| 2851 | The Silver Beaver Award is one of three Nationally awarded distinguished service awards. Along with the Silver Buffalo and Silver Antelope awards, which recognize service to youth on a national and regional level, the Silver Beaver award recognizes service on a council wide basis. The first award for "outstanding and distinguished service to boyhood" was the Silver Buffalo, approved in 1925 and first awarded in 1926. The first two awards were presented to the Founder of Scouting, Lord Robert S. S. Baden-Powell, and to the Unknown Scout of England who introduced Scouting to William D. Boyce in that famous London fog. The Silver Beaver was the next distinguished service award created for recognition at the local council level. It was first awarded in 1931. The Silver Antelope, for service on a regional basis, was not awarded until 1943. The Silver Beaver award is the highest award which can be presented by the National Court of Honor through the recommendation of a local council. | GREIMAN MYRL (I12680)

| 2854 | The Story of Schnake or how the Gnats came to America Schnake: noun meaning 'gnat' or 'midge'. (from Collings German Gem Dictionary The Schnakes were most likely members of the wandering tribes of Germans who came into the Central European area during the voelkerwanderung who finally settled in the area of the Westphalian marshes. They derived their name, Schnake, from the gnats that inhabited the marshes where they lived. This is a story of the Schnake family in Germany and America. It is a story which should prove interesting to the many descendents of the first Schnakes---for, like the gnats of the Westphalian marshes from which they derive their name, the Schnakes have multiplied rapidly and have flown far from their original family home in the little German village of Unterluebbe, to teh distant land of America, and are now scattered throughout several states of that great land. CHAP. 1 - SOURCES OF INFORMATION FOR THE STORY OF SCHNAKE The gathering of information of the Schnake family and its background would not have been possible had it not been for several chance meetings which brought together the right combinations of persons, opportunities, and information. For many years, two branches of the Schnake family lived in America with only vague knowledge of the existence of one another. These two family branches were: (1) the descendents of Ernest Heinrich (Henry) Schnake, whose family center is in Illinois not far from St. Louis, and (2) the descendents of his nephew, Karl Ludwig Hermann (Herman) Schnake, whose family center is in Southwest Missouri. The meeting which caused these two families to make contact was a rare coincidence. Miss Winona Campbell, of Nashville, Illinois, great-great granddaughter of Henry Schnake, chanced to be at the First Methodist Church of Newtonia, Missouri, on a matter of Church work. Lawrence Schnake, a grandson of Herman Schnake, happened to be a member of that church. A discussions of family names led to the discovery that the two were related. The families began correspondence and began visiting one another. The other chance meeting ocfcurred between Doris Irene Schnake, daughter of Lawrence Schnake, and one Roy Johnson, who was soon to be a member of the U.S. Army stationed in Germany. The two were married in August 1965 and they left home to embark on the service career which would eventually lead them to the discovery of the Schnake ancestral home in Germany. Mr. Johnson was stationed in Bad Aibling, Germany, in October, 1957, and Mrs. (Doris Schnake) Johnson joined him there in the spring. The two decided to attempt to look up family records. Bits of information began to dribble in from relatives in the states to help in this attempt. Family legend gave the name of Herman Schnake's birthplace as "Bergkirchen", Church of the Mountain. This was some help, but there were several towns of the same or similar name in Western Germany. Then from the Henry Schnake branch of the family came the information that Henry's home had been Rothenuffeln, Kreis (township) Minden, Westphalia, Germany. This information led to the discovery of the Schnake home and records. First, a letter was sent to the Recorder's Office in the city of Minden, Westphalia, Germany, asking about Schnake records or any information relating to towns of the above names in the Minden township. Before an answer could be received, the Johnsons left on a 10-day furlough which was to include North Germany and the Minden area as the highest points on the "must visit" list. Arriving in Minden, the Johnsons visited the Recorder's Office in the City Hall. There was a Rothenuffeln in the township, but no Bergkirchen, "Church of the Mountain." The Johnsons were told that this was the place to begin their search, for the church there was the parish church for all the villages in that area and would have records on all inhabitants. Some information regarding German record keeping is in order; otherwise an American might wonder how some of the information which will be revealed was discovered. The Germans, like most Europeans, have an orderly system of record keeping on all inhabitants which is more elaborate and detailed than could be imagined here in America. Births, baptisms, deaths, have all been religiously recorded for hundreds of years, together with all sorts of surrounding and minute details--godfathers, pastors at baptisms, incidents such as catastrophes, etc., which occurred at about the same time--these things are all listed carefully and have been since before the United States of America ever existed. From early times to 1870, such records were kept in the churches. At that time Germany became a unified nation and recored keeping was transferred to the Recorder's Offices in the principal towns and cities. Once the right location was discovered, the rest was easy. Leaving the town hall at Minden, the Johnsons drove to the town of Berkirchen. Inquiring, they located the parsonage and met one of the ministers. Bergkirchen is now a dual pastorate, serving two areas with one church. He stated that he had received the letter and immediately picked out one of the heavy, dusty old church record books from a shelf. Turning to the year 1851, he read: "Karl Ludwig Hermann Schnake, born 10 September 1851, at 5:00 o'clock A.M. Father: Johann Daniel Ludwig Schnake, Mother: Marie Elizabeth Schnake, born Weihe, originally from Bickhorst: Parents home: Unterluebbe, house no. 19. Baptized September 17 at Bergkirchen./ Pastor at baptism: Linameyer. Godfathers: 1. Karl Hilkdebrandt 2. Hermann Juergens 3. Hermann Westel". Records verified the relationship between the Schnake families in America. Ernst Heinrich Schnake was born on June 22, 1819, in Unterluebbe at house no. 19. He was baptized June 27, 1819, in Bergkirchen. His wife was a Brink, and her address was given in the church books as Rothenuffeln. The most likely explanation of the family record of his address as Rothenuffeln lies in the local custom of primogeniter---the oldest brother inherits the entire estate in this part of Wesphalia; others must shift for themselves. Henry probably went to live with the Brinks in Rothenuffeln when his brother, Hermann's father, inherited the Schnake farm in Unterlubbe. The records showed further that the Schnakes had lived on the plot of ground at no. 19 Unterluebbe since 1600 and probably for many years or perhaps centuries before that date. Seeking out earlier records than this would present many difficulties, and time was not available for this research. The oldest church book in Bergkirchen archives (date 1600) had the following entry: "Unterluebbe, in the part of the village known as Hilverdingsen, Schnake, his wife, four