 General Notes:
The brewery was called the Kohring Distilling Co.
It was established in 1863 and incorporated in 1902 (this was just before
the Worlds Fair there in St. Louis - only incorporated businesses could sell
their wares at the Fair which is why it was done at that time). The President was
Fred. H. Kohring, and the Sec'y & Treas. was Otto G. Kohring.
Jobst was involved somehow in this operation because on census records he was listed
as a liquor dealer in 1880 & 1900. Plus family talk had him as the person who
started it all when he first came to the U.S. I am guessing that Fred. H. is his
son Frederich Henry Kohring, and that Otto G. is his son Otto Gerhardt Kohring. 16
Noted events in his life were:
• God Father: Gerhard Friedrich Finup. 10,16 Colonus/Bauer im Loh
• Confirmation, 1846, Melle, Hanover. 10,16
• Occupation: Distillery Owner. 16
Jobst married Anna Katherine Sober on 11 Jun 1859 in St. Louis, Missouri.46 (Anna Katherine Sober was born in May 1841 in Germany 16 and died in 1910 in St. Louis, Missouri 16.)
