Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection includes documents relating to the ownership of the lots and dwelling at 7820 Minnesota Avenue. There is also a genealogy chart for the Wesloh-Wohlschlaeger family and copies of photographs of the family and the family home. Items in the collection are sporadically dated from 1869 to 1991. The collection is arranged alphabetically by topic. The earliest item in the collection is a survey completed for Mr. Nicholas Ast by the city engineer of Carondelet for Lots 4 and 5 in Block 29, focusing primarily on the years it was owned by four generations of the Zeller/Wohlschlaeger family. Documents concerning ownership of the lots and dwelling include a deed from Nicholas Ast to Wilhelmina Schumacher (April 7, 1883); a deed from Wilhelmina Schumacher to Michael Zeller (February 7, 1890); quit claim deeds from both Elizabeth Zeller and Elizabeth Wohlschlaeger to Michael A. and Theresa Wohlschlaeger (May 21, 1926); a deed of trust between Michael A. and Theresa Wohlschlaeger, Amedee A. Schilly and Elizabeth Wohlschlaeger (Mary 21, 1926); a general warranty deed from Michael A. Wohlschlaeger to Ferdinand and Theresa Wesloh (June 26, 1944); a 1943 permit to Michael A. Wohschlaeger to make changes to buildings on the property; and a general sale contract from Ferdinand and Theresa Wesloh to James W. and Mary Casey (April 1978). Photocopies of three photographs include a four-generation photo of the Zeller-Wohlschlaeger family dated circa 1905, a street view of the home, and Amadee Wohlschlaeger standing in front of the home. The final item is a genealogy chart for Ferdinand and Theresa (Zettwoch) Wesloh.
