Hallo,
With regard to the inscription below - this may be the date the prayer book was received:-
'Winter, 1906, St. Stephenus'
The Day of St. Stephen is 26th December and historically this is when gifts were exchanged in Britain and is still known as 'Boxing Day'.

Hello,
Wanted to write even though this note might likely sound silly.
While back I posted this obituary:
MEYER - On Thursday, Dec. 9, 1915, at 6 p. m., John U. Meyer, beloved
husband of Theresa Meyer (nee Drager*), beloved father of Mrs. Amelia Michel*,
Mrs. Hattie Klingler, Mrs. Louise Butz*, and our dear grandfather, and
great-grandfather, at the age of 83 years. Funeral from the residence at
Carsonville, Mo., on Monday, Dec. 13, at 8:30 a. m., to St. Ann's Church,
thence to St. Ann's Cemetery, Normandy, Mo.
Later I wrote about my great grandmother Rosie who was a good friend of Lulu Butz. Had the idea that Drager* was Droege in the obit...
Anyhow...Another good friend of GGM Rosie Feldhaus was Aunt Mamie Knable.
