| 804 | Fieker information provided by Fred and Carolyn Fieker It is being assumed that Carl is a brother of Ernst F. J. Fieker. This hasn't been researched for positive proof. Carl went by the name of Fred here in the states. It is the descendents of Fred, to which Charles and Ted Fieker belong. Charles has researched this line. Fred came to American in 1864. He is buried on the Maple Grove Methodist Cemetery, Mt. Vernon. Mo. Passport dated June 29, 1864. Some question of authenticity. Carl Frederich was 46 years old when applied for passport. His wife is listed as Martha Maria nee Kertz. Two children listed on this passport are Carl Friederich Ludwig born Aug. 26, 1851 and Carl Frederich Wilhelm born Aug. 30, 1863. This passport belongs to Ted Fieker family. Ted and Charles now living in St. Louis, Mo. (1997) Parents are assumed to be Friederidh Wilhelm Stallmann and Catharine Margaretha Ilsabein Husemeier. In 1978 Ted Fieker sent the following information to Fred and Carolyn Fieker: Friederich Fieker, born 1817 Minden, Germany. Immigrated 1864. Died 1893. Children with 1st wife Luise Lesemann were Christian, Henry, Louis, August, Caroline, and Maria. Children with 2nd wife Martha Marea Kertz were Maris (Horstman), Lydia (Wiese), Martha (Westerman), Anna (Blubaums) and Nina (Hagemeyer). | FIEKER CARL FREDERICK WILHELM (H.) (I11665)

| 805 | Fieker information provided by Fred and Carolyn Fieker HISTORY OF STALLMANN-FIEKER NAME. Friederich Wilhelm Fieker had the birth name STALLMANN. In this area of Westphalia, the farms had their own names, perhaps even more important than the individuals sur-name. If a young man married an only daughter or widow who had inherited the family farm, the farm still kept its name, or, to put it another way, the man took on the woman's surname. Friederich Wilhelm Stallman evidently did not inherit his father's farm at #75 Oberbauerschaft, married the young Catherina Ilsabein Fieker and when she died 4 months after they were married, Friederich Wilhelm Stallmann retained the Fieker place and the Fieker surname. There were no children by this first marriage. The children of Friederich Wilhelm Fieker and Margaretha Ilsabein Husemeier took the Fieker name. By blood line, this family of children were Stallmann's. We do not know how many brothers or/and sisters Ernst Friederich Joseph Fieker had.

| 809 | First, it helps to know that Unterluebbe was incorporated (exactly when I don't know) from smaller villages, including Hilverdingsen, wehre house Nr. 19 was located, and Hoefen, where house Nr. 33 was located. Sometimes they still use the old names, so Hilverdingsen 19 and Unterluebbe 19 are the same. Likewise, Hoefen 33 and Unterluebbe 33 are the same. My earliest records come from the village register*, as church records were very spotty before 1650 adn many were destroyed in the 30 years war. So the precise line is not completely certain, but the Nr. 19 line starts with Johan Schnake with the earliest village register showing him as head of household in 1572 and again in 1596. Then Engelke Schnake in 1631, assumed to be son of Johan but might have "married the farm". Then Herman Schnake b. abt 1620, assumed to be Engelke's son but again he could have "married the farm". Whether these precise assumptions are correct or not, it is sure that all Nr. 19 Schnakes descended from Johan in one way or another. The line from Nr. 19 to Nr. 33 is also based on some assumptions, as follows: A Schnake b. 1594 died in Hilverdingsen. Since there was only one Schnake farm in Hilverdingsen in 1594 (I have a complete village listing of all houses), this would seem to connect him with Nr. 19 Hilverdingsen and he would be probably a son of Johan, whom we know to be the head of household in 1572 and 1596. Of course he could also be a son of another Schnake, maybe Johna' brother, but this seems to tied him to teh Hilverdingsen line. Again this is not proven but is my theory. We know from church records that teh Schnake living in Hilverdingsen had four children in 1601. On of them was most likely this person. * "Hofstaettenfolge-Register des Dorfes Unterluebbe", Beitraege zur Ortsgeschichte, Heft I: Heimatverein zwixchen Berg und Bruch: Oberluebbe und Unterluebbe, Hille 1989.

