      Email and photo sent as attachment, to J. Mark Fiegenbaum on 20 August 2002. Byron wrote: "I have a photo of Fred Wessler taken in 1956. I attended a reunion in
      Weldon Springs that year. The photo includes Fred Wessler, my Grandmother-Anna Jungermann, my mother-Esther Knollenberg Nolte, me and others. It is inscribed on the back in my Mother's handwriting "Weldon Springs 1956 Blase & Wessler Reunion Uncle Fred Wessler 98 years old." The photo is attached.....The information on my picture suggests that Fred was born in 1858, not 1856. And obviously the death date is wrong, because he was alive in 1956."

      John Henry Louis Wesseler & Sophia Wulfekammer. In the original typescript, the date of "1 October 1894 in Weldon Springs, St. Charles County, Missouri" is given as a second birth date for John. This is an obvious error which someone has corrected by hand so that the same information is now given as a marriage date for John and Sophia. However, this appears to be in error as well - John would have been 76 years old at the time of his marriage, which would have taken place 19 years after the birth of his 12th and last child. In all probability, 1 October 1894 is the date of his death.
