Ste. Genevieve Herald, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, Saturday, March 13, 1886. --- By request, the Globe-Democrat's correspondents have reported the names of the six-wealthiest farmers in each county in the State, their estimated wealth, assessed valuation, taxes paid in 1885, in what their wealth consists, and how it was gained. Here is what the Ste. Genevieve correspondent reported: Ste. Genevieve county was organized in 1812; has an area of 440 square miles; assessed valuation for State purposes, $2,074,880. Its wealthiest farmers are: 1. John COFFMAN, of Coffman P. O.; estimated wealth, $150,000; assessed for $17,500; taxes paid, $130.30; owns land in this and other counties and live stock; inherited most of his property from his father, but lost all which was placed in the 150 slaves he owned at that time; increased his wealth largely by raising wheat and tobacco; engaged now in farming and stock-raising; Virginian; fifty-three years in county; Democrat; has served as County Judge. 2. Francis KREILICH, of St. Mary's; estimated wealth, $150,000; assessed at $8,365; taxes, $122.40; owns a farm in Ste. Genevieve, several farms in Illinois and Government bonds; wealth has been accumulated by increase in the value of land; commenced as a market gardener; made a profitable sale of coal land near Belleville, Ill.; he was born in France; came to Ste. Genevieve three years ago; Democrat. 3. Louis ZIEGLER, of Ste. Genevieve Township; estimated wealth, $25,000; assessed at $7,815; taxes, $114.90; owns lands and stock; started poor, and accumulated wealth by industry; native of county; Democrat. 4. Daniel KREITLER, of Staabtown, Beauvais Township; estimated wealth, $25,000; assessed at $5,350; taxes, $63.85; wealth chiefly in land; made his money farming; German; twenty-five years in county; Democrat. 5. Bernard BAUMAN, of Ste. Genevieve Township; estimated wealth, $20,000; assessed at $5,?98; taxes $61.15; made his money by farming; German; thirty years in county; Democrat. 6. Ignatius ROTH, of Ste. Genevieve Township; estimated wealth, $15,000; assessed at $7,375; taxes paid $94.80; wealth in lands, accumulated by farming; forty years in county; German; Democrat. The roads are generally dirt roads, but many of them are laid along gravel beds; a spirit of improvement is abroad and roads are being bettered; very fair as a whole. In Perry county the estimation is: Vincent CISSELL, $20,000; Andr. [Andrew ?] HUBER, $20,000; John LORENZ, $18,000; John A. HUGHEY, $15,000; Simon S. TUCKER, $15,000; George T. TUCKER, $10,000. We have seen no report from St. Francois County.

Ste. Genevieve Herald, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, Saturday, March 20, 1886. The Fredericktown Plaindealer authoritatively announces the name of Judge James D. Fox of that place as a candidate for re-election as Judge of this judicial district. We are pleased to see that Judge Fox has had the good judgment and firmness to turn a deaf ear to the political sirens who would lure him away from his chosen career as a jurist into the glittering mirage and pitfalls of political life. He was an able lawyer before his election as judge, and though many fine lawyers are failures as judges, Judge Fox has, during his term of office, which will expire this fall, shown himself to be possessed in an eminent degree of that rare quality, a judicial mind, which enables him to clearly grasp the essential and vital point in a disputed question and strip away by clear logical reasoning the cumbersome shell which the learning and skill of able lawyers are enabled to weave around it, and reason out a decision consonant with justice and right. Few, if any, of his decisions which have been appealed to the Supreme Court have been reversed, and it is seldom that the losing lawyer, after listening to the reasoning of his decision, fails to see the weakness and fallacy of his own position and acknowledges the justness and correctness of the decision against him. Hewing strictly to the legal line and letting the chips fall where they may, regardless of friend or foe, political or social influence, he has won the respect and confidence of the bar and general public to the extent that today he finds himself without a competitor or rival for the position. This is the greatest compliment that could be paid him, and is conclusive proof that he has proven himself worthy of the high trust the people have placed in him. Just and prompt in his decisions, firm in his determination that the laws shall be enforced, courteous but firm in his treatment of the members of the bar, he stands today in the front rank of nisi prius judges and is destined in the near future to adorn the Supreme bench. He has our most cordial support. May his career to ever upward and onward. Note: A "nisi prius judge" refers to a judge in a court of original jurisdiction as distinguished from a court of appeals

