MAURATH, MORT posted by John L. Maurath on Wednesday, July 1, 1998

Is it possible for anyone to tell me how many towns along Hwy.21 in Jefferson County had printed newspapers in the year 1934? And, are these archived anywhere in any historical depository or elsewhere, that I can access? My Great-unlce, Leo George MAURATH and his friend "Buss" MORT, were travelling from one party to another, late on the night of Friday, November 9, 1934, or that Saturday. They had been drinking, and Leo (who was driving his '29 Roadster with rumble seat), tried to make a sharp turn which he had missed, and rolled the car. Buss was thrown clear, and Leo was crushed under the car and died one week later in City Hospital in St.Louis. This accident happened somewhere along Hwy.21 in Jefferson County, and I'm trying to find out where it happened, and a newspaper account of the incident. Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please respond to conlaeth@juno.com Thank you so much!

KNAUSS, REISER posted by Connie Reichart on Saturday, August 1, 1998

Seeking information on parents and family members of Mary Frances KNAUSS who is listed on the 1850 census of Jefferson County, MO as a 5 year old orphan living with her sister, Barbara REISER. Barbara died in 1854. Her husband, Valentine, remarried and Mary Frances is not in 1860 census of Jefferson County. I do not know what happened to her until she appears in Morgan County, IL where she married Bernard Stenemeyer in 1864 and spent the remainder of her life there. In the 1850 census, there is a Frederick Knauss and an Adam Knauss whom I presume to be her brothers. I can find no further reference to either of them. Leopold Knauss who I know is a brother was living with Philip and Sophia Reiser. Cannot establish a relationship. Mary Frances and Bernard's daughter, Sophia, was my grandmother. I have always thought there must be a connection for her to be given that name. Leopold also had a daughter named Sophia. Leopold lived in St. Louis County near the Meramac River across from Arnold in Jefferson County. Any information would help me. Thanks