| 815 | For many years they farmed in Pilot Knob Twp. in the early forties, Albert drove a milk truct for Goerge J. Decker.. Daily trips were made to the farms in the community picking up the cans of milk from the evening and following morning's milking, and then taken to St. Libory where a big truck from the St. Louis Dairy took the cans of milk into St. Louis. In December 1943 they purchased his late grandmother Mrs. Henry (Mary Harlan) Schroeder's home at the west edge of Oakdale. The Oakdale telephone switchboard was run from this home from January 1944 until January 1948. It was also during this time that Albert purchased his own trucks and hauled milk in the same way, and also lime, fertilizer, wheat, etc. for the farmers. Albert died April 23, 1955, and Agnes died January 4, 1978. They are buried at Concord Cemetery at Rice, Illinois. | IBENDAHL ALBERT FRED (I07445)

| 845 | FRIEDRICH KRUGHOFF COME, CHILDREN, LET US GO THE EVENING IS COMING SOON IT IS DANGEROUS TO REMAIN IN THIS WILDERNESS. COME-STRENGTHEN YOUR COURAGE TO TRAVEL TOWARD ETERNITY IT IS THE END THAT IS GOOD This was a favorite song. And, "Eben-ezer: Hither-to the Lord has helped us," was the life-long MOTTO of Mr. Friedrich Krughoff of North Prairie who, on January 1, 1910, at approximately 7:30 was called Home. On New Year's morning father Krughoff now entered a new Life as dawn came, as he closed his tired eyes to awaken to eternal Light, to everlasting Life. For him now was fulfilled his favorite song: "IT IS THE END THAT IS GOOD." Surrounded by his family whom he loved so dearly; and who were so devoted to the husband, father, grand-father, he, clear of mind, took leave and gently, peacefully slumbered to a better world; The Hereafter. With the turn of one year to that of another (New Year) came the end of his mortal life. Considering his age, Mr. Krughoff had engaged in and enjoyed unusual vigor; but during the last year some signs of infirmity began to show. Heart disease had developed and for the last four years (with the exception of last year) he had been very ill at Christmas time. In the last three months he was suffering more and more. On Thanksgiving Day he attended church for the last time. Last Thursday evening he complained of servere pain and the physician diagnosed this a severe inflammation of the lungs which his ailing body could not cope with. He understood how things were now, for he said on Friday evening: "This is the last night; now I am going home." He spoke loving words to his children; and, as his son Louis arrived from San Jose, he, being so ill and weak, nodded to his son to indicate to him that he recognized him. Soon thereafter he passed away. Friedrich W. Krughoff was born November 23, 1829, in Rothenuffeln, Preuss-Minden, Germany, and attained the age of 80 years, one month, and eight days. He was the second- oldest of a family of 12 children and came to this country in 1847, arriving in St. Louis on his 18th birthday. After a stay of one and three-fourth year he traveled to North Prairie which since that time has been his home. In 1849 his sister Christine, and in 1851 his brother Oberst L. Krughoff arrived. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Friedrich William Krughoff, as well as brothers and sisters, followed also to the new home the next year. On August 9, 1855, Mr. Krughoff was united in marriage to Miss Wilhelmine Peithmann who, for 54 years, lived with him in great happiness. The wedding took place in the home of the groom's parents, with the Rev. Maul of Plum Hill presiding. They were blessed with 10 children. During the 54 years there was never an instance of death in the entire family; it was the father who was the first who preceded all into eternity. His home-place, the Krughoff farm, became home of the married couple on January 11, 1857, and they lived there since (42 years) in the new dwelling over whose door-way was placed the following MOTTO: "EBEN-EZER." This house still stands on the farm land. Mr. Krughoff was a devout Christian whose religion was also reflected in his daily living. He was one of the founders of the local Evangelical congregation which was organized 55 years ago (Only Mr. Christ Wiese of Hoyleton is a surviving organizer of the church). As a young man he (Mr. Krughoff) was for a period of time a Sunday School teacher and was a Counselor in the North Prairie congregation which, at that time, was located on the Henry Hartmann farm. Later the Mother-church of Hoyleton Zion Congregation was organized in North Prairie, with a church located on the farm of Friedrich Wilhelm Krughoff, father of the now deceased. The latter was also a member. The two farms which have been referred to (the F. W. Krughoff farm and the Henry Hartmann farm) eventually became the Henry C. Kleeman farm. Mr. Krughoff was elder of the Evnagelical Zion Congregation of Hoyleton 24 years and, for 6 years was an honorary (senior) elder. He was distinctly honored and respected by fellow-citizens and was often appointed to deal with confidential matters. Honest and upright, friendly and obliging, Mr. Krughoff was well-known for his hospitality. He was a good citizen, trusted friend, and loving husband and father. Whoever