<p>Emil Bernhard Krausse (1827-1886) was born in Loessnitz, Saxony, and he learned the art of engraving from his oldest brother, possibly his brother Alfred. He joined the Brockhaus firm in Leipzig and accepted the opportunity when the Belcher Sugar Company requested a Brockhaus engraver to produce an engraving of St. Louis and its riverfront, particularly the company?s steamboats. Emil arrived in St. Louis in 1851 with the intention of completing the job and returning home. However, by the time he finished the engraving six months later, he had decided to remain in St. Louis.</p>

<p>Emil?s obituary in the Westliche Post states that his 1852 aerial view of St. Louis was his last engraving, as the profession was too hard on his eyes. He instead entered his father?s trade and opened a factory to produce dyes and other chemical and metal products. The company had a succession of names between 1857 and 1864, including Krausse, Kueck & Co. and Missouri Barytes Works, but was known as Page & Krausse from 1864 until 1902/1903, when it became Nulsen, Klein & Krausse.</p>

<p>Emil became a naturalized citizen in July 1854, and married Anna Louise Veerkamp (1832-1906) in 1855. Anna was brought to the United States from Germany when she was three years old. Anna?s mother, Louise Veerkamp, and sister, Mary (Maria) Hall, lived with the couple for a time around 1860.</p>

<p>Emil and Anna had six children, although Clemens and another child died in infancy. The four surviving children were Cornelia Louise (1859-1928); Emil Berhnad, Jr. (1862-1936); Hedwig ?Hattie? Alwina (1867-1927); and Selma Ottilia (1871-1957).</p>

<p>Cornelia married Louis D. Vogel (1853-1929). They had at least one son, Clifford Vogel.</p>

<p>Emil married Annie Blue (1864-1941) and entered into the family business, working for a time at Page & Krausse.</p>

<p>Hedwig married Albert Stocker (1859-1920). Their daughter, Cornelia Louise Stocker (born 1896), married Albert Plumer. Cornelia and Albert had at least one daughter, Alberta Plumer Schlesinger.</p>

<p>Selma married Frederick Charles Papendick (1865-1946). Their only daughter, Lucille, was born in 1900.</p>

Emil Bernhard Krausse（1827-1886）出生于萨克森州洛伊茨尼茨，他从其哥哥（可能是 Alfred）那里学习了雕刻艺术。他加入了莱比锡的 Brockhaus 公司，并接受了 Belcher 糖业公司请求 Brockhaus 雕刻家制作圣路易斯及其河岸（尤其是公司的蒸汽船）雕刻的机会。Emil 于 1851 年抵达圣路易斯，本意是完成工作后返回家乡。然而，六个月后完成雕刻后，他决定留在圣路易斯。

《西方邮报》中 Emil 的讣告称，他的 1852 年空中俯瞰圣路易斯的作品是他最后的雕刻作品，因为这项职业对他的眼睛造成了过度负担。他转而进入父亲的事业，开设了一家工厂，生产染料及其他化学和金属产品。该公司在 1857 年至 1864 年间经历了多次更名，包括 Krausse, Kueck & Co. 和 Missouri Barytes Works，但自 1864 年至 1902/1903 年间一直以 Page & Krausse 为名，之后成为 Nulsen, Klein & Krausse。

Emil 于 1854 年 7 月成为归化公民，并在 1855 年与 Anna Louise Veerkamp（1832-1906）结婚。Anna 于三岁时从德国被带到美国。Anna 的母亲 Louise Veerkamp 和妹妹 Mary（Maria）Hall 在 1860 年左右曾与这对夫妇同住。

Emil 和 Anna 共有六个孩子，但 Clemens 和另一个孩子在婴儿时期去世。幸存下来的四个孩子分别是 Cornelia Louise（1859-1928）、Emil Berhnad 小子（1862-1936）、Hedwig（Hattie）Alwina（1867-1927）和 Selma Ottilia（1871-1957）。

Cornelia 与 Louis D. Vogel（1853-1929）结婚。他们至少有一个儿子，Clifford Vogel。

Emil 与 Annie Blue（1864-1941）结婚，并加入了家族企业，曾在 Page & Krausse 公司工作一段时间。

Hedwig 与 Albert Stocker（1859-1920）结婚。他们的女儿 Cornelia Louise Stocker（生于 1896 年）嫁给了 Albert Plumer。Cornelia 和 Albert 至少有一个女儿，Alberta Plumer Schlesinger。

Selma 与 Frederick Charles Papendick（1865-1946）结婚。他们的女儿 Lucille 于 1900 年出生。
