Trio of Klemp Bachelors

February 28, 2026

I am going to tell today’s tale in a bit of a different way. I will describe the process of discovering different aspects of this story in the order of the steps I took. It all starts with me finding today’s birthday boy. Leonard Johann Adolph Klemp was born on February 28th. Different records will … More Trio of Klemp Bachelors

Museum Musings for Friday, February 27

February 27, 2026

I have another poem for you this week. This one took a little more detective work to find the full version, though. I saw it referenced several places with a stanza or two but couldn’t find the full thing. Fortunately, master researcher Fred Eggers came to my rescue and showed me where I could find … More Museum Musings for Friday, February 27

George and Lina Lambert – From Missouri to Montana

February 26, 2026

Today, you will read about a girl who was born in Frohna, Missouri, found her way to St. Louis where she got married, and eventually, she and her husband spent a bunch of years in Montana. I will begin with the Frohna girl. Lina Louise Heise was born on September 26, 1882, the daughter of … More George and Lina Lambert – From Missouri to Montana

The Other Schamburg Twin

February 25, 2026

On this past February 12th, I wrote a post about one of the pair of twins that were born on that date back in 1886. That post was Schamburg Filling Station in Perryville. Today, because his wife is today’s birthday girl, you will read the story of the other Schamburg twin. The last February 12th … More The Other Schamburg Twin

The Lydia Lueders from Ellisville

February 24, 2026

One of the main characters in my Wittenberg books is Lydia Weinhold who married Otto Lueders and took on the married name of Lydia Lueders. Today, you will read the story of another Lydia Lueders, one who was the daughter of Otto Lueders’s brother. So, after Lydia Weinhold got married, she became the other Lydia … More The Lydia Lueders from Ellisville

Henry and Bertha – Egypt Mills Sticht’s

February 23, 2026

The birthday boy for today is Johann Heinrich Friedrich Sticht, who was born on February 23rd. You will discover as you read that there are documents that will say that Henry was born in 1875, and others that say he was born in 1876. So, he is either 151 or 150 years old today. Henry … More Henry and Bertha – Egypt Mills Sticht’s

Henry, Liz, and Abbie – Lithium Lorenz’s

February 22, 2026

I have written quite a few posts about people who had the surname, Lorenz. In fact, I have classified some Lorenz’s as “Altenburg Lorenz’s” who were part of the original immigration in 1839, and I have classified others as “Farrar Lorenz’s”. Today, I will write the story of a man named Lorenz who I cannot … More Henry, Liz, and Abbie – Lithium Lorenz’s

Leo and Daisy – Lueders in St. Louis

February 21, 2026

Both the bride and the groom in today’s story spent brief times in the places of their birth, but spent almost all of their lives in St. Louis. The groom is tied into our German Family Tree. The bride is not, at least not until she gets married. I am going to begin with the … More Leo and Daisy – Lueders in St. Louis

Museum Musings for Friday, February 20

February 20, 2026

Two projects I have been working on have had me going through the many resources we have here at the museum that tell the story of the Saxon Immigration. While not being from this area and, in fact, not being raised in the Lutheran Church, may at first seem like a detriment to my job … More Museum Musings for Friday, February 20

A baby named Friedrich August Gerhard Lesch was born on February 19, 1881 in Altenburg. That makes today his 145th birthday, and he will be a main character in today’s tale. Gerhard was the son of Edward and Louise (Lamperter) Lesch. He was baptized at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Altenburg. We can take a look … More Gerhard Lesch – A Delta Guy
