Hello List! I have a Vincent Wieland born in 1848 who is an iron molder. I was told that this person would be a tool & die maker. He is listed as an iron molder in many St. Louis City Directories, but there are gaps. After 1903, he is no longer listed in the directory, but I cannot find a resting place for him. I'm suspecting that he went to work somewhere. Does anyone out there know anything about iron molding or locations where St. Louis iron molders might have been employed from 1880 - 1910? His wife, a midwife, is not listed as his widow until 1919. Thank you for any insights, information, or help.

Several iron foundries in St. Louis. Carondelet was a big one.

Thank you, Bob. I'm thinking that he perhaps was sent to a foundry outside St. Louis when he became a foreman. I'd like to know if there were well known foundries in IL and outside St. Louis. Can you recommend a book?
