Lewis John Dettweiler

 

 

 

Born 1 May, 1811 Beil Be, Switzerland son of Johann Jakob Daetwyler and Anna Katherina Schwab. Parrish records Biel, Be, Swit. Christening register vol. 5 page 291

He served in the army for three years was a carpenter by trade, worked for three years in Naples, Italy before coming to America.  He spoke eleven languages and could read and write seven.  While he was of Swiss ancestry and grew to manhood in Switzerland he was really born in France.  His ancestors lived in Switzerland for some 5oo years prior to his birth.  The occupations of his ancestors were as follows: time maker, calico printer, doctor and carpenter.

 

As a young man Lewis was trained as a cabinetmaker and carpenter by his father.  He migrated to this country working on a ship as a translator for his passage, landing in New Orleans in 1841. Moving up the Mississippi river and settling in Jefferson County, Missouri near Catawissa on LaBarque creek.

 

On the 15th day of June, 1841 he married Phebeanna (Peggy )Heiott (Hyatt) in Calvey Township, Franklin County, Missouri by Justice of the Peace Thomas Bay, she being the daughter of Eli Hyatt and Margaret Woodland who lived in the near Franklin County.  Her family was of early English stock migrated from Montgomery County, Kentucky around 1828 listed in the 1830 Franklin County Census PG 147. There marriage is on file Jefferson County Missouri Vol. A page 188

 

On the 28th of August 1842 records in Hillsboro, Mo shows that he purchased 60 acres of land on LaBarque creek from David and Sarah Wright.

 

LaBarque School was built near his home. Originally it was a one room school This small building still standing, although the bell tower and awnings are not there, it is located on highway FF very near Bob Hientz ranch. It has long since been closed but it stands as a monument of time gone by for the community.  It was better equipped than most because of the benches that Lewis built for the school.  One child of theirs, Albert, taught at this school.

 

Lewis was an educated man, speaking several languages.  An old priest attached to a convent near the farm used to visit with him to brush up on his Latin.  Notes gathered   said that he hanged the last person for horse thief from a bridge in Jefferson County

Lewis and Phoebe had twelve children all born and raised at the old homestead.  The first one James Valentine born Feb. 14, 1843 the last Eli Frances born April 18, 1868.

 

August 23, 1852 At the circuit court building in Union, Mo Louis Dettwyler took the oath of allegiance and became a citizen of the United States   (Circuit Court Records Vol. 2 & 3 page 273) which states:

              In Vacation August 23, 1852

On this 23rd day of August AD, 1852, before me the clerk of the Circuit Court in and for the county of Jefferson appeared Louis Dettwyler, a native of Switzerland age 41 years, who do duly sworn upon his oath declares, that it is bona fide his intension to become a citizen of the United States and remove forever all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign person, potentate, or sovereignty whatsoever and particularly the Governor of Bern of whom he is at Present a subject and sworn to and subscribed before me date aforesaid Tho C Fletcher Clerk      signed  Louis Dettwyler

 

 

On August 2, 1868 his wife Phoebe died. While working in the garden she was stricken and died shortly after. Cause of death was from a Hernia . She was buried on the family farm.

 

Son, William and wife Susan lived with Louis for a short time. Their daughter Rachael died and was buried on the family farm August 21, 1884.

 

As old age took its toll on Lewis it became necessary for him to leave the farm and move to Lebanon, Missouri into the home of son Lewis C. Dettweiler.   Lewis John Dettweiler died December 7, 1893 in Lebanon, Missouri  He is buried at the city Cemetery in Lebanon, Mo. A tombstone was erected on his grave. Some years later a large tombstone was placed there.  On this stone is shows his marriage to Phoebe and where he was born with dates.  On the back it shows all there children by name.

 

Ann Clary daughter to Lewis was in control of the property and had an opportunity to rent the farm out, so in 1894 they rented the farm for two years for $ 50. Per year. The family had some boring done on the property in hopes of finding coal under the sandstone.  Their expectations were that they would later sell the farm for about $2000. It was in October of 1898 when Ann Clary went to Pacific to meet with Henry Oberhaus to arrange sale of the old Dettweiler farm Their agreement was that he would purchase 8/10 of the farm for the sum of  $ 720. Minor children owned the other 2/10 and he would purchase them when they became of age. Papers show that the graves in the Dettweiler cemetery were moved to Pacific, Missouri and layed to rest in the old City Cemetery.

