You can help make this gallery (aka album) a more complete historical record by adding your photos and documents. Documents of interest include baptism, confirmation and marriage certificates; memorial keepsakes; letters and post cards; baby books; obituaries and other newspaper columns; art work; and almost anything that adds to the life stories of our ancestors. Your great grandchildren and the genealogists who come after you will thank you later! Send jpg or gif image files to Sandy (e-mail SANDYDENNIS plus an at sign plus COMCAST plus a period plus NET) and let her know - as best as you can - WHO is in the image, WHAT was the special event, WHERE the image was taken, and WHEN the image was taken. If you are guessing at any of those details, use words like PERHAPS, ABOUT and POSSIBLY when describing the image. If you are unable to create jpg or gif files, you can have Sandy come to your home with a scanner to create the files for you. Your photos and documents will never leave your possession.

familyimages > Home built by Adam Sachs The following was taken from a copy of a newspaper clipping of unknown origin. The article was likely written around 1954 as it mentions the sale of Sachs land to Tilsenbilt, Inc., and that sale reportedly occurred in 1953. BY JUDY JOHNSON If an arrow could fly directly from the Semo home (mentioned in last week's article) to the Louis Sachs home at 1841 Oakdale, it would divide West St. Paul diagonally in half. The Sachs homestead, built by Louis' grandfather in 1863 is the second oldest remaining home in West St. Paul. The home, which the Palmer Hallan family presently occupy, is situated on three acres of the original Sachs property. The remaining acres were sold last year to Tilsenbilt, Inc. - only the house and few acres remaining in Sachs' hands. Tilsenbilt plans to develop a 300-unit housing project there soon. This was the first time in 100 years that the land changed hands and its second owner since the United States government had title to it following Indian treaties. According to Elard Sachs, Louis' father, who is now residing at 1867 Oakdale, the Sachs homestead looks much the same now as in its earlier years. Most likely, Adam Sachs, Elard's father, built it for many more generations of Sachses. Adam Sachs constructed the house out of solid brick. Some of the walls are four layers of brick thick, and others are three, Mr. Sachs said. The window ledges are about 18-inches wide, he added. Although the house was built in the middle-years of the Civil War, building materials in the frontier country were by no means scarce - if you didn't mind hauling the bricks over the hills of St. Paul. O $3 PER 1,000 BRICKS "My father paid $3 a thousand for the freshly-baked bricks," Elard said. "he was a bricklayer by trade, until he went into farming; before that he built the entire house himself." In the basement the original timbers, hewn from oak, are still sturdy supports, promising many more decades of endurement. According to Mr. Sachs, the oaks were once trees growing on the Sachs land. The house originally had eight rooms, four upstairs, and four down. Before Elard Sachs moved from the homestead eighteen years ago, he added a huge kitchen and bedroom to the structure. (One bedroom downstairs had been previously refashioned into part of the living room.) In one of the rooms Elard Sachs was born in 1878.
