I don't know if anyone would be interested in any of this or if it is even appropriate to post this. I found a 1903 diary in which my grandfather recorded two months of entries, and the 1905 diary that my grandmother kept. Several of you have helped to track down the Kinloch office mentioned in Grandma's diary. I have taken notes on some places and thought perhaps some of you might find them of interest. My grandparents were William and Helena Gaul Weitz, who were married in St. Louis in 1905. 1903: "the Columbia" to a show Castle Square (I can't tell if this is a place or a performing group. My grandparents saw several different operas there or performed by the group) a dance at "the Benton" Mrs. Beucky's/Beuky's Dancing School Jim's Minstrel Show "the Century" Ellery's Band at the Music Hall a James O'Neill show 1905: different shows at "the Highlands" Compton Hill Church to "the Garrick, our new theater" the Victor office (my note: I am wondering if this is another telephone company office similar to the Kinloch office) beautiful music at "the Olympic" WCTU meeting at Anchor Hall dinner at Besch's Garden 8/27/1905 entry - one year ago they went to "the Fair" - the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis Grandpa went "to the ball game" (my note - professional baseball team???) to "the Alps" - to the orchestra saw a play at "the Odeon" Veiled Prophet Parade dance at Westminster Hall supper at Milford's Further information on any of these would be of interest. Thank you. Frances

Thanks. I had been wondering when the St. Louis world's fair was. My grandmother had told me she had returned to St. Louis for the fair as a youngster, but couldn't remember the year. ----- Original Message ----- From: <LuvKUHawks@aol.com> To: <GERMANS-STLOUIS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2004 4:40 PM Subject: [Germans-STL] 1903 & 1905 St. Louis > I don't know if anyone would be interested in any of this or if it is even > appropriate to post this. > I found a 1903 diary in which my grandfather recorded two months of entries, > and the 1905 diary that my grandmother kept.

Hi Frances: I'll take a line. <<Grandpa went "to the ball game" (my note - professional baseball team???)>> Since 1901, St. Louis had two major league baseball teams. The Cardinals and Browns. They both played at Sportsman's Park on North Grand. I'm sure there's plenty on the web - and probably for most of these. In my opinion, the best reference book for StL is "Lion of the Valley" by Primm - available in paperback - Amazon, etc. Have fun - you are lucky to have the diaries.
