Bernard Mersmann, St. Louis Blacksmith from 1840-1874
Bernard Mersmann was born about 1808-9 in Prussia.He arrived in St. Louis by 1842, where he married Maria Anna Goldstein May 17 1842 in the Old Cathedral in a Catholic ceremony.According to the marriage record he is the son of Gerhard and Cath. Mersmann.His family is in the 1850-60-70 US Federal census for St. Louis.He had at least 8 children, 2 of whom may have died young; they were christened in the Catholic church.He and his wife are buried in Calvary cemetery.I am seeking any information on his German ancestors and immigration to the US.I have extensive documentation on the family in St. Louis to share.
