A single farm outside of Frohna, Missouri, affords the opportunity
to examine in detail the broad historical roots of one immigrant
group-German-and the unique family trees of two representative
families-Kaempfe and Koenig-through their ancestors' journeys from
Europe to the United States; their acclimation to the New World in
St. Louis, southeastern Missouri, and the farmlands of eastern
Illinois; their expansion across the land and throughout the
decades; and their slow but steady assimilation and loss of Old
World ethnic identity. Biographies of the generation born from 1900
to 1930, the children of Theodor Kaempfe and Lina Koenig, complete
this saga of two immigrant families traveling and taking root in
new American soil. The story of the Kaempfe farm-and all the people
who came and went, those who enjoyed the fruits of its soil and who
grew and thrived there-that story represents real American history
at its best. Also included are ancestry and descendants charts with
numerous surnames: Bachmann, Burfeind, Degenhardt, Etzel, Fadler,
Gemeinhardt, Hacker, Haertling, Hennecke, Hoffstetter. Hoock,
Kaempfe, Koenig, Leuteritz, Lippisch, Mangels, Meyer, Meyr, Monti,
Oswald, Palisch, Passmore, Reuhle, Reuschel, Reuster, Ringler,
Ryan, Schade, Stueve, Tute, and Unger, among others.