children." Having discovered the above records, the Johnsons left the parsonage to explore the church and the ground around Bergkirchen. While they are exploring Bergkirchen, we have an excellent opportunity to review some information necessary for a full understanding of the Schnake history. CHAP. 2: THE HOME OF GNATS: LAND AND PEOPLE Sweeping across all of Northern Europe through Holland, northern Germany, Poland, and into Russia, the North European lowland Plain stretches unbroken from Amsterdam to Moscow unbroken except for two mountain ridges. These mountains are not high by the standards of the Alps of the Rockies, but to the people who live on the flat, marshy plains they are indeed impressive. the rides lie only a few miles apart: between them, the country is rolling. North of the northermost ridge, the Wishen Gebirge, the countryside is flat, only a little above sea level, and marshy. Chapping the Wishen Gebirge off sharply at its eastern and separating it from another ridge to which it was connected in prehistoric times is the Weser River, one of Germany's great waterways. The Weser break through point in this mountain ridge forms a spectacular pass which has some fame as a geological wonder. It is known as Porta Westfalica, the Westphalia Gap. The Weser flows north, through Minden a few miles north of the Gap, and into the North Sea at Bremerhaven on Germany's north coast. The river has payed a major role in the history of the area. Until recent years it formed the major artery of transportation adn communication. Although it is 80 miles inland, Minden is a seaport via the Weser, and wealth gained through trading caused Minden to be an important city early in German history. Minden and the other free cities of the Hanseatia League developed a spirit of independence that led them to resist force from the outside. Thus Minden was one of the first areas to follow Luther and become protestant, and to resist all attempts to force the area back into the Roman fold. Southwest of Minden and due West of the Westphalian Gap, directly atop the Wiehen Gebirge's ridge commanding a sweeping view to the North and the South, stands the "Church of the Mountain"--Bergkirchen. This church will naturally be the center of our story, as it was teh center of the lives of the Schnakes in Germany. On the flat marshy land two miles to the north of the ridge lies the village of Unterluebbe--birthplace of the Schnakes in Europe as far back into history as records extend. A mile east of Unterluebbe is Rothenuffeln, Henry Schnake's home before coming to America. Five miles to the North and West of Bergkirchen, the buildings of Minden can be faintly seen reposing on the winding Weser. According to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, Westphalia (meaning Western Plain) is an extension of the great North German plain, which is broken by outcrops of the underlying Cretaceous beds, and is not very fertile. The climate is temperate except in the South, which is cold in winter and has a heavy rainfall. Crops include grain of all kinds, peas and beans, buckwheat, potatoes, fruit and hemp. The cultivation of flax is very extensive, especially in the Northeast Minden. Swine, which are reared in great numbers in the plains, yield the famous Westphalia hams; horse breeding and the rearing of cattle and goats are also important. The Brittanica goes into much detail about the extensive industry of Westphalia. Much of it is centered in the Southwest part of the area, however, while Minden is in the Northeast. However, Minden does have a very important textile industry which has existed since the 14th century. As to the people, the Brittanica states, The people of Westphalia are mainly of Saxon stock and speak low German dialects. To understand this statement fully, we will need to spend some time on the history of the area. In Christ's time, the ancestors of the Schnakes were members of a group of wandering tribes of people, gradually making thier way Westward from what is now eastern Russia. They were pushed slowly westward by other peoples during the latter period of the Roman Empire, into central and western Europe. This groupof Germanic tribes roved over Europe for a time, raided and pilalged the existing civilizations, helped push the tottering Roman Empire off its weakened legs, adopted much of Roman civilization in the process, then finally settled down to become the ancestors of today's Germans, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, Englishmen, Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Austrians, and Swiss. The tribes which settled in the Westphalian area were members of the Saxon branch of the German peoples. Other tribes of the Saxons crossed into England, where, together with the Angles and Jutes, they became the ancestors of the Englishmen of today. Thus, today's English and North Germans are very closely related to one another, having sprung in part from the same Germanic tribe in the beginning. LANGUAGE Since there is considerable discussion and some confusion regarding the various dialects and the distinction between "high" and "low" German, some explanation regarrding this point in in order. The people in various areas of Germany today speak dialects fo the German language that are very different from one another. People passing from one area of Germany to another are hard put to understand their fellow German from another section only a few miles away, and a Bavarian could not understand a North German at all if each spoke in his native dialect. There are perhaps a dozen or more basic dialects in Germany today, with hundreds of minor dialects. All this in a land not much larger than the state of Oregon. In general, the North German dialects are spoken of as the "low German" dialects, since that area of the country is a lowland plain. The Germans refer to the speech of the people of the lowlands as "Plattdeutsch" or "Flatland german". The dialects fo the Souther portion of the country are ofter referred to as the "high German" dialects, since this is the highland section of Germany. There are several "high German" dialects, most of them quite different from one another. To confuse the issue, there has developed a type of speech which the Germans call "Schriftdeutsch"--"Script German". This type of speech is used on the radio, in university lectures, and is taught throughout the world in language classes as "German". Without this form of the language, which also referred to frequently as "high German," the people of th various sections could not communicate easily. Everyone in Germany can understand this type of speech, but many, especially the less highly educated, cannot speak it. It is a language that almost no German speaks at home--not even a University professor. This language became known as "high German" because some of the early German emperors favored the Southern German dialects and an official court language grew out of these mountain dialects. However, modern "script German" or "high German" is quite different from the "high German" dialects of today, which include Bavarian, Swabian, Tyrelese, and others. CHAP. 3: THE GENEALOGY OF THE GNATS: SCHNAKE FAMILY HISTORY Having filled in most of the background information you will need to know about the area and the people from which the Schnake sprung, let us return briefly to the Johnsons and see what they have discovered. After their short hike of exploration around the town Bergkirchen, the Johnsons returned to the parsonage. There they met the other minister of the dual pastorate, Hermann Havendell, his wife, and his secretary, Ingeborg Ewiedrich Pfarrer (meaning "pastor" Havendell was the elder of the two ministers and had served the Bergkirchen