Hi Madelyn: I saw this e-mail after I replied to your other one on Septimus. You posted this one about your Bader family and I am wondering if you may not be related to the Bader family I worked for in the early 1950s in Downtown St Louis. Was your family in the Art Supply business? I delivered Art Supplies for them in 1952 when I was a young and upcoming 17 year old rush about.----Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: SaeeIa@aol.com<mailto:SaeeIa@aol.com> To: mo-stlouis-metro@rootsweb.com<mailto:mo-stlouis-metro@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 9:42 PM Subject: [MO-STLOUIS-METRO] St. Louis Burials - Wives of Matthais Bader. Hello. I am trying to locate two burials, both wives of Matthias Bader, and both believed to be buried somewhere in St. Louis. Questions at bottom. Here is what I know. Matthias Bader, b. 1828 Dunstelkingen, Jagstkreis, Wuerttemberg, arrived on ship from Germany at New York Aug 17 1854. Family report says he went to Wisconsin - I have no confirmation of that, and have been unable to find anything that says so. He then went to Illinois. This I know is likely as he has a daughter, Anna, who came to St. Louis with him. So at some point, he married. Possibly Married 9 Mar 1858 Illinois or Wisconsin? Wife's name unknown. Anna Bader, b. abt 1865, accdg to census records. Matthias Bader Jr. B. 23 Jan 1869, St. Louis. [So I am assuming the first wife was here at that time.] 13 July 1869, St. Louis Married Maria Anna Leppert [Maria and her family lived in the hotel/boarding house he ran, she was the widow of Georg Hitzler, and had 2-3 children of her own, which I have not been able to track down. One was born on ship coming to the USA]. Margret Bader B. 5 Aug 1871 Joseph Bader B. 6 Mar 1873 George Bader B. May 1876 July 1876, moved to St. Clair Missouri soon after this. M. Christina Luchsinger Henry Martin Bader, b.18 Dec 1877 Joseph Bader, b 19 Oct 1882 John Bader, b. April 1884 Willam Bader, B. Dec 1889 The questions I am looking for answer to involve these. Who was wife number 1, where did they marry and when? Were Anna and Matthias the only children of that marriage? Where is wife #1 buried? Where is Georg Hitzler buried and when did he die? Where is Maria Anna Leppert Hitzler Bader buried and when did she die? Anyone have suggestions for searches? I've done mostly online searching since I'm not in the St. Louis area. I did try the catholic cemeteries that were online, and didn't find, but the name Bader gets butchered. I've seen it as Boder, Bader, Badger, Bauer, Buder, Beiter. Mathais is alternately spelled either way, Matthais, or Matthias. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
