This sketch was given at teh first Reunion of the Beckmeyer descendants at the park in the village of Hoyleton, Illinois, September 6, 1954; by Millie Brink Krughoff, Author. At the time, September 7, 1954, the Beckmeyer descendants numbered 315 sould of which 35 passed into Eternity. This sketch of history of our ancestors begins in the 18th century, 162 years ago, in a picturesque village called Hullhorst, in Westfalia, Germany. We have no knowledge of ancestors before that time. In No. 10 the homestead where our story begins on March 21 in the year 1792, our maternal Great Grandfather Christian Fredrich Ludwig (Great) Eickmeyer was born and baptized in the Evangelical church of Hullhorst. Where Great-grandmother Anna Maria Louise Great Eickmeyer was born we do not know, but surmise it was Hullhorst or a neighboring village. Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother Eickmeyer were married May 6, 1814. They made their home on the Great Eickmeyer farm in Hullhorst. There were a number of Eickmeyers in Hullhorst and as far as knowledge could be ascertained, Great Grandfather owned the largest farm--hence the "Great Eickmeyer". Grandmother Anna Katherine Marie Sophia Beckmeyer (nee Eickmeyer), was born May 12, 1815, the oldest child of Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother Eickmeyer. She was baptized and confirmed in the Evangelical church in and on August 4, 1836 she married Grandfather Heinrich Wilhelm (Korf) Beckmeyer. Grandfather took his bride to his own small farm in Hullhorst, homestead NO. 20, the birth place of our parents and which is operated by descendants of the people who purchased it in 1872. Of Grandfather Beckmeyer's ancestors we have obtained no inforamtion, but we do know that he was born at Ohlson, (a neighboring village to Hullhorst) on a farm which is operated by a descendant of Grandfather's brother, but who knew nothing of the Beckmeyers. Granfather and Grandmother had eight children, the oldest died the first year of his life. The seven children are: Carl, Friedrichk, Wilhelm Ludwig, Heinrich, August and Sophia. The narrative that follows I have from my mother Sophia Brink (nee Beckmeyer), who loved to tell about her beloved home and relatives in Germany. Descendants of those same relatives are living in Hullhorst, Germany and as a result of the second world war the Beckmeyer descendants in this country have sent food and clothing to those distant relatives across the ocean, when Germany suffered it's worst defeat in history and so very many people died of starvation due to the after effects of the war. Our Grandparents Beckmeyer were very religious and pious. The chldren were all basptized and confirmed in the Evangelical church at Hullhorst, except Sophie was was confirmed in Aion Evangelical church at Hoyleton, Illinois. She was eleven years old when they came here. They all attended the state school, much like the parochial school here, regularly. It was called the state school because church and school were under the jurisdiction of the German government. The Beckmeyer children spent their childhood days much like all other normal children in Germany, at that time. They went to school, did chores, and also had their time for play. Although they had few toys they never-the-less had their fun in games. Their greatest fun was skating. They had no skates however so the boys would hammer large headed nails or tacks under the soles of wooden shoes to keep them from wearing away. There was a large pond in Hullhorst which was frozen during the entire winter where the youngsters of the whole village had a hilarious time skating. Today half of the pond is drained dry, and a monument dedicated in honor fo thedead soldiers of first world war, with beautiful shrubbery, and a carpet of grass surrounding, adorn the place where our parents once had a jolly time. In school religioon, reading, writing, and arithmetic were the main subjects. As a rule the teachers were very strick and one teacher took care of the whole school. In church the religious rites were much the same as our Evangelical rites here. The houses were built very substantial. Some are still standing and in good repair that were built in the seventeen hundreds, among them the Beckmeyer Homestead No. 20. It was here that Grandfather Beckmeyer purchased a water pump, in 1865, it being the first water pump ever purchased in the village is still in good working order. The date is inscribed on the pump with Granfather and Grandmother's initials. I ahve this information from on of our relatives in Germany, Fred Kuhlmeyer, who did a little repair work on the pump in 1950. In the days when our parents were children in Germany, garments for the whole family were made of linen and wool. Flax was raised on the farm, hand processed, and spun in linen thread. The same way wool was spun into yarn for hose, socks, mittens, shawls, etc., or woven into material for garments. The woolen and linen threads were woven on wooden looms in the home. For men a heavier thread, for women and chldren a finer thread. After enought cloth was woven it was taken to a tailor who made garments for the whole family. They were simple and all made after the same pattern. The men wore short trousers, shirts, vests, coats and long, heavy wool hose, which came up over their knees. The women wore linen or wool dresses, all made in the same pattern; plain waist, gathered skirt and we must not forget the apron. it played in important role in the wardrobe. I remember Grandma Beckmeyer always wore an apron and a little woolen shawl around the shoulders and tucked in the belt of the apron. Wooden shoes were worn but mother said, at teh time they left Germany, people were beginning to wear leather shoes. Mother had one pair which were worn only on Sundays. Shoes were not bought in stores, but were made to order by a cobbler. Life in Germany was very simple, and having only a few acres of land, cows were used to pull the plows and other implements to till the soil. The Beckmeyers had a horse or two at intervals. On the Great Eickmeyer farm they had four or more horses. Furniture was simple and not much of it. A rustic talbe, wooden chairs, cabinet for cooking utensils and dishes, and a stove in teh kitchen, no other stove in the house. A large bed in the bed room and roll away beds for the small children. The small beds were rulled under the large one during the day. Meals were simple and wholesome. For the noon meal a stew of vegetables and a small piece of meat were cooked during the morning hours adn at meal time the soup was emptied into a large bowl, set in the center of the table, where all could help themselves to their share; using wooden spoons, hand-made and polished smooth as glass. Sugar was used very little and the fruit was eaten without sugar. Bread baking was done outside in a stone overn. On baking day a fire was started in the oven and was kept burning until the right empterature for baking, then the coals and fire were removed from the oven and 15 to 20 loaves of bread baked at one time. The bread dough was kneaded in a (Backtrog) Bake trough they called it. The men did the kneading because it was too much to handled for the women. Cakes, cookies and pastries were baked in bakeries. At a