pastorate longest. He proved to be a wonderfully intelligent man, very helpful, and very anxious to aid in the quest for information for the Schnake records. He spent most of the day serving the Johnsons as a guide and lecturer,l telling them of the history of the area, and digging in the records for the Schnake history. The Johnsons stayed that night at the parsonage. The next day Pfarrer Havendell presented them with official documents with the Bergkirchen stamp, bearing the names and pertinant records regarding several of the Schnakes who were direct ancestors of Mrs. Johnson. He refused to take pay for his services or even to charge his usual fee for the official documents. The Johnsons gave him a small sum, which he would accept only when it was explained that it was for the church, and departed to continue their leave toward Holland. The information they gathered were the history of the Schnakes into the tapestry of German History in such a way that it could not be separated. To tell the Story of Schnake well, we must go back to the period which has already been mentioned--back to the time when the Schnakes were members of wandering tribes of Germans who came into the central European area during the period the Germans today call the Voelkerwanderung (emigration of the Peoples). These wandering tribes roamed over the entire continent of Europe. Some of them came into contact with the Romans in the South---they pillaged and burrned Rome and helped to deal the Roman Empire its deathblow. Others wandered into France and Spain. The Franks, who settled largely in what is now France, took on elements of Roman culture. Their religion became Roman Catholic and their speech borrowed so much from the Romans that French today is considered a Romanic rather than a Germanic language. The Saxons, the Schnakes undoubtedly among them, settled in Northern Europe. Some of the Saxons continued westward to England. It is interesting to note that the low German dialects of the flatlands are nearer to English than anby other German dialect. The word "twenty" for example, is twintig in low German, zwansig in Script or High German. In this case, low German and English are closer together than are low German and high German. The early Saxons were a heathen people, worshipping various gods. However, the entire future of the Schnakes and their Saxon countrymen was to be changed by a person named Charlemagne--Charles the Great, the most powerful ruler since the Caesars. Charles was a Frank, and the Franks, as we recall, had been converted to Roman Christianity. Charles was also a conquering warrior. He inherited a large kingdom in 768 A.D. and set out to enloarge it. His goal was to bring as much of the known world as psosible under the Frankish crown and teh Christian Church. He set out to subdue the Saxons, but they proved to be made of tough stuff. A local leader, Wittekind, held him off and became a Saxon hero. Place names in the Schnake neighborhood--such names as "Wittekind's Mountain", "Wittekind's Spring", etc., give evidence that much of the action took place near the Schnake's homesite--perhaps they were even involved in it. John l. LaMonte's Medival History describes the contest as follows: "In thirty years, they were eighteen campaigns in which the Franks would invade and conquer the Saxons, "conver" them the Christianity, and set up churches, which began to collect tithes; the Franks then withdrew; the Saxons burned the churches, killed the priest, and went back to paganism--and the whole business started again the next year or so." This process continued from about 772 to 804 A.D. Finally, Wittekind was subdued and Christianity extablished. Saxony came under the thumb of the Franks and Charlemagne. Charlemagne divided the lands of the Saxons into Westfalen meaning "Western Plain", and Ostfalen, or "Eastern Plain". Although the area is not now the same, this is the origin of the name "Westphalia"--the English rendition of "Westfalen". The church which stands atop the Wiebengebirge at Bergkirchen was founded, then, in about the year 800 A.D. during Charlemagne's conquest, by the local duke Wittekind. A saxon legend tells of the founding of the church. The gist of the legend is that Witekind swore to establish a church at whatsoever place God would give him water. He stamped his foot and out gushed a spring; he established the Bergkirchen church on the spot. The spring still flows in the churchyard and bears the name "Wittekind's Spring." It is sunk about twelve feet below the surface and is now walled; one has to descend a flight of steps into a well-like enclosure and "Wittekind's Sping: is a mere tricle at the bottom. A variation of this legend is that Wittekind was attempting to decide whether to accept Jehovah or cling to his pagan gods. He made the statement, "whichever God gives me water, him will I accept." The pagan gods gave no water, but when he stamped his foot in the name of Jehovah, the spring gushed forth, and he founded the church of Bergkirchen on the spot. A most likely explanation is that Duke Wittekind needed something to tell the superstitious peasants to justify the change in gods, and the legend was invented for this purpose. History tells us that Roman Christianity was forced on the Saxons, and that there was no question of Wittekind making a free choice. This, however, is only a guess and is not intended in any way to quell the romance of the legend of Wittekind's Spring. The coming of Christianity, however, did not change the life of the 9th century Schnakes to any great degree. The Schnakes were uneducated peasants who tilled the soil; the doings of kings and nobles were none of their affair. The new Christianity simply substituted a saint of the Church for the former local God. LaMonte's Medieval History describes it like this: "The horizon of the medieval peasant was a narrow one. While some sought and found the world outside, the majority began and ended their days within the limits of their own manor. Their food and their clothing were produced there, and beyond food and clothing they had few possessions. The steward of the estate was the authority they knew and recognised; count, king, and emperer were but vague rulers far beyond their personal ken. God was in heaven and the king was on his throne; but to the peasant it was the local saint and the local steward who represented religion and government; he obeyed the steward and prayed to the saint and did not bother his head with higher powers." LaMonte also states the "Peasants and livestock had much in common in the Middle Ages, they often shared their quearters and were both listed as the property of the farm which stocked both men and beasts." The church at Bergkirchen underwent several changes during the Middle Ages and early modern times. The original church was a wooden structure. History tells us that the early Christian churches were built on the model of Roman public buildings in what is known as the besilica form. They were rectangular buildings, with rows of columns marking out aisles and supporting a flat wooden roof. It is probably safe to assume that this was the form of the early church at Bergkirchen. There may have been more than one of these wooden buildings on the site of the present church; at any rate, it was five hundred years before a stone building was constructed. About 1300, the stone building which now stands was built on the exact site of the original building. The flow of ideas and events across the face of Europe through the next 650-odd years of time had left its imprint in the stones of Bergkirchen. The pastor today recites the history of Germany as he takes you around the church--here a window was remodeled to fit the architectural ideas of the Reniassance; there is a lamp, the only article remaining when the interior of the church was destroyed in the thirty years' war which ended in 1648. The windows, the roof, the interior have all changed, but the walls still remain, much as they were placed, stone upon stone, in 1300. