Unfortunately, this was not one of my relatives. (Or maybe, fortunately, I am sure this was quite a traumatic experience for that Scheel family.) There could be some relationship with my family since the spellings are so close. I do have a Frederick in my family history, but it is spelled with the extra "e" at the end. It got my attention because the Fredericks were born two years apart and both from St. Louis. My family has a Fred, Otto, Emil, Wiliam, Bertha, Adolph, and Thomas born around those dates. Are you related to a Scheele from St. Louis? I have only been at this genealogy stuff a couple of years. It is fascinating though. The facts and numbers are one thing, but the "behind the scenes" types of stories are what gives the facts their character and insight.
