INTERNATIONAL

Congratulations!

As this celebration marks the 100th Anniversary of the founding of
your prosperous little city of Teutopolis and the surrounding thriving
community — we closely associate this event with our Centennial on the
invention of the reaper which was invented in the year 1831 — only 8 years
before the settlement of Teutopolis— Also — Weber Bros, your McCormick
Deering Fai-m Implement and International Motor Truck Dealers have
been distributors of our line for almost 50 years. A line of farm ma-
chinery and trucks through all those years have had high pubUc acceptance.

Your patronage with this firm and the International Harvester Com-
pany has been and always will be — a great pleasure — We shall always
strive to give you the latest and most economical machinery that is pos-
sible for our trained engineers to design.

1^ BANKING LOOKS AHEAD ^

THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIVING

We have the highest standard of living in the world. But we have not
attained it by divine right. Instead we have earned it by our efforts.

Down through the vears our people have practiced thrift. They have
been resourceful, courageous, far sighted. They have worked hard. And
our country has forged steadily ahead.

This bank believes that so long as these basic American principles endure,
and as long as business men, banks, the people and the government work
hand in hand, we will go forward.

Our financial services can be very helpful to those who wish to move
ahead.

Greetings!

The Teutopolis Centennial Com-
mittee Extends a Hearty Wel-
come to Each and Everyone tak-
ing part in the Festivities of the
100th Anniversary of the Found-
ing of Teutopolis; to share the
memories of our historic past and
to renew our belief in a much
greater future.

HOW NAME TEUTOPOLIS WAS
SELECTED

After the land had been distributed by lot,
the question of the name to be given the new
settlement was next taken up. The follow-
ing names were proposed: New Cincinnati,
Covington, Newix)rt, Sebastopol, Muenster,
Hanover, Germantown, and St. Peter. The
names Hanover and Gennantown seem to
have been most acceptable, but the postal au-
thorities at Washington informed the mem-
bers of the Company that these names had
already been adopted by settlements in Clin-
ton County, lUinois. Thereupon it was de-
cided by a majority of votes to call the new
settlement ST. PETER. The Rev. WiUiam
Pisbach, a member of the Company, how-
ever, or as Rev. Anselm Puetz, O. F. M.,
learned of Mr. Clement Uptmor I, the Rt.
Rev. John B. Purcell, BisHop of Cincinnati,
proposed the name of TEUTOPOLIS. The
members were reluctant to adopt this
"strange" name; but when they were told
that it signified "City of Teutons, or Ger-

^ mans," they were satisfied and adopted it in

t-, place of that of St. Peter.

Patronize your Local Druggist

There are times when you find it a conven-
ience and accommodation to have a good drug
store in your immediate community where a
Registered Pharmacist is in charge.

When you buy drugs, drug sundries, medi-
cines for your stock and poultry, go to your
druggist — he sells only the best of drugs.

Money spent at home helps pay your taxes.
Boost your home town.

One of the things people Hke best about
Griesedieck Bros. Light Lager Beer is its perfect
unifoiTnity. You'll never be disappointed with
that smooth, matchless DOUBLE-MELLOW
flavor, made mellow in the brewing, kept mellow
by the removal of air from the bottle. It's al-
ways first for thirst, always right for real re-
freshment. Join the thousands who say, "I'll take
Griesedieck Bros. Beer." That's the password to
pleasure.

CNCE W A HUNDRED YEARS

Contributed by Ben Stockman, Teutopolis

Believe it or not if Ripley knew,

About our wooly whiskered crew,

He'd gather us in and start a zoo ;

For the sights you see in this Jamboree,

Would make any squirrel climb a tree;

You see whiskers you never knew,

Every color and every hue.

Anything but green or blue ;

Whiskers red and whiskers gray.

Some the color of new mown hay ;

Some their razor they must have lost,

Others are brown with a little jack frost;

Some have whiskers nice and brovni,

With a fuzz that's soft as down;

Some have whiskers tough as wire,

Others blaze like a prairie fire ;

Some are trimmed — some grow wild,

Others so sharp they must 'ave been filed;

Some are light, some are dark,

Some look like relics out of Noah's Ark ;

Others have a moustache to adorn their face,

Comes in handy for soup after grace ;

Don't judge by looks — this whisker race,

For many a stubble hides an angel face.

Now I guess you'd like to know.

How we make our whiskers grow;

Some use honey, so I've heerd,

But honey alone never grew a beard ;

Axel grease or Umburger cheese.

They all can use what e'er they please ;

I know what I use but I won't tell,

If you don't like my whiskers, just go to — well

Home remedies seem to fare the best,

They really make beards that stand the test ;

All night long we toss and moan.

