August Kroeger
August Kroeger, deputy county clerk of Cole County, Mo., was born in Jefferson City, Mo., August 28, 1858, and is the son of Gerhard H. and Annie Maria (Dulle) Kroeger. Gerhard H. Kroeger who was born in Hanover, Germany, was reared to agricultural pursuits in his native country, and came to the United States in 1846. He made his home in St. Louis for some time, followed city contracting, and then, upon the organization of the Jefferson City Brick Yard Company, he took an important interest in it with H. H. Altgilbers, G. H. Dulle, and this they carried on for thirty years. Mr. Kroeger sold his interest about 1880, and has since lived a retired life. He was married here to Miss Dulle, and the fruits of this union were five sons and five daughters, of whom but three sons and two daughters survive, the rest having died when quite young. Of those living, Henry is engaged in brick-making in Jefferson City, Margaret is the wife of Joseph Loux, August, Annie (at St. Louis, and is connected with the School for the Blind) and Philip. August grew to manhood in Jefferson City, and was there married to Miss Margaret Beumel, a native of Centre Town, Cole County, and the daughter of John and Annie Margaret (Bruns) Beumel. To August Kroeger and wife have been born one daughter, Antoinette. Himself and wife are regular communicants of St. Peter's congregation of the Roman Catholic Church. Mr. Kroeger is a Catholic Knight. He has held the office of deputy collector three years and was deputy county clerk four years. He has built him a fine house, and is prepared to enjoy life.
