Knobbe, Sr.\u00a0 He and his wife were instrumental in having the home preserved in 1995 and moved to Brookes Park from Dunn Road.<\/p>\n<p>After several meetings with Joseph and his cousin, Mel Roettger, Busken was able to make several family connections that led him to finding photos of the 12 children that had lived in the home.\u00a0 During his search, he came across a family newsletter published by another cousin, Jean Henke, proving to be a strong source of information.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Her research and family photos were a great help to me in putting the pieces of the puzzle together,&#8221; added Busken.\u00a0 Of the 12 Knobbe\/Henke children, 10 were married at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Florissant.\u00a0 He was able to obtain all their wedding photos, dating back to 1901.<\/p>\n<p>Due to hard work and smart decision making, Knobbe became the owner of 300+ acres of rich fertile farm land in St. Louis County in less than 20 years after coming to America.\u00a0 All of the Knobbe\/Henke children attended Sacred Heart School, walking three miles to and from school daily.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The St. Louis Historical Building Commission plans to present the 2010 Adaptive Reuse Award to The Knobbe House at the May 11 St. Louis County Council meeting.\u00a0 The presentation will take place before the meeting begins at the St. Louis County Government Center, 41 South Central in Clayton.\u00a0 This award is being given to the City of Hazelwood for saving an old building and giving it new life again with a useful purpose.<\/p>\n<p>The Knobbe House in Brookes Park is available for meetings, rentals and social events.\u00a0 For information on how to make reservations, contact Dave Thomasson at (314) 513-5080 or visit the City of Hazelwood\u2019s website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hazelwoodmo.org\/\">www.hazelwoodmo.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knobbe House Stan Busken of Liberty, Mo., visited the City of Hazelwood recently to present the Historic Preservation Commission with a $1,000 donation to be used toward the acquisition of display materials to show photos of the Knobbe family and his ancestors.
