Question

Hello, my name is Patricia Ann Lottinville Kipps. I’m looking for information about my maternal grandfather who is John William Pabst born 1870 died 1956 I am trying to get information about his parents and further back, if possible, to find out when they immigrated to America, and from what city or town and country. I know that my grandfather was born in Cooper, County, Missouri and his older brother Frank was born in Kansas. He lived most of his adult life as a farmer in Cooper/Pettit Counties, MO, on a farm outside of Clifton City, MO. His parents are listed as unknown in a recent search

Answer 1

Welcome.

I found this on the Find-a-Grave site:

John William Pabst was born 11 Dec 1870 in Clear Creek, MO, son of Johannah Gramlich and Aloysius Joseph Pabst. On 30 May 1893 at St John's Catholic Church in Clear Creek, MO, he married Mary Ann Diel. They had 13 children: Aloysius Henry Pabst; Josephine A Pabst; Frances Catherine Pabst; Herbert Herman Pabst; Eleanor Catherine Pabst; Emil Joseph Pabst; Raymond Victor Pabst; Marie Johanna Pabst; Frederick Joseph Pabst; Martha Lenora Pabst; Leonard Dennis Pabst; Elizabeth Margaret Pabst; and Florence Emma Pabst. He died 24 Jan 1956 in Sedalia, MO from carcinoma, prostate & general arterosclerosis.
