Paul’s grandfather Joseph, born in 1880 and married with Emma Iffrig, whose ancestors are from Alsace, France, is owner of the farm shown below on the left side, situated in Iffrigroad in St. Peters, Missouri. The picture on the right side is taken about 2006 in front of the Joseph and Emma Stahlschmidt’s farmhouse on Iffrig road. The car belongs to Herbie Iffrig who lives at the end of Iffrig road.
The farm is west of St. Charles, Missouri in the fertile flood plain of the Mississippi river and is approximately 100 acres. Joseph enjoys hunting very much and drinking a few beers as evidenced by the photo taken along the Dardenne Creek.
Joseph and Emma have five children. Their names are Oliver, Elizabeth, Louis, Joseph Rafael, and Albert. Oliver, Louis, and Albert have careers in the Aircraft industry, Elizabeth is an office worker, and Joseph (Joe) is a banker.
