’s widow, Johanna, หรือ “Hannah”, after Grandpa’s father died but she passed away when Grandpa was five years old.

I did have one picture of F.W. and Johanna in a window behind my great grandparents William and Caroline “ที่กำบัง” Ellis on their wedding day in 1912. My mother had this picture in a group of family pictures she had from Great Grandma Lee, F.W.’s youngest daughter Caroline Leah “ที่กำบัง” nee โยฮันน์ปีเตอร์เอลลิส. Everything I know about F.W. is from official sources and a few newspaper articles.

F.W. was born in Bielefeld, Germany on January 7, 1839. He married Johanna Grieve on December 23, 1866. F.W. เป็น 27. Johanna was 23. A year later, their oldest son Gustave was born in Germany.

Their remaining 8 เด็ก ๆ, including Great Grandma Lee, the second youngest, were born in St. Charles between 1869 และ 1883.

It appears F.W. went by Frederick, Fred, William and most frequently in official documents and one of the two newspaper articles, F.W. Johannpeter. ไม่กี่ปีที่ผ่านมา, I found a reference to a F.W. Johannpeter being involved in a political brawl in 1883. The article didn’t have enough information to confirm it was my second great grandfather, so I initially dismissed it. อับ, I cannot find the original article.

While attending a local tavern, he began arguing with another unnamed “prominent politician”. It was not one of his opponents.

The prominent politician offered several opinions, which were not well received by F.W. A heated exchange occurred between the men until F.W. decided things had gone far enough. F.W. ended the exchange by bringing his beer mug down on the prominent politician’s head.

F.W. decided not to wait for the local police to intervene and exited the premises. The man didn’t press charges but the bad publicity couldn’t have helped F.W.’s campaign. One of his two opponents won the election. F.W. withdrew from politics and managed to avoid this type of publicity for the remainder of his life.

Most of the Johannpeters moved from St. Charles to North St. Louis in the early 1910s. F.W. died of heart disease while living on North 19th Street on February 21, 1915. F.W. เป็น 76 ปี.

People often tell you not to argue politics or religion. Now you know why.
