Frederick William Johannpeter (1839 – 1915) was my tweede oupagrootjie aan my ma se kant. Hy het doodgegaan 4 maande voor die geboorte van sy kleinseun, Gilbert P. Ellis, who was my grandfather. Sedert hy gesterf het voor my oupa gebore is, Ek het baie beperkte inligting oor hom gehad, toe ek die familiegeskiedenis begin ondersoek het. Oupa het geen verbale geskiedenis gehad nie

Rosa or Rose Elker was born in St. Louis on February 5, 1890. Aunt Rose was my great-grandmother, Magdalena Elker’s, youngest sister.

Aunt Rose was walking about 8 am in the morning, when she started to cross the 18th
1909 was waarskynlik die ergste jaar van Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman se lewe. Hy verloor beide sy tien maande oue dogter Ida Mei Zimmerman en sy tweede vrou Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Voor Parker se dood in die 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”.

In 1909, Ollie would lose his mother, wanneer Mellie
