This map of St. Louis will give you a glimpse of where the Froehly household lived in south St. Louis in 1912. Along the river you will see a small red baloon with an "A" that denotes the location of the house. Keep in mind that the city was much smaller at this time.

Many Germans came to live in south St. Louis back then. As a result, quite a few brewery's sprang up in the surrounding area. There was the Lemp brewery, Falstaff Brewery, and the Anheuser-Busch Brewery.

Mom, JoAnn, & Jack

Here is a picture of Mom holding a young, baby boy named Jack who was born on June 28, 1942. Standing alongside Mom is JoAnn whose birthdate is February 7, 1941. To the best of my knowledge this picture was taken on Theodosia St in St. Louis, Mo. When the picture is enlarged the house number is 720. This was probably the first home for Amel, Virginia, & kids.

It looks like Jack was just a few months old and their clothing was summer-like, so this picture was most likely taken in late summer or early fall of 1942.

Mom must have been 23 since she was born on April 9, 1919.

My sister, Mary recently told me that the location of the families' home was 5746 Theodosia. (Mary has always had a super merory recall.) It was two blocks south of where my Grandparents, Joe & Della Froehly lived.
