    • The following is a transcription supplied by Frances Gretchen (Klein) Leenerts of an obituary for Friedrich Ernst Plöger which she reported had appeared on 18 October 1912 in the Marthasville (Missouri) Record.

      After a lingering illness of about one year, Father Ploeger passed away at his home one mile west of Holstein, Missouri, Sunday evening 6 October 1912, and was buried Wednesday 9 October in the Evangelical Cemetery at Holstein, Missouri. Friedrich Ernst Ploeger was born at Lemgo, Lippe, Germany 1 April 1830. When he was nineteen years old he left his fatherland to make this country his future home. The first year he lived at St. Louis, then came to Lippstadt, Missouri, was one of the founders of the Evangelical congregation. In 1857 he was married to Miss Christine E. Auf-Der-Haar. After they had lived for nine years at Lippstadt, Missouri, the young couple moved to a place one and a half miles north of Holstein, Missouri; but after three years, again they moved to Lippstadt, Missouri and lived there again for nine years. Finally they settled down on their old home place, one mile west of Holstein. On 7 April 1907 Mr. and Mrs. Ploeger celebrated their golden anniversary, but soon after were parted as Mrs. Ploeger died 14 June 1907. This union was blessed with ten children; three of them went to their eternal rest. They are Wilhelm Henry, aged 15 years in 1881; Maria E., wife of Fred Wiemeyer of Higginsville, Missouri aged 28 years in 1892; Minna S., wife of Henry Leffmann of Mayview, Missouri, aged 30 years in 1901. The other seven children were all present at their father's funeral. They are: Henry W. of Murphysbora, Illinois; Anna W. wife of Herman Schroer of Higginsville, Missouri; Fred C. of Pinckney, Missouri; August W. of Kansas City, Missouri; Emma F. wife of William Dustmann of Pinckney, Missouri; Robert W. of Treloar, Missouri; Hilda M. wife of Gustav Timmerberg living on the father's place. Besides these children father Ploeger leaves twenty-five grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Of his 82 years, 6 months and 6 days of earthly pilgrimage, Father Ploeger lived 62 years in Warren County, Missouri, was a faithful member of our congregation since 1865. When he still was in the best of health, he selected the bible text himself to be used at his funeral sermon which was Ier. 31.3 and which the writer gladly made use of. F. Egger, Pastor.

      Rev. F. Egger was the pastor of the German Evangelical Immanuels Church at Holstein, Missouri. Since 1957 this congregation has been known as Immanuels United Church of Christ.
