My Genealogy Hound

Rev. Albert Muecke, pastor in charge of the German Evangelical Protestant St. John’s Church, of Franklin County, Mo., was born in Mocker, Silesia, Germany, December 7, 1862, and educated at the Gymnasium at Leobschuetz. He immigrated to America in 1882, and came directly from New York City to Missouri and entered the Evangelical Seminary in Warren County. He remained at that school one year and then spent another year in a similar institute, situated in St. Louis County, seven miles from the city of St. Louis, on the St. Charles Rock Road. He was ordained a minister in 1884 and for the three months following was Vicar in St. Louis. He then served as mission preacher in Montgomery County until 1886, when he took charge of the German Evangelical Protestant St. John’s Church, where he is now located. An extended notice of this church organization may be found in the church history of the history of Franklin County. He also has charge of the school taught in connection with the church. As a pastor and educator he is meeting with much success, and is building up both the church and school. He was united in marriage April, 1885, to Miss Mathilde Maschmeier, of St. Louis, Mo. The parents of our subject are William and Johanna Muecke, both natives of Germany, who immigrated to America in August, 1887, and make their home with their son at the parsonage.
