Notes - The following is from the Boonville Weekly Advertiser - August 26, 1907
Mrs Annie B. Kirchner, wife of the late Casper Kirchner, died Friday night, August 23 at the home of her daughter, Mrs Martin Tucker, in this city. She was born in Germany 77 years ago and came to America 53 years ago and was married in New York on her arrival there. They located in Boonville soon after and have resided here ever since. The deceased leaves two daughters, Mrs Martin Tucker and Mrs John Bauer. The funeral was conducted from the residence Sunday afternoon to the Walnut Grove Cemetery.
My name is Dan Brown. You may not remember me; we exchanged emails a couple of years back on my Kirchner line. At that time I was also talking to a Jochen Kirchner in Germany and through a third gentleman in Germany we were able to pull together a fairly long lineage of the Kirchners; I believe you have all of this information. Anyway, the reason I am writing is that I have a some additional information you may wish to put on the website.
My gg-grandparents were Casper and Anna Kirchner. After some time looking for their graves, I discovered that they are buried in Walnut Grove Cemetery in Boonville (see obits below). I visited the caretaker at WG and learned that they are buried in plots bought by their daughter, Margaret, the wife of Martin Tucker, former Sheriff of Cooper County. The Kirchner's graves are unmarked but are next to Martin & Margaret's grave which is marked. Also buried in this plot in unmarked graves are three of the Tuckers children: Barbara Magdalene (26 Dec 1888 - 18 Jan 1940), Martin E. Jr (no dates), and Lula Marie (no dates). Martin Jr and Lula died in infancy.
In the obit for Anna Kirchner, it states that she immigrated to New York and was married on her arrival there. This is incorrect. Both Casper and Anna came to the US on the Ernestine which sailed from Bremen, Germany. They arrived in New Orleans on 1 June 1854. Most likely they took a steam ship from New Orleans to Boonville; they were married in Cooper County on 12 June 1854.
Finally, I am fairly confident that the character in Emile Paillou's sketch 'Casper's Snake Story' (from Home Town Sketches) is my gg-grandfather, Casper Kirchner. The similarities in name, weight, and grape growing seem to be too many to be coincidence.
Hope this information is of interest.
Best Regards,
Dan
