  Die Familien von Birkenhördt, Böllenborn, Blankenborn und Reisdorf 1800-1875 von Andreas Drieß Band 2, Seite 157,175 3 - Information regarding the death of Margaret Wegman Seibert in Caruthersville, MO in 1890 or 1891, as per research carried out in 1974 by the "State Historical Society of Missouri", in Columbia, Missouri 65201, at my request. Following is the text of a letter sent to me by Mr. Winifred Stufflebam, of their Newspaper Library:June 27, 1974Mr. Robert Donnell[my address at the time]Dear Mr. Donnell:I am afraid we have no 1890 or 1891 newspapers for Caruthersville or any other Pemiscot County towns, except for one publication which includes two months of 1891. This is the GAYOSO DEMOCRAT for Nov. 6, 1891-Dec. 25, 1891. The death of Casper [Balthasar] Seibert's wife apparently was sometime in 1890 or 1891 [based on the obituary, above, for Balthasar Seibert], so I read the available Gayoso paper issues since only two months of weekly papers were involved. However, I did not find any mention of the death. As I may have mentioned, we do lend newspaper microfilm on interlibrary loan but this would not help you since we don't have the papers in question. Our issues of the CARUTHERSVILLE DEMOCRAT begin with Feb. 19 of 1892 and go through October of that year.We have some indexes of cemetery records of Pemiscot County which I checked for the Seibert name. I found the tombstone inscription for Casper in the Little Prairie Cemetery (Caruthersville) listings:Casper Seibert 1814-1901 [the date 1814 must be an error; the date 1901 is correct, according to his obituary - see above] However, I did not find any other Seibert listing in the cemetery indexes so apparently he was not buried near his wife. Or it could be that her grave was not marked or that the inscription was too faded to read. I had hoped to get the exact death date from the tombstone inscription.It would not be possible to get a death record for her since official state records were not kept until 1910. Some counties kept their own records before 1910, but a survey of these county records shows that Pemiscot County death records are available for only the years 1883-1885. These are kept at the office of the clerk at Caruthersville.I am sorry I could not help this time, but I hope you will let me know if you have any further inquiries.Sincerely,[signature: Winifred Stufflebam]Mrs. Winifred StufflebamNewspaper Library CENSUS: 1880: Name: Margaret SEIBERT Age: 64 Estimated birth year: <1816> Birthplace: GER Occupation: Keeping House Relation: Wife Home in 1880: St. John, Perry, Illinois Marital status: Married Race: White Gender: Female Head of household: B.