All day long we scratch and groan ;

Walking thru the woods the ticks are bad,

Getting them out really makes us sad ;

With haunted looks we are never at ease.

Just hke a hound dog scratching fleas.

When a mother looks at her whiskered son,
She says a prayer and wants to run;
My gosh ! My gosh ! what have I done,
To let such a wooly brute call me Mum;
There's many a mama's little lad,
Who brags all day about his whiskered dad,
If I eat my wheaties and I ain't bad?
Can I grow a beard just like dad?
No — No — my son, that will never do
Look at the suffering poor dad goes thru
Eat your spinach, you've said enough,
I'm sick and tired of this he man stuff;
Whiskers are for pop alone;
So you can wait until you're grown.

Now you Petunia Blitz and Tulip Blots,
Violet Blues and Forget Me Nots;
Now is the time to get busy and hustle,
Get out your hoop skirt — shake your bustle;
Do up your hair in those nice long curls.
That will make the men go around in whirls ;
Then get busy with the old spinning wheel,
And learn to dance the Virginia Reel ;
The square dance, polka and the Heel 'n toe,
Man man — look at that hoop skirt go;
Make those rough-tough-wooly galoots,
Wear hickory shirts and cow hide boots;
Make 'em some bibs and tuck them in,
And wipe the gravy from off their chin.

Now there are many old ginks like me,

Who are just too old for such Jamborees;

What do we care — ^we'll all be there.

If they have to take us in an old wheel chair ;

We'll try to forget our aches and pain,

Throw away our crutch and cane;

And sing —

"HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN."

I WON^T COME DOWN TIL
.^^)i-^^ YOU GET ME A
^ SURGE MILKER/'

sfuy-

r£T SENSIBLE.'

If cows could talk, this cartoon wouldn't
seem silly because EVERY cow prefers
being milked by the SURGE — for sev-
eral SENSIBLE reasons:

1. It milks all cows better with a light
pull for an easy milker — a heavy pull
for a hard milker and a progressively
increasing pull on all cows as they
are milked out.

2. It gets more milk {less stripping).

Surge Owners prefer Surge because there
are only 4 inches instead of 4 feet of
rubber to dean — cleaner milk. It's faster
— Surge is the fastest milker ever pro-
duced. AND — all metal parts touching
milk are Stainless Steel! NOW —

'Self-Washing"

So long as ads continue to appear stating
that certain milking machines are "self-
washing," we shall continue to say that
the Surge is not that kind of a machine.
Milk is a very wonderful but very easily
spoiled food — a dirty machine means
dirty milk. We urge you to
wash and properly sterilize
your Surge Milker after
each milking. There is not
much of the Surge to keep
clean and proper attention
requires less time, less wash-
ing powder and less steriliz-
ing.

"Dirt has no place in milk
under any condition. Some
dirt is sterile and carries no
bacteria whatever. That fact
does not lessen the impot'
tance of keeping it out of
milk."

"No amount of straining or
cooling can restore a dirty
milk or a milk with a high
bacteria count to its original
high grade condition."

HISTORY OF THE VILLAGE OF TEUTOPOUS

The village of Teutopolis is situated in the
township of the same name, in the north-
eastern part of Effingham County. Its main
thoroughfare is the Cumberland, or Old Na-
tional Road, traversing the state of Illinois
between Terre Haute, Indiana, to St. Louis,
Missouri. The St. Louis division of the Penn-
sylvania Railroad also passes through the
town.

The German Land Company

The village of Teutopolis was founded by
Cathohc Germans who had immigrated from
the kingdom of Hanover and the grand-duchy
of Oldenburg and had made Cincinnati and
vicinity their stopping-place before proceed-
ing farther. "Some stayed six months, some
a year, some five or six years, in order to
earn sufficient means to pay for eighty or
one hundred acres of government land and
enough besides to start life thereon. The
Cathohc GeiTTians came into the city at the
rate of two hundred or more every day, and
perhaps a tenth as many left the city every
day, going to Ohio, IlUnois, Missouri, Louisi-
ana, and Wisconsin." Among these Ger-

of organizing a company, to purchase govern-
ment land in a state west of Ohio, and found
a colony of Catholic Gennans. Accordingly,
he, with two or three others, about in 1837,
organized the "GeiTnan Land Company". In
a short time, the number of members in-
creased to nine, and finally to 141. Each
member contributed $10 monthly, until a
sum was at hand sufficient to purchase a
tract of land that seemed large enough for
the purpose intended, and besides $10 to de-
fray the expenses of the Company. A com-
mittee of three was chosen to find land suit-
able for the colony. This committee, consist-
ing of Clement Uptmor, John F. Waschefort,
and Gerard H. Bergfeld, set out on April 17,
1837, visited several places in Indiana,
crossed the state in the latitude of Vin-
cennes, explored a large part of Illinois, and
travelled as far west as Chillicothe, Missouri.
Dissatisfied with the practice of slavery ex-
isting there, they returned to Illinois, pass-
ing through it near the latitude of Quincy
and Jacksonville. Alton and Shelby County
and the land near Mattoon were also exam-
ined, and finally proceeded to the land office

