is this list posting anything and I am not receiving or what?

The best way to check, when you have a concern regarding the possibility of missing postings on the list, check the Archives for the list and you will see the activity. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/MO-STLOUIS-METRO This way you can determine if you are not receiving postings and then contact me for help or re-subscribe yourself if you feel your e-mail address might have been bounced off the list.

I finally gotten around to upgrading one of my pages to include the names of firemen of St. Louis killed in action. I am seeking names of firemen that were from other municipalities (within St. Louis County) killed or mortally injured. The page also features the old 1877 St. Louis ballad of Phelim O'Toole, hero of the Southern Hotel Fire. O'Toole was also killed in action. So there will be music playing in the background (kind of Irish sounding it is) if one has a sound card with a player for MIDI files. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/county/stlouis/otoole.htm Scott K.

Good find. I had heard of it as Kenwood, but didn't know where it was.

Thanks with the help from Dennis Northcutt, we were able to locate "Kenwood Springs" as being on Natural Bridge in the Pine Lawn vicinity. I also did some census research and found the street address for the Leonard family whose home in Kenwood Springs is the featured photo this month.

Dear List Members, If you are interested in knowing about other genealogical mailing list available, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller's Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any Rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to [email protected] not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. If you are having problem and I do not answer you right away, know that I will. I like many of you work full time outside of my home. I am fortunate that I can check my e-mail any time I wish, but know that there are spaces of time I cannot. I always check my e-mail each and every evening and will respond to message as quickly as possible. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily pick out the surnames you are looking for. On the other hand when the entire message is in CAPS we feel that we are being yelled at. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now, the hardest thing is when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting from one from one of us. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at [email protected] or in the evenings at [email protected] 7. If your list has the gateway open, meaning the messages posted on the board also hit he list, know that every once in a while a SPAM message that is caught by the Board filter slips through the gateway and hits the list before it can be stopped. JUST DELETE IT. By responding to the list regarding he offending message, you just continue it on, and there is not one thing I can do about it at that point. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at [email protected] I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me. Kathleen Burnett List Mom [email protected]

I may be thinking about the brick factory at Mongomery City. My son married a girl whose ancestors came from Germany in the late 1800's and started a brick factory around the Hermann area somewhere.

Now what in the world is so weird about that? Those are St. Louis bricks, a piece of home - they can't possibly be duplicated in NJ! I love it when people do things like that, sentimental slobs are we all! I fished a brick out of a sidewalk around 7th Street years ago - (it was loose, didn't want anyone tripping on it) which my folks probably walked on many times. I have another large old brick from the tiny "lookout" built on the side of the riverbluff in Oakville, next to my cousin's house topside, which used to have a hunting lodge on it. I don't know what they were on the "lookout" for. This is 2,000' up from the RR tracks and the river. Both are on my mantelpiece, along with a brass plaque which says: ON THIS SITE IN 1897 NOTHING HAPPENED. In California, probably nothing did - except for the rare Indians who were left then, and a few pioneer farmers in this valley. I'm not even counting the onion fields which used to be here. T. Maureen Schoenky, Santa Susana CA

There was a brick plant in Wellsville, Montgomery County Mo. also. And the AP Green brick Co in Mexico, Audrain Co MO and Kaiser's made bricks also in Mexico MO. Also in Audrain Co mo there were brick yards at Farber Mo and Vandalia, MO. Most all closed now and so sad, this was the lifeblood of the community.!!!

Yes the one in Wellsville was still being used the last time I drove up Highway 19 to the Lake. but that was about 7 years ago.

The hydraulic Press Brick yards in St. Louis produced a daily capacity of 642,000 brick, or 192,000,000 per year (this was around 1904). And they were not the only company in St. Louis doing this but I think they were the biggest producers in the State. Scott K. Williams, History's Time Portal to Old St. Louis http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/county/stlouis/ St. Louis City/County USGenNet History Messageboard http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/county/stlouis/webbbs/queries/index.cgi

Many brick kilns burned in and around St. Louis. Hydraulic Press Brick Co. was one. I once got to visit the ancient brick plant (extrusion, not hydraulic) at Columbia, Mo. When the current to the drive motor of the mull became excessive, the mull operator added a little water; that is how the mix was controlled. The flying shear cut a whopping five bricks at a time.

Actually St Louis bricks were very good bricks though I think they were made out Hermann way. There was a brick factory out there somewhere.
