Dorst Home (Demolished in 1976)
Skyhill Drive
This property stayed in the Dorst family for four generations with the first tax receipts dating back to 1844 . Valentine Dorst (1810-1871), of Bavaria, Germany, built a two-room log house on 80 acres of land which he purchased in 1844. His two sons, William and Fritz, later divided the land.
William (1848-1928) incorporated the log structure when he built this home in the 1870s. William and his wife, Emilia Warmbrodt (1855-1918) raised their seven children here. Two daughters, Lillian and Louise, graduated from Southeast Missouri State Teachers College at Cape Girardeau. Lillian (1893-1963) returned to teach at Oakville School, and Louise was a teacher at Point School.
Charles Winheim married another daughter, Ida Dorst, and in 1920 bought the home and 40 acres of land. Their son, Charles Winheim II, owned the property from 1940 to 1946. Louis Schaefer bought the house and three acres in 1946, and at present the property is owned by a developer.
1 Robert Lightfoot, a Dorst descendant, has these records. ,

Kathrine
BECKER, CHARLES & EHLERS, KATHERINE
Lemay Couple Observe 50 Years of Marriage
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Becker of Susan road, Lemay, will observe their golden wedding anniversary today. Becker, 75, and his wife, the former Miss Katherine Ehlers, 72, were married 50 years ago today in Maxville, Mo. Shortly after their marriage they moved to a home adjacent to the new house in which they now live. Becker, a farmer, retired 15 years ago.
Relatives and close friends helped the couple celebrate their anniversary Sunday with a party and buffet luncheon at the home. They have two sons, George E., secretary-treasurer of the Frigid Refrigerator Service Company, 3232 Olive st., and Emil F., owner of the American Gas Appliance Company, 3903 Olive st.

--------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Becker Observe Golden Wedding
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Becker celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Sunday, January 5th, (1947) at their home on Susan Road, Oakville, St. Louis County, where they were hosts to their children and other members of the immediate family. At. six o'clock a delicious buffet supper was served to 45 guests. It was a gala affair for all in attendance who extended to Mr. and Mrs. Becker their best wishes for many more years of happy married life. Mrs. Becker is a sister of Henry L. Ehlers of Arnold, and has a host of friends in Jefferson County.
Note: (Marriage date was Jan. 8, 1897.)

[NI060] Married Lena Ponzar on 27 January, 1909. Witnesses at the wedding were Henry's brother, William Becker and William's future wife, Lydia Kramer.

According to Lena, she met Henry at a barn dance. She had come with some of her brothers, he with Louis Wambsganz. He was working for Louis' father on a neighboring farm and Louis was married to Lena's sister, Bertha. Henry bet Louis a new hat that he could walk Lena home from the dance. He told Lena about the bet and that he could not afford a new hat. She took pity on him and let him walk her home. (Note: the 1880 census lists Philip and Emma Wamsgans (Wamogans sic), the parents of Louis Wamsgans as being near neighbors of Carl and Phillipine Becker (Baker sic), the grandparents of Henry. Louis was born in St. Louis county in 1883 and he and his family are in Valle Township, Jefferson County, near neighbors of the Ponzars, Lena's parents, in the 1900 census. I haven't been able to find Henry in the 1900 census.

Henry's mother died when he was two and his father remarried about a year later. Henry did not get along well with the step-mother and half brother and sister, feeling they got preferential treatment. He ran away from home at 16 (apparently to Illinois) returning at 19 when he was ill (typhoid). The step-mother and a half sister also came down with the disease and died, but Henry recovered. He remained estranged from the family and refused to go to his father's funeral in 1927. This information was given to me by Henry himself. According to his daughter, Hulda, part of the conflict was due to money that Henry's mother Dorothea Westermann Becker had left in trust ($125 for each of her four children) that the father refused to pay interest on when they inherited it.

Henry apparently was close to his sister Cecelia and brother Bill, but not the oldest brother, Charles. This may have been because the oldest brother apparently remained close to his father (Peter lived with son Charles and family according to 1900 census).

Henry was a fairly short (about 5'6") heavy set (over 200 lbs.). He worked for 25 years for Purina Mills in St. Louis as a truck driver and then for another chemical company (fertilizer and animal feed?) in the same capacity. He retired in 1946.



