Biography

We know now that it was Dorothea's Aunt Dora who in September of 1857, just four months after arriving in the US, married another recent immigrant, Fred Phillips, and they settled in the rich farming country of Nameoki township in the southern part of Madison county. It is thought that after the death of his parents during the winter of 1857-58, 14-year old Christian Ahrens went to live with his older sister Dora and her husband in Nameoki township. In time, Christian went on to buy a farm of his own in nearby Venice township. In 1892, both Christian Ahrens and the Phillips' sold their land to the Niedringhaus brothers of St. Louis (St. Louis Stamping Company) for their new manufacturing facility. This brought a financial windfall to both families.
