Notes for Gretje Knoop: Early Life in the German Settlement (1) Excerpt from an autobiography written by immigrant Claus Albers in 1889:
"I came to America in 1836. Rebecca Knoop my wife was the second daughter of John & Anna Knoop. Rebecca Knoop came to America with her parents, brothers, and sisters in 1838. My wife's father died of bilious fever in Benton County, Mo in 1843. Her mother died near Versailles, Mo of dropsy of the heart in 1869. We Claus Albers and Rebecca Knoop were united in marriage 1839 in Cincinnati, and moved to St Louis Mo where I engaged in the grocery business for a half year and then removed to a farm in Benton County Mo near my wife's parents and brothers, where we resided about 8 years in the primitive fashion of the pioneers, in a log house first consisting of one room but soon enlarged to two. Here I shot turkeys from the door and deer from the farm yard. At this place in 1844 we united with the German M. E. Church, having previously been members of the Lutheran Church, and our house became a preaching station for the Methodists, until the little society consisting of about eight families built a log church on our farm."