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the church in Wurtenberg, and thus caused the second great religious change that occurred in the lives of the Germans. Soon all of Europe was in a religious turmoil between Protestantism and Catholicism. It is interesting to note that the areas of Germany which resisted the Roman religion in the beginning were the first areas to cast off Roman authority when the opportunity came. Thus the Saxons of Bergkirchen, who had clung to their pagan gods until they were forced to do otherwise, some 800 years before Luther, were among the first to accept the opportunity to break with Rome--and the church at Bergkirchen became protestant. This was no popular revolt sprinting from the people of the church; rather the prince of leader of each area would decide for his people, and a whole area would become Protestant. The the peasant farmers, it meant little more than a change of priests and, quite often, turmoil and was a between the religious factions. By the year 1600, record-keeping had developed enough that a record of peasant families was kept. This was called a "soul register". In the soul-register for the year 1600, the first written record of the Schnake family was found. Quoting from the official records signed by the Bergkirchen pastor: "In the soul-register of the oldest church book of the Evangelical Lutheran Church district of Bergkirchen, under Unterluebbe, Hilverdingsen section, is listed: Schnake, wife, four children." A glimpse of what village life was like during the seventeenth and 18th centuries is provided by Robert Lowie in his Toward Understanding Germany. There were differences in rank among the peasants, from the most important to the least. "Foremost was the Meier or Schulte, originally the headman of the settlement and economically characterised by the use of from six to ten horses in tillage. Theoretically, there could be only one Schultenhob or Oberhof, but as the headman's office decayed, the terms were applied to any estate of requisite size. Locally, the proprietor of a somewhat smaller farm was called the Hosner. Next came the owner of from four to six horses, the Volibauer (full-fledged peasant), also called Voellerbe (full heir) or Kolone. Below him ranked the cotter (Koetter or Halbhauer, half-peasant) with only one to three horses at his disposal and commonly obliged to go into service or to take up a trade--there were Westphalians who kept no horses at all, working their plots with oxen or cows, and who lived in a cottage called Stelle; it this stood on communal ground, the inmate was called Brinksitzer; if it was located on a full peasant's Hof (farm), he was an Einwohner, Einlieger, or Huerling (hireling). These designations varied in time and place, but half-a-dozen grades were obviously not uncommon." Lowie describes the means by which a girl is often married. The father hears of or knows a young man who has a good background and proper economic circumstances. He sends for the young man to put in an appearance. The daughter's are not consulted, but sometimes she does get to go along for the inspection (B'schan) of the young man's estate, where the father "carefully examines the dungheap, the table, the livestock, and the granery, He discussed the matter with his wife, never with the girl herself, and if all is well, a notary is engaged to draw up the contract, such an agreement was everywhere meant to be strictly adhered to; in about 1800, Westphalians cancelled weddings because the bride's parents refused to give up a copper kettle or a spinning wheel that had been stipulated in the bond." Anna Maria Engel Schnaken, the daughter of Johann Hinrich Schnake and Anna Maria Schopen/Schoper born Volkmann, was born 6 October 1745 at Hilverdingsen #19 near Unterlubbe. She was baptized on 8 October 1745 in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bergkirchen. Her baptismal witnesses were Anna Margaretha Heirsayer, Anna Maria Ilsabe Martin, Anna Engel Roffing. She married Tonies Hinrich Brink, the son of Tonies Heinrich and Trin Ilsa Brink nee Bache on 23 February 1773 in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bergkirchen.

| 2855 | The village register shows Toennies Schnake as head of hosuehold at Nr. 33 in 1682. But note that Hinrich was born at Nr. 33. Sot it looks like Caspar was living there b 1650. However, Toennies must have died without heirs, as the farm passed from there through Hinrich's son Johan. From there on we have church records verifying the line. (Previous records on this line have come from Rutter -- see * under ootes for Son Schnake. Roy Johnson | SCHNAKE TOENNIES (I17131)

| 2856 | The Washington County Kleeman's had their roots in Germany. In the early 1800's three brothers, Fred, Christian, and August, came to America and settled southwest of Hoyleton. Eventually August Kleeman and his family moved to Stotts City, near Mt. Vernon, Mo. Fred and Christian moved to North Prairie and farmed land that was adjacent or near by, and became a vital part of that community. They both married Krughoff girls, sisters, who had also come from Germany. The Kleemans and their family members have always believed in integrity, good citizenship, education, music, religion, and peaceful living. They have appreciated their homes and families, their neighbors, and the country in which they have been permitted to live. By: Harold R. Dude From: 1979 Washington County History book The three brothers came to America in 1852 with the Krughoff family. A history taken from a book entitled KLEEMAN FAMILY HISTORY by Rev. Norman H. Rahmoeller, 403 E. Main St., warrenton, Missouri 63383 in December of 1973. Even though we may wish we knew the future and what it holds for us, we are also interested in some of the past and the present. Most of us have some desire to know about our ancestors though we may not have enough interest to dig into the past enough to get the History and Family Tree. This document should have been written some years ago when many of the earlier generations were still alive. Since that ideal time has past, it is necessary to gather this information now, or else it will be much too late ever to do it. This History will not be complete as there will be some information still missing. In the years to come, perhaps it will be possible to add to thsi History. The Family Tree part is not complete because we do not have all the dates and facts of teh past and it changes each week or so with new additions to the Tree and also, unfortunately, changes due to deaths. It has been work to assemble the following information, but at the same time, it has also been fun and has had its reward in making new acquaintances and learning of new relationships not known before. This really began as a Family Tree of theAugust Kleeman Family. As I was working on the Rahmoeller Family Tree, my mother, Mrs. John Rahmoeller who was Laura Kleeman from home, was busy getting all the information of teh August Kleeman family of which she is a part. I have noted a great deal of overlaping between the Rahmoellers and descendants of August Kleeman. Just as my mother was busy getting all the information for this August Kleeman Tree, I became aware of a Mr. Albert Kleeman. He actually attended a banquet in the church I serve In Warrenton as an alumnus of a former college here in warrenton. With the name of Rahmoeller, he did not know that I was a Kleeman descendant