funeral the upper grade school children had to sing and for this would receive a bun covered with sugar. Mother's brother August would always bring his bun home and give it to her, and mother would share it with him. What a token of love between borther and sister. As all normal children do, the Beckmeyer children grew and after confirmation came the question of employement. There was not enough work on the small farm for six boys, and not enough money to send them to college. In those days many young men, yes whole families came to America, where opportunities for business and farming were great. In order to avoid military training, the boys would leave before they were eighteen years. When Carol Beckmeyer reached that age, he too, left his home, parents and brother to come to America with his uncle Carl Eickmeyer. They settled in Illinois where they worked for farmers who were mostly English settlers. In winter tehy split rails for fencing. When the stock law came into effect, the farmers had to fence their stock, which before could roam the prairies at will. After Carl ahd enough money he bought his own farm. Land sold for very little money at that time. Next in line to leave was Fred Beckmeyer, before he was eighteen, he also went to America. Before I go on I must relate an incident, such as we often read in books, but think it could never happen in real life, but this story is not fiction but fact. When Fred left for America, he sailed from Bremen, but the ship was not quite ready to sail, so Fred took his baggage aboard and in his spare time took a stroll uptown. When he came back the ship had sailed without him but with his baggage. There was nothing he could do but wait till the next ship sailed for America. He did not or could not notify his parents and while they thought him on the ocean he was still in Bremen. But the ship he was to have sailed on, sank during a severe storm, and not a person was saved. When after weeks of waiting for a letter from Fred which did not come, they received word from some source, stating the fact that the ship on which Fred Beckmeyer sailed was lost at sea and everyone on board it. Imagine the shock and grief this notice brought into the Beckmeyer household. their boy, who such a short time ago, was such a care free lad, full of fun, who had great hopes for the future in the new country, dead? He was mourned as dead, by all relatives and friends. A memorial service was held in his honor and August was named Fred it being his middle name. We can only imagine their joy and thanksgiving to the Lord when weeks later they received a letter from Fred stating his safe arrival in America. William was the next to go, but as Louis was confirmed, (he was 15 years old) it seems the two came to America together. Now by this time Grandmother was talking of coming to America, but Granfatehr would not hear of it. He would stay in Germany. But when Henry also left for the new country and only two children, August and Sophie, were left in teh Beckmeyer household, Granmother kept on talking America, hoping Grandfather might change his mind. Her wish was granted sooner than she had anticipated. About two years after Henry's departure, Louis came to Germany for a few months visit with his parents. No doubt Louis was on Grandmother's side on teh America question and August, the woungest son was confirmed, was fifteen eyars old and might want to join his brothers in America. All this might have had something to do with Grandfather's decision. Be that as it may, Grandfather did make up his mind to come to America. I here quote my mother's words, "One evening father came home from the village and said to mother, "Katherine get ready, We are going to America." The surprise of tehse words, the eagerness to get ready for the journey, the thought of seeing the boys again, but also the sadness of parting with everything dear to them, I leave for each one who reads this episode to consider. After a few days when everything was attended to, the Beckmeyer family bid farewell to Hullhorst, Germany, farewell to relatives and friends and started teh long journey across the Atlantic in September 1872, in happy anticipation of the future. But alas...things do not always turn out as we would want, for during the twelve day (should this be 12 week? wlg) voyage on the ocean, Grandfather Beckmeyer became violently ill and died aboard ship just as land was sighted. The authorities would not allow the remains of Grandfather Beckmeyer to be taken by train to Illinois. Grandfather lies buried in New York and Louis is the only one of the family who knew and saw the last resting place of Brandfather Beckmeyer. Grandmother now had to make the end of the journey alone with her children. They made their first visit with Carl and family on his farm. Mother said when they came to Carl's place and met his wife and children, Anna five and Fred about two years old, she was so taken with everything she saw, (all so different than in Germany) that she forgot for the time being the grief of losing her father, but when her brother Henry came to see them all was told about Grandfather's death, he cried out loud and teh sad experience of losing a loved one came back. Later the Beckmeyer brothers purchased a farm with Grandmother's money southeast of Hoyleton, Illinois Fred Beckmeyer had moved to Wichita, Kansas with his family. He came a year or two later for a visit with his wife and child, Nancy. That was the only tiem my mother saw her brother Fred in her whole life, for he had gone to America before my mother was born. So now we come to the end of this narrative. Grandmother Beckmeyer was reunited with her children, but Grandfather, the head of the clan, was missing. In due time the wounds of sorrow were healed by One in Whom Granmother firmly believe, her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She lived to see all her children married and have homes of their own. She made her home with August, who inherited the farm. Alvin Beckmeyer, youngest son of August, owns the farm now. Grandmother as I remember her was a true Christian character, and one who could pray and believed in prayer. She passed into Eternity on her birthday, the 12th day of May, 1891, reaching the age of 75 years. Blessed be her memory. From Brink/Beckmeyer Family History 1999 Poem written by Millie Krughoff for the Beckmeyer reunion: FAITH OF OUR ANCESTORS Faith of our Ancestors, true to God Thro' all the fires of mortal strife, Holding the promises of old, Strong in the everlasting life. Faith of our Ancestors, Oh how strong Like anchor chains, that would not break, No matter how the tempest raved, They always knew that Jesus saved. Faith of our ancestors, true as steel, Calm and sweet, their trust in God's Love, Firmly they trod the upward way, Until they reached the Home above. God grant that every Beckmeyer descendant May have this firm trust and faith, That the upward way, our Ancestors trod, Leads to the mansions of our God. There are eight pages of photographs at the end of the Brink/Beckmeyer Family History of various family members. There is a copy of this book in the Nashville Public Library where you could see the pictures if you like. Our copy is filed under Beckmeyer. wlg | BECKMEYER SOPHIA M. A.