Illinois, etc., but, like most of their country-
men, they were ignorant of the virtue of the
black soil and considered the prairie unsuit-
able for cultivation, partly because the prai-
rie in their native land was such, pai'tly be-
cause the prairie in these parts was swampy
and without drainage. For the latter rea-
son, the air of the prairie was certainly un-
wholesome, and for many years the early
settlers were subject to the attacks of ma-
lai-ia fever. The committee was also guided
in its choice of the land by the practical con-
sideration of having sufficient wood for build-
ing purposes and for fuel.

Purchase of the Land
After an absence of fifteen weeks, the
members of the committee returned to Cin-
cinnati and made their report. At the sug-
gestion of Ml". Clement Uptmor, the location
of the land was not made known, lest any
land shark take advantage of this knowledge
and enrich himself at the expense of the
prospective buyers. The committee also of-
fered to lead any members of the Land Com-
pany who might be chosen to Effingham
County, to enable them to inspect the land
for themselves. Messrs. John Gerard Mey-

er, and Henry Roennebaum were chosen for
the purpose. They were also commissioned
to buy the land, if they found it satisfactory,
and for this purpose the sum of $16,000 was
entrusted to them. Since railroad facilities
were entirely lacking at that time, they, to-
gether with Messrs. Clement Uptmor, John
F. Waschefort and Gerard Bergfeld, the first
committee, set out from Cincinnati to Eff-
ingham County on foot, taking with them a
single horse which they took turns in riding,
and to the saddle of which they fastened the
bags containing the money. Two of the par-
ty, well armed, walked at either side of the
horse. They arrived at their destination
without mishap at the end of June, 1838.
Satisfied with the location and nature of the
land, both committees proceded to Vandalia,
and on July 5 and 6, concluded all conditions
necessary for the purchase of the land. The
tract consisted of about 10,000 acres at $1.25
an acre; forty acres, belonging largely to
veterans of the Black Hawk War, were
bought by Mr. Waschefort for $5.00 an acre.
Ml'. Waschefort had been instructed to buy
all the land in his name and to make out the
deeds to the members of the Company.

Platting of the Land

Before retuiiiing- to Cincinnati, Mr. Wm. J.
Hankins, Effingham County Sui-veyor, was
engaged and the purchased land was then
sui-veyed and platted. The plat was record-
ed in the Superior Court, in Cincinnati, Ohio,
on September 21, 1839.

ALLOTMENT OF THE LAND FOR
VILLAGE OF TEUTOPOLIS

In the Fall of 1838, the allotment of the
land took place in Cincinnati, in the old en-
gine-house between Sixth and Seventh
Streets. Shps of paper marked with num-
bers corresponding to those of the plat, des-
ignating 40 acres of farmland, the town lots.

and garden lots, were placed in a hat; and
each member of the Company received the
land and lots marked on the shp which he
drew from the hat. Mi-. John F. Waschefort
then, in behalf of the Company, made out the
necessary deeds. Now the location of the
land was made known. One of the Commit-
tee had been sent to Vandalia to purchase
land for the three members of the original
committee.

The following is the list of the members of
the Company, who shared in the allotment
of the land. The list is taken from a note-
book of Mr. Clement Uptmor, one of the Di-
rectors of the Company at Teutopolis since
January, 1840.

JJ IL,

John Bernard Tebbe, later at Green Creek,
in Effing-ham County, Mr. J. H. Uptmor and
family and others — seven families in all. Mr.
Vormor was the only one who owned a team
and wagon. These arrived in April, 1839.
At that time, it may be well to add here, sev-
eral Americans were living in what is now
the Township of Teutopolis : John Gannoway
(called Gennivers by the pioneer Germans),
living west of Teutopolis ; James Leavitt, Kit
and Nicholas (Nick) Radley, on the present
Lueken or Ordner's place; Mr. Benjamin
Stallings, since 1825; and Mr. (Aaron) Wil-
liams, a passionate hunter.