Records show the farm of Louis Detweiler was purchased from David and Sarah Wright in 1842 for the sum of $40.00.  Records indicate that Lewis Detweiler built the original log house, which stood on this property.  The original structure appears to be a two-story log home with a lean-to type addition to both ends of the log structure.  Photos of the original structure taken in early 1900’s in my procession

 

The family decided to sell the Old Detweiler Farm and on 20 October 1898. They sold 8/10ths to Henry Oberhaus for $720.00.  The other 2/10th owned by minor children.

The 28 October 1931 Henry Oberhaus sold the farm to Harry and Marie Antionette Witte. 

 

April 7th 1955 Geraldine M. Fink bought the farm and about ten acres.  Later she sold the farm to Harry F. and Stella Weber.

 

The 22 April 1957 Geraldine sold the property to Raymond Jaudis. 

 

April 1959 Arthur and Janet Nielson purchased the farm.  After the death of the Nielsen's the family kept the farm for weekend getaways. 

 

It appears the next owners of the property were Lakewood LLC Inc.  As they were the sellers of the property to the now present owners Larry and Debbie Ross.

 

Through many years of vandalism and fires not much is left standing of the original structure.  The stone front entryway is all that is left of this ancient dwelling that served many generations with need, fun, and excitement.  Though the logs are long burnt you still get a warm feeling when you round the curve in the drive and see the "majestic stone entryway and chimney," in the distance.

Obituary

Departed this life on the 2d day of August, A. D. 1868, Jefferson Co, Missouri, Phoebe Ann Detweiler, consort and wife of Mr. Louis Detweiler, in her forty-fifth year of her age, by Hermia.

   Mrs Detweiler leaves a large and very helpless family to regret her loss, being the mother of twelve children, eleven of them living, and nine are living at home.  She was a most exemplary lady, and led the life of a sincere Christian.  As a wife she was most obedient and affectionate; as a mother, tender and indulgent; and as a neighbor the most estimable that could be desired.

   A husband mourns the lost of a dutiful companion, children, an indulgent parent, and friend, a kind and generous neighbor.    Becoming a member of the Baptist Church in the year of 1841, she remained a self denying and consistent member to the day of her death, she was but a few hours sick before death came to her relief; and during the few hours of her agony, she exhibited that fortitude and patience, which unmistakably foretells a true follower of Christ.  Her family has sustained an irreparable loss, but what is their loss; is her gain.  May her good husband find consolation in this hour of his affliction, and the  hildren find a parent in  Him that saith :  Suffer little children to come unto me, : &c.

 

                                                    We know that she is happy

                                                      With her Angel-plumage on,

                                                   But our hearts are very desolate

                                                      To think that she is gone.

 

She was buried on the Dettweiler farm.  When the homestead was sold she and her grandchildren were moved to Pacific Cemetery Deed  # 123 purchased by  son William Dettweiler 2nd January 1899  shows first grave purchased July 1, 1896

James Valentine Detweiler

 

Born 14 Feb 1843 Jefferson County Mo

Died 6 Mar 1863  Memphis Tn.

 

Enlisted in the Union Army 22 Aug, 1862 age 19. He spelled his name Detwiler at that time.  He served in the 30th Regiment Infantry Volunteers Company H under Captain Hopkins in the rank of Corporal.  He had black hair, was 5 feet 8 inches tall, eyes were dark, complexion dark. His occupation was farmer.  He gave his nativity as Jefferson county Missouri and place of residence at the time of enlistment as Franklin County.  He was wounded at the Arkansas Post and  died in the hospital in Memphis of chronic diarrhea. The official Army report says that he became sick 7 February and was sent to the post hospital in Memphis on 20 February 1863. He was in the hospital until 6 March when he died.  According to the article he was not wounded are ever fought a battle.  The report was signed by J.C. Farnsworth, Colonel, U. S. Army dated 9 Feb., 1863.  This all came about by father Lewis attempts to get a pension from the death of James. Many letters went back and forth between Lewis and The Department of Interior.  However, Lewis died before the matter produced anything.  The last letter was mailed in November Lewis died in December.  Most likely James is buried in the Civil War Cemetery in Memphis. James did not marry or have any children.

