General Notes:
The brewery was called the Kohring Distilling Co. It was established in 1863 and incorporated in 1902 (this was just before the Worlds Fair there in St. Louis - only incorporated businesses could sell their wares at the Fair which is why it was done at that time). The President was Fred. H. Kohring, and the Sec'y & Treas. was Otto G. Kohring.
Jobst was involved somehow in this operation because on census records he was listed as a liquor dealer in 1880 & 1900. Plus family talk had him as the person who started it all when he first came to the U.S. I am guessing that Fred. H. is his son Frederich Henry Kohring, and that Otto G. is his son Otto Gerhardt Kohring. 16