The next to come from Cincinnati in 1839,
perhaps in April, were: Joseph Boeckmann,
G. H. Niemann, H. Bruemmer, and Joseph
Ostendorf. Mr. Clement Uptmor, the found-
er of the Land Company, who in September,
1839, married Miss Maiy E. Niehaus at Cin-
cinnati ; Mr. Clement Vahling and wife ; and
Herman H. Uptmor reached the present site
of Teutopolis on December 21 of the same
year. To find shelter against the severe
cold, they occupied a pen which probably be-
longed to Mr. Radley, and from which they
had driven the animals kept in it. This pen

stood about half a mile northeast of the pres-
ent church. Next day, they began the build-
ing of a log house for Mr. Clement VahUng,
inVhich the three families lived until each
had a house of its own. Fi-ank Maurice Ma-
squelet, B. H. Vogt, Joseph Woermann, John
Steinkes, and Jacob Doedtmann came at the
end of 1839 or at the beginning of 1840.

In January, 1840, the Directors of the
Land Company at Cincinnati, Ohio, were the
following gentlemen: John H. Buddeke, G.
H. Bergfeld, John Mathias Gohs, John Roen-
nebaum, John Albei't Kuemmer, Arnold
Kreke, Ben H. Brockmann, and J. H. Plass-
pohl. These empowered Clement Uptmor,
Joseph Boeckmann, and Hemian Bergfeld,
who, on January 19, 1840, had been chosen
Directors of the Company for Teutopolis, to
admit new members into the Company. The
following were admitted at Teutopolis under
the usual conditions, and also contributed
$10 toward the building of a church: An-
thony Pundsack, Clement Pundsack, Joseph
Pundsack, J. B. Tebbe, Jacob Doethmann,
Joseph Frederick Osterhaus, Clement Nie-
haus, Joseph B. Brummer, Bernard Suer, An-

thony Dodenkamp, and Henry Kremer. Oth-
er old settlers were: Joseph, Bernard, Henry,
and George Koester, Ferd. Braun, Joseph
Feldhake, Mathias Moenning, Bernard De-
ters, Fred Grimming, Arnold Kreke, Henry
Herboth, B. Mindrup, J. F. Renter, etc.

Mr. John F. Waschefort, one of the mem-
bers of the Committee which selected and
bought the land, settled at Teutopolis in
March, 1840. B. H. Suer, (Bernard) Ahrens,
Henry Gerdes, and (John G.) Korfhagen
came in 1841; B. H. Mindrup, (Herman)
Renter and J. Herboth in 1842. Many oth-
ers arrived during the next yeai'S. Some
made their way from Cincinnati overland,
partly by stage, partly on foot ; others made
use of the steamboats as far as Evansville,
Ind. ; others, again, passed down the Ohio
and up the Mississippi to St. Louis, and
thence followed the National Road to their
destination. Some, coming directly from
Germany, landed at New Orleans, and from
that city travelled by boat to Cincinnati or
to St. Louis and thence overland to Teu-
topolis."

To encourage efficiency and promote high
ethical standards in business and profes-
sions ; provided that no club shall hold out as
one of its objects financial benefits to its
members.

LIONS CODE OF ETHICS

To show my faith in the worthiness of my
vocation by industrious application to the
end that I may merit a reputation for quali-
ty of service.

To seek success and to demand all fair re-
muneration or profit as my just due, but to
accept no profit or success at the price of my
own self respect lost because of unfair ad-
vantage taken or because of questionable acts
on my part.

To remember that in building up my busi-
ness it is not necessary to tear down anoth-
er's; to be loyal to my clients or customers
and true to myself.

Whenever a doubt ai'ises as to the I'ight or
ethics of my position or action towards my
fellow men, to resolve such doubt against
myself.

To hold friendship as an end and not a
means. To hold that true friendship exists
not on account of the service performed by
one to another, but that true friendship de-
mands nothing but accepts service in the spir-
it in which it is given.

Always to bear in mind my obligations as
a citizen to my nation, my state and my com-
munity, and to give to them my unswerving
loyalty in word, act and deed. To give them
freely of my time, labor and means.

To aid my fellow men by giving my sympa-
thy to those in distress, my aid to the weak,
and my substance to the needy.

To be careful with my criticisms and liber-
al with my praise; to build up and not de-
stroy.

EPISODE 2.
Arrest of the Arch Bishop

A httle more than a century ago a troop
of soldiers marched through the streets of
Cologne and came to a halt at the residence
of the Arch Bishop.

(Pause).

They surrounded him and placed him un-
der arrest.
(Pause).