| 465 | Caroline's full name as it appears on St. John's Lutheran Church Records, New Minden, Ill., is Friedericke Wilhelmine Caroline Hoffman. Her place and date of birth is listed as Krohenlo, by Preusz Minden, Germany, May 1, 1819. She was married three times. Her second husband, whom she married on Dec. 30, 1856, was Friederich Christian Hesemann, who died on October 31, 1858, at the age of 38 years and 5 months. New Minden Church records note that he was not a member of that congregation and not buried on their cemetery. Two children, a boy and a girl - twins - were born of this union. The girl's name was Martha and she married a man named Myer. The boy's name was Henry and I have not been able to learn anything about him except that he married and moved on a farm near Lockwood, Mo. Caroline's third marriage was to Wilhelm (Bismarch) Vogt on May 15, 1860. He died Apr. 15, 1904, and is buried in the New Minden Cemetery. Caroline died March 4, 1896, at the age of 76, after an illness of 6 days. She also is burried in the New Minden Cemetery.

| 481 | Chap03.doc FTM under notes for Daniel Brinck. Chapter 3 OUR GERMAN ANCESTORS We have chosen to show our German ancestors in several ways to include everyone we possibly can. We will begin by showing the Brinck ancestors of Friedrich Wilhelm (Father of the Immigrant Father) and then the Korfs ancestors of Anna Marie Ilsebein (Mother of the Immigrant Father). Next we will show the Meier ancestors of Zacharias Johann Christian (Father of the Immigrant Mother) and then the Rodekoff ancestors of Anna Marie Ilsebein (Mother of the Immigrant Mother). Then we will show the descendants of Daniel Brinck who is the oldest Brinck in the line back from our immigrant father. He died about 1671, and we do not know when he was born. His wife was born about 1620. Tonnies Brinck from the third generation from Daniel Brinck married Anna Margaretha Brinck and her line goes back to Cord Brink. We will show Cord’s descendants just to and including the fourth generation (Tonnie’s generation). He was born about 1592 and died about 1682 (buried April 19, 1682). | BRINCK DANIEL (I08011)

| 482 | Chap4.doc FTM in notes of Anna Meier CHAPTER 4 Our Brink Ancestors arrived in America in Washington County in December of 1845. They were a people of high standards, high moral values, integrety, and had a strong faith in God. According to information passed on from older family members of the first generation in America, the Brinks were first associated with St. John’s Lutheran Church in New Minden, Illinois. Then as the German Methodist Conference of St. Louis provided a preacher for the circuit which included North Prairie, many of them became Methodists. See appendix 2 for location of Brink settled land in 1845. “WASHINGTON COUNTY IN THE 1850s” copied from the Hoyleton Centennial Celebration 1858 - 1958. Before the fifties, Washington County was dotted with the one-room log cabins familiar to this age; the slow, yet dependable ox-team still was here, as well as the wooden mold-board plow, the open fireplace, and the Kentucky (made in Pennsylvania) squirrel rifle. These conditions existed in general until a few years before the Civil War. The old log cabin will ever occupy a place in American reminiscences. It was picturesque to say the least. One end was devoted to the open hearth and fireplace; the chimney, made of split sticks of wood and clay, ran up on the outside. The clay was first made into a kind of mortar, and with this the sticks were freely plastered, to keep down the fire hazard as well as cement the chimney in place. It was referred to as a “chink-and-daub” chimney. Usually the fireplace was so large that backlogs for it had to be rolled in at the open door too big to be carried. The forestick and other pieces of wood rested on the “dog-irons,” so as to be above the hearth level. At one side of the hearth, on pegs driven in the logs, hung the various blackened pots, kettles, skillets. There also stood the cupboard, made of smoothly dressed walnut. The prized blue-edged dishes and pewter were kept there. In a corner usually was a rude shelf resting on oak pegs, upon which was a wooden bucket filled with water for drinking and cooking purposes. A gourd, the pioneer’s drinking vessel, always hung on a nearby peg. The dining table was usually a dextrously-made affair that had folded leaves and could be pushed against the wall to save space. On the other side of the fireplace, about six feet off the floor, and just beneath the low ceiling, resting on wooden hooks, was the long-barreled flintlock Kentucky squirrel rifle. The stock ran the entire length of the long barrel, was made of white walnut and from incessant use added to the original polishing of the gunsmith, had become smooth as ivory. The mounting always was of well finished brass. Near the butt of the stock was a cavity about an inch in width, an inch deep and four or five inches long, covered with a brass lid, controlled by a spring. This was used to carry tallow with which to lubricate the “patchen” that was made to cover the bullet when loading the rifle. Also hanging on one of the hooks on which the heavy rifle rested was a bullet pouch and a powder horn. The pouch was made of strong leather, usually buckskin; had two or three pockets to hold bullets and cloth for patchen. The powder horn originally adorned the head of a cow; the larger end was closed and into the smaller end was filled a stopper, easily removed. Pouch and horn were provided with leather straps, to be carried over the shoulder. A horn to call the dogs usually rested or was hung from another peg on the wall. If the family was prosperous, there usually was a percussion-type shotgun in a corner, to be used by the boys who were not as accurate in their shooting as father. Another article of furniture in the cabin was the candlestand, upon which usually reposed a worn copy of the Bible and an almanac. The one window generally contained six 6 x 6-inch panes of glass. The door of the cabin swung on wooden hinges, the only kind known, fastened with a wooden latch, and raised and lowered by a leather thong which passed through a hole and left the free end