MARRIAGE: St. Marcus Lutheran Evangelegical, St. Louis, Missouri
South Church Evangelical The South German Evangelical Church, later known as St. Marcus Evangelical and Reformed Church, was founded at the northwest corner of Jackson (Fourth) and Soulard Street, now Lafayette Avenue. It became St. Marks or St. Marcus Church in 1856 and in 1866, constructed a brick church on its original site. Pastor in 1875 was Rev. Henry Braschler. In 1915, the church moved to Russell and McNair Avenues. Known initially as South Church. 1845

1910 Census shows Henry and Lena living at 1505 S. 7th with a boarder named August Schnell. Henry and August both listed as teamsters for "wheat" (Purina Mills?). Henry and Lena lived at this address until December 1923 when the moved to 606 Vulcan Avenue (later renamed Kayser Avenue) in Lemay. they lived the remainder of their lives at this residence, except that Lena lived the last year and a few months of her life in a nursing home in De Soto.

[NI061] Phillipine's maiden name is listed on her tombstone in cemetery on Baumgartner Road. Marriage record indicates they were married 30 Decenber, 1847, about 6 and a half months prior to birth of Peter, well after the births of Dorothea and Elizabeth. Were these two daughters of Carl (or Phillipine) from a previous marriage?

EICHLOCH
Years ago, Eichloch's name was changed to ROMMERSHEIM. It has maybe about 500 people and is located about 15 miles southwest of the city of MAINZ in the present-day German state of RHINELAND-PALATINATE (in German: RHEINLAND-PFALZ) in the region of RHINE-HESSEN (in German: RHEINHESSEN) in the Administrative District (in German: Kreis) of ALZEY-WORMS. Just a few years ago, Rommersheim was annexed by the nearby town of WÖRRSTADT. Wörrstadt (or, without the Umlaut, Woerrstadt) has about 7300 people. So if you want to find Eichloch, you have to look for Wörrstadt on a modern map.
Until 1945, Rhine-Hessen, which included the city of Mainz, was part of the state of HESSEN-DARMSTADT (which, until 1918, was a Grand Duchy). Following World War II, the Palatinate (in German: Pfalz), which up until 1945 was governed as part of Bavaria, the southern half of the Prussian Rhine Province, and Hessen-Darmstadt's region of Rhine-Hessen were combined to form the new state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz). At the same time, the state of Hessen-Darmstadt, minus Rhine-Hessen, and the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau were combined to form the new state of HESSEN.

Marriage record for Philipp Heinrich Becker and Maria Elizabetha Benok in 1815 (I couldn't read the date), so they may be Carl's parents.

The records are mostly very difficult to read; written in old german script and often poor handwriting. I couldn't find any record of marriage for Carl, no birth record for Dorothea, and no record of any Dauth's.

[NI246] BIOGRAPHY: Married Lena Ponzar on 27 January, 1909. Witnesses at the wedding were Henry's brother, William Becker and his wife, Lydia Kramer Becker.

How Henry Becker and Lena Ponzar began courting, as told to Henry Lau by Lena Ponzar. About 1960.
According to Grandma, she met Grandpa at a barn dance. She had gone with some of her brothers, he with Louis Wambsganz. Grandpa was working for Louis' father on a neighboring farm and Louis was married to Grandma's sister, Bertha. Grandpa bet Louis a new hat that he could get Grandma to let him walk her home from the dance. He told Grandma about the bet and that he could not afford a new hat, so she took pity on him and let him walk her home. "And", she said, "that's how the whole damned thing started."

BECKER, Mrs. Marie Magdalene (nee Molt)/Landolt, Fridolin M 09-12-1880 1/ 81 C 96

[NI251] BIOGRAPHY: Relationship is confirmed by 1920 census where she is living with Peter Becker and listed as Dora Benzle, age 78, born in Germany, and sister to Peter. She is also listed as Dorothea Becker daughter of Charles and Philipine Becker in 1850 census, age 8, born in Germany. In the 1900 cenus, she is living with husband Jacob and the children listed herein . In contradiction to this, she lists her and her parents birthplace as Switzerland in the 1900 census, and the year of her immigration as 1870. The children listed in the 1900 census were born between 1887 and 1896. It seems rather odd that Dora was aged 45 to 54 at the birth of her children. Were these grandchildren living with her? Can't find family in 1880 census (n.b.). A millitary pension record (A.com) shows a Jakob Boentzle, Dora Boentzle his widow in 190?. The 1910 (ED 110, image 27) census lists her as living on Telegraph Road, widowed, age 70, and having had 5 children, all living. Also a marriage record from the IGI shows a marriage between Jakob Boenzle and Dorothea Becker on 20 Feburary 1870 at the Zoar Church, Hanover, Jo Daviess County, Illinois.