"They took him to prison in the fortress
of Mindem. Then began the rule of a Prus-
sian. The church bells were to be rung ac-
cording to the government orders. Candles
were to be lighted according to the state's
prescription. All bishops were to be elected
when and where the prince saw fit. The
Church lands, in most cases, went to some
public domains. The cry was, "All for Cae-
sar." So seeking relief from famine and ill-
ness, and the rising femient of revolution
that plagued them, they looked beyond the
seas to a country where man could worship
God in peace. But they not only looked, but
they went.

(Pause).

Packing their most cherished possessions,
their precious valuables, they departed to a
land where freedom of worship would be
theirs."

EPISODE 3.
Indian Scene.

(Scout enters and signals tribe to enter).

"The first inhabitants of this country were
the red Indians, the actual origin of whom
is a matter of considerable dispute. They
were an ignorant and superstitious lot, hav-
ing many strange customs and behefs. Their
wanderings from place to place made their

numbers seem far more numerous than actu-
ally the case. They were a serious bamer to
the development of the land when the first
white men arrived. We see here a band of
Kickapoo Indians who belong- to the powerful
Algonquin tribe, who had earlier split into
two tribes. In about 1750 they drifted into
Illinois and united. The squaws go about
setting up the camp as the Chief and braves
prepare for one of their rituals."
(Pause while fire is lighted).

"The fire having been kindled, the Medi-
cine Man presents the peace pipe to the Chief
who in turn offers it to the cardinal spirits,
as all chant the ritual. 'To the North, our
father ... to the South, our mother ... to
the East vdnd ... to the West wind . . .peace."

(Continue as pipe is passed).

"There is a beautiful legend of the begin-
ning among the Indians."

"In the Heavens above the Heavens lived
the timeless beings. Here the gods and he-
roes lived and loved and danced through time
before all time. Among these were Auoda,
the beautiful, and Manitou, the hunter. And
there was no sun, nor moon, but light was

given by the yellow flowers on the tree of
light. But Auoda, the beautiful, ate one of
the flowei's, and Manitou hurled her down
from the Heavens above the Heavens. Auo-
do fell for a thousand years and where she
fell there appeared an island which became
America. There her son Hiawatha was bom
and it was dark.

In a cave, Hiawatha found a golden ball
and in play he hurled it from the mouth of
the cave with all his might. It sailed across
the sky and sank into the ocean. But Azou-
ci, the witch, cast a spell upon it so that it
returned to Hiawatha to be hurled again each
morning. Thus the sun was bora . . . and
Manitou, taking pity added the moon while
the sun was under the sea. And he created
the trees, and flowers, and animals. Corn
and tobacco for the calumet. And America
was beautiful.

(Pause until pipe is returned to Chief).

"This serious business being finished, the
chiefs and braves begin a dance, for dancing
was one of the joys of their lives. The dance
starts slowly, but gains in its tempo until it
becomes wild and uncontrolled."

(Pause until dance ends).

"The braves break into small groups, some
shoot with bows and arrows, others wrest-
ling in friendly contest. Still others begin a
game for stakes, for the IiTdians were in-
veterate gamblers."

(Pause).

"An argument develops among the gam-
blers who start to quarrel. . . The dispute is
taken to the chief who orders a race to be
run, and the winner of which is to receive
the disputed stake."

(Pause).

"A squaw approaches the chief to tell him
that her child is sick. . . The Chief orders the
child to be brought to the camp fire so that
the Medicine Man may minister to him."

(Pause).

"The Medicine Man sprinkles the child
with herbs and wild gestures. The child
probably would have recovered anyway, he
had eaten too many green berries, but the
simple faith of the Indians made it a profit-
able business to be a Medicine Man, for the
squaw pays him his fee in corn."

(Pause).

"A scout warns the camp that a large body
of white men are approaching, and the
braves prepare to defend the camp.

(Pause as Pioneer Scouts arrive).

'Halt,' says the Chief.

'We come in peace,' say the scouts.

'Then come and sit by our fire in peace,
and we will talk. What is it that our white
brothers want?' says the Chief.

'We buy land, oh Chief, and make our
homes among these green fields."

The pipe of peace is passed and finally a
bargain is struck, and one of the white men
returns to the homesteaders while the other
remains with the Indian, who prepare to
share their land with the white men."

of 1737, which later became the first ten
amendments to the Constitution of the Unit-
ed States of America, that it was generally
settled. Here we see an early group of those
hardy pioneers who came literally, to carve
themselves a home. They are received by
the Indians in a friendly manner and prepare
to make this new land their home.
(Pause while Pioneer family come in).

