From the Carondelet News: Wauge John H 3 a 15-Oct 1904
John H. Wauge, proprietor of a saloon at 6308 South Broadway, was arrested early last Saturday morning on a charge of disturbing the peace and resisting a policeman, the arrest being made by policeman Lee Locke, who preferred the charges. Wauge had music in his saloon at 12:30 Sunday morning, which is contrary to the law regarding music in dram shops. Locke ordered him to discontinue the music, and Wauge refused and told the officer he had nothing to say in the matter. The saloon keeper was placed under arrest.

From the Carondelet News: Wauge Joseph (sic, should be John) 1 c 22-Oct 1904
LEGLESS MAN HURT.
Michael Murphy, aged 32 years, whose legs are cut off above the knee, fell, while asleep, from the porch in the rear of Joseph (sic) Wauge’s saloon, 6308 South Broadway, Saturday, and sustained a scalp wound on the forehead.

Henry senior seems to have died or maybe divorced before his wife Pauline remarried by 1880 and this family is called Hiesenstein on 1880 census, but the children must have reverted to Wauge later. But I can find no death record for him, I did find his wife buried with 2nd husband, both of their names badly butchered in the indexes too! By the way, I think this may be Henry senior’s marriage, but uses another first name and wife’s maiden name hard to make out.

The groom’s name in the margin may be “Waoge” as Familysearch.com has it; they give the bride’s name as MARIA PAULINA LANGENHEVER. Her last name is hard to read on the photocopy of the original I got from Ancestry.com. The first letter could be an L or an S when I compare to those letters elsewhere on this document. It may be Langenhever, Langenliever or Langenhever? Obviously, as the microfilm is itself a copy of the original into the County record book, the first transcribers may have had trouble with it and confused dome letters even before Ancestry.com made their attempt.

Most of them are buried in Saint Lucas Cemetery Also known as: Park Hill Cemetery, Sappington, St. Louis County, not sure if they have headstones, but I got word there is no record of the father there.
Slowly we learn more than we had before.

good hunting! ron