and I did not know there was a Kleeman present. About a month later, when seeing a list of the names and addresses of those present here for the above mentioned banquet, I began to correspond with him and found that he was a descendant of a brother of August Kleeman - this brother being Friedrich Kleeman. He also informed me that there was a third brother in that family which came to America by the name of Christian Kleeman. Having visited Hoyleton, Illinois several times, I knew that there were many Kleemans buried on the cemetery in Hoyleton which did not fit into the August Kleeman branch. I soon discovered that many of the August Kleeman branch, which centers in southwest Missouri, would like to know of the Kleemans who remained mainly in the Hoyleton, Illinois area. Thus I took the liberty to ask Mr. Albert Kleeman for whatever help he could give to complete his brance - the Friedrich Kleeman branch - and the third branch of Christian Kleeman. He informed me of the fact that there was a brother to August, Friedrich and Christian who stayed in Germany and had a family. Another descendant of Friedrich Kleeman - mr. Reuben Westerfeld - gave me more information and the name and address of Mr. Karl Kuhlmeier who lives in Germany and a great grandson of Johann Kleemann, the brother who remained in Germany. In writing to him, I received a reply from his daughter, Miss Annette Kuhlmeier. She has given me all the information in this booklet of the Johann Kleemann branch. It has been a great thrill and pleasure for me to make the acquaintance of Miss Annette Kuhlmeier and I have a dream of making a visit to Germany some day and meeting her in person and her family and others of this Johann Kleeman branch. Even though this began as an August Kleeman Family Tree, it has developed into a Family Tree of Ernst Friedrich August Kleeman and his wife, Anna Katharina Elizabeth Rowekamp. In English, her last name would be written "Roewekamp". When the two dots over teh "o" , called umlaut, is dropped in English, the letter "e" is added. We have the information in the following pages because of the cooperation of many individuals. Without their help and cooperation, this booklet would not have become a reality. Some individuals have cooperated completely and quickly. Some have been rather slow but have helped us. Then, unfortunately, there were some who did not cooperate at all. I want to express my personal thanks to ALL who have helped to make this booklet possible whose names I may not know. I give special thanks to the chief gatherers of information - my parents (Mr. & Mrs. John Rahmoeller), Miss Hulda Kleeman, Mr. Albert Kleeman, Mr. Reuben Westerfeld and Miss Annette Kuhlmeier. One of the pleasures for me was to discover the number of ministers in this Tree. A sad note was the discovery that among the victims of the plane crash in 1961 of young ice skaters, were the two daughters of Otto Westerfeld. Also it appears that several died in wars, especially in the Johann Kleemann branch. The purpose of this document is two-fold. The first purpose is to give as much history of our ancestors as possible and known. The second purpose is to give as much of the vital information, as we have been able to gather, of each descendent and their spouse. This vital inforamtion includes the date of birth, the date of marriage, the person married, the date of death, the place of burial and the children, grandchildren, etc. The Form of Listing used in this document is the basic "outline" form, simply because it is the easiest form to use when duplication is desired. Thus, by using this method of listing of the information, it is possible to make many copies of this document. I am using a different color of paper for the pages of each major branch. I consider this Family Tree to have four major branches, since only four of the eight children of Ernst Friedrich August Kleemann and Anna Katharina Elizabeth Roewekamp married and had a family. Each of these four children will head the brances of this Tree. The order of listing under each will begin with the Roman Numerals (such as I, II, etc.) for the children of Johann, Friedrich, August and Christian. Following are the Capital Letters (such as A, B, etc.) for their grandchildren; then the Numbers (such as 1, 2, etc.) for the next generation; then the Small Letters (such as a, b, etc.) for the following generation; and finally, the Double Small Letters (such as aa, bb, etc.) for the next generation. The four children who did not marry and thus did not continue their branch, will be covered in the History and Introductory pages. A word need to be said about the listing of dates. Due to the lack of space on many occasions, dates will be be written out as far as the month is concerned. Thus dates will be given by numbers, which includes the months listed by numbers, such as 3/26/1928. To all of us living in America, this means March 26, 1928 and in this book, the first number in each listing will refer to the month. I mention this because our relatives in Germany normally list the date of the month first and then the month. As for Future Printings, it is my plan to print this entire document no sooner than 5 years and no longer than 10 years from now. The reason for this is the cost and the many hours it requires to type all the stencils and mimeograph the pages. Furthermore, there would not be that much advantage to a new addition every 2 or 3 years. However, in order to keep this document up to date, I have the desire to print and distribute a supplement to the owners of each of these full booklets. These supplements would be published perhqaps each 2 or 3 years and when kept with this booklet, it would keep this booklet up-to-date. I will need the cooperation of many individuals to publish each supplement. The cost of printing this booklet, plus the cover, totals around 75 cents, which does not cover any mailing charges and other expenses in getting this all ready. Therefore, copies are avilable through me for $1.00. I recognize that there may be some differences in the spelling of names due to German names being a bit different than English names. I recognize also that there may be some mistakes in the following pages. I cannot convince myself that a booklet like this can be printed without some errors, even though there is a proof-reading and other pre-cautions used. Some errors of spelling and dates may be due to wrong information received from individuals or church records. Other such errors will originate with me and the final printing. I would appreciate learning of any and all errors, so that this document may be corrected and become as accurate as possible. I apologize in advance for any mistakes or errors. May you have an enjoyable time in reading the following pages and may we have a feeling of being one large family covering the world as we read. THE HISTORY OF THE KLEEMANN FAMILY TREE This story has its beginning in Germany. As we shall see, some of it still remains there whle other descendants come to America and settled in the Hoyleton, Illinois area. One descendant remained in the Illinois area for only 32 years before moving to southwest Missouri in the Stotts City and Mt. Vernon area. Obviously, the descendants of following generations have scattered greatly. The name "Kleemann" or now mostly spelled as "Kleeman", has an interesting meaning. Individual surnames or last names originated many many years ago for the purpose of more specific identification. One name was not enough. There were too many persons with such names as Friedrich (Fred), heinrich (Henry), Johann (John) to distinguish between them. Therefore a last name or second name was given. The 4 primary sources for the last names