"The Pioneers begin the task of making
their homes. . . Household articles are set
out, women do their homely tasks of wash-
ing clothes, while others prepare the evening
meal. Later deciding that this location is
satisfactory, they decide to send a committee
of five men back to Cincinnati, to a Land
Grant meeting to buy claim of the territory.
At this Land Grant meeting the committee-
men namely were : John Gerald Meyer, John
H. Roennebaum, Clement Uptmor, John F.
Waschefort, and Gerald Bergfeld. Placing
the money, for the land of their future
homes, in the saddle bags, the five men start
back to Cincinnati. . . The women pack their
belongings in l)ags, place them in the wag-
ons, and being good Pioneers, they see that
there is not a spark left in the camp fire."

(Exit wagons).

EPISODE 5.
Land Grant Scene.

"Upon their arrival at Cincinnati they dis-
cuss with the Board of the Land Company,
a deed for 10,000 acres of land. They en-
gaged William J. Hankins, surveyor, to sur-
vey the plot of land designating it into 40
acre fanns, town lots, and garden lots.

(Pause).

They place in a hat, slips of paper with
numbers con-esponding to the land for farm-
ing and to the lots. Each man draws.

On the lot he receives, he wall erect his
new home.

EPISODE 6.

"Early in 1839 the main way of travel was
overland from Cincinnati, partly by stage,
partly by foot, and then by steamboat as far
as Evansville, Indiana. Others passed down
the Ohio, up the Mississippi to St. Louis, and
then followed the National Road. Some fam-
ihes, coming- directly from GeiTnany, landed
at New Orleans, and from there traveled to
Cincinnati or St. Louis. From there they
came overland by stage to Teutopolis. The
stage running between St. Louis and Indian-
apolis carried both mail and passengers. Teu-
topolis, being the main stop to change horses
and to give the passengers plenty of time
for refreshments. The villagers made quite
an event of the honor of having the stage
coach stop in their village. At the sound of
the stage coach horn, the villagers and farm-
ers would gather around to welcome them to
town. The women were quite interested in
seeing the lady passengers as that was prac-
tically the only way they had to keep up with
the styles of the East and West.

(Pause).

"After exchange of greetings with the
drivers and passengers they would return to
their duties at home and wait for the arrival
of the next stage coach.

EPISODE 7.

Marriage Scene.

Man-iages in the early days of Effingham
County were of interest to the entire com-
munity and one of the few really social
events. Romance quite naturally played a
large part in the life of the early settlers,
though sometimes, they had to wait quite a
while after deciding to get married, for Teu-
topolis was without a resident priest for
many months.

Frequently the women wore a black dress
and bonnet. Dark clothes were very prom-
inent and the weddings were very simple,
but, as more people came to make their
homes here, old countiy customs were intro-
duced.

One was that of the ridei-, (Hochtieds Bit-
ter) when the day of the wedding had been
set. Guests were invited usually on a Tues-
day before the ceremony. The invitations
were extended by the best man who, mount-
ed on a ribbon-bedecked horse, himself wear-
ing- a ribbon in his hat, rode throug-h the
village and over the country side to the
homes of those to be invited. Arriving at
the designated home, he would recite verses
and ask for a ribbon for his hat or staff and
if he was given two, he would tie the second
on the bridle of his horse.

(Pause).

Then he went his way to another home."

Scene 2,

"Another custom was that of the girl
friends of the bride, carrying a long gar-
land or wreath of flowers to the home of the
bride the day of the wedding. These gar-
lands or wreaths were made of flowers, corn
husks, evergreens or paper flowers. Enter-
ing her home, and placing the garland or
wreath before her on the floor, one of the
girls would extend wishes of happiness, long
life, and health to the couple about to be
married."

(Pause).

"This was then given to the bride-to-be
who invited her guests to stay and dance.
By the time this was over the young men of
the village and the groom airived."

and beer, they danced the Old Virginia Reel."

when Chiist was born. They were led by a
wondrous star called the Star of Bethlehem.
They first came to Jerusalem and sought
the new-boi-n King at Herod's palace. King
Herod, however, after consulting the Jewish
priests, where the promised Messiah was to
be bom, directed the Wise Men to Bethle-
hem. These following the guidance of tlie
star found the Divine Infant with Mary, His
mother and St. Joseph. And falling on their
knees they adored the Christ Child and open-
ing their treasures they offered Him gifts —
gold, fi-ancincense and myrrh. To commemo-
rate this event it has been customary here
at Teutopolis since the eighties for four men
to serenade the various homes and surround-
ing places at Epiphany time dressed up as
the three Wise Men with the fourth man
playing the accordian and to nan-ate in mu-
sic and song the adoration of the Christ
Child.
(Pause).

