From "The Moving Forces in the History of Old Bonhomme"
Louis and Rosina Strothkamp settled in Japan, Missouri, where in 1868 a son was born to them: Louis E. Strothkamp. He was given the advantages of the district schools and subsequently was engaged in various pursuits, one of which was a livery stable and store, and in 1894 a business partnership in a funeral establishment with William Schrader in Ballwin. William Schrader had taken a course in embalming soon after that profession was established; Louis E. Strothkamp hauled the bodies with his horses and wagons. In 1904, Louis E. Strothkamp sold his business in Ballwin and moved to Manchester, where he became involved in St. Louis County politics. He was Circuit Clerk in Judicial District #13 under Judge John W. McIlhinney (1904-1910-1916), and in 1910, Louis E. Strothkamp and Semon X. Weidner were on a committee of 100 men of St. Louis city and county who presented a proposition to the voters aimed to establish what was known as the "Outer Park District".
