I might add that the Rev Henry J. FIGGE and Rev Heinrich PIGGE were buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery in Ste. Gen. Co. I do not have any information on Revs. PIGGE's or FIGGE's that might have been buried in other counties. -----Original Message----- From: Janet K Cross [mailto:ckcjkc@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 9:13 AM To: MOSTEGEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [MOSTEGEN] 16 June 1883/Ste.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, July 7, 1883 DIED: On Friday, the 29th of June, of Cholera Morbus, Mary Ellen D., infant child of William and Laura SKEWES, aged 19 1/2 months. DARLING LITTLE ELLEN This little rose, a budding rose, Blasted before its bloom, Whose innocense did sweets disclose Beyond that flower's perfume. To those who for her loss are grieved, This consolation's given; She's from a world of woe relieved, And blooms a rose in heaven. S.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, July 7, 1883 A little professor has made his appearance and Mr. Joseph FLYNN is happy. Jas. J. WILSON was made a happy grandfather by the advent of a little boy at the residence of Chas. CALLIOTT, his son-in-law. The establishment of JENNY, ROESCH and LEHR on Main Street is in a fair way of being reinforced, for William's family has been enlarged by the addition of a young blacksmith. We congratulate, Wm. (I'm don't know which of the 3 is the Wm. mentioned. - sjr)

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, July 7, 1883 The celebration of the 4th was inaugurated on the eve of the festival in a manner that recalled old times and was in every way worthy of the occassion. George SEXAUER had planted a number of tall sycamores in front of his saloon on 3rd and Market streets, thereby transforming his saloon into a bower. George undoubtedly knows what is becoming in such cases. Leon JOKERST had offered the roof of his house to the band and from that elevated station the Progressive Cornet Band sent sweet strains by torch light. Several citizens had flags stretched across the streets so that everything seemed to promise a regular grand old celebration of the nation's holiday, such as we had not witnessed for several years. On the morning of the 4th the sound of music awoke the inhabitants from their sweet slumbers, somewhat to the surprise of those who had forgotten to go home before they went to sleep. Cannon, mortars, culverins and other shooting irons woke the echoes of the Mississippi Valley and scared the small dogs out of their wits. At about 9 o'clock the music band turned out in their bran new uniforms and bran new band-wagon, with bran-new instruments (at least they shone like new) and, parading through the principal streets of the city, proceeded to the grounds. A large concourse of pleasure hunting people had come to town to witness the proceedings and were most cordially welcomed by their friends. On the grounds everything was done that could contribute to the general and hearty celebration of the nation's birthday. It was great pleasure to view the cheerful crowd enjoying themselves in various ways partaking of the good things set before them. The game of base-ball was duly played as announced, and the St. Louis boys beat the Ste. Genevieve boys 8 to 1 in 5 innings. In short everybody seemed to be determined to improve the occassion and make the most of what was offered, as it is doubtful whether such a chance will soon again be presented of celebrating the Fourth in such a worthy manner. Nothing marred the pleasure of the visitors and everybody went home satisfied and with the sense of having spent a pleasant day. A new law was enacted by the last State Legislature, requiring physicians, coroners, and parents to report all births and deaths to the Co. Clerk. As the law went into effect on July 1st 1883, and is perhaps little known, we give the following extract: Sec. 8 "Physicians, surgeons, and accoucheurs shall be required, under a penalty of a fine of ten dollars, to be recovered before an Couort of competent jurisdiction on this State, by indictment or information in the name of the State, to report to the Co. Clerk within thirty days from the date of their occurrance, all births and deaths which may come under supervision with a certificate of the cause of death and such correlative facts as the State Board of Health may require." Sec. 9 "Where any birth or death shall take place, no physician, surgeon or accoucheur being present, the same shall be reported to the Co. Clerk within 30 days from the occurrance thereof, with the supposed cause of death, by the parent, of if no parent, by the nearest kin, by the resident householder where the death shall occur, under penalty as provided in the preceeding section of this act." Sec. 10 "The coroner shall be required to report to the Co. Clerk of the Co., all cases of death which may coome under his supervision, with the cause and mode of death, under penalty as provided in section eight of this act." SCHOOL EXAMINATION The annual oral examination of the pupils of the Grammar School, conducted by mr. Joseph FLYNN, was held on Saturday, 30th ult., commencing at 8.30 a.m., and ending at 12.30 p.m. The order of exercises was according to the following: PROGRAMME Address of Welcome - H.J. JANIS Bible History Recitation, My Country - E.B. BAUMAN Spelling Essay, Gold. - J.L. BOGY Geography Recitation, He Never Smiled Again. - E.J. ROZIER Grammar Recitation, The Patriot Spy - J.F. JANIS Reading Recitation, The Ship of State - F.A. BOYER Mental Arithmetic Essay, Gambling - G.N. WILDER Penmanship Eialogue, The Letter - J.L. BOGY and H.J.

