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

Gustave A. Freund was born in St. Louis, Mo., February 5, 1843, and is
the son of Charles M. and Christina J. Freund.  The father was a native
of the Kingdom of Saxony, Germany, and came to the United States in 
1834.  Gustave A. was brought up in St. Louis, where he received a fair
education, both in the English and also in the German language. Shortly
after the breaking out of the late war, he enlisted in Company D, Sec-
ond Regiment, United States Reserve Corps, Missouri Volunteer Infantry,
and with his regiment took part in the Siege of Corinth, Miss.  After
serving in the war, Mr. Freund followed mercantile pursuits in St. 
Louis and vicinity for a number of years, and in June, 1873, he was
married to Miss Charlotte Moeller, daughter of Mr. August Moeller, of
this county.  Late in the fall of 1874, Mr. Freund removed to Gasconade
County, where he lived upon a farm until the fall of 1875, when he 
began to teach school.  After teaching successfully for three terms at
the district school in Richland Township, he removed to a district in
the neighborhood of Hermann, teaching again for two successive terms.
In 1880 Mr. Freund accepted a position at the public school of Hermann,
where he is now teaching his eighth year.  His work in school has con-
tinued to prove successful, he has been promoted twice, and now holds
the position next to the principal.  In 1880 he removed with his family
to Hermann, where he has lived ever since and became permanently loca-
ted.  In conclusion we can say, that, for the past thirteen years Mr.
Freund has identified himself most favorably with the educational 
interests of this county.
