  Notes	https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/38695362/meyer-rosentreter Jan. 11, the Jewish Voice noted the tragic death of Meyer Rosentreter, father of Rabbi Adolph Rosentreter and Michael and David Rosentreter, wholesale clothiers. He was run over and "almost instantly killed" by car No. 46 of the Benton-Bellefontaine line at 10th and Franklin Streets while walking from a store to his home at 810 N. 11th. "He was thrown down by the mules attached to the car and almost crushed to death beneath their feet." Jan. 18, the Jewish Voice published Meyer Rosentreter's obituary. He was Amy Rosentreter Knoch's grandfather. The obituary said: "MEYER ROSENTRETER, who was laid to his eternal rest last Thursday afternoon [Jan. 10, 1889], was born at Gollantsch, Prussia [Golancz, Poland], April 13, 1826, [and] was therefore nearly 63 years of age at the time of his death. He served in the Prussian army from 1847 till 1851. After the Schleswig Holstein campaign, in which he was actively engaged, he was decorated by the King of Prussia for bravery. He was a large-hearted man and pious Israelite. A little over four years ago he immigrated into this country and immediately settled down in St. Louis, where all his children reside, two daughters and three sons, . Brasch and . N. Meyer, and Michael, Adolph (the rabbi of the B'nai Amoona Congregation) and David. The main trait in the character of the deceased was his affableness and benevolence. He loved to be obliging. In the short time of his residence here he made hundreds of friends, as his large funeral amply attested. His wife [also] survives him. He has left that which is more precious than all worldly wealth: A GOOD NAME."