ROZIER History Essay, Printing - William VIEH Concert Recitation - Barbara FRETCHIE, Class Sam Weller's Valentine, Dialogue - W. VIEH and G.N. WILDER Bookkeeping Recitation, Over the River - Hy. J. ROY Essay, Alexander the Great - H.J. JANIS The Blue and the Gray, Recitation - C.J. STANTON The examinations in Word Analysis, Natural Philosophy and Algebra were omitted for lack of time. The exhibiton seemed to give general satisfaction to the large audience present, and was liberally applauded. At the close, Hon. F.A. ROZIER addressed the young students in well-chosen words on the necessity of cultivating integrity and industry in order to found respectability of character. His speech was a very happy one.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, July 7, 1883 Judge BANTZ's cellar was entered on Sunday night by a thief, who however, abstracted therefrom nothing but a pund of butter. The thief must have been familiar with the premises, as burnt matches lying around indicated that he had helped himself by the light of those modern lucifers. A stranger was put in the lock up on the 4th upon the charge of having tried to take a diamond pin from R. CUMMINGS. As the man is said to have been too drunk to know what a diamond pin was, his supposed intention may have been purely imaginative. He was discharged on Thursday morning. Washington JAMES respectfully informs his colored friends and the public at large that he will have a grand picnic at New Bourbon on the 4th of Aug. Accommodations, music, and refreshments will be first class. Everybody is cordially invited. There is no hope for our flood sufferers to raise anything of consequence on the submerged fields except perhaps a little cattle corn, and this is entirely inadequate to supply the loss caused by the flood. For a great many of the flooded sufferers it will be simply impossible to winter their stock. We hope therefore that the owners of the land in the Big Field will take to heart and do all in theri power to prevent the repetition of a calamity which threatens to make the bottomland of the Mississippi comparatively worthless. On the evening of the Fourth, the city marshal was informed that a man was lying behind Mr. Harry BANTZ's warehouse and was asked to investigate the matter in order to find out whether a murder had been committed. Upon arriving at the place, the officer found a man on his face, turned him over and found that he was covered in blood. Being asked what was the matter, he replied that he had been struck by a man behind a counter and that he would have revenge on him, which threat he repeated on Thursday morning. We have not learned whether the revenge has been taken or not. The case of SCHERER vs LINDERER for disturbing the peace came up before squire ROY on Monday. The state was represented by Vallee HAROLD and Henry S. SHAW and the defendant by A.C. HERTICH. The jury disagreed as to the verdict and another hearing of the case will be had on the 14th inst. T.B. WHITLEDGE was in town last Monday to appear as counsel for L.D. THURMAN, City Marshal, against whom charges have been brought before the City Board for misconduct in office. As no meeting was held, the case could not be tried. Mr. WHITLEDGE staid over till Tuesday morning. Mag LaROSE and Pete McCARTHY got too hot on the 5th and to get rid of the surplus calorie, ventilated it by hot words succeeded by a fist fight to the great amusement of the by-standers who probably thought it was quite a refreshing sight for a hot day. The marshal nabbed them in a twinkling and dismissed Mag, who gave bond for his appearance. Pete who resolutely refused to give bond, was put into the jail, but thought better of it after a little while, when sufficiently cooled down, to sign the required bond, upon which he too was released. Mr. WINKLEMAN, an attorney at Belleville, Ill., who is a large land owner in the Ill. Bottom, when he saw how the water threatened to destry the crops, went at it in a practical manner, hired men and teams and had dams constructed across the sloughs and other low places, and succeeded in saving most of the corn crop growing on his land. His renters, Jaspar PHIGLEY, Hy. THORN, Mr. BARBEAU and the BERNEAU boys, whose crops were saved by the prompt action of Mr. WINKLEMAN feel very grateful to their landlord and would, in an emergency, do almost anything for him. Here is an example, worthy of initation, men of Ste. Genevieve. NOTICE! Applications for Teaching of Public Schools at Ste. Genevieve, term ten months, will be received up to the 31st of July. By order of Board of Education. Karl A. MUELLER, Secretary

