Surnames: Kaime, Mansur Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WMB.2ACE/4808 Message Board Post: The Washington Post, Washington DC., Sat Nov 11, 1911. p5 Laura Sherburne Kaime, daughter of George Kaime, of St Louis, MO, will come into a $5,000,000 inheritence in January, when she becomes of age. She will be the richest debutante in St. Louis. About $20,000,000 was left to the three children of George Kaime by their grandfather, Alvah Mansur, head of the Mansur-Tebbetts Implement Company, which was absorbed by the Deere Plow Company. He died in 1898. Each is to receive $5,000,000 when of age, and the balance when deemed capable of handling their estate. The trust will continue for the girls throughout their lives, and they will receive only the income. Should they marry they are to get $10,000 each as dowers.

Our records show he died in 1848 in St. Louis of small pox. Also, he was born in 1782 in Westmoreland Co., PA, so that would make him 100 in 1882! Our records show that his son travelled to St. Louis some time after his death and marked his grave, so hoping there is a cemetery record somewhere! Appreciate your help!

Hello Lister, I have been searching for my grandfather's brother, Otto STARCK or STARK. In the 1900 census he show 1859 arriving the US. In the 1869 St. Louis City Directory he lived in Hotel Garni, and 1873 at 1902 Closey. Can someone check the 1860 City Directory for Otto? In the 1900 Census shows he as naturatized. Can he be naturatized in St.Louis? Thank you, Alan Rossing, Monnterey, CA

I have a Michael J. Walsh married to a Catherine Mahon/McMahon. Louisa was supposedly related to her and when the Wild West show came to St. Louis, they all got free passes to go from Louisa. I know that Louisa was also from St. Louis and I have researcherd her some and found Irish surnames in her pedigree, so there could be a connection.

Caroline (born about 1817)and Sophia Charlotte (born about 1838) were listed arriving aboard the ship New Orleans from Germany, destined for St. Louis, MO. The ship docked in New Orleans in April 1856. I assume they were related, with family in St. Louis. Sophia Charlotte later married Ernst Kraft (or Krefft) in Madison Co. IL, on 13 January 1861, and they moved on to Kansas in the 1870's. They were my great grand parents. Appreciate any information or suggestions. Pat Cummins, thecomyn@aol.com

I have acquired a box of old family documents that were stored for many years rolled up. I'm afraid unrolling will damage them. Does anyone have any experience in restoring them to their flat status? George

My Fred Wenzel immigrated from Vienna, Austria in the 1880s. He left Austria to avoid inscription in the Prussian Army. Family lore states he went over the Italian Alps, gained empolyment on a freighter in Africa, and sailed around the world to earn his way into the U.S. He and his wife, Magdalena Heinz, lived in St. Louis during the St. Louis Expedition of 1903. My great uncle was born there. After the fair, they returned to Dubuque, IA., where my grandmother and the rest of the children were born. Would this help you in any way? Sincerely, Cindy Nielsen

As a person who worked for a large St. Louis company in Corporate Communications, contact them directly! Most big companies have a historical collection of information and are happy to give you info on the company. They typically produce anniversary magazine issues and other items that document the company's history. I know, because I did that for General American Life Insurance (now MetLife) in St. Louis. So call Brown Shoe directly and ask for the Corporate Communications/Corporate Relations/Communications department. I'm sure they'll have someone happy to share the company's history with you. And if this doesn't get you anything, email me directly. I have a friend who currently works there who can prod someone over there to action. Best of luck! Cheryl