seems to have been - occupation, location, father's name and personal characteristicsx. For example, a John who was a local house builder might receive the name of John Carpenter. Other such names would be Cook, Miller and Taylor for persons who were food preparers, grain grinders and susit makers, respectively. A location type of name might be John Overhill for the John who lived over the hill or John Brook for the John living near a stream. Many last names are based on the father's name such as Johnson for John's son, Williamson for William's son, and so forth. Finally, there were last names originating from personal characteristics such as a little person may have the surname of Small, Short, Little, etc. and a tall man maight be Longfellow, Long, etc. A study of the name "Kleemann" suggest that it is of the occupational type. Since the people with this name are apparently of German origin, we check in the the German language and discover that the German word "Klee" means "clover" and of course, the word "mann" means "man". The literal translation of "Kleemann" then is "clover man" or "man of clover". One source of information suggests that this name originally came into being as meaning "one who raised clover". Some names are pronounced in many different ways. This name has perhaps only 2 different pronunciations. The one would be the German pronunciation which would sound liek "clay-man". The other would be the English pronunciation which has the first syllable of "Klee" rhyming with "glee". The Germany story centers around the area of Huellhorst (spelled Hollhorst with an umlaut in German), in the province of Westphalia. Huellhorst is located in the northwestern part of German and is located in "west" or "free" Germany, as distinguished from "east" Germany behind the "iron curtain". Apparently, Ernst Friedrich August Kleemann and Anna Katharina Elisabeth Roewekamp were married in Huellhorst with their children baptized in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Huellhorst. This story begins with Ernst Friedrich August Kleemann whom we will refer to hereafter as "Ernst Kleemann". He was the son of Johann Heinrich Kleemann and Anne Marie Louise Weitkemp. Ernst was born on Feb. 8, 1789 at Stift Quernheim which is only a few miles southwest of Huellhorst. He died on August 2, 1850 at the age of 69. He was married to Anna Katharina Elizabeth Roewekamp on May 17, 1818 in Huellhorst. She was born on March 27, 1794 and died on Nov. 30, 1851 at the age of 57. They were buried in Germany. They built a hosue in which to live in the year 1828, which incidentally is still standing today according to relatives in Germany. It would be asumed that their last 3 children were born in this house. Our story continues with the 8 children born to Ernst and Ann (Roewekamp) Kleemann. They had 3 sons, then 2 daughters and concluding with 3 more sons for the total of 8. Their first child was a son - Johann Heinrich Gottlieb Kleemann (note similarity to name of Ernst's father). He was born at Huellhorst, Germany on Feb. 25, 1819, and died on Feb. 5, 1879, just a few days short of his 60th birthday. He married Anna Marie Sophie Grosse-Eickmeier on September 8, 1852. She was born in Germany on March 12, 1833 and died on June 16, 1862 at the age of 29. Both were buried in Germany. He did not come to America. They had 4 children - 3 sons and 1 daughter. After the death of his first wife Anna Marie, Johann married Catharine Marie Luise Breitenkamp on June 17, 1864, She was born in Germany on January 9, 1839. The date of her death is not known. She and Johann had 3 sons. the second child of Ernst & Anna Kleemann was a son Karl Friedrich Kleemann, who went by the name of "Friedrich" or "Fred". He was born on Nov. 22, 1820. He came to America along with 2 brothers - August adn Christian - in 1852. It seems that these brothers came to America with teh Fred Krughoff family. Fred Kleemann would have been either 31 or 32 years of age when he came to America, depending on the month of arrival. Since his birthdate is Nov. 22nd, we may assume he was only 31 at the time fo arrival. Either as the result of this close contact with the Krughoff family or perhaps as an explanation of making this trip with this family, Fred married one of the Krughoff daughters. He was untied in marriage to Louise Krughoff in Hoyleton, Illinois on April 15, 1853 - on her 22nd birthday. She was born on April 15, 1831 in Rothenuffeln, Germany, which is also in the province of Westphalia and not far from Huellhorst. She died on Oct. 10, 1817 at the age of 86 years and was buried at theZion Evangelical Church Cemetery in Hoyleton, Illinois. Fred died on Jan. 11, 1889 at the age of 68 and was also buried on the Zion Cemetery in Hoyleton. They had 10 children - 6 sons and 4 daughters. The third child of Ernst & Anna Kleemann was their third son and named after the father - Ernst Friedrich August Kleemann. He was born on July 16, 1823. He died on May 11, 1849 at the age of 25 years and was buried in Germany. He never married. The fourth child of Ernst & Anna Kleemann was their first daughter - Margrethe Elise Charlotte Kleemann. She was born on Dec. 15, 1825 and died on July 22, 1830 at the age of 4 years with burial in Germany. The fifth child of Ernst & Anna Kleemann was their 2nd daughter - Anne Marie Sophia Charlotte Kleemann. She was born on June 7, 1828 and died at the age of 16 years on Nov. 13, 1844. Burial was in Germany. The sixth child of Ernst & Anna Kleemann was their fourth son - Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Kleemann. He was born on Nov. 25, 1830 and died on April 24, 1859 at the age of 28 years with burial in Germany. He never married. The seventh child of Ernst & Anna Kleemann was their fifth son - Johann Friedrich August Kleemann, who went by the name of "August". He was born on Nov. 8, 1833. He joined his older brother Fred and his younger brother Christian in coming to America in 1852 with the Krughoff family. Inasmuch as his birthday is in November, we may assume that August was only 18 years of age when coming to America, nearing his 19th birthday. He first married Anna Marie Hoffman on Dec. 9, 1862. She was born on April 27, 1842 and died in the year 1867 at the age of 25 and was buried in the Old Zion Evangelical church Cemetery near Hoyleton, Illinois. She and August had 2 children - a son and a daughter. August then married Louise Kleine on June 23, 1870 in the Zion Evangelical Church in Hoyleton, Illinois. She was born on September 30, 1851 in Bergkirchen, Westphalia, Germany. She survived August and later married Herman Kramme. She died on March 15, 1934 at the age of 82 years and was buried beside August who had preceded her in death. She and August had 4 children - 3 sons and 1 daughter. August died on Feb. 5, 1888 at the age of 54 years. He was buried on the Zion Evangelical Church Cemetery near Mt. Vernon, Mo. Whereas the three brothers who came to America settled at Hoyleton, Illinois, August and his family moved to southwest Missouri in the year 1884. they followed other families who made the move from Illinois to southwest Missouri. The eighth and final child for Ernst & Anna Kleemann was their sixth son - Christian Friedrich Keleemann who went by the first name of Christian. He was born on Oct. 22, 1837. He came to America, as indicated already, with his brothers FRed and August in 1852 along with the Krughoff family at the age of perhaps 14, depending on whether the trip was made before his 15th birthday in 1852. He later married Marie Krughoff, one of the daughters of this Krughfof family. The date of marriage is uncertain. She was born in Germany, perhaps at Rothenuffeln on November 15, 1949. She died in the year 1900 at the age of 50 with burial in Zion evangelical Church Cemetery in Hoyleton, Illinois. She and Christian had 7 children - 3 sons and 4 daughters. Christian had proceded his wife in death on Feb. 17, 1887 at the age of 49 and was buried also in the Zion Evangelical church Cemetery in Hoyleton, Illinois. At this moment, the only remaining living descendent of Christian is his grandson Edwin Kleeman. It may be of interest to note that the three brothers who came to America in 1852 all died in consecutive years with Christian in 1887, August in 1888 and Fred in 1889. This is only a brief history of facts and dates. It will have meaning only to those who are descendants of Ernst & Anna Kleemann. | KLEEMANN ERNST FRIEDRICH AUGUST (I07561)

