Notes
a. Note:   Chris Amelung immigrated to the U.S. around 1846-47 and according to his obituary was age 14 when they arrived at Jackson, Missouri with his parents. While still in Germany, Christian worked in a Glass Company (per Nelle White, granddaughter) before coming to the United States.

His brother, Henry, was a farmer like their parents and purchased the family farm from his mother.

 Christian Amelung died at his home in Pilot Knob last Thursday afternoon after a long and painful illness at the age of 71. The deceased was a good man and was highly respected in the community where he has so long made his home. The remains were interred in the Pilot Knob Cemetery Saturday afternoon.
  I was also fortunate to receive the following obituary from Edith Amelung of Festus, Mo. which gives a great deal of information on Christian's life and character.
  Christian Amelung was called to his eternal reward at 2:30 p.m. August 6, 1903. Death was due to paralysis, which developed a few months ago. Deceased was born seventy-one years ago, September 26, near Hanover, Germany and came to Jackson, Mo., with his parents at fourteen years of age. He learned the trade of engineering and mechanism at Iron Mountain, from which place he came to Pilot Knob in 1856, filling the position of engineer, machinist and Master Mechanic for the Pilot Knob Co. during the productive years of their management.
  He was an active member of the German Evangelical Lutheran Church, from which place the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Schlesselmann, and his remains laid to rest in the Pilot Knob cemetery.
  He was a good, kind husband, a father in its truest sense, and will long be mourned by the family and the community where he so long faithfully labored. He was married to Johanna Bodenstein in 1852, who with the following children survive him: William and Herman of Pilot Knob; John and Mrs. Edwin Watters, of Iron Mountain; Henry J. of St. Louis, and Edward H., of Saginaw, Mich.
  I knew Mr. Amelung for over forty-five years and in all that time he never did an act unworthy a good man. He was truly one of "natures noblemen," and played his humble part patiently, faithfully and cheerfully. He sleeps the final sleep, but the living are the richer and better because of his having been.
  Iron County Register Newspaper, Ironton, Missouri, February 16, 1882, Page 5. A Big Find--About ten days ago, CHRISTIAN EMMERLUNG, engineer at the Pilot Knob furnace, discovered a vein of ore near the company's office. Men were set to work on it, and at this time a vein of ten feet of solid ore has been developed. It is one of the biggest things in connection with the history of the company. For thirty years people have walked and worked over the spot without suspecting the richness that lay under their feet.
  Iron County Register Newspaper, August 26, 1886, Volume XX, Number 7. Chris Amelung finished laying the discharge pipe from the furnace up on the hill for the large pump last week. We have the large pump now, but no water.
  Iron County Register Newspaper, October 14, 1886, Volume XX, Number 14. The 54th birthday of Christian Amelung was celebrated at his residence in Pilot Knob on last Saturday night, by his children, and many friends. The Pilot Knob Cornet Band, as usual, was there, and the boys did their level best. Plenty to eat, plenty to drink, and we all went home in the morning.
  Iron County Register Newspaper, December 2, 1886, Volume XX, Number 21. Mr. Henry Amelung of Cape Girardeau was on the hill Monday. He is visiting his brother Christian Amelung, of this place.
