THE TOWN OF DARMSTADT
Is situated in the north-west quarter of section 35, T. 2 S., R. 6 W. It was laid off by Isaac Rainey, February 1, 1855, who, singular to relate, gave it the German name of Darmstadt. His ideas of a village were moderate, extending only to laying off thirty-six lots, one of which was already occupied by the blacksmith shop of Peter Rodemeyer, and another by a tavern, erected in 1845 by Henry

Kaylor. At present the town has a population of about 350. Prominent among its industries is a mill, built in 1863, by a com- pany composed of George M Eckert, Hermann H. Voskamp, Leon- ard Kayser, Henry Koch, William Massmann, and Henry Eckert. This company made, May 11, 1864, an addition to the town of Darmstadt, calling it " The Mill Company's addition." The mill is now owned and operated by Martin Eckert. It has four run of stone. Its capacity is 200 barrels of flour per diem ; gives employ- ment to five men ; cost about $30,000. Flour is hauled by wagon to Marissa station, six miles distant, thence shipped chiefly to St. Louis, Mo., and Cairo, Ill. The mill has contributed much to the upbuilding of the town.
Pleasantly located, in the heart of a large agricultural district, Darmstadt, despite its inconvenience for railroad facilities, enjoys a prosperous trade. It is well supplied with schools, having a public and two private ones supported by the churches. There are two churches-the Lutheran, built in 1865, and the Protestant Lutheran, transferred, after its destruction by lightning, from its former site to a desirable location in the village. Built in 1877.
SECRET SOCIETIES.
True Bund No. 15 was organized November 9, 1871, with nine charter members.
A lodge of the A. O. U. W., was organized February 10, 1878, with nineteen charter members. Has at present twenty-three mem- bers. Meets in hall owned by John Lehr.
There is also here a singing society, " The Concordia," with four- teen members, organized October 25th, 1878. Christian Keim, leader.

TOWN OF ST. LIBORY.
October 18, 1866, Jolin Wessels laid out on the N. E. part of the S. E. quarter of the N. W. quarter of section 18, T. 2 S., R. 6 W. the town of Hermanntown. Close by was a Catholic church, erect- ed in 1846, and to which the name of St. Libory was given. In the village was the general store of H. Ruetter, who had established it in 1849. In 1856 the post-office, called " Mud Creek," was moved to this store, and H. Ruetter was appointed post-master-so that, when the town was platted, there were three names struggling for the supremacy. Mills were built; business prospered, and, although people built on all sides of the platted town, no additions were made thereto. In 1874 the name of the post-office was changed from Mud Creek to St. Libory, and by common consent other names have been dropped, so there is presented the anomaly of a village of per- haps 250 inhabitants, on land not regularly platted as a town site, with a name not recognized in the public records, save by common consent. A large mill has stood idle for several years past, while a small custom mill, owned by Gustav Hessler, meets the demands of the community.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
CONRAD D. HAUSMANN
WAS born in Hanover, Germany, December 8th, 1840. His father was for many years a teacher in Catholic schools in his native land. His mother's maiden name was Catharine Sutmueller. His parents emigrated to America when he was a mere child, so young that he recollects nothing of the sca voyage, nor does he distinctly remem- ber his parents, as his mother died shortly after their arrival in St. Louis, and his father, Matthias Hausmann, survived her but a year or two. Thus he was left an orphan and through the kindness of friends, was placed in the Orphan Asylum, a Catholic institution in St. Louis. After remaining there two or three years he ran away. and took up his home with Bennet Somer, who kept a boarding house and store opposite south market .. Remained with Somer about two years, when he was bound over by the clergy to a Mr. Garretson, a saddle tree maker. Mr. Garretson had been a teacher in Germany, hence he found himself in good hands. Here he re- mained until he was twenty two years of age., During this time he acquired a good practical business education, and a knowledge of men which has proved of great service to him. He mastered the . saddlery and harness manufacturing business, and for a time in, its prosecution was associated with P. J. Peters, subsequently with,. Thornton Grimsby. In the latter part of the war he entered into a speculation in Arkansas, purchasing goods in St. Louis in bulk, taking them to the front where he disposed of his wares to sutlers. He next became an agent for the Great Republic Life Insurance company in whose employ he remained but about four months, whereupon he became salesman for Shaefer & Co., corner Main and Chestnut streets, engaged in wholesale saddlery. Whilst in this employ he was singled out, because of his fitness for the work, as assignee of Peter Feltmen & Co., wholesale liquor merchants which business he closed to the complete satisfaction of all concerned, within a year. In 1868 he determined on a change of location, with a view to pursuing his trade of saddlery and harness making, and located in St. Libory, where he has since resided. Being of an active temperament he has combined with his regular trade various pursuits. Handled agricultural implements for four years ; was elected Justice of the Peace in 1873, which office he has held ever since ; was appointed assignee of the St. Libory mill company in 1877; was treasurer for his township for three years. So that he has been more than ordinarily active in a business sense. He was one of the projectors of the St. Libory coal mining company and was for a time its president. No undertaking in his vicinity calcu- lated to promote its welfare has ever been set on foot which has not found in him a friend and abettor. He was united in marriage to Catharine Deirker, October 7th, 1869, by whom he has had four
children, two of whom, Caroline and Ida, are living, and two are dead Politically, Mr. Hausmann is a sterling democrat, and cast his first vote for General Mcclellan, for President. He and his wife are communicants of the Catholic church. As a prompt, energetic business man ; as a friend of progress no man in the vicinity of St. Libory deserves more honorable mention than Conrad D. Hausmann.
GEORGE M. ECKERT.
No citizen of Darmstadt deserves better mention than George M. Eckert. He was born in Dietzenbach, Germany, Oct. 5th, 1827. His parents, John George and Anna M. Eckert, came to America and located in St. Clair county in 1837. His father had been an inn keeper and farmer in the old country, and still pursued the latter calling in this.
George M. Eckert was trained in the common schools, enjoying for a brief ,time the advantages of better schools of the same class at Venedy. He was married to Regina Voskamp, June 7th, 1853, by whom he has six children living, and three dead. The names of the living are Henry G., Charlotte, Hermann, Regina, Martin and Louis. Mary, George and Martin are dead. He commenced milling where he now is in 1864. Had ran a horse-power saw mill from 1854 to 1859, then a steam saw mill until 1864, when the pre- sent grist mill was built. He has served as post-master for seven- teen years. Is a consistent, unswerving, uncompromising republican. Cast his first vote for John C. Fremont, for president, in 1856. His son, Henry G., was secretary of the Darmstadt Garfield club last fall. He (Henry G.) was married to Clara Schoen, Nov. 14, 1879, near Pierce City, Mo. Mr. Eckert is an active member of the Lu- theran church. Every improvement conducive to the upbuilding and development of his vicinity finds in him a friend and advocate. No man stands higher in the estimation of his fellows than he.
J. REITH.
IN the enjoyment of a monopoly in his line, that of general mer- chandise, in the village of Darmstadt, is J. Reith. His business is quite extensive and remunerative. He was born in Nassau, Germany, May 14th, 1835. His parents were J. Reith, Senior, and Catbarine. His father, a tailor in the old country, came to America, landing first in New Orleans, thence to St. Louis, Mo., where he pursued his business in 1854. In 1857 he came to St. Clair county. The subject of this sketch followed the same busi- ness for years, and still takes a turu upon the bench when occasion requires. He volunteered in company B, 43d Illinois regiment, as

