Louis and Martha – The Schlichting’s

May 5, 2023

Johann Ludwig Schlichting was born on May 5, 1880, so he is today’s birthday boy. He would be 143 years old if he was still alive. Most of his life, he was called Louis on documents, and I am thinking he was also likely called Lou. He was the son of John and Mary (Stueve) … More Louis and Martha – The Schlichting’s

Stueve-Steffens – The Threequel

March 23, 2023

In the movie industry, the term threequel is used to describe the third in a series of movies including the same cast and a continuing plot. I found a site on the internet that listed the top 20 movie threequels of all time. The series of movies that came out on top was The Good, … More Stueve-Steffens – The Threequel

March 1, 2023

This post, like the one published yesterday, highlights a person who was born in Perry County, but only spent their childhood here, and ended up living most of his life in St. Louis. Emanuel Heinrich Jungclaus was born on March 1, 1873, so today would be another one of those special birthdays. He was born … More Emanuel and Anna – The St. Louis Jungclaus’s

Herman and Rosie – Jacob, Illinois Kranawetter’s

February 23, 2023

I seem to be stuck in Jacob, Illinois these days. This is the third consecutive post that has had this town in Jackson County as the setting. The highlighted person in this post is Johann Herman Kranawetter, who was born on February 25, 1881. I thought he was born on February 23rd because that is … More Herman and Rosie – Jacob, Illinois Kranawetter’s

Arthur and Erna – A Pilz Pair

A previous story on this blog told the story of Arthur’s parents, Pilz/Stueve: Another Ridge Couple. Arthur was the 2nd … More Arthur and Erna – A Pilz Pair

Ed Fred and Ida Lena – Detjen’s from New Wells

January 16, 2023

When I hear the name, Detjen, I automatically think it is a name from Farrar. That’s because when I was a student at Concordia, Seward, a Detjen was a student there who was from Farrar. Now that I’ve spent time researching names in this area, I am aware that there was another set of Detjens … More Ed Fred and Ida Lena – Detjen’s from New Wells

John Stelling’s Popp

November 5, 2022

Today’s tale will highlight the marriage between John Stelling and Maria Popp that took place on this day 154 years ago. Because this couple then had 9 children, there are plenty of descendants from this couple. Let’s start by looking at John. Johann Christian Stelling was born on March 13, 1837, the son of Hans … More John Stelling’s Popp

Hopping Across the Mississippi River

October 24, 2022

The birthday girl for today is one of those persons who hops back and forth across the Mississippi on several occasions during her life. As I write this post, the Mississippi River is so low that people are able to walk out to Tower Rock, and it’s drawing quite a crowd to this area. However, … More Hopping Across the Mississippi River
