Goeke of Kirksville, who i now assisting in his son's store in thib city, on August first will celebrate his fiftieth anniversary as a shoe maker "Fifty years ago August 1, I began my work as an apprentice as a shoemaker at Osnabruck, Mr. Goeke told a representative of The Constitution "Wednesday morn- Ing while taking a few minutes from hl3 work at the Goeke store. "My apprenticeship lasted for three and one-half years and at that time I was 17 years old.

I decided to come to America and I left Osnabruck, landing at Baltimore, Md. I worked at my trade there for time, going from there to Philadelphia and later to New York. When I completed my apprentice trade in Germany I thought I knew everything about the making of shoes but when I began work In America I soon discovered tkat I had not mastered my trade," ho continued. While in New York Mr. GoeSe at the Koeler shoe shop on Broadway.

This shop was one of the leading custom made shoe shops in New York at that time, the cheapest ehoe which was made there sold for $18. At that time shoes were very cheap but makers of custom shoes demanded a big price and received it. In 1884 Mr. Goeke, knowing he had mastered the trade, came west and settled at Quincy in 18S4. After remaining there several years he went to St.

Louis and from that city to Edina where he remained until eleven years' ago" when 'he" moved to KirkHville where he now resides. Mr. Goke has worked in every branch of the shoe business, having spent some time selling shoes on the road. The greater part of his time, however, has been spent in making and repairing shoes. "The first pair of shoes I ever made were for myself and since that time I have made every pair of shoes that I have worn," he said.

"Not that 1 cannot buy as good a shoe from the stock of shoes on the shelf but it has become a habit with me and I continue to make my shoes." November 9, 1887 Mr. Goeke was married to Miss Elizabeth Templeman at Qnincy. To this union ten children were born, eight of whom are now living. They are George Goeke, Newton, Prank Goeke, Chillicothe; Ed and Henry Goeke and Misses May and Eleanor Goeke, Kirksville; John of Kansas City and Herbert of Moberly.