hanging outside. At nights, when the pioneer wished to lock his cabin, he merely pulled in the latch-string. The bed usually was softened by a huge feather-tick. A trundel bed rolled under the big bed in the daytime, and pulled out for the children at night. The floor of the better cabins was made of unhewn oak; on the more common, it was of puncheon-slabs smooth on one side and unhewn on the other. The loft of the cabin was usually reached by a ladder, and the rafters would be festooned with dried apples, hung on strings; dried pumpkin, dried fruits, peppers, bunches of sage with which to season the sausage; pennyroyal to “sweat” the sick ones; boneset to “break the ager”; strings of stuffed sausage, chunks of dried beef. Crowded as was the cabin, it had at times another article that took up a lot of floor space--the loom to weave cloth. Cumbersome as it was, the housewife was an artist on this pioneer contrivance, and from it came pants for the men, linsey for the women, pretty coverlets, counterpanes and pillow cases. The spinning-wheel was the running-mate of the loom, and upon it the carded wool was woven into thread. Cooking was done almost entirely in iron pots, a dextrous art for the housewife, who toiled with the heavy utensils, the spider, the iron tongs with which to pick up hot embers, the big shovel to manipulate the wood fire. Always in the cabin was the pleasant odor of burning wood; old-timers insisted that no meal could ever approach the delicacy of one cooked at an open hearth. With the advent of the 1850’s, matches started to come into more general use. Before this time the fire on the hearth never went out, unless by accident. If it did, someone went to a neighbor’s for live coals; or if there was no neighbor, or the weather was inclement, a bit of powder would be put into the pan of the flintlock rifle, a piece of cotton held beside it then when a trigger was pulled, a spark from the flint would ignite the powder; it in turn would set fire to the cotton, and while this was blazing, it would be hurriedly transferred to “shavings,” or other easily inflammable material under the laid kindling in the fireplace. Food in the pioneer days was simple: corn bread and salt pork were the staples. Wheat bread was practically unknown before the fifties. The children ate corn mush and drank copious quantities of milk, warm from the cow. In winter, kernels of corn were treated with lye, which removed the hull, after which the grains were boiled or fried. This was a wholesome food that was called “big hominy.” With the coming of the first frost, one neighbor would kill a hog and divide it with his neighbors and friends. Perhaps a little later another would kill a beef and divide it likewise. No one had a cellar in those days. The present method of canning fruit and vegetables did not come into vogue until about the middle of the fifties. The woods and prairies were full of blackberries, wild plums, crab-apples, wild grapes and persimmons. Pawpaws were eaten like bananas today. Soap was made with lye and fat, a custom that still prevails today in many rural areas. The lye was made by leaching wood ashes, and the fat came from saving all sorts of meat scraps. Many an early Washington County settler had to depend upon a nearby spring or the “crick” for their drinking water. The only rain water collected was that in a barrel, set under the eaves, and generally full of “wiggle-tales” as soon as the weather got warm. The manner of dress was far simpler than today. For everyday wear, men had shirts and jeans cut loosely; trousers were called breeches, and vests were universally known as “roundabouts.” An outer garment called a “wammus” was also popular with men. Boots came into fashion in the early fifties; working men wore heavy shoes referred to as brogans. Clocks and watches were rare, only professional people and ne’er-do-wells carried a timepiece, or owned one; time was referred to “by sun”. HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY SETTLERS When the white man came to Southern Illinois, this area was the home of the Illini Indians, mostly from the Tamaroa sub-tribe. They had been preceded by several other groups of Indians over a period of some thousand years. All left some of their artifacts behind them, which are still being found. In the War of 1812 it was the Kickapoo tribe from Central Illinois which raided this far south and killed the first settlers, the Livelys. In the same war, the Shawnee, being driven out of Indiana and Ohio, came to Southern Illinois, some to the county. The last resident Indians were removed to Oklahoma in the 1830’s. We also have a number of families who have some Indian ancestry, most often Cherokee. The first white settlers here were Americans who came from the southeastern coast states, part of a migration that began in the early 1800’s, when small farmers in Georgia, North and South Carolina, were being crowded out by the large spread of cotton plantations worked by slaves. While some stayed in the South in mountain valleys, others headed north and west to a new and free land. Many who came here after the War of 1812 came from Kentucky and Tennessee. They were mostly of English ancestry, a varying amount of Irish, German, Scotch, and Welsh blood, and a few free slaves. By 1830 they had spread to every part of the country. In 1830 there was a well organized migration from South Carolina by several groups of Presbyterians of Scottish descent. They were people with quite strong religious convictions and who were opposed to slavery. They settled in and around Oakdale. In 1837 the first Low German emigrants from north Germany came to Venedy and Hoyleton townships and in the next twenty years, they were followed by more. They spread over the northern tier of townships and then to the south. They came mostly from Westphalia, but also Hanover, Oldenburg, and Saxony. Most of the early emigrants traveled by boat to New Orleans and then up the Mississippi River to St. Louis. Later, they entered the country at New York and came west by rail. They were mostly craftsmen and farmers. Selected from article written by Venice Brink for the 1979 Washington County History book.