Ste. Genevieve Herald, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, Sat., March 20, 1886. COFFMAN ITEMS [By Jim Riffle] March 12, 1886. John Harter is sick. [Should this have been spelled Herter ?] James Burnette and Louis Thomure, of Pine Dale, will shortly remove to Dent County. Paul and Beverly Price, who have been attending school at the Cape, have returned to their home. The ball at Edward Bloom's last Monday was largely attended and well enjoyed by all present. Revs. Hale and Cummings conducted services at New Church last week; they had a number of additions to the church. Miss Laura Cheesebrough, one of our handsome young ladies, has gone to Libertyville to remain during the summer. We'll correct the error we made in our last correspondence about the closing of R. W. Clay's school; we should have said the 9th instead of the 2nd. John Gegg had a fine mare killed last week. He had the head of one of his mules chained down and the mare by some means got her head twisted in the chain, after which a struggle ensued and her neck was broken.

STE. GENEVIEVE HERALD, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, Saturday, Jan. 16, 1886. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT TO AN OLD LADY. Mrs. Wakeman Kellar, who lives near Coffman, Ste. Genevieve Co., met with a terrible accident last Tuesday morning, 5th. As she opened the door leading into the kitchen, a loaded gun resting on a rack over the door fell, and was discharged. It was heavily loaded with turkey shot, and the charge passed through the door, thence through one of Mrs. Kellar's ankles, literally tearing it to pieces, and thence on out through the weatherboarding of the kitchen. The ankle was so badly shattered and lacerated that amputation was necessary. Dr. Madison of Libertyville and Dr. Frank. L. Keith of this place were called to attend to the case, and successfully performed the operation of amputation Tuesday evening. Mrs. Kellar is [in] the neighborhood of sixty years of age, which, together with the severe shock to her system, renders her case quite critical.--Farmington Times.

Does any one know what grandma Eichenlaub name was and her husband priscilla padehler@aol.com

Yes, those are the parents I have listed for Veronica Grieshaber mg. to Nikolaus Jokerst. (See e-mail below for original reference.) Nikolaus was a brother of Michael Jokerst mg. to Zaezilia (Cecilia) Bahr - which is my line (on my grandmother's side). Michael Jokerst and Cecelia Bahr had a daughter, Mathilda Jokerst, who married William J. Fritsch. William was s/o Georg Fritsch who married (2nd of 3 husbands to) Maria Albertina Gegg. William J. Fritsch and Mathilda Jokerst had a daughter, 3rd in line of 6 children: Philomena Katherine Fritsch, who married Charles Ludwig Fischer. Charles Ludwig Fischer had parents Andreas Fischer (emigrated from Windschläg), and Caroline Ketterer (emigrated as a young child from Ebersweier). Caroline Ketterer was first married to William Jokerst, son of Andreas Jokerst and Kunigunda Grass. It is Caroline Ketterer's parents that I would like to clarify. From older family members research of census records that I have confirmed, I have them as Engelbert Ketterer and Crescantia (Creszensia) Basler. Apparently Engelbert and Crescantia only stayed in Ste. Gen. area for a time, then crossed the Mississippi where they lived and then died, maybe in O'Fallon or Trenton, Illinois. They had a son, Casimir, who joined them in Illinois, where he married Victoria Orschell. Caroline Ketterer (Jokerst) Fischer lived and died in Ste. Genevieve area after her immigration. She is buried in River aux Vases. There are two obituaries for her with conflicting information that I would like to straighten out. One was that she and Andrew Fischer had 9 children. This is incorrect, as identified with the 2nd obituary as Caroline had 6 children through William Jokerst, and then three later through Andrew Fischer (as noted in census records). Caroline is then listed in the obituary (that was wrong regarding the 9 children being Andrew's) as having parents "Mr. and Mrs. Kastmar Ketterer". Now I believe that also to be an error. I found a baptismal record for Caroline Zivilla Ketterer, d/o of Engelbert Ketterer and Crescantia Basler, in Ebersweier. She was born and baptized on 9 Jul 1846 and died 5 Nov 1935 at the home of her daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Naeger, at River aux Vases. But like so many others, her tombstone reads, by listing in Rob Beckerman's book, 11 Jun 1845 as her birthdate. That is over a year off, so wish that obituary had not made the error of Kastmar as I don't think there was any other person by that name except a brother to Caroline, Casimir Ketterer, born and baptized on 3 Mar 1844 in Ebersweier also. I'm now working on the Jokerst's and Siebert's from Bohlsbach records.