knew him learned to treasure and love him. Mourning the loss of a beloved husband and father are, in addition to his widow, five sons and five daughters. They are: Maria, wife of H. E. Hoffmann; Elisabeth, wife of Charles L. Brink; Fred Krughoff of North-Prairie; Anna, wife of William Elmers of Moweaqua; Minnie, wife of Judge L. Bernreuter of Nashville; Louis Krughoff of San Jose; Lydia, wife of Frank Hake; Edward, Julius and Albert Krughoff of North Prairie. Also morning are 33 grand-children and 2 great-grand children; two sisters, the 82 year-old Mrs. Christine Nagel of North Prairie and Mrs. Louise Kleeman of Hoyleton. She is now gravely ill with bronchial inflammation. The mother of the deceased died in 1880 and the father died in 1887. The funeral service took place on Tuesday afternoon in the German Methodist Church in North Prairie. The Rev. Schroeder, Pastor of the Zion Evangelical Congregation in Hoyleton, had a comforting sermon based on I Corinthians 13, verse 13. Pastor F. Austermann had the English funeral sermon. Pastor A. Ludwig read a Bible passage; and Pastor H. Niederhoefer had the Prayer. Serving as coffin-bearers were: Hy. Hake, Hy. Hohmann, Gottlieb Struckmeyer, Christ Wiese, William Weigel and Fred Breuer. Close to his home where he had dwelt in happiness and with great blessings, he now sleeps toward THE MORNING OF RESURRECTION. (Translated from German.) ANOTHER TRANSLATION OF SAME MATERIAL: FRIEDRICH KRUGHOFF Come, children, let us go The evening is coming It is dangerous standing In this wilderness Come, strengthen your courage To go to eternity The end is good. This was his favorite song and "Evenezer: The Lord has helped us thus far" was the motto of life for Mr. Friedrich Krughoff of North Prairie, who departed on January 1, 1910, at 7:30. (1 Sam. 7:12 samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, meaning stone of help, saying "Thus far the Lord helped us." So the Philistines were subdued and did not invade Israelite territory again.) On New Years morning Father Krughoff went on to a new life; in his old age it became dawn and he closed his tired eyes to awaken in the realm of eternal light, that of eternal life. Through him his favorite song was fulfilled -- "The end is good." Surrounded by his relatives, whom he loved earnestly, by those to whom he was husband, father, and grandfather, he departed with full consciousness adn slumbered softly and peacefully in the better hereafter -- with the turn of the year came his life's end. For his age Mr. Krughoff had enjoyed unusual vigor, but in the last years he felt the frailty of age. Heart trouble had developed and for four years (with the exception of last year) he was deathly ill at Christmas time. In the last three months he suffered more and Thanksgiving Day was the last time he went to church. Last Thursday evening he complained about intense pain and the doctor confirmed dangerous pneumonia which the ailing body could not resist. He knew how it stood with him because Friday night he said: "This is the last night -- now I'm going home." He spoke loving words to his children, and as his son Louis from San Jose came in and he was too weak to speak, he showed by nodding his head that he recognized him. Soon after that he passed away. Friedrich W. Krughoff was born on November 23, 1829, in Rothenuffelm, Preuss Minden, Germany, and reached an age of 80 years, 1 month and 8 days. He was the second oldest of a family of 12 children and came to this country in 1847, settling in St. Louis on his eighteenth birthday. After a stay of 1 3/4 years, he moved to North Prairie, his home ever since. In 1849 his sister Christine followed him and in 1851 his brother Oberst L. Krughoff. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Friedrich Wilhelm Krughoff, and brothers and sisters came in the next year to the new home. On the 9th of August, 1855, Mr. Krughoff married Miss Wilhelmina Peithmann, whose happy marriage lasted 54 years. The wedding, performed by Pastor Maul from Plum Hll, was held in the home of the bridegroom's parents. The union was blessed with 10 children. During these 54 years there wasn't a single death in the family -- the father was the first to go on to eternity. The couple moved to the home place, the Krughoff Farm on Janfuary 11, 1857, and lived for 42 years in the new dwelling, over whose entrance his saying is mounted: Ebenezer. The old house is still standing on the farm. Mr. Krughoff was a devout Christian, whose religion proved itself in life. He was one of the founders of the local protestant parish, which was organized 55 years ago. (Now Mr. Christ Wiese from Hoyleton is the only living founder). As a young man he was a Sunday school teacher and admonisher in the North Prairie church which at the time stood on the Henry Hartmann Farm. Later the mother parish of the Hoyleton Zion parish was founded in North Prairie and a church was built on the farm of Friedrich Wilhelm Krughoff, father of the deceased, and teh latter was an active member. The two named farms now form the Henry C. Kleemann farm. For 24 years Mr. Krughoff was the director of the Zion protestant parish at Hoyleton and for 6 years has been the administrator.
