Story about Louis Adam Sauer: Via handwritten notes by daughter Ella Catherine Sauer Pendery in the

family bible. I.E. Louis was put into St. Aloysius Orphanage, Cincinnati, Ohio in 1866 by ??? When his parents died in Marietta, Ohio. He was a few months shy of four years old. and his sister

was older than he was. When he was 8 years old, he was adopted by a farmer in Alexandria, Ky. It seems that the farmer wanted Louis as a "farm hand" and mistreated him. Louis ran away when he

was 12 years old and hid in the hay field of a neighboring farmer )my grandfather) John Adam Stegman. One of

my uncles (Nick) was sent to the pasture to bring the cows into the barn for the night. He found Louis hiding and crying and took him into the house where Louis told the Stegman family that he was

mistreated and that he would run away again if he was sent back. It was decided that the Stegman family would give him a home. He grew up with Nick and his other siblings. When he was 18 years

old, Louis told the Stegmans, he wanted to go to Pittsburgh and find his sister and brother. He did find her and she had married a Mr. Barth. He worked a few years in Pittsburgh and got homesick

for Kentucky and the Stegman family. He returned and in a year he married Mary Catherine Stegman in August 1884. They lived in Alexandria and Newport Kentucky and then bought a home in Bellevue

and raised their family. Louis died in the family home in April 1936 .

From Joan Klare:

Mother told me that Grampa (Louis Sauer) owned houses (which he rented for

income) and the houses were next door to Uncle Joe in Dayton. as well as

brother

John. It was my understanding that they lost their homes due to the

depression and couldn't make house payments. That could account for the

changes in address and later renting in Cold Spring, as that is where John

eventually raised all his family. And Uncle Joe stayed in Dayton and that is

where the two daughters left for the convent in Melbourne. Also their other

children were married in St. Bernard Church in Dayton, which confirms that they stayed in Dayton, until their marriages

took them elsewhere, usually Newport, Cold Spring and Wilder, Ky. My

grandfather Louis Sauer also lost his property in Dayton due to the

depression and his tenants could not pay the rent, thus he could not pay the

mortgage and lost them. He was an electrician by trade. He managed to keep

his house on Foote Avenue in Bellevue, Ky.
