Notes for FRITZ KOEHN:
Fritz was a brother to Louise (Lizzie) Koehn, Kleibrink. When their widowed mother moved them to
Brenham, Texas, Fritz had to work for his room and board with farmers. He was eight when his mother
married Wilhelm Stegmann. At this time, I am not sure how old he was when he started working for his
room and board. He worked for the Lahrmann and Schleinamann families. At one time, the farm he
worked on was close to an "insane asylum". Fritz was left alone to tend the farm animals when the
family went on trips and the screaming from the asylum was terrifying to him. When Fritz was fourteen
years old, he was not with his mother, as stated in the 1900 census. His life was quite hard until he
was grown. When he went to work for Georg Beerwinkel life was easier. He continued to work for Mrs.
Beerwinkel, when Georg died. In 1908, Fritz and Melissa Ringener Beerwinkel married. Fritz loved
children and he and Melissa had four. Fritz Koehn was on the Church Council at the St. James
Lutheran Church at New Wehdem, Brenham, Texas. He and Melissa also donated land to the Church.
In later years, Fritz would drive to Waco, pick up Minnie (his sister) and her husband, Otto Dresner, and
drive up to Clifton to visit Fritz and Louise Gaskamp Kleibrink.

5. (MINNIE) LOUISE WILHELMINE ENGEL KOEHN was born 02 Apr 1888 in Saint Louis, Missouri, and died 24 Jun 1978 in Waco, McLennon County, Texas. She married OTTO WILHELM DRESNER 23 Nov 1911 in Falls County, Texas, son of
ELMIN DRESNER and MARTHA. He was born 13 Apr 1887 in Waco, McLennon County, Texas, and died
07 Jul 1974 in Waco, McLennon County, Texas.
Notes for (MINNIE) LOUISE WILHELMINE ENGEL KOEHN:
Minnie told her children stories of her life and some of those stories were of Saint Louis, Missouri. Her
daughter Alice said that her mother was four years old when her father, Theodor, died. But that her
mother remembered him telling stories of fighting hand to hand combat in Germany. She remembered
the tears on her father's face. Minnie told them about their family living in tall apartment buildings,
where the clothes line would hang across the alleys and they would reel their clothes in. She was glad
when they moved to Texas, because they could play on the ground. It was thought that Christian and
Sophie looked like Theodor and Minnie favored her mother.