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, July 7, 1883 Onions were high this week. J.W. WILKINSON keeps the purest and freshest candies in town. Several saloon keepers have refused to take out dramshop licenses. Quite an excursion was expected from St. Louis but did not show up. Strike while the iron is hot. If anything shall be done with the Big Field, do it at once. Mr. THURMAN had several deputies sworn in on the 4th, but all passed off in such good order that no arrests were made. If you want a delicious ice-cold Water Melon, the first of the season, you can get one to-morrow at GEORGE SEXAUER'S. Look at John L. BOVERIE's store; it is worth looking at. The enchanter's (Jos. SIMON's) magic brush has transformed it into a palace. The city marshal found a brass door key on the picnic grounds on Wednesday. The owner can have the same by calling at his office. A suit brought before the squire's court by Mrs. GRAF against J. SALE for disturbing the peace was withdrawn by the plaintiff last Monday and the matter settled by compromise. Among the many visitors on the 4th, we noticed the jovial face of EBBRECHT of the SHEARLOCK Mills on the River aux Vases. Hy. is a good miller, which is proven by the position he holds. Frank and Lawrence JOKERST, who live a few miles south of town on the Telegraph Road, finished their harvest this week and we are pleased to hear that their crop was fully equal to last year's yield. The rock foundation for the new residence of Anton KETTERER, corner Merriweather and Lorimer streets, has been laid and the brick work will commence at once. Cape Girardeau Courier Mr. MENARD, the well-known mechanic who formerly owned the saw and planing mills on the North Gabouri Creek and Mr. FISHER, Superintendent of the Vulcan Iron Works, of St. Louis were on a visit at Dr. BERNAYS' for several days. The work of rebuilding C.F. BETTEN's residence, in Cape Girardeau, destroyed by fire last month, is progressing. A new roof has been put on the standing walls, and the building will be ready to receive its inmates again in a few weeks. -- Courier. A.L. LUNSFORD is the only representative of the American Insurance Company, of Chicago, which also insures against wind storms, tornados, and parties will do well to address him at St. Mary, Mo. FARM FOR SALE! A good farm of 300 acres, of which about 63 acres are under cultivation, with a cistern, a good orchard, etc., situated about 4 miles from French Village and as far from Lawrenceton, is for sale at a low figure. For particulars apply at the Herald office or address Adam BUENNIGER, French Village, St. Francois Co., Mo.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, July 7, 1883 LIST OF LETTERS Remaining in the Post Office at Ste. Genevieve, Mo., July 6, 1883. ARMBRUSTER, Chas. - BELL, Mary A. - BUSHART, Urich - BURTON, Anthony - BAUMAN, Lawrence - BEQUETTE, Peter - LENNON, Nancy - GASTTEMAN, D. or T. - HIRT, Bernhard - HAPPEl, Richard - JACOBS, Ed. - THOMURE, Mary L. - LEAT, Joseph - LIVESEY, R.C. - LEFEBES, Onizim - LENTON, A. - LALUMENDIERE, Eli - WALTON, O.M.O. Persons calling for letters in the above list will please say "Advertised."

It would seem that there existed both a Rev Henry J. FIGGE and a Rev Heinrich PIGGE as there are two tombstone records, graves very close to one another. The Rev PIGGE was born in 1844 and died 1912, where Rev FIGGE was born in 1911 and died in 1978. The interesting thing, though, is that there are many Figge's in tombstone records, but only one PIGGE .... and that is the now well known Rev PIGGE. This seems to match the 1910 census of a recorded 63yr old Rev Henry Pigge in Ste. Genevieve - though the age is a little off. -----Original Message----- From: Bernadine L Bishop [mailto:blbishop1201@juno.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 5:22 PM To: MOSTEGEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MOSTEGEN] 16 June 1883/Ste.

Henry Pigge appears in the 1880 census as age 36, clergyman, Ste.

Check out this article from 1930 concerning celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Figge's 50th wedding anniversary. Article indicates that Mr. and Mrs. Figge were married in 1880 by the "late" Henry Pigge!

I copied his name as it was in the newspaper, which was Pigg. I checked in Bartel's book of marriages in Ste. Genevieve and I find it in there as Pigg and Pigge. Perhaps someone in the area could check the church records for us. He is listed as the priest at St. Joseph's Church, New Offenberg Bartel's book of marriages has several marriages listed where Father Pigge was the priest, in one it states his name as Henry Pigge, Catholic Priest at St. Marys Church in Weingarten. In doing the abstracts from the newspaper I copied them just as they were printed, however, that doesn't mean they are correct as they often misspelled the names and in cases where I knew that it was definitely incorrect I followed the name with (sic) to indicate that it was not correct, and if I thought it was incorrect and was not certain I followed with (sic?). If you, or anyone else can verify whether his name was Pigg, Pigge or Figg, please let me know as I will correct in all the material I have.

Hi All! I just came across a message which was posted on the message board back in December of 2000 which contained a link to a website containing scans of original newspaper clippings from Ste. Genevieve. I just checked and they're still there. In light of the recent interest on the List in old newspaper clippings, I thought it was well worth re-posting. Those of you who haven't already discovered this page might want to check it out. Since the links are just numbers, a Ms. Johnson kindly prepared an index to the articles to give a hint as to what they're concerning so researchers wouldn't have to click on each and every one of them to find out. I've set that index out below. However, many of these articles have more surnames than are listed in the index so you might want to check each one out yourself anyway. Some of the articles, especially ones concerning family get-togethers, contained too many surnames to list on the index. Also, Ms. Johnson noted that some of the spellings on the index may not be completely correct. Most of these articles appear to be early 1900's. So......here's the link to the website. The corresponding name index is set out below. Note: When you get to web page, you'll be staring a blank screen. If you'll scroll down the page, you'll find the table of links to the scans of the articles. For some reason, it's positioned down on the bottom part of the page. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wrotfegate/gen/sg02.htm#SGE" INDEX TO SCANS OF ARTICLES: 802-01 Huber – Bertrand 802-02 Mrs. Chas.
