LOUIS ECKSTENKEMPER (deceased), was born in Steele, Germany, August 1,
1822.  He came to America in about 1848, and directly to this city.  For a
few years after his arrival he engaged in several kinds of business, and by
careful management was able to save up the necessary means to enable him to
enter the lumber trade, which he did in 1866, having conducted a grocery
business for the twelve years immediately previous.  He married Franziska
Pleiman in this city, June 17, 1851.  They have six children living: Louis
Jr., Matilda, Amalie, Alice, Edward and George.  Matilda married Fred
Albright, of Shaw & Albright, shoe manufactures and dealers; Amalie married
William Winkler, wholesale grocer, of this city.  Mr. Eckstenkemper died of
typhoid fever May 29, 1866, highly esteemed by all his fellow citizens, his
loss being severely felt by the people of Louisville, where for eighteen
years he had served as director in the German Insurance Bank; also as
president of the Louisville Warehouse Company.  He was twice elected a
member of the city School Board; was vice-president of the Liederkranz
society for fifteen years, and a member of the same society for twenty-five
years.  He was during most of his life in this city a worthy member of the
Free and Accepted Masons, and for many years a member of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, whose members, by his death, lost a bright link in
the chain that binds them to earth, but in whose memory his many virtues
will ever be kept green.