Upon receiving a little treat the serenaders
extend their best wishes to their host and
the black King sweeps all misfortunes out of
the doors.

EPISODE 9.

Cornerstone.

"Coi-nerstone of the first church was laid
July 20, 1851. When it became apparent
that the Uttle log church that had served the
parish for a number of years would have to
be replaced with a larger edifice, much dis-
harmony arose over the location, though it
was finally announced that the spot that was
chosen by the Reverend Oliver Van de Velde,
second Bishop of Chicago, would be the one
used. The Bishop and his companions were
met at Freemanton and they went to the
church and laid the cornerstone. The Na-
tional Road was festooned with three arches
of flowers. On the following day people
from the suiTounding country side arrived at
9:00 for a pi'ocession headed by the children
of the parish and the other members of St.
Peter's parish, all wearing badges. Then

women. Under a canopy the Arch Bishop

Afterward High Mass was sung in the old
church, and dinner was served near the
foundation of the new church. Vespers were
sung following the Benediction of the Bless-
ed Sacrament by the Bishop. That night
citizens had a torchlight parade going to the
priest's residence to thank the Bishop and
his attendants.

EPISODE 10.

Arrival of the Franciscans.

In the year 1857 the Rt. Reverend Henry
Damian Juncker, first Bishop of Alton made
his visit to Rome. On his return he passed
through Germany where he asked the Very
Rev. Provincial, Gregory Janknecht to send
some Franciscans to labor in his diocese. Of
the many Fathers and Brothers who volun-
teered to go to America the following were

chosen: Fr. Damian Henneweg, Fr. Capis-
tran Zwinge, Fr. Servatius Altmicks, Bro.
Irenaeus Drewes, Bro. Paschal Kutche, Bro.
Marian Beile, Bro. Julius Schmaenck and the
two Tertiaries Edmund Wilde and Hennann
Uphoff. Making the journey in the religious
habit of St. Francis they left the convent of
Warendorf on Aug. 24, 1858, and after a long
and tiresome journey they landed in New
York on Sept. 14th. On the following day
they set out for Alton which they reached on
Sept. 21st. The Rt. Rev. Bishop at once as-
signed Teutopolis to them as their first
American Mission. Accompanied by the Bish-
op's secretary, Fr. Menke, they arrived at
Teutopolis late at night on Sept. 23rd. Fr.
Bartels, who was then pastor at Teutopolis
received them kindly and showed them great
hospitality. On the vigil of St. Fi'ancis, Sun-
day, Oct. 3rd, Fr. Bartels turned the parish
over to the Franciscans. The house consist-
ing of two rooms and an adjoining kitchen
served as quarters for the nine Friars until
a new monastery could be built. Straw-sacks
were spread out for the night's rest and were
removed again in the morning to make room
for the day. Every moniing at a quarter to

road to the church was poor and, in rainy
weather, almost impassible. The church it-
self was still unfinished and was being plas-
tered, the altar was a poor, temporary make-
shift and the melodeon stood in the sanctu-
ary. In winter it was cold because they did
not have any stoves at that time. Eight days
before Christmas the Friars moved into the
little frame monastery which was erected
near the church.

In December the Fathers held a parish mis-
sion at Teutopolis and in the following spring
they introduced the Forty Hours' Devotion
and erected the Stations of the Cross. As
soon as circumstances permitted they intro-
duced the various other popular devotions and
finally in 1864, just 75 years ago, they estab-
lished the Third Order of St. Fi'ancis in the
parish. The people of Teutopolis generously
responded to the efforts of the First Francis-
cans and thus their arrival was accompanied
by the most gratifying results and signal
blessings.

The activities of the Pioneer Franciscans
were, however, not limited to St. Francis
Parish at Teutopolis. They also began to
conduct missions in the suiTounding parishes
with great success. Moreover, adjacent par-
ishes and, later on, more distant parishes
were entrusted to their charge until in the
course of time their field of action extended
from Cleveland, Ohio, in the East to the Pa-
cific coast in the West and from the Domin-
ion of Canada on the North to the boundaries
of Mexico on the South. They did not only
administer to the needs of the faithful but al-
so brought tidings of salvation to the native
Indians and to the inhabitants of far-off
China.

Finally the Fathers at once established
their Novitiate in the monastery which has
charge of St. Francis Church and three years
later in 1861 laid foundation to St. Joseph's
College and Seminaiy which has maintained
a high reputation as a seat of learning giving
bishops and priests to the Church and suc-
cessful laymen in the various walks of life.

