I am post another old story today. It was written during the first year of this blog, and is quite short. It tells about one of the original Weber’s who was part of the Gesellschaft. He died while many of the immigrants were biding their time in St. Louis waiting to make the last leg of their trip to Perry County. Two days after the death described here, there was a death in my Schmidt family. Eva Schmidt, not even 2 years old, died and was buried in St. Louis. She would have been my great grandaunt.