HOYLETON CHURCHMEN HONOR PIONEER DEAD by Grover Brinkman Back in 1861, a group of eighteen farmers met at the home of Frederick E. W. Brink in North Prairie to establish a new church. Eight acres of land was purchased from F. W. Krughoff for $12.50 per acre, and preliminary plans were made for the building program, which included a church, school, parsonage and "laying-off" a cemetery. Later that year, carpenter Henry Hake was given a contract to build a church 30 x 50 feet, 16 ft. high, with eight windows and a tower. He was to receive $217 for his labor. The day the tower of the new church was completed, a bad storm leveled the building. Undaunted, the members set about to rebuild the church, completed it in 1863. Back in those days, when the infant farm congregation was being organized, prices of commodities, compared with today, are little short of amazing. For instance, when the parsonage was ready for painting, the labor amounted to $15. Later a fence was built to enclose the property, each member being required to furnish ten fence posts or contribute a dime. On one occasion, the pastor was compelled to build his own chicken house. Another pastor, desiring a porch on the parsonage, added it himself. Today this pioneer church is gone, its members long ago having transferred to Hoyleton, but the old cemetery remains. And recently a cemetery committee composed of Rueben Westerfeld, Clarence Hake, Roland and William Beckemeyer, were appointed to restore the long-neglected burial ground, now a thicket of hedge and bramble, dug up by marmots. Many of the old stones were gone, broken or vandalized. So, for the record, a large central marker was erected, upon which are engraved the names of all who are buried here, 85 in number. The oldest grave is that of Marie Westerfeld, born in 1832. In the photo are Reuben Westerfeld and Clarence Hake, two of the four-man committee responsible for this fine restoration. (We do not have the photo.) A new chain fence protects the site, which is southeast of New Minden and southwest of Hoyleton. Here is an example of pioneer cemetery restoration that is commendable. Washington County, like its sister counties in southern Illnois, has many of these old burial grounds, most of them completely neglected. Updating the same with a central marker, inscribed with all the names of those buried, seems a fine idea. See Appendix 17 for list of people buried in this cemetery. VILLAGE OF HOYLETON Hoyleton was settled in 1858 by two Ministers of the Congregational Faith. Rev. A. Bent and Rev. Ovid Miner and their group came from the state of New York. That is why Hoyleton, until 1860, was called Yankee Town. The name Hoyleton came from a man named Henry Hoyle, who donated a bell for the Seminary belfry, which was completed in 1860. An election was held on March 26, 1881, to incorporate Hoyleton as a village under the general incorporation laws of Illinois, 37 votes being cast, 25 for and 12 against. The first officers of the village were: president, Christ Krueger; clerk, Wm. Weigel, Sr.; treasurer, Wm. Heidler; and trustees were Henry Horst, Sr., Wm. Grote, Christ Grabenkrueger, Diedrich Rixmann, Sr., and Fred Pries, Sr. In 1883 the first wooden sidewalk was built and 1896 the first brick sidewalk was laid. In 1901 the Village Board granted H. William Rixmann and Henry F. Rixmann the right to build the first telephone line within the village limits. In 1915 the president and the board of trustees signed a franchise granting H. Rixmann the right to furnish electric current for light, heat and power and also a contract for street lights. Many improvements followed over the years. ELM POINT SCHOOL Elm Point School was district #31 and was not annexed to another school until 1947. All the young people from Huegely and the surrounding area walked to Elm Point school, some of them four and five miles. The Elm Point School was opened in 1896 and stood west of the Evangelical Cemetery in North Prairie. From there it was moved to a hill near the German Methodist Episcople Church to be more centrally located. It was a one room school, but at times had forty pupils enrolled. After the regular school year, came one month of German school taught by the pastor of the Methodist Church, for North Prairie was a tri-lingual community -- English, German and Flemish called low-German. The school was closed in 1947. See Appendix 18 for a picture of Elm Point School. NORTH PRAIRIE AND HOYLETON The North Prairie and Hoyleton Circuit, which in 1849 was founded under the leadership of Brother Hemminghaus, was originally connected to the Mascoutah Mission and counted as its original families the following charter families: Heinrich Bartelsmeyer, Sr. Christian Brink Frederick W. Hake, Sr. Heinrich Hartmann Louis Huck, Sr. Heinrich Lesemann Heinrich Schnake William Meyer and the names of the charter members are as follows: Heinrich Bartelsmeyer, Sr. Susan Bartelsmeyer Christian Brink Christine Brink Frederick Hake, Jr. Frederick W. Hake, Sr. Heinrich Hake Henrietta Hake Heinrich Hartmann Wilhelmina Hartmann Maria Hoffman Heinrich Hoelscher Ludwig Huck, Sr. Louise Huck Frederick Lesemann (could this be Hesemann?) Heinrich Lesemann (could this be Hesemann?) Louise Meyer William Meyer Heinrich Schnake Louise Schnake For a number of years services were held in private homes, but due to the rapid growth of the membership in the congregation, it was decided to build a church. This was completed in 1853, located on a tract of land