CHARLES MOENKHAUS, proprietor of the St. George Hotel, Huntingburgh, Ind., 
was born in Louisville, Ky., March 18, 1860, and is one of seven children 
born to the marriage of William Moenkhaus and Fredrica Ramsbrok, who are 
natives of Germany.  Charles came to Dubois County with his parents when a 
child, and was raised by them in Huntingburgh, receiving a fair German and 
English education.  He was engaged in the hotel business with his father 
until February, 1883, when he assumed control of the business, and has 
conducted it successfully ever since.  The St. George is the best hotel in 
the town or county, and commands the leading local and transient trade and
is well and comfortably furnished throughout.  February 4, 1883, he married 
Louisa Bretz, a native of Dubois County.  He and wife are members of the 
Evangelical Lutheran Church, and he is a Democrat, and successful and 
enterprising young business man.
