Hannibal Evans Lloyd translation
Berger Creek is a small Franklin County stream, flowing into the Missouri from the southwest.
Washington (Missouri) was settled some time prior to 1818, and incorporated in 1841. The first brick house was built in 1834. It is the largest town in Franklin County, and originally had a considerable German element among the population.—Ed.