Biographical of Mary Louise Detweiler

 

The following is from a newspaper article about the death of Mary Grampp  The Watchman

 

Pioneer Woman Who Died, was Bonaparte Heir.

Mrs. Grampp,  whose Grandmother was an Indian Herb Doctor decendant to Austrian Nobility.

In the obituary of Mrs. Mary Grampp of Crondelet Ave., Clayton prepared by a daughter, some interesting facts and family corrections are brought out about this.

Pioneer lady who died on October 15, at the age of 82 years. 

Born January 11, 1851 at LaBarque Creek, Jefferson Co. Missouri.

Mrs. Grampp was the Daughter of Pioneer Parents who struggled in that wilderness to build  home away from civilization and in closer contact with the Indians.

Her Grandfather, Jacob Hyatt, was called “Great Bear,” because of his strength.

The name was given to him by the Indians.

Her Grandmother, wife of Jacob Hyatt, was known and loved by the Indians and white

People and was prominent as an “herb Doctor,” because of her great skill in blending herbs and administering to the sick.  It was often told by Mrs. Grampp who assisted her mother in the preparations of the herb remedies and many times took her place in caring for the sick, that Indians traveled for several days in order to get her medicine.  They were never afraid of Indians because of the friendship existing between them and her Grandmother. 

On her Fathers side Mrs. Grampp was in direct line to the Austrian Throne, and was also a first cousin to Josephine Bonaparte.  Her Fathers folks fled from France to Switzerland during the religious wars and later came to the United States in a sail boat, reaching New Orleans about the year 1835.  “Actually 1840.” 

Her Father was Louis Detweiler (Ludwig Jakob Daetwiler) a native of Alsace Lorraine. He spoke 11 languages and could read and write 7.  Thus on his voyage to American served as an interpreter. 

Her Mother was Phoebe Ann Hyatt, a native of Kentucky.

Mrs. Grampp was the oldest of 11 children, (Oldest Daughter in 12 children) “seven boys and four girls,” (seven boys and five girls), and after the death of her mother in 1868, she assumed the responsibility of caring for the family, the youngest of which, a boy, Eli Francis, was four months old.  She has three brothers living.  Albert, Arnold, and Eli Francis.

Mrs. Grampp, living at LaBarque until 1872, when she became the wife of George C. Grampp, and moved to Manchester.  Later they came to “the Old Grampp Homestead,” on Clayton Road near what is now Big Bend Boulevard, and in 1886 took up their residence at the address in which she died. 

She became the Mother of 9  children, 5 of whom are living, Mrs. Lena Blanton, Rev. F.W. Grampp, and Mrs. Bertha Baumback of St. Louis, Mrs. Rose Seavers of Fort Scott Kansas, and Mrs. Emma Spencer of Clayton, who resided with her Mother. 

On moving to Clayton Mr. And Mrs. Grampp built a 13 room residence and were among the “early residents,” of the county seat.  Mrs. Grampp was one of the first members of the Clayton Methodist Church, and addition to being active in Church circles was also prominently connected with school work, assisting in raising funds and taking part in many plays given at the Sangerbund Hall. 

After the death of Mr. Grampp, Mrs.Grampp had to shoulder the responsibilities of caring for her family. 

Her funeral occurred on October 18, from the Bopp Funeral Church at Clayton to Memorial Park Cemetary.  Rev. B.V. Powell   Pastor of the Methodist Church conducted the services, assisted by Rev.Walter Langtery, Retired Pastor of the Central Presbyterian  Church.

Other Detweilers have migrated to the Jefferson, Franklin County area.  While my records indicate that Louis was the first I would like to mention  on Jan 19, 1852 on the ship Adolphine landing in New York with passengers Rosa age 36,  Marie age 26 , and Heth Dettwyler age 32  and Ludwig age 3, with them was Franz Schindler age 27.  My records indicate that Franz was married to Marie who later died and he married Rosa.  They setteled in nearby Franklin County. just south of Pacific.
