Dear Listers, I have been really enjoying reading and sharing all this interesting information on the breweries and metal foundries. Considering the number that existed in St. Louis in the latter half of the 19th century, it is not surprising how many of us who are descendants of German immigrants had a least one of our ancestors involved with the brewery in some way or another. My one maternal great grandfather was a clerk at the Lemp Brewery; several other members of my mothers side of the family worked for the brewery either as plumbers or on the bottling lines. My other maternal great grandfather was a machinist (tool and die). One of his sons followed him into the profession. I am not sure, however, for which company they might have worked.
