Polish (or Palisch) Off the Stueves

March 11, 2018

The last child of Johann Stueve was born on this day, March 11, in 1893.  Her name was Frieda Emma Maria Stueve.  Her mother was Maria (Wichern) Stueve.  Frieda was baptized at Concordia Lutheran Church in Frohna, Missouri. One of the fascinating aspects of this family is the fact that Frieda’s father was married three … More Polish (or Palisch) Off the Stueves

Youngest Marries the Oldest

March 9, 2018

A while back, I wrote a story that focused on a Lorenz family in Farrar that included several boys that played baseball.  That post was titled, Building a Baseball Team.  That story included the picture below which was said to have been taken around 1910. It was in that year (1910) and on this date … More Youngest Marries the Oldest

Heart-felt Support for Juli

March 8, 2018

Today’s post was written by Sally Thies Gustin.  A few weeks ago, we published a post about Ernst and Ella Arbeiter titled A Serious Worker at His Hardware Store.  In that post, I more or less challenged Sally to contribute an article for our blog about her Arbeiter/Estel family.  It did not take Sally long … More Heart-felt Support for Juli

Concordia’s Cigar Maker

March 7, 2018

Today’s birthday girl happens to be the missing person in a photograph that I have used on this blog before.  It is a picture of the 5 Harnagel brothers. In addition to these brothers, there was also one sister by the name Concordia (or Cordie) in this family.  She was the second born child of … More Concordia’s Cigar Maker

PK Marries PK – They Have More PK’s

March 5, 2018

I suppose I should start today by explaining what a PK is.  You may be aware that I was a Lutheran educator for quite a few years.  In Lutheran Teacher Lingo (or is that Lutheran Lehrer Lingo?), a PK was a Pastor’s Kid.  And over the years I had several PK’s in my classroom.  Today’s … More PK Marries PK – They Have More PK’s

Getting Facebook’s Attention

March 3, 2018

I am not writing my normal type of post today.  Instead, I’m going to get on my soapbox and do some griping.  No, I am not going to gripe about our faithful readers.  Our museum is absolutely thrilled with the response we are getting from our blog, which is now a little over two years … More Getting Facebook’s Attention

Gottseidank ist es Freitag

March 2, 2018

After writing these posts for a while now, I keep wondering if I will run out of stories to tell.  It has not happened yet.  In fact, I am amazed at how many stories that I run across that simply fascinate me.  One of my favorite hymns is “I Love to Tell the Story”.  During … More Gottseidank ist es Freitag
