                             Julius Albrecht

      Julius Albrecht, a prominent framer of Kelso Township, Scott
      Co., Mo., was born in Hesse-Cassel, Germany, in 1843. His
      parents, George and Mary (Mogg) Albrecht, were born and reared
      in a village near the birth-place of Julius. The father was
      born in 1803 and the mother in 1807. George Albrecht was a
      baker by trade, which he followed until 1850, when he with his
      family came to the United States. On June 1 they landed in
      Baltimore, from whence they went to Greene County, Ohio, where
      they remained four years engaged in agricultural pursuits,
      after which they went to Iowa. Soon after they came down the
      Mississippi River to Southeast Missouri, and located in Scott
      County. There, George Albrecht purchased a farm lying near the
      river. This was in the spring of 1855, and he remained there
      until his death in 1866. His widow survived until 1877. They
      had five children - four boys and one girl - all dead but the
      subject of this sketch. Louisa was married, and died leaving
      three children, two of whom are living. Soon after the death
      of his parent's Julius began work for himself. During the
      Civil War he served in the State Militia, and after the war
      was over resumed work on the farm. He first married Catherine
      Roth, a native of Germany, who came with her parents to
      America in 1854, when she was three years of age. By this
      union Mr. Albrecht has seven children: Anna, Julia, Eliza,
      John, Mary, Amelia and Lewis. In religious faith the family
      are Lutherans, of which church Mr. Albrecht has been a member
      since a child, has been treasurer and trustee for two years,
      and has also served as elder for two years. He is a self-made
      man, and has a liberal education, being well informed on all
      general topics.
