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

Frederick W. Panhorst, proprietor of the Detmold Saw and Flouring-mill
and Wood Carding Factory, was born in Franklin County, Mo., in 1851,
and is the son of Henry and Hannah (Drewel) Panhorst, natives of Pruss-
ia.  Henry Panhorst was born August 22, 1824 and came with his mother
to the United States in 1841, his father having died about 1830.  They
located in Franklin County, where Henry was married in 1849, and became
the father of eleven children, seven now living, and all in the vicin-
ity of their birth.  Mr. Panhorst has since resided at Detmold and vic-
inity as a farmer, with the exception of about six years from 1872, 
when he had an interest in and had charge of the mill and factory, as
above stated; since then he has lived one mile east of Detmold.  Our
subject received a fair education, and remained under the parental roof
until he had attained his majority.  Soon after he purchased an inter-
est in the Detmold Saw and Flouring-mill and Wood Carding Factory, 
which institution he has assumed charge of with considerable success,
being a practical machinist.  He has led an honest, uneventful, indus-
trious life, and has always lived in the neighborhood of his birth.  He
was married in 1874 to Miss Caroline Rohlfing, who bore him six child-
ren: Daniel, Gustave, Emma, Olinda, Oscar and Frederick W. Mr. Panhorst
is a Republican, politically, and cast his first presidential vote for
Gen. Grant in 1872.
