10963	Selected sections from the Deposition: “Having been summoned, Sören Peter Clausen, citizen and skipper, captain of the Hamburg brig Johanna, appeared before the undersigned. “Upon being questioned, he deposed: “On 22 April 1853 he sailed from Altona in his brig, heading to Lagueira [La Guaira, Venezuela] and Porto Cabello [Puerto Cabello, Venezuela]. Among his passengers was Peter Schrag, a farmer from the Bavarian Palatinate. He let him off at Lagueira and then sailed on to Porto Cabello, and then returned to Lagueira. There he met Schrag who informed him that he had become ill, could earn nothing, and therefore must return to Europe. The deponent then took him on board for his return voyage to Altona. On the return trip Peter Schrag became ill on 27 June, probably in consequence of the yellow fever that he had survived in Lagueira, and died on 9 July 1853. On the following day the body of Peter Schrag was committed to the waves. “Thereupon the deponent produced the log book of the Hamburg brig Johanna for its voyages in the year 1853 and on page 55 there was the following entry: “Sunday, 7 in the morning, the sick man named Peter Schrag died and had a good and calm death. Peace be with him. As far as we (the captain and first mate) could see, his illness was aggravated by misplaced hope. “The people were observing Sunday. At 7 in the evening the body was sewn into sailcloth. A psalm was read and the body was put overboard. Then another psalm was read. Peace be with him.” ——————— From the deposition: The clothes of the Schrag, which consisted of rags, had been kept by the deponent for about a year and then given away. The 40 dollars return passage remained unpaid except for7 dollars which Schrag still had. The diary of the Hamburg brig “Johanna” about her voyages in the year 1853 was then translated into Danish and the following entry was found on page 55: “Sunday at 7 o’clock in the morning the sick man named Peter Schrag died and had a good and quiet death.Peac be withhim. As the helmsman could see his illness was excited over failed hopes. On the following page 56 of the diary was the following entry in Danish. In German: The people held Sunday: At 7 o’clock in the afternoon the body was sewn in canvas. A chant was read and the body was placed overboard; then another chant was read, Peace be upon Him. The above excepts agree with the diary logbook. Signature: S. P. Clausen Confirmed the city of Hamburg with seal Addendum from municipality of Contwig about the death of Peter Schrag: In the year 1855 on 19 January at eight o’clock in the morning a death certificate of Peter Schrag of Contwig together with a German translation of the same was sent to us by Georg Jakob Guth, mayor of Contwig, civil registrar of the municipality of Contwig, canton Zweibrucken, district court Zweibrucken in the Palatinate of the Kingdom of Bavaria.

Filed 13 Aug 18__, Recorded 19 Jan 1851 Place name: https://shsmo.org/manuscripts/ramsay/ramsay_franklin.html Meramec Cavern Description: A cave in the southern part of Meramec Township, near Meramec River. Earlier known as Saltpeter Cave. Gunpowder was made here during the Civil War from saltpetre found in this cave. In 1933 Mr. Dill adopted the name Meramec Cavern because the cave was near the Meramec River. (HIST. FRANKLIN, 212-13; Miss Johnson; Charles Ripley; Benton Dill; Stephen Sullivan) Source: Harrison, Eugenia L. "Place Names Of Four River Counties In Eastern Missouri." M.A. thesis., University of Missouri-Columbia, 1943. Place name: Meramec Hills Description: A resort and former post office in the northwest part of Calvey Township. It was established as a post office during 1887 under the name Mackie and discontinued in 1896. It was probably named for James Mackie, a Scotchman, who was its only postmaster. The place was also called Frisco Heights, as it was located on the Frisco Railroad between Robertsville and Moselle, south of the Meramec River. Morley was the earliest name of the switch on the Frisco Railroad at this place. Morley was named for a man in St. Louis who tried to build a town here. The name Shewell replaced Frisco Heights when Mrs. C.F. Shewell bought the land on the hill after the post office had been discontinued. The new name was given in her honor. The name Meramec Hills replaced the name Shewell when Charles Halsworth bought the land from Mrs. Shewell and made the resort. Cf. above. It no longer exists. However, in 1925, Kiel says the switch was still called Shewell. (Postal Guide; HIST. FRANKLIN, 342; Kiel's BIOG. DIR., 194, 205 & map; Miss Johnson: Miss Martha May