Hello Cape Listers, On the Ste. Gen. List was posted the following article. I'm very interested to know of any information on the Anton KETTERER listed in it. Actually, I'm interested in any KETTERER information from back in the 1800's as I've done some extensive "Germany" research on the Ketterer line that immigrated to Ste. Genevieve County. Engelbert KETTERER, married to Crescantia BASLER, immigrated in the early 1850's with their four children, Ludwig (Louis), Casimir (who eventually settled in St. Clair Co., Illinois, area), Caroline (married and remained in Ste. Gen.), and Agatha. They had another child, Maria Josephine, in 1854, born in Ste. Gen. Co. - who died in St. Francois Co. I lack any information on Louis or Agatha, so I'm wondering if possibly Anton was an offspring of Louis - especially knowing that Engelbert's father was also named Anton Ketterer (who married and died in Ebersweier, Germany). Thank you for any help on this one. Carol POSTED ARTICLE: Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, May 26, 1883 CORRESPONDENCE Cape Girardeau, Mo. May 16th, 1883 Editor Herald: On Friday afternoon, may 11th, fire broke out in the Phoenix Foundry, on Spanish Street, and before the flames were quenched, the foundry, KAGE's livery stable, Wm. BURGESS's house (occupied by Anton KETTERER) and the residence of Christ. F. BETTEN were in ruins. The alarm was sounded as soon as the fire was discovered and the old fire engine and hose cart, manned by willing hands, was promptly on the ground, and got ready for work. Just how the fire originated may never be known. On Friday afternoon, some of the workmen were casting, and it is probable that a spark from the cupola fell upon the roof and, before it was noticed had set the dry wood ablaze and, once started, the place burned like tinder. In the excitement that followed, the discovery of the fire, H.B. BURDGE was lost sight of by his fellow workmen, but nothing was though of it until all was over and the greater part of the crowd had returned home. Then inquiry was made, but nobody had seen Mr. BURDGE. Early Saturday morning, Claiburne BRYANT, a colored man, who had been employed by Mr. KAGE to look after and save what corn he could from the ruins of the stable, in looking around through what was left of the foundry, found some burned bones, a heart, liver, lungs and part of the intestines of a human being; the finding of Mr. BURDGE's spectacle case, pocket book jaws, convinced everybody that their worst fears were verified, and that he had lost his life in the building. The heaviest loss falls on Fuerth & Smith of the Phoenix Foundry. It is impossible to tell just what their stock was worth, as they had hundreds of costly patterns, the accumulation of years. Their place was worth, it is extimated by competent judges, about 10 or $12,000; they carried $4,500 insurance. The livery stable buildings owned by J.M. MORRISON, were uninsured; they were worth abot $1,000. F.A. KAGE lost about $50 worth of hay, corn and oats. Wm. BURGESS' building was insured for $700, which will about cover his loss. Christ. F. BETTEN's residence had only been completed about four months, cost about $1,400 and insured for $1,000. H.

Surnames: Dowty, Rodney Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2JB.2ACE/313.3.1.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Hello! Thanks very much for passing this along. I had no idea that Hannah, wife of Martin Rodney, had a daughter. This sure is interesting that her daughter married a Dowty because her granddaughter, Polly Rodney (daughter of Thomas), also married a Dowty. Did the deed happen to have the surname of SMITH as Hannah's maiden name? I have read that Hannah was married to someone before Martin Rodney, that she was a widow at the time of her 2nd marriage. So I have been a bit confused as to whether the SMITH surname was Hannah's maiden name or the surname from her 1st marriage. Since her son, Thomas (who is my ancestor), has Smith for his middle name it would seem that Smith would have been Hannah's maiden name, but I am not sure. I have even wondered if Thomas may have been from her first marriage and if that is the case it changes my ancestry. If you find out anymore about any of this I sure would appreciate you passing it along to me. Thanks again!

(My husband's ggrandfather was named Alexander Fletcher so reason for the interest.. he was b. KY in 1818 and married Jane Day) This site shows Alexander Morgan Fletcher b. about 1819, Russell Co, KY, died before 1880, father Matthew and mother Rachel M. Morgan m. 1- Hannah Kelley 2-Barshaba Wallace. The submitter was Claudia Nelson. Hope this is some help.

I have been searching for an ancestor for quite some time, haven't been able to find anything on him since the 1870 census when he would have been 17 years of age. His name was Paul Zwickelhubber when he came to America and in the 1870 census, later I learned he may have changed his name. Would someone be able to check the 1876 census for a Paul Zwickelhuber (Zwickelhubber) or Paul Hubber? Thank you so much for any help.
