My great grandfather Parker L. Zimmerman married three times. After a couple of months marriage to Victoria Harris during 1897 in Franklin County, Missouri, Parker moved to Bollinger County, Missouri to be closer to his family. His parents, Samuel and Sarah Zimmerman, lived in Dongola, Bollinger, Missouri. Op maart 31, 1902, 27-year-old Parker married his second wife, 22-year-old Mellie Bollinger.
De Mosblechs hebben zeer grote gezinnen in de regel. Mijn overgrootvader Eduard Mosblech was een van de twaalf kinderen. Eduard had veertien kinderen en zijn broers hadden respectievelijk twaalf en dertien kinderen. Hoewel ik nog niet in staat om de grootte van de andere twee families verifiëren zijn, zowel moeder en ik herinner me het op dezelfde manier. Grandma Ellis had
Frederick William Johannpeter (1839 – 1915) was my second great grandfather on my mother’s side. He died 4 months before the birth of his grandson, Gilbert P. Ellis, who was my grandfather. Since he died before my grandfather was born, I had very limited information on him, when I started researching the family history. Grandpa didn’t have any verbal history
My grandfather’s first cousin, Julius W. “Joe” Johannpeter, was one of St. Louis’ airplane pioneers. Julius, who was known in the family as “Punks”, joined the Air National Guard in the mid-1920s.

Rosa or Rose Elker was born in St. Louis on February 5, 1890. Aunt Rose was my great-grandmother, Magdalena Elker’s, youngest sister. Op zaterdag, September 22, 1906, the 16-year-old Rose was walking to her job at the Plows Candy Factory in St. Louis. Aunt Rose was walking about 8 am in the morning, when she started to cross the 18th
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 Archdiocese dedicated the church
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, when Mellie