owned by Heinrich Hartmann and Wilhelmine, his wife; said tract being the Southwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section Twenty-nine, in Township One South of Range Two West, of the Third Principal Meridian, Washington County, Illinois. The Hartmanns lived in a log cabin situated on the southeast corner of the aforesaid tract, and the church was built on the north end thereof. This church site was one and a half miles south of the later North Prairie Church. The records of the German Methodist Church are quite vague, however, from the records of the St. Louis Conference book, we find that the Huegely family, who were one of the founders of Methodism in Nashville, established their home here in 1853. The lot on which the Wesley Methodist Church and Parsonage were situated was deeded to the German Methodist organization by Isaac Miller, on January 22, 1854. Rev. Boeschenz was the first German Methodist Minister to conduct services in Nashville, and later Rev. Peter Hinners was sent by the conference, and he in 1854 organized the congregation of the German Methodist Church in Nashville, Illinois. At this time North Prairie, Grand Prairie, and Little Prairie were included in the Nashville Circuit. North Prairie is often referred to as Crooked Creek Circuit. Charter members of the Nashville congregation were as follows: John Huegely Susannah Huegely Wilhelmina Hinners Alois Morawets The number of members of the aforesaid four missions are as follows: The Nashville Circuit 4 members North Prairie Circuit21 members Grand Prairie Circuit18 members Little Prairie Circuit 8 members The first Quarterly Conference was held at Nashville, Illinois, on December 3, 1854, when it was decided to build a parsonage, and the following were elected as a Building Committee: Christian Brink, North Prairie John Huegely, Nashville William Meyer, North Prairie The following were elected as Stewards in 1854: Christian Brink, North Prairie John Geisel, Grand Prairie William Grote, Grand Prairie Ernest Hoffman, Little Prairie John Huegely, Nashville On December 31, 1854, we find that the following were elected trustees for a term of five years: Christian Brink, North Prairie Frederick Hake, Sr., North Prairie Louis Huck, Sr., North Prairie John Huegely, Nashville Heinrich Lesemann, North Prairie (could this be Hesemann?) Ten years later, due to the rapid growth in membership and also the location, it was decided to build a new church. This took place during the ministry of Rev. H. Schulze, and was completed in the year 1863. The new church was located on the northwest corner of Christian Brink’s land. After Rev. Boeschenz and Rev. Peter Hinners, the following Ministers named hereafter served the Nashville Circuit: Rev. H. Schultz 1854-1856 Rev. John Ritter1856-1857 Rev. Paul Hertzel1857-1858 Rev. H. Pfaff1858-1960 It was during Rev. Pfaff’s ministry that the first church in Nashville was built. Rev. Justus Baab1860-1862 Rev. H. Schultz1862-1865 During Rev. Schultz’s ministry the former North Prairie Church was built. Rev. Wm. Kleinschmidt1865-1867 Rev. Geo. Buehner1867-1870 Rev. Louis Hornel1870-1871 Rev. George Timken1871-1874 Rev. Charles Rodenberg1874-1877. The North Prairie Parsonage was built in the summer of 1877. The Wesley Methodist Church was built in Nashville during the ministry of Rev. Rodenberg. The members of the Hoyleton Methodist bought the old Nashville Church and moved it to Hoyleton. At the annual conference in the year 1877, the Nashville Congregation, then called the Bischoefliche Methodisten Kirche, was separated from North Prairie, Grand Prairie and Little Prairie, and after that the following Ministers served the North Prairie and Hoyleton Churches: Rev. J. M. Rinkel1877-1880 Rev. Wm. Kleinschmidt1880-1884 At this time the Conference had set a limit of three years for any minister to serve one charge, and we have it on good authority that Frederick Hake was the minister from 1883-1884, but that Rev. Wm. Kleinschmidt served in his stead. Rev. G. E. Heidel1884-1886 Rev. F. L. Mahle1886-1889 Rev. C. F. Schlinger1889-1891 Rev. Theopolilus Kies1891-1894 Rev. H. F. Miller1894-1899 Rev. S. Saegesser1899-1900 It was during Rev. Saegesser’s ministry in 1900 that the annex to the church was built and rededicated. The deed given the trustees by Mr. and Mrs. Frederich Krughoff dated 1875 was recorded in December 1901 in Nashville. Rev. H. F. Miller1900-1903 Rev. J. P. Hehner1903-1904 Rev. F. D. Rademacher1904-1909 Rev. F. H. Austermann1909-1913 Rev. C. J. Lotz1913-1917 Rev. E. Hemke1917-1921 Rev. H. W. Brandt1921-1925 Rev. Henry Idel1925-1929 Rev. Henry Meyer1929-1931 Rev. W. E. Browing1931-1931 Rev. S. Albrecht1931-1936 Rev. Albrecht was the first minister to serve the North Prairie congregation after the separation from Hoyleton. Rev. C. R. Buess1936-1940 Rev. W. D. Richardson1940-1943 Rev. Chas. Ellis1943-1944 Rev. C. R. Yost1944-1945 Rev. Ray E. Brown1945-1947 Rev. Jerry Weiss1947-1948 Rev. Melvin Byrd1948-1951 Rev. Ray Porter1951-1952 Rev. Wm. Suryear1953-1956 Rev. Charles Hartman1956-1961 Rev. Guy Watson1961-1966 In 1951-1956 Hoyleton and North Prairie were one charge again. North Prairie was closed in 1966 and a shelter for the church bell was erected in the adjoining cemetery. The bell had been bought in August 1890 for some $180 by J. J. Huck and sisters and brothers as a memorial to their parents Mr. and Mrs. Louis Huck, Sr. One family member told me the church congregation had been advised that if they collected