| 2861 | The writer of this account is Venice Brink, son of Henry Ernst Brink, the son of Heinrich. I was born in 1907, near Moweaqua in Shelby County, Illinois. My mother was Amelia Ludwig, whose father Philip Ludwig left Holzhausen, Hesse, Germany, as a young man in 1852. He landed in New York and worked his way west to Arnheim, Ohio, where he met and later married Elizabeth Bohl, also German. Some years later they moved to Shelby County, Illinois. After my mother's death in 1909, my father came back to Washington County. I grew up in Nashville. I served 3 1/2 years in the U. S. Army in World War II in the 9207th Technical Service Unit. After a number of years, including 25 years with the Hileman and Gutzler Furniture Stores, am now engaged in growing fruit, nuts and vegetables and daffodil bulbs. I grow over 1200 kinds of daffodil bulbs, one of the largest collections extant today. Electricity in Nashville dates back to 1899. The first electricity was furnished to Nashville on a dusk to dawn basis by a home owned plant operated by C.M.Forman of E. St. Louis. The plant was located on property which lies due west of Greenwood Cemetery and is now owned by Venice Brink. Vol. 1, #1, 1977 | BRINK VENICE L. (I02825)

| 2864 | There has been lots of confusion over at least 2 Johannes Binkleys. According to Bridget Rogier who has done a lot of research on the Binkley family, our Johannes came over with Felix Landis in 1719. He is not the Johannes who was the son of Christian Binkley, born in 1695, who came to PA in 1736 and died in 1757. n Rupp's Thirty Thousand Names, P. 436, where a reference is made to the arrival of Johannes Binkley and Felix Landis during 1719.his Johannes came to America from the Canton Bern, Switzerland, along with a party of emigrants, which included the Landis and Herr families.The party found settlement in a locality then known as "old Hickory," nearby to the present city of Lancaster, and now being the townships of Lampeter and Manor, in Lancaster County, PA. These Binkleys spread over the township of Manheim during the course of time, and there is now a small community there called Binkley. It is not known at this time, if these Binkleys were related, or a connection, of those of the name to be dealt with hereafter, but at this time it would seem that there were no blood ties, this side of Europe at least, and it would appear that they were of the Mennonite and Dunkard faithe, although there were many Binkleys found in the records of the Lutheran Church of Lancaster City, 1780-1746."nnes and Barbara for 100 pounds.e the third part of all movable goods and income of the plantation until my son Johannes turns twenty one.

| 2865 | There is a copy of a newspaper clipping in the Brink unknown file that I believe is the wedding announcement of Gustav and Bertha Brink. It is written in German. wlg FAREWELL SERVICE WELL ATTENDED Sunday evening the largest gathering of people that has assembled at any local function for the past several months, was present in St. Paul's Evangelical Church to celebrate the farewell service given in honor of Monroe County's quota of the drafted army. Automobiles and conveyances of all kinds from all parts of the country were lined along our streets, but the attendance showed the extreme interest at heart which the entire population of the county has for those boys who have been called to defend "Old Glory". A program, very fitting to an occasion of this kind, was carried out and due credit must be given Rev. C. F. Brink, the pastor, and Prof. C. Struckmeyer, organist, for their capability in arranging the affair. Rev. Brink's sermon, the songs by the choir and those by the congregation all conformed and tended to bring out the main subject of the evening, which was to trust not along in our physical and moral strength, but also in a spiritual strength, and to remember that without the help of the Almighty we can do nothing--with Him we can accomplish everything. Rev. Brink's sermon must be lauded as it was an eloquent talk, short and to the point. He dealt with the human being glorying in his strength, and compared it with our soldier boys who now go forward to glory in theirs. He criticised those people who are going about and questioning the patriotism of the German-Americans. Who was it that helped our country gain its independence from England? Why, the good German-American populace, and as they fought and did their duty in those days, they will again help the Star Spangled Banner in this world war. Rev. Brink explained that he would not try to tell the young men of any military points, as that was the duty of others who are more disciplined in army tactics than he was: he warned them to trust always in the Almighty, and finally their reward will be reaped. He closed with a wish of godspeed to all the young men, and with hope that they will gain glory and honor by the side of the "Red, White and Blue." The boys were presented with handsome covered programs as a remembrance of this parting occasion, the front page of which contained the picture of the church. They were bound together with red, white and blue ribbon, by the young ladies of the congregation. The church choir rendered two appropriate songs during the evening's entertainment, and the members and their Instructor deserve credit for their efforts. Two songs by the congregation were also on the program. After the Lord's prayer, spoken in unison, and a blessing, the affair came to a close with the singing of the first verse of the national hymn, "America" by all present. | BRINK GUSTAV FREDERICK CARL (I01514)

| 2866 | There is a difference of opinion as to Marie's last name. A granddaughter believes her name was Meier. She bases this on the fact that she had an uncle named Meier, who she always thought was her mother's brother. I have not been able to find a record of the marriage of Marie Meier to Frederick Hoffman and do find one of Maria Volkmann to F. W. Hoffman in St. Paul's Ev. Church records in Nashville, Illinois, with dates corresponding to what we believe to be the approximate date of their marriage and other dates seeming to be correct. I am inclined to believe the uncle could have been a brother-in-law or the mother could have been married twice. St. Paul's records show the marriage on August 11, 1865 of F. W. Hoffman to Maria Volkmann. They also show the death of Maria Hoffman (nee Volkmann) on February 5, 1870. These records also provide the following information - child of Fr. Wilhelm and Mary Hoffman died Feb. 17, 1870 (Relatives confirm that there were 2 children born to this union one of whom died in infancy). We have the date of the birth of George as Jan. 10, 1867, together with the fact that he was three when his mother died and the date of F. W.'s second marriage to Caroline Wiese on April 23, 1891. All these dates seem to indicate tome that her maiden name was Volkmann. Frederick and Marie were the parents of two children - one died in infancy - George lived to grow up.