John, Thank you for that info. So then Charles Conrad was maybe ??baptized on 17 October 1853? I found that date in Lucille's Basler's Pioneers of Old Ste. Genevieve book. She had parents John Jokerst and Theresia Brown for the parents of Charles Jokerst married to Theresa Siebert, who had a son, Charles Conrad, listed with the date 17 Oct 1853. From my Bohlsbach files, I have a family sheet made up for a Johannes Jokerst, dayworker and citizen of Bohlsbach, who was married to Theresia ?Braun (my questionable translation on this name was Braun vs. Brown). This family had many children which I'm still researching, but two that I have baptismal records for are "Karolus" and "Joseph". Lucille's research lists the 1st marriage of Charles Jokerst to Theresia Siebert, and the second marriage being Charles' brother, Joseph, to the same Theresia Siebert, daughter of "Barthelemy Siebert and Odila Mertz". I have another family sheet made up for what I think is that Siebert family from Bohlsbach. The father is Bartholomaus Siebert, master tailor, but the mother I was unsure of the script, so I wrote the script in my notes the best (in duplicate form) I could from the original record, and I now can definitely see the last name being Merz and the first might be ? Blotilda? I'd have to go back to the original record to recheck names and get other opinions on this. I only have one child listed thus far for this Siebert family who was "Theres" born 9 Aug 1832 and baptized 10 Aug 1832. But that seems to match the following that I found in Rob Beckerman's tombstone books: Theresia Jokerst Aug 9, 1832 (Bolsbach) - Apr 3, 1900 (Ste. Gen) Nee Siebert next to Joseph Jokerst Valle Springs Joseph Jokerst born Feb 24, 1825 died Aug 6, 1886 at 61 yrs., 5 mo., 13 days, according to tombstone records, though I have: Joseph Jokerst born 19 Feb 1825 baptized 20 Feb 1825 in Bohlsbach. The "Blotilda Merz" is an interesting possibility - as a child of the 2nd marriage, parents being Joseph Jokerst and Theresia Siebert, was "Caroline Clotilde", as listed in Lucille Basler's book. So I wonder if "Odila Mertz" had different spellings. But then buried next to Joseph Jokerst (from Rob Beckerman's book) was: Othilia Siebert born Baden June 3, 1805, and died Ste. Genevieve Jun 3, 1887 next to Bartholomew Siebert born Baden Aug 25, 1803, and died Jan 1, 1880, at 76yr, 4mo, 7d Carol -----Original Message----- From: John Krussel [mailto:krussel@lclark.edu] Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 12:32 PM To: MOSTEGEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MOSTEGEN] Charles Jokerst Carol, Actually there is another.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Oct. 7, 1882 Genevieve, the little 3 1/2 year old daughter of Louis ROZIER of St. Louis died this week. The body was brought down on Friday to be buried in Ste. Genevieve. Grandma EICHENLAUB was found dead in her bed on Monday morning. She was apparently in full health on Sunday and tried to persuade her daughter, Mrs. ECKERT, to go the Fais with her husband, who left for St. Louis Sunday evening. The old lady was born at Bohlsbach, Baden, in 1812 and was consequently 70 years old. In 1832 she came to Ste. Genevieve Co. and has resided here ever since. She was the mother of nice children, of which four survive her. R.I.P.