EPISODE 11.
First Railroad in Teutopolis.

"Gimminy creepers! Here she comes!
Look at 'er ! Look at 'er come ! They'll nev-
er be able to stop 'er ! I tell ye, they'll never
stop 'er!"

That excited old farmer doing the shouting
was one of the great crowd that gathered in
TeutoiX)lis on that hot June day in 1879,
when the first railroad came up from Van-
dalia to Teutopolis. People from all the sur-
rounding territories had to be present for the
great event. Some had driven all the night
before to get to Teutopolis in time, and oth-
ers, already on the ground, had refused to
go to bed for fear the train might come in
and they would miss seeing it.

There was almost hysterical excitement
and men shouted themselves hoarse as the
astounding iron horse puffed its way through
the heart of the town.

(Pause).

•'They did stop 'er, but gosh! they'll never
start 'er agin'," was the shout of the doubt-
ing old farmer as the engine came to a halt
at the little old depot. However, start ag'in
it did, to the great joy of the people who
thronged the street about the track.

while would take your picture while you
stood behind a card-board screen with a
horse painted on it? Then Aunt Susie would
put the picture in the family album.

Hand in hand down Lovers' Lane, oblivious
to everything but themselves, strolled a love-
sick maid and her swain.

Tom and Dick were a couple of handsome
Harrys — the epitome of masculine fashion. . .
then, too, there was "that woman" about
whom everyone talked and probably secretly
envied. 23 skidoo! Oh, you kid!
Daisy, Daisy, give me your promise do,
I'm half crazy all thro want of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage.
But you'll look sweet, upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two.

Now then ma'm, keep your eye on those
youngsters ! Don't let them drink too much
pink lemonade or eat too much popconi.

Mother, Mother, may I go out to swim?

Yes, my darling daughter, hang your
clothes on a hickory limb, but don't go near
the water.

The fledgeling is growing! Say, why don't
you get a horse?

I tell you, neighbor, that contraption is
just a passing fancy. Nosiree!! Congress
will make a law about those things! The
idea! Scaring a person half to death and
whizzing over the roads at fifteen miles an
hour! It's a scandal!

But what has happened? Has there been
an accident? She must have used a hickory
tree too near to the water! Ha, our noble
life guards have the situation well in hand!
Some one hurry with a barrel to roll her on !

Catch her Oscar! You know Nellie can't
stand even the sight of a mouse in a trap !

(Airplane noise).

What's that strange sound? Listen!
Look — Look ! There — up in the sky ! It is !
It is! — The fledgeling has grown wings!
See! There it goes! It's that new fangled
hick-ma-gig those boys from Dayton built!
And gosh! the thing really stays up in the
air.

Did you ever think one of those egg crates
and baling wire gadgets could grow into a
sleek powerful clipper of the sky or that
within the boundary of our county we would
one day have the very heart of aviation?

EPISODE 13.

World War — American Legion.

Teutopohs, loyal and patriotic, did her
share in the World War, by sending her
young men to fight for their country, and
by contributing to Liberty Loans and Drives.
It was not long after our entrance into the
conflict that 18 boys from here had gone into
service, and after it was over, there were 7D.

They had a Loyalty Meeting in the Society
Hall in which the people and their Pastor
vied in making a magnificent success. So
large was the assembly that they had to re-
main outside of the Hall. The Rev. Pastor
Theodosius blessed the service flag, consist-
ing of 18 stars — one being a gold star. The
College Orchestra and St. Francis Church
Choir provided the musical part of the pro-
gram and at the close, two sailor boys, Henry
Wessel and Al Wente, (the latter of Lilly-
ville) hoisted Old Gloiy to the top of the flag
staff in front of the Hall. Loyal to the end
these buddies pay their final tribute to the
man who served his country to make it a bet-
ter place to live in.

(Pause until after taps)

MARCH OF PROGRESS AND GRAND
FINALE.

For the future we all cast our hopes! That
youth goes on and never backward, let us
always pray! Here we present a symbolic
iwrtrayal of youth's spirit always pressing
forward — always beautiful !

(Pause for drill and exit).

Now that the Book of Records is closed
And in the deeds of the old repose
Let us then turn to our enlightened age
And see the wonders of today's beauties
displayed !

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

O say ! can you see

By the dawn's early light

What so proudly we hail'd

At the twilight's last gleaming.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars

Through the perilous fight

O'er the ramparts we watch'd

Were so gallantly streaming.

And the rockets' red glare

The bombs bursting in air

Gave proof through the night

That our flag was still there.

O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet

O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
