According to family information, they had a daughter named Audrey LESLIE who married an ELLERSLICK of Overland, MO. I am working on descendants of Alexander M. "Sandy" Leslie of IL and trying to locate any further information on Audrey Leslie who was apparently born after the 1920 census and married a gentleman named Ellerslick. Thanks! Evelyn S.

I sent for the marriage license of Ernest Muller and received it yesterday. It is not my grandfather but I would be happy to pass it on to anyone looking for Mullers or (wife) Emma Merkle. They were married on 16 Nov.1921 in St. Louis, Mo. His age is listed as 61 and hers as 54. Note* on application her name is listed as "MRS" Emma Merkle so sounds like a second marriage and I do not know her maiden name. Perhaps this will be of some help to someone else. No need to pay twice for these copies, I'll be glad to forward to any interested party. thanks for the suggestion anyway. jm Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I don't remember what St Louis listthe question was posted but I have come across this article in the Feb. 29-Mar.1, 1964 St. Louis Globe Democrat. FAMED OLD RESTAURANT IN THE PARK One of the most famous of all restaurants and saloons in the area was that established within the boundaries of Forest Park, just west of the area where the Municipal Theater now stands. Once the Forsyth House, owned by Robert Forsyth, the home was remodeled and made into a refreshment lodge in 1875 and during the nineties was one of the most popular places in town - far enough out to make it a challenge for bicyclists, not so far that it took more than a day to make the trip. It was managed for many years by a genial gent named Charlie Schweickhardt, who succeeded in making it one of the great showplaces of the city. Hope this helps Madeleine

That page (http://stlouis.missouri.org/citygov/parks/forestpark/history/early.html) helps quite a lot, yet is also a little confusing, as the Forest Park Pavilion (now the site of the Lindell Pavilion, on the north side of the park) is probably not the same as the Forsyth home that became the Cottage Restaurant, which was said to be east of the zoo (on the south side).

I don't think I made it clear that there were two Erselius men, both born in Germany, both called Richard, though the younger was Richard Paul. Both came to England and lived in or near London, and both were basically gardeners. The older Richard died in England, but the younger ran off with the barmaid from the Cock and Ball, first back to Germany, then to Connecticut, followed by Pennsylvania. His widow died in Boston in 1948, but I don't know when Richard Paul Erselius died. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

It appears they are not. As for the Erselius name, I have been working hard on that side. I have always heard that it was Aurelius (like that of Italian Royalty) married with a Northern European Ersel. I now believe the Ersel part to be true as there is a town in the Netherlands I believe. I found an interesting German post below (see address) that talks about the second half of the name meaning tailor. This would fit in with the fact that in the 1860's there are address records for Erselius' Possibly Emil? who worked in Leather. This was the trade of Charles August Erselius in 1949 with the same job description. He was a Riemer Master. I think they meant Riemen, which is a belt/lace/strap. This was in Leipzig. The oldest name i could find was Otto Erselius who died in the Franco Prussian war 1886, although the war was from 1870-71. As for PA death records, Richard and Eliza should have received Social Security papers when the came through Ellis Island in 1923. I think Eliza (Elisa) died in 1951 and all i know about Richard paul was he was born in 1868. I really am not sure how they are related to Herman or Georg Erselius although I would not be surprised if they are Uncles or cousins.

We are trying to figure out if there is any connection between the Erselius family in England and the Erselius family in St Louis. I have found out that Richard Paul Erselius was born in Leipzig about 1865. His father was Charles August Louis Erselius--Karl August Ludwig, I suppose. He married Harriet Scutt and then Eliza Pearson, who went by many versions of her first name. Later Richard and Eliza went to the States, and I lose track of Richard Paul after 1934 in PA. Any ideas about how to find a death in PA at that time? There was a relative also in England, Richard Erselius, 1850-1905, who married Ann McIntosh. He was born in Leipzig too. Uncle? Cousin? Both men were in the nursery/florist trade. What is the origin of your Erselius family? Do you see any link at all? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
