The story of St John's Lutheran Church in Schubert. Before Beginning pg 1: Telling the story of St Johns factually is difficult...due to lack of local records... It is thought that the records from this era, which had been placed in the safe of the Schubert store [Uncle Martin written in the margin], were destroyed when fire razed this old community landmark.... Pg "2" The Struggle to Start 1843-1868" - Osage Point Church... Jan 5 1844... obtained 7.87 acres of the adjoing property from Lawrence (Lorenz) Shubert (Schubert) and his wife Catherine for the use of Osage Point Church... part of the property was used for a cemetery... located on the first road east of the present property, about .3 of a mile off Highway 50... a few stones remain...across the present road from this cemetery, is a clearing which is believed to be the site of the log building used as the Osage Point Church... the property on which it stood later was part of the Lorenz Schubert farm. In his will, dated Feb 4, 1868, Lorenz Schubert bequeathed "the logs and time in (the) house known as the old church house" to his son Henry."
Pg 2 "3" - Whatever "the old church house" was, it is certain that the Gospel was being proclaimed and the Sacraments administered in this commujnity during this period... service conducted on the farm now owned by Victor Schubert...
Pg 4 "3" - purchase of the present site of St John's in 1866... this plot of 4.45 acres had been sold to...to see to the erection of a house of worship for the Methodist Episcopal Church...sold this parcel of land to Lorenz Schubert, George Schuster and Albert Koehler, trustees for the Osage Point Church... On Feb 18, 1867, Lorenz Schubert and ... sold the property belonging to that church since 1844 to George Schubert for $166. [questions as to why both churches sold the large plot and moved to 4.45 acre tract were raised - Civil War may have played a part... it split Methodism for 16 yrs-no suitable explanation was given] For whatever reasons, the Osage Point Church had a new home.
"The Ripening Years 1869-1920" Since the pledge committee was successful in its efforts to raise funds, a March 3, 1889 meeting resolved to build a new church... the entire building will be a massive one... Mssrs ? Urban, H. Schubert, F Walther, M Weith, etc were to serve as the building committee. By Jan 2, 1890 the churchwas completed except [for some minor cleaning and installation of gutters, etc.]... the old church built around 1870 was used as a school house...

LETTER FROM GERMAN HELPS REVEAL DATA ON 1st COLE COUNTY BREWERY:
What would you do if the government came along and slapped a 10 percent tax on your farm products? Would you raise a storm or perhaps move from the country?
You probably would do the first, but you undoubtedly wouldn't move from the country. But there was a farmer in Germany who couldn't stand the idea of such a tax when it was imposed by a feudal type baron back in the early 1840's.
He moved right out of the country, sailing to the United States and settled in Jefferson City. As far as taxes go, he didn't know what he was gettting his progeny into. But when the farmer was in Jefferson City, he didn't go for farming but struck out for living by producing something for which the Germans are even more famous--the production of beer.
He operated the first brewery in Cole County. You could even find it on Highway 50 East, a couple of miles east [it was west] of Schuberts.
The history of this farmer--his name was Paulus Wagner--and his enterprise, was brought to the public limelight last fall when Cole County Clerk William Tellman received a letter from Rudolph Poehlmann, another German farmer and a descendant of Wagner. The letter, written in English longhand, told of Poehlmann's relative--Wagner--who had immigrated to the United States in 1843.
Took letter to LePage
Tellman, who had never heard of Wagner, took the letter to County Recorder Henry LePage. The idea was for LePage to look through his land deed records to find whether there was a record of Wagner ever owning land in the county.
But LePage didn't have to do any research. His memory of the family genealogy goes back generations. Wagner, as it turned out, was his wife's great, great grandfather. A look into the deeds record in LePage's office substantiated what his memory had recalled.
LePage began to dig into the history of his relative. He discovered the date of 1843 was a year off. Actually, Wagner immigrated to the United States a year earlier.
Brewery Now a Cave
The office records show Wagner bought a tract of land now owned by Lorenze and Arthur Mueller on Highway 50 East. LePage talked to the Mueller brothers and the brewery was revealed to him as a cave where Wagner's beer was stored.
LePage theorized that the brewery was operated up to about the time of the Civil War, in the 1860's. Other research uncovered the fact that Wagner's two sons--George and Christopher--were naturalized in 1847. Their descendants can be found working in the businesses of Jefferson City.
(Another photo was on page one--cannot read caption as this is from a copy of article and this was covered over). On page two, there is another picture showing Poehlmann, with caption: "Rudolph Poehlmann--he was the man who precipitated the search into the life of Paulus Wagner, first brewery owner in the county. Poehlman from Germany wrote to County Clerk William Tellman last fall to uncover some of the history of his relative. (News-Tribune Photo)"
As you approach the cellar you see a huge concrete archway extending back 30 feet into the cave. Then you can walk back some 120 feet int the bowels of the hill where Paulus and his help stored beer. With dynamite, they blasted the three large rooms from solid limestone.
The first roon you enter is 30 feet long and just as wide; the second--the largest of the three--is 90 feet long and was where most of the beer was stored; and the third room--much like the first--is about 30 feet.
Serviceable Cellar
The blasting work done by Paulus, his sons and his help, required a knowledge of the underlying strata of the hill. But the impressive thing is the muscle and sweat that must have gone in construction of the subterranean warehouse.
Blasting apparently left a rough, unshapely cavern. But the men later went in with a pick and shovel and shaped it into a serviceable cellar with rock shelves and a ventilating system which consisted of a long pipe running from the third room to the top of the hill.
Not far from the hill is the grave of Paulus Wagner and his wife Kunigunde. The stones are simple, the only inscriptions being the dates of birth and death. Paulus, the marker shows, was born April 20, 1795 and died June 26, 1871, while his wife died eight years later, March 5, 1879. [Paul LePage letter 5-5-1991: By the way in that same article the death of Kunigunde Wagner - is March 5, 1879 - should have been 15 March 1870]
After LePage gathered his information, which by this time had grown to almost voluminous proportions, he returned a letter to Poehlmann in Germany, covering much of the genealogy and history of his "relative."
LePage says another letter from Poehlmann is forthcoming.
Grandchildren Here
Grandchildren of Christopher Wagner living in Jefferson City are Christopher Wagner, Conrad Wagner and Mrs. Emil Schnieder. His great grandchildren living here were identified as Mrs. Henry G LePage, Mrs. Ed Arnett, Roy Schneider, Mrs. Glenn Goe, Mrs. William Nixon and Nelse Addison, Jr.
Alfred Peasner is a great grandson of George Wagner, one of Paulus' sons. Great grandchildren are Ada Peasner, Evelyn Peasner, Mrs. Louis Ott and Adolph Peasner. [Peasner crossed off and Wagner written in]
Another generation removed on George's side are these Jefferson Citians: James Peasner, Ruth Wagner, Mrs. Percy Steppleman, Frederick Miller, and Elmer Ott.
LePage estimates that there are more than 50 relatives of Paulus Wagner living today in Cole County. And in addition to these there are at least 20 others living outside and county and state. And it was the independence of one farmer who disliked a 10 percent tax that brought these people and the first brewery to Cole County.