HENRY RUTTER, (DECEASED.)
371
HISTORY OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
a private, in the early days of the war in 1861, in the three month's service, re-enlisted in the service at Cairo in the 9th Illinois, then again in company H, 149th Illinois, where he was elected 2d lieu- tenant. In all he served nearly five years with honor to himself. Although in many hard fought battles he never received a wound. He was married to Catharine Massann in 1868, by whom he has one child, a daughter, named Elizabeth. Politically he is an ardent republican. His first ballot was cast for Lincoln ; he has ever remained true to the republican faith. In business he is cor- rect and straightforward. By his course he has endeared to him- self his numerous patrons, and built up a fine custom which is constantly increasing.
DR. F. X. FISCHER,
WAS born in Basle, Switzerland, March 29th, 1839. His parents were Franz Joseph and Elizabeth Fischer. His father practiced law for about forty years in Basle. An earnest, faithful barrister, he won for himself great esteem. Dr. Fischer came to America in 1866, landing in New York city, then went to St. Louis, where he cast about him for a location, and found it at Du Quoin, Ills., where he practiced. about two and a half years. From there he went to Lincoln, Ills, where he remained a year, moving again to St. Libory, where he remained until 1880, when he removed to Darmstadt, where he still resides. A view of his residence appears elsewhere in this volume. The doctor opened a drug store in St. Libory in 1876, which he still owns and manages- He received his medical education in the Universities of Basle and Zurich. Graduated at Zurich in March, 1857. Prac- tised his profession in his native village until he determined on
coming to America. He came here prompted by a desire to en- large his sphere of usefulnesss, and to find a better chance in the prosecution of his profession. In the practice of medicine he belongs to that large class of progressive physicians who believe that too many drugs are administered-that nature instead of being aided-the true province of the physician-is hindered in her work of eliminating disease from human systems. He is independent in his convictions, and equally so in their expression. His ability finds recognition in a wide-spread, arduous and lucrative practice. His skill is unquestioned. He was united in marriage to Helena Wagner, in the Catholic church at St. Libory, by the Rev. Father Frederick Chmelicek, August 13th, 1873. By this union there are three bright boys, Otto, Leo, and Louis. His wife was born in Posen, Prussia, in 1857, yet her nationality is Polish. She came to America in 1871. Politically, the Doctor has identified himself with the democratic party, believing its principles to be right. He was naturalized in Belleville, in 1874, and in 1876 cast his first bal- lot for President. Contrasting the institutions of this country with- those of his native land (Switzerland), he says there is no great su- periority in America's republicanism over that of his native land ; that in the adaptation of practice to principles, Switzerland is in the ascendant. There is quite a similarity in form of government, but greater harmony there than herc. Office he never wanted, but his say in politics he will have. He and his family are members of the Catholic church. Although in the enjoyment of a large practice, the Doctor finds time for literature, for which he has ex- cellent taste, as his selections of authors testify. The classics of . University days are not laid entirely away, but serve to while away a happy hour. A skilled physician, a kind neighbor, a man of generous impulse, he enjoys a wide, and constantly widening circle of friends.
