He was the eldest son of six children born to Herman H. and Hannah (Ricksick) Menke, his father following the occupation of farmer and veterinary surgeon. Sailed to America in 1852, landing in New Orleans. The marriage of Mr. Menke occurred in October 1855, and united him with Miss Louisa Wulfmeyer, an accomplished lady residing in Quincy and daughter of Henry Wulfmeyer. They are the parents of six children: Amelia, William G., Edward H., John H., Anna, and Fred C. At the time of the writing in the book that I have, they lived at 300 South Twelfth Street.

Another note on Frederick William Menke....(Found in Bornmann's Sketches of Early Germans of Quincy & Adams County, IL) In this book it mentions that Frederick Wm. Menke founded Menke Stoney & Lime in April 1863. This company served Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. It also stated he came to Quincy in 1852 via New Orleans. For some reason (I did not notate why the date is important) I have the date 4/23/1967 or 1969 (unable to decipher if a 7 or a 9) listed by him.