silver coins and other bits of metal and turned it in when the bell was ordered, it could be added to the metal used to make the bell and would in turn give it a better ringing quality. This person said the congregation gathered a collection of such from all its members and took it to St. Louis where the bell was made. It was picked up in St. Louis upon completion and brought back to North Prairie by oxen drawn wagon. In the early 1900s, probably 1903 or 1904, the congregation had approximately 160 members and the following brethren comprised the Administration Board of the Church. Finance Board included Fred Bartelsmeyer, Henry Dueker, L. Wehking, Fred Gerling, John Hake, and H. Peithman. Trustees were Louis Hake, Edward Krughoff, Fred Bartelsmeyer, Henry Dueker, A. Grote, Fr. Wacker, Wm. Huck, Chr. Stelzriede, H. Uphoff, L. Huck and E. Hake. The congregation had two Sunday schools which were attended by 125 children and there was a young people’s society with 58 members. The following are the names of those who entered the ministry from the North Prairie Church: Rev. Theodore Brink Rev. John J. Huck Rev. Karl Krughoff Rev. Elmer Wehking and we also find that a number of women from the church became ministers’ helpmates, and are as follows: Mr. F. D. Rademacher, nee Brink (Mary) Mrs. Theo. Ludwig, nee Brink (Minnie) Mrs. Gustav Brink, nee Brink (Bertha) Mrs. Carl Opp, nee Dueker (Agnes) Mrs. Richard Muelder, nee Huck (Esther) Mrs. Gail Hines, nee Huck (Helen) Mrs. Harold Dude, nee Kleeman (Clara) Mrs. William Hummel, nee Wehking (Carrie) The following were the current ministers and officers of the North Prairie Church in 1946: MinisterRev. Ray Brown Sunday School SuperintendentW. L. Dueker W. S. C. S. PresidentMrs. George Dueker Youth Fellowship PresidentMary Louise Dueker StewardsJulius Krughoff Charles Bartelsmeyer Julius Hake Oscar Kleeman Arthur Dueker Parsonage TrusteesAlbert Brink Oliver Huck Virgil Hoffman PianistsGladys Marie Hoffman Eunice Rixman TrusteesMartin Huck John Gerling Gilbert Hake Walter Hake Alfred Rixman UshersJohn Hoffman W. L. Dueker JanitorHenry Idel Most of the above information on the North Prairie Emmanuel Methodist Church was collected and written by H. L. Krughoff. In his closing words, he stated: “The zeal with which our forefathers worked should be an inspiration to all who read this and be inspired to greater courage and loyalty to the task of building God’s kingdom. We must confess that we very little realize the hardships that the founders of our church went through, and it behooves us to carry on this noble work as they would have us do.” The North Prairie Church was noted for musical talent. The original male quartet consisted of Louis Bartelsmeyer, Julius Hake, Elmer Hake and Edwin Huck. Other later members were Harvey Hake, Arthur and George Dueker and others from time to time. These men were in much demand for funerals, conferences and even political rallies. They were succeeded in later years by a men’s chorus. A concert band by H. F. W. Hake often furnished music for picnics and other programs. See Appendix 19 for a picture of the North Prairie Band. Of special note to the descendents of Charles L. C. Brink, Charles F. Brink, Raymond L. Brink, and Charles R. Brink is that all four generations have worked on the North Prairie Church. Charles L. C. built the original structure, Charles F. built on the annex, Raymond L. repaired and remodeled it, and Charles R. Brink with Brink and Jones Construction, using their crane removed the bell which is now in the monument they placed on the property. Then others in the community tore the rest of the building down. See appendix 20 for a picture of North Prairie Church, appendix 21 for a picture of the bell being removed, and appendix 22 for a picture of the monument. HUEGELY Huegely originally was located further south down the railroad tracks toward Nashville, Illinois. It consisted of only an elevator and a general store. Then the elevator and store were moved to the location where Huegely lies today. Huegely was mainly started by three Brink brothers: Charles F., Fred and Henry. Charles F., son of Charles L. C., married Emma Charlotte Finke. Their first home was an apartment above Brinks store in Huegely, Illinois. He owned the store in partnership with his brother Fred. See appendix 23 for a picture of the Brink Store. The general store was small but supplied all the needs including food, tools, clothes, etc. As money was not often available payment was made in farm products, garden vegetables, and eggs. As their family grew, Charles F. moved possibly in 1904 or 1905 to the first house on the North side of the road as you come into Huegely from the West. It is not known if Charles F. built the home or if it was preowned. He began carpentering at this time. It is not known at what date he began moving houses. Appendix 24 shows his home in Huegely with his moving van in front of it. Appendix 25 shows a picture of the steam engine he used in moving buildings along with his moving van and wagons of supplies and tools, etc. Across the street from their home was a long building containing a blacksmith shop run by Henry and a carpenter shop on the other end run by Charles F. Above the two shops was a large room used for community gatherings. The second house to the east on the north side of the road was the home of Henry Brink. Later, the third home was that of Walter Dueker. Across the railroad tracks was the home of Elmer Hake. Across from