John G. Mohrweis, a native of Wurtemberg, was born January 25, 1851, and was 
the son of Peter Mohrweis. His mother's maiden name was Christena Wehrlin, and 
they were also originally from that locality. John G. passed his youth, up to 
sixteen years of age, at the public schools of his birthplace, where he received a 
fair education. Emigrating to the United States in 1867 he located in Greene 
County, Illinois, where he commenced learning the blacksmith trade, working 
there under instructions about two years. In 1869 he came to Henry County, 
Missouri, and for a time lived on a farm with his uncle, John M. Mohrweis, who is 
now one of the substantial farmers of this county, where he settled in 1865. 
After remaining in Henry County about five years, Mr. M. returned to Illinois and 
worked on a farm about two and a half years. In 1877 he went to Oregon and 
located at Salem, where he spent two years in a machine shop. While in the west 
he passed some time traveling through Oregon and California. He retraced his 
steps to Missouri in the winter of 1882.