Address of Rudolf Poehlmann: 8651 Schwarzach 20, ueber Kulmbach, Germany.

Letter from Paul LePage 5-5-1991 to Bob and Pam are answers as to whom the relatives were in the article above.
1. August [R127] and Thomas [R135] Wolfrum neither married.
2. Julius Wolfrum [R136] did not have any children.
3. Sonnis Schubert and Margaretha? I will continue to research on them.
4. Christopher Julius Wagner [R179] who was my Grandfather, the son of William, Grandson of Christopher and Elizabeth.
Christopher Julius Samuel Wagner: the son of Julius Wagner also a grandson of Christopher and Elizabeth.
My great grandfather William names a son Christopher Julius (my Grandfather) also William's brother Julius named a son Chrisopher Julius Samual thus causing some confusion. Christ JS and Christ J were cousins.
5. Elizabeth Grandchildren [MR100] - Louis Scovern, Nellie Noble, Mamie Ferris and Charles Scovern were children of Samual Scovern and Pauline Wagner. Sam Scovern died (I don't know what from) about two weeks before his father in law Christ Wagner was killed in the train wreck, about 5 Dec 1881 since the wreck was 18 Dec 1881. Sam was in his thirties and Pauline died about 10 years later, also a very young woman. They are buried in Wood Lawn, JC MO.
6. Mrs Ed Arnett (Mildren Schneider) [R1622] daughter of Emil and Pauline Wagner Schneider - deceased. Roy Schneider (brother of Mildred) and son of Emil and Pauline, also deceased. Have two sisters still living: Lillian Hunziker - Jefferson City, Angeline Muder - Fairfield, ILL.
7. Mrs. Glen Goe (Florence Miller) still living today in Jeff City (in fact I visited her today-very sound mind). Florence is the daughter of Frederick [R423] and Margaretha Wagner Miller [R180] - also in that article is Fredrick Miller, he was Florence's brother- some spell that Mueller, some Miller - Florence said her parents & Grandparents spelled it Miller.
8. Mrs Wm Nixon (Rosemary Addison) [R422] and Nelse Addison Jr. [R418] (her brother) are children of Nelson Addison and Elsie Wagner - both living in Jeff City today, also have a brother William Addison [R421] living in FL.
9. Mrs. Percy Steppleman [R191] (Jack's mother) is a sister to Elmer Ott - she is a daughter of Louis Ott & Hilda Wagner [R1626].
10. Adolph Peasner - Evelyn no knowledge of Adolph - I wonder if it was a misprint or a mistake on the part of the reporter? By the way, in that same article the death of Kunigunda Wagner is March 5, 1870 - should have been 15 March 1870.
11. Phillip Schmidt and Augustence Wagner? I do not know but will try to locate something.[don't have either in PAF by those names.
12. 1981 Larry Koenigafeld owns land at old brewerey site, Harold Verdat owns property just east of Larry.
13. NY Immigration records checked, lots of Wagners but no Paulus.
14. Schwartzach - according to Paul LePage 3/1991 - 4 or 5 different ones, but it is close to Kulmbach.

CHECK OUT: In religeous book only says children are George, Christopher and Kunnigunda. Who or where are William and Margaretha?