Second Row: Gilbert "Gib" and Sarah Jane Owens. Back Row: Arthur Anderson, Andrew Thomas, and William Nathan Owens. Daniel was 11 years old when his father moved the family to Stone County in 1859. He grew to manhood sharing the closeness of a pioneer family living in a one room cabin with a loft and a fireplace at one end. Custom was hinged upon necessisty, and the boys' opportunity for a formal education was limited by the scarcity of schools plus the need to be in the fields when weather permitted. Daniel farmed a quarter section of land in Section 24 of township 22 adjourning property owned by his brother, James. The brothers decided that the river bottom was a bad place to live, and they would move to get away from the "chills" that plagued them yearly. Daniel sold James 40 acres, including the hosue, and moved across the river to a place on the bluff. At this point eh was just four miles north of Baxter. James built further up on his land where the house presently stands. Whenever he referred to the 40 acres purchased, it was known as "Dan Farm." The house was used from time to time by relatives needing a place to stay. Dan bought 80 acres of land from the Missouri Land and Live Stock Co., Limited, of Scotland. Home office: 16 Castle Street, Edinburgh, Scotland. Business office in the United States at Rogers, Arkansas. In addition to farming, and at one time owning a mercantile store in Baxter, Daniel was a Freewill Baptist preacher. There are family stories about Daniel's death that have not been substantiated, of how he was killed. One such story has Daniel preaching at the Jones school house when a man came up to the window and started a disturbance, and Daniel had him put in jail. Sometime later, Daniel was riding his horse home from a meeting and was hit in the head by this man, and left for dead. Cecile Townsend, who later married Bryan Owens, was walking to school and saw a man lying on the road, and she ran to Crittendon and Pansy Owens' house to tell them of what she had seen. Daniel was carried to their home where he remained in a coma for three days before he died. The death certificate states that Daniel died of a concussion of the brain, caused by being thrown from a horse. Daniel died 7 Sept., 1912, William Township, Stone County, Missouri; bd. Owens Cem. Handbills were printed and distributed for the big sale held September 28, 1912. Among the items to be auctioned off were 1 grown mare, 1 roan mare, 1 yearling mule, 1 suckling mule, 17 head of hogs, 1 binder, 1 wheat drill, 1 spring tooth harrow, 1 wagon, 1 set of work harness, 1 turning plow, 1 double shovel, 1 buggy, 1 saddle, 1 shotgun, 1 dinner bell, 35 bushels of wheat, 6 acres of corn, and other articles too numberous to mention. L. A. Johnston was the auctioneer, and Gib Owens, who lived in Binger, Oklahoma, was holding the sale on his father's (D.M.C. Owens) farm. The terms were: All sums under $5, cash; over $5, 12 months time would be given on notes and approved security, bearing 8 per cent interest. Five per cent discount for cash.

May 1, 1985 Dear Friend: (Leonard Carey) I appreciate so much the material you have sent me especially since we are not sure that Wiley Catholic Owens has a connection with William King Owens. However, it is fascinating to me. For quite some time I have worked on the Gines line. An old trunk which became ours on the death of Herald's parents gave us much information. There were family Bibles, personal Bibles (over 100 years old), birth certificates dated 1843, marriage licenses, pictures and old postal cards. I've gone through them many times. Our name was originally spelled Geines. There are some old postal cards addressed to Herald's grandmother as Mrs. Hannah Gines, others to Mrs. Hannah Geines, so we know that somewhere in here some one became lazy and dropped the "e". About 1976 we located the graves for his grandparents and they were both spelled Geines. I have also put together some facts on Grandmother Taylor, the Philiberts, from articles Aunt Dolly has sent me. But back to the Owens. You will notice I have returned the set on Wiley Catholic Owens with some corrections. However, I have also made copies for #7 Aunt Rosa, #8 Uncle Opal, #9 Aunt Lois, and for #2 Charles Wiley Owens second marriage which I forgot the first time. Daddy was married in March, died in November, and his son was born the following March. Pauline married again when their son was quite small to a Washington man, but his work was in Pittsburg, Pa. They then went there to live so we were practically strangers. I have written to Charles and Jane asking for data but have received no answer. A neighbor friend looked at records at the court house for me for most I have on their second marriage. Names are from pictures. I have also written to Aunt Goldie, Uncle Boots wife, but no answer. If I ever get that complete it will be quite long. I'm enclosing some money. I'm sure it will not pay for your work but postal rates are certainly not cheap. Thank you again for what you have done for me and are doing. Always, Lorene Gines P.S. I have had a copy of this set made for I wanted especially the note at the end. I understand that Ft. Wayne, Indiana has one of the best libraries and that is where our son lives. Hopefully we can go there and stay long enough that I can see what I can find. Herald usually doesn't want to stay because of work, gardening, etc. If I get word from Aunt Goldie do you still want it? I'm not sure of what I have down for #1 Uncle Boots. I've always known Aunt Goldie's mother as Mrs. Jagers but have been told her father's name was Tinker. I hope the grandchildren are in the right places.
