Old P otosi Days
Continued from last week.

Peter Cogle was a noted character
in his day. He built a log house in
Snake Hollow short distance below
the st. John Cave and founded the
first store which followed Van Buren,
in the direction of the upper mines
and at that handled the u. S. mail.
He also rose to the dignity of justice
OF the peace and upon one occasion
his court was honored by two disting-
uished lawyers, William Hull and Cy-
rus X. Lord. He was one of the found
ers of ST. Thomas Catholic church in
1886. He was a keen, Shrewd and
intelligent man. He left Potosi as did
many others for the gold fields of Cal
ifornia in 1849 and died enroute. The
discovery of the Cave and other big
mines soon peopled the ridges and
hollows with miners intent upon the
search of the precious ore. Many were
successful, fortunes were made and
spent in a day race with time
In 1885 Celestin Kaltenbach came
from the Dubuque lead mines with his
young wife and settled in Van Buren,
and ran hotel for several years
in building on a lot where the pres
ent office of the Potosi Lumber Com
pany now stands. This building in
years afterwards was occupied by diff
ferent families and was destroyed by
fire in the early fifties On Dec. 20,
1885, Mary, daughter, was born to
Celestin an Louisa Kaltenbach. She
was the first white child born in the
village of Potosi. She grew to young
womanhood and became the wife of
LYMAN E. Block and went to st. Louis
fO live Mr. and Mrs PInolZ !, ~,
children returned to Potosi in 1862 or
1868 and lived here for several years.
They again returned to st. Louis
where Mr.. Block engaged in whole
sale groceries. He died in 1910 aged
about 80 years Mrs. Block still re-
sides in st. Louis and is hale and
hearty for a woman of her years.

miners were flocking here from all
parts and were of many different
nationalities, Americans, English.
