******************************************************************** That slogan"Choicest Product of the Brewer's Art" appeared in their advertising and on their labels for a long time.

Hi Jim and List Well when Falstaff was around I to was to young. But I remember the fireman's picnic where you could go and get buckets of Falstaff beer and my dad was and avid Falstaff beer drinker.

A list of all the St. Louis breweries over a long period of time. My 3x great grandfather, Adam Legere Walter, was a Brewmeister in Alsace. One of his sons, Frederick Walter, a confectioner eventually came here to the US and settled in St. Louis. I do not know all the places Adam Legere Walter worked as a brewmeister. Most I believe were in the Alsace area of France/Germany as that area went back and forth between those countries. I am still researching that. So I found the stories of the brew history and family of St. Louis interesting. Thought you all might too given the last few postings. Laura

Christian's recollection is precisely as I recall the slogan.

The Falstaff slogan I remember was "The choicest product of the brewer's art". My recollection of the slogan is probably accurate, but it may have applied to some other (St. Louis) beer.

Jim, I was too young to go on any brewery tours, but I sure do remember how my Dad swore by Falstaff beer. Nothing else could put a smile on his face, except for a big fat cigar. I forgot, what was the slogan for Falstaff ? I think Dad actually had it painted on the basement wall near the bar that he installed, but I can't think of it now. Does anyone remember the Falstaff slogan? Sharon

Did anyone ever take the 1950s tour of the Falstaff Brewery in North St Louis? Remember how many faucets that dispensed beer throughout? Broom closets, hallways, restrooms, and even one outside near the lawn faucet. My buddies and I made the tour in 1953 and can remember the hospitality house. I think I remember the end. We were almost incarcerated for boisterous and loud talking on the way to the bus stop.----Jim

One thing that occurred with the typhoid epidemic of 1858-1859 is that many St. Louis cemeteries were filled to capacity and ceased to be used after that time. It is possible that St. Marks was one of these. Good luck in your search!

Dear Jean, I have that version but have not used it yet. If you get any answers that don't appear on the list, would you please post them. I have been a little leery of updating since I have so much stuff entered. Did you go from version 10 to 11? I have version 9 plus the patch or whatever it is called. With version 9, they had to make corrections before I even received the CD. Georgia jeanb wrote: > Hi! > Has anyone else updated to Family Tree Version 11 and had problems?

Dear Barbara, Dave Lossos' website for genealogy in St. Louis has a burial index 1847-1879 for St. Marcus United Church of Christ that was translated and indexed by Bob Buecher: http://genealogyinstlouis.accessgenealogy.com/Buecher4.htm Georgia Barbara Coakley wrote: > List: > > The Burial Certificate for my G-G-G grandmother who died October 1858 of > Typhoid Fever says she was buried at St Marks. > > I have looked various places and can't come up with a St Marks cemetery.

St. Mark's Cemetery in Granite City, Illinois is very close to St. Louis and may be the one you are looking for... There is one in De Soto, MO too... http://home.mindspring.com/~stmarks1/ one in Florissant http://www.netministries.org/see/churches.exe/ch01519 a link for St. Mark's Church in Clayton http://stlouis.missouri.org/neighborhoods/history/yeatman/churches27.htm link that tells its history starting in mid-town around 20th. (Note many churches had their own cemeteries that are not gone and those graves moved to other ones that happened to several of my relatives who were buried in the cemetery associated with what is now the Shrine of St. Joseph. That cemetery was closed and my relatives were moved to Calvary). For an interesting article about moving graves see this link http://genealogyinstlouis.accessgenealogy.com/Buecher4.htm an index for St.Marcus United Church of Christ burials from Dave Lossos' site http://genealogyinstlouis.accessgenealogy.com/ there is a whole section about 1/2 way down the main site (second URL listed) on Undertakers and Cemeteries. Good luck to you!

Hi! Has anyone else updated to Family Tree Version 11 and had problems? I recently did and am trying to get some sort of reply from "Genealogy.com" but so far all I get are prefab answers which do me no good. The program opens and after about 8-10 minutes, a small rectangle box appears with the word "close" in the bottom of it. Then, it is as if the program locks up and all I can do is close it. Then, I get a warning that the program didn't close correctly so I could lose information, etc. When I return to the program it always returns to the same page, not the page I was working on. And, often the information I just entered is not "saved." Has any one else has this problem? If so, please contact me. You can contact me off site if you wish. I have had FT since Version 4 and never had a problem before. Thanks. Jean

List: The Burial Certificate for my G-G-G grandmother who died October 1858 of Typhoid Fever says she was buried at St Marks. I have looked various places and can't come up with a St Marks cemetery. The closest thing I can come up with is St Marcus. Can anyone help?

Can anyone tell me who might have the records for Cullinane Funeral Home? When did they close? Thanks Madeleine

Greetings! Although most of the recommendations Ive read on this thread are good, as a certified picture framer and former art and framing studio owner, I feel I should clarify a couple of things. 1. Scanning and old photo in which the image has already been bleached due to UV exposure can cause irreparable harm to an already damaged image. In these cases, it is better to have the original photo professionally copied by a qualified studio (who should be able to do so without the concentrated light of a scanner) and the original preserved. Scanning old photos which are not already UV damaged should cause no harm, as long as it is not done repeatedly. One good scan, saved in a high resolution, should suffice. Personally, I save mine in multiple locations, just in case disaster should strike. 2. I personally display the originals of my antique family photos, but with a couple of considerations: mine are archivally framed with lignin-free mats and mounting boards, and glazed with UV-protective glazing. The latter is probably unnecessary in my own home, which is a bit of a cave as far as outside light is concerned, but which is very important in most locations. 3. When choosing framing materials, please note that not all mats labeled "acid free" really are. Crescent, in particular, marketed their paper mats for years with "Acid-free" stamped upon the back of each, despite the mats being proven as containing high levels of both acids and lignins, both highly damaging to artwork on paper in general, and to photographs specifically. The mats I chose for years were Bainbridge Alphamats, which are 100% acid and lignin free, and are used by a number of prominent museums in framing their own collections. They have a selection of them specifically formulated for the preservation of photographic art. Crescent also has a line of 100% cotton rag mats (which are softer than the Alphamats, and don't cut quite as cleanly) which are also buffered specifically for photographic art. And don't forget the backing board, which should also be archival - under no circumstances should non-archival materials be used in the framing package. A first-quality framer will even seal the inside edge of a wood frame, to prevent acid migration from occurring in the future. There are a lot more details in dealing with old photographs, and a great deal of information available to those with the interest. Just be aware that the primary reason for framing anything is to protect it from harm, and care and quality materials cannot be overrated.