Wood; G.B. Zumwaldt) Source: Harrison, Eugenia L. "Place Names Of Four River Counties In Eastern Missouri." M.A. thesis., University of Missouri-Columbia, 1943. Place name: Meramec Mine Description: A mine north of Silver Lead Mine in Prairie Township. The earliest name was Buskett Mine, for John Buskett, who operated it. The later name Meramec Mine, or the Meramec Mines, was given for its location on the Meramec River. According to the Washington Library Records, a disastrous fire occurred at the mines on July 1, 1901, causing a loss of about $50,000. (Washington Library Records; Miss Johnson: E.H. Hoff) Source: Harrison, Eugenia L. "Place Names Of Four River Counties In Eastern Missouri." M.A. thesis., University of Missouri-Columbia, 1943. Place name: Meramec Mines Description: See Meramec Mine. Source: Harrison, Eugenia L. "Place Names Of Four River Counties In Eastern Missouri." M.A. thesis., University of Missouri-Columbia, 1943. Place name: Meramec River Description: This "large, crooked, and beautiful stream," as it has been called, is the most important river in Franklin County, and is also one of the oldest names in the region. It rises in the northeast part of Crawford County, enters Franklin near the center of the southern border of Meramec Township, and flows in a generally northeast direction across the county, continuing as the boundary line between St. Louis and Jefferson Counties till it empties into the Mississippi River. The name is usually interpreted as an Indian word meaning "catfish," and this etymology is supported by Hodge and Gannett. Mr. Bert Lowenstein, however, writing in the St. Louis POST-DISPATCH for September 10, 1938, disagrees, and gives by far the best and most detailed history of the name Meramec. He writes that Joliet and Marquette were probably the first Europeans to pass the mouth of the Meramec; for although they make no mention of the river in their account of the voyage down the Mississippi River to the mouth of the Arkansas River, Father Marquette notes the location of the "Maroa" tribe in the country of the Illinois. The Recollect missionary, Father Membre, who accompanied the La Salle and De Tonty expedition, writes of "the village of the Tamaroas on the east bank, about six leagues below the River of the Osages." La Salle, De Tonty, Fathers Joutel, Marest, Pinet, and other missionaries mention the "Tamaroas" or "Maroas" and their villages, which they locate "ten leagues below the River of Illinois," or six miles below the mouth of the Pekitanoui," the river of the "Missouries." The first historical notice of the river is found in the account of a voyage by Father James Gravier in the year 1700. He wrote: "We discovered the river Mearamigoua where a rich lead mine is situated." Penicaut, a member of Le Seur's mineralogical expedition mentions it in 1700, "one finds a small stream called the Meramecsipy." In 1702 De Iberville applied to the French Government for the exclusive privilege to work the lead mines on the Riviere Maramecquisipi. The Sieur La Renaudiere explored the region in 1723 and wrote an "Account of the mines of M. de la Motte and M. de Maramet." In May, 1723, Dixon D' Artaguiette wrote, "About one o'clock M. Renault, director of the mines, arrived here from the Meramec Mines." On June 14, 1723, Pierre Duque de Boisbriant and Marc Antoine de La Laire des Ursin, Intendant, granted to Renault a league and a half of ground upon the "Little Merameig" and in the "river Mearmeig." The "Maroa," the Indian tribe whose villages were nearest to the river's mouth, seems to be the origin of the word according to Mr. Lowenstein. The second syllable "mec," "mac," "meg," or "meq" is a term common among the Algonquin tribes. It apparently signifies a branch river or small stream as opposed to "missi," "mitche" meaning great. The name also appears as Merramec River. The many spellings would naturally result from the difficulty of settlers with the original name. (Wetmore; Gannett, 205; Houck, HIST. MISSOURI I, 281; COM. ATLAS, 229; John E.

"Place Names Of Four River Counties In Eastern Missouri." M.A. thesis., University of Missouri-Columbia, 1943. Place name: Meramec State Park Description: A famous area of great natural beauty in the southern part of Meramec Township. In 1928 the state bought this 7,124-acre tract for the fish and game department, made it into a state park and named it for the Meramec River, which flows through the park. There are more than twenty caverns in this park. A CCC camp is now located here. (Schultz, 14; Miss Johnson: Benton Dill; Stephen Sullivan) Source: Harrison, Eugenia L.
