(Liasor) Wirth, also natives of that country. Christian was brought by his parents 
to the United States when an infant (in the winter of 1845), and settled in St. 
Clair County, Illinois, where he grew to manhood, his youth being spent on a farm 
and at the public schools, where he received a fair common education. When

under instructions three years. Going to Waterloo, Monroe County, he worked a 
short time there, and also at different towns in the county and state about three 
years; In the spring of 1869 he came to Missouri and located in Clinton, Henry 
County, following his trade one year. He removed to Brownington in 1870 and has 
since carried on a shop at this place. Mr. Wirth has built up a good business and
