Albert Pappe Baptism Certificate

Albert Andreas Louis Pappe 1883 - 1909

Richard and Louise Pappe's son, Albert Pappe was baptized in Newton, Kansas on August 26th, 1883. Witnessing the baptism were Richard's brother, Albert Pappe, a relative of Louise, Louis Kornrumpf, and an unknown person named Andreas Martin. It is not known whether Louis Kornrumpf was Louise's brother, Gerhardt Louis Kornrumpf, or perhaps an uncle or cousin. Albert's name is derived from the first names of each of the witnesses, as was the custom in some parts of Germany.

A transcription of his Baptism certificate and an English translation follows:

hereby certified by
A. S. Teutschel, Ph.D., Pastor

Notes:

1) Louis Kornrumpf is possibly Louise's older brother, Gerhardt Louis Kornrumpf, born June 03, 1857 in Gross Lengden, Germany. A Louis Kornrumpf lived in Kansas City, KS and can be found in the 1890 city directory (Koenrumpf) and the 1885 state census (Kornrunts).

2) The 1885 Kansas state census shows an A.S. Teruschel living in Wichita, KS, which is about 20 miles due south of Newton, KS. He was born in Germany. No occupation is listed. Other online sources list him as a traveling minister.

3) The 1885 Kansas state census shows an A. Martin living in Augusta, Butler Co., KS, which is about 30 miles SE of Newton, KS. His occupation is listed as "miller" so it's possible this is the same Andreas Martin and that Richard Pappe, a baker, purchased baking ingredients from him.
