**********************************************************************

F. C. Kuehl, merchant tailor, was born March 8, 1850, in Oldenburg,
Holstein.  After having been educated at the high school at Eutin,
and having learned his trade with his father, he left home when six-
teen years of age, and went to Hamburg, where he was employed as a
clerk in the wholesale grocery business.  He emigrated to the United
States, arriving at New York in 1868.  Soon after he went to Chicago,
Illinois and thence to St. Louis, Missouri.  From here he paid a 
visit to Memphis and New Orleans, and returned, but only to soon go
to Omaha and Cheyenne.  After a short stay at the latter place, he
returned to Omaha, and in 1870, came to St. Joseph, Missouri.  Here
he worked with Collatz & LaCruneril up to February 26, 1871, when he
bought the business, and formed a partnership with Mr. Long, under
the firm name of Kuehl & Long.  On July 1, 1871, Mr. Long retired,
and F. C. Kuehl carried on business alone.  Having a large experience
and good taste in selecting goods and executing his work, he deserves
the patronage which he receives from the public.  He was married on
April 10, 1872, to Miss Bertha Volk.  They have had five children:
Heinrich, born September 14, 1872, died July 29, 1873; Heinrich, born
September 2, 1874; Friedrich, born March 25, 1875, died September 29,
1876; Friedrich, born June 29, 1878; and Caroline, born June 29, 1880.
