After the death of Frances's father, Joseph Keute, in June 1864, her mother, Magdalena, or "Helen" as she was called, married widower Henry Rakers.
Frances married Henry Dierker and they lived on Neosho near Meramec, in St Louis. They later sold that property to the archdiocese of St Louis, and Resurrection Church was built there.
About 1910, the Dierkers moved to Sappington where they bought the farm and house built and formerly occupied by the Eddy family. This house was built by slaves before the Civil War. It is said that the bricks were made by using the clay and mud from the Meramec River, some miles away.
The Dierkers ran a farm and were famous for their white asparagus, selling them at a market stand on Gravois near Sappington. It was said that they sold produce to the Busch family, and that they were quite proud of their produce and refused to sell anything but the best to their customers.
When bought by Henry Dierker, the Eddy house was already considered to be an old historic house. Sadly, the Dierker descendents, Frank, Henry, and Dina, allowed themselves to be duped out of the property by a man named Sagel. He sold it to developers, who tore in down and built a subdivision. Gerry Meier has the only surviving photos of the house.