Elmer Hake's and east of the mill was Rudy Lilenkamps home. The elevator consisted of one building that the surrounding farmers brought their wheat, corn, oats, and other grains to. Everything originally was handled in burlap sacks instead of bulk as today. It later became the first elevator in the area to have a grain dump which eliminated the use of sacks. West of the tracks beyond the elevator stood a creamery. At what year in history this began is unknown. They bought milk and stripped the cream. There were no inspections and several times a baby shoe would come in. People were to wash their own cans so the creamery workers would put the shoe back in the can. Yep, it came back the next time still in the can. Walter Dueker and Elmer Hake bought the Brink store. The date is unknown but was before 1920 when Charles F. moved to Nashville with his family. Walter and Elmer also ran the elevator which was put in by Huegley Elevator of Nashville, Illinois. Walter did this for years. Huegely was still pretty active in the early 1950’s due to a saw mill first owned by Ed Martin and later by his son-in-law Dale Hassell. But as the roads improved, travel by automobile improved, people began migrating to the larger towns for all their needs and leaving Huegely behind as it is today. See appendix 26 for a map of Brink holdings as of 1945, appendix 27 and 28 for copies of the Hoyleton, New Minden, Huegely, North Prairie area from the 1971 platbook of Hoyleton Township, Washington County, Illinois and the 1993 platbook of Hoyleton Township, Washington County, Illinois. Appendix 29 is a very early map (date unknown) showing many of the very early owned farms including Stutz Field from Charles L. C. Brink and the farm owned by Casper Finke, the father of Mrs. Charles F. Brink. | MEIER ANNA SOPHIE DOROTHEA MARIE ILSABEIN (I00025)

| 484 | Charles C. Hoffman, who, according to his obituary, was one of the most extensive landowners in Washington Co., died at the age of 53. He had been kicked in the side seven months before by a young colt, when he was unhitching a team from teh wagon and sustained two broken ribs. However, members of the family believe this had nothing to do with his death. In addition to farming, the family owned a general store in New Minden, Illinois. My husband and members of his family remember the peddling wagon which came to the Covington area one day each week and went from farm to farm selling their wares. Emma and Henry who drove the wagon came to the Reinhardt home for dinner on these days. The wagon was loaded with groceries, bolts of yard goods, thread, various staples, etc. from the store and at teh bottom of the wagon were chicken coops, since they also bought chickens from the farmers. The egg cases were on top. From "Hoffmans 16562 - 1972" Compiled by Bernice Reinhardt | HOFFMAN CHARLES C. (I16616)

| 486 | CHARLES F. BRINK After a brief illness, and almost without warning, Charles F. Brink, one of our most respected citizens, was summoned Tuesday afternoon at 2:50 o'clock in his residence on West Lebanon Street, at the age of 68 years, 1 month, and 19 days. Sunday morning, as was his custom, Mr. Brink and wife attended services in the M. E. church and on Monday morning he was engaged in work at home. During the noon meal he suffered a dizzy spell, but this later left him and he then indulged in reading. At 3:45 p.m., feeling worse, he took to his bed and on Tuesday at 2:50 p.m. a stroke of apoplexy terminated his life. While Mr. Brink had for years, at times, been afflicted with high blood pressure, he continued his trade as builder and no one suspected that the end was so near. Decedent, a son of Charles L. C. Brink and wife, Elizabeth, nee Krughoff, was born February 15, 1865, in North Prairie. In 1889, when a young man, he left for the state of Washington, where he remained over three years. He was married on Thanksgiving Day, November 29,1900, to Emma Finke, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Casper Finke, in North Prairie, by Rev. H. F. Miller, their pastor . In 1920 the family moved to Nashville where they have since resided. Mr. Brink was a master builder, "a workman that needeth not be ashamed," in a mechanical and in a spiritual sense. Recognized as a skillful carpenter, he was a genius at moving houses, accepting contracts which others did not venture to attempt. He was friendly, obliging and had a high sense of honor. His integrity was unquestioned and he remained steadfast under all circumstances. His family life was happy and as member and officer of the Methodist Church he was ever faithful and unswerving. He and his family were very devoted to each other and his happiest moments were spent in his family circle. Surviving him are his bereaved wife and four children, Elinor, Mrs. Arthur Burnett, of East St. Louis; Delta, Mrs. Gardner Bride of Harrisburg; Helen, Mrs. J. P. Friend, of O'Fallon; and Raymond Brink of here. Four Grandchildren, Dolores Burnett, Garda Jean and Gardner Bride, Jr., and Joan Friend; three brothers, Fred Brink of Harviell, Missouri, H. F. W. Brink of Centralia, and William Brink of North Prairie; four sisters, Minnie, Mrs. (Rev.) Theo. Ludwig of Norfolk, Virginia, Mrs. Mary Rademacher of Nokomis, Miss Louise Brink of North Prairie and Miss Elizabeth Brink of St. Louis. Funeral services were held this Thursday afternoon in the M. E. Church, Rev. J. W. A. Kinison officiating, with interment in the M. E. Cemetary in North Prairie. | BRINK CHARLES F. (I00009)
