56	Became monk Pater Jost (Jodocus) at the monistary Muri near Ruswil. Godparents were: Peter Meyer of Mittelarig & Elisabetha Heini of Unterarig. FROM DR. JOSEPH STIRNIMANN Pater Jost Stirnimann (1654-17O6), Benediktiner der Abtei Muri The earliest well known order man of our family is Jost Stirnimann, monk of the Benediktiner-abbey Muri in the Aargau free office. Peter, like he with his baptism name (baptized on 25 February 1654 in the parish church in Buttisholz), perceived the light of the world in of oldest parent firm of our family in Rot in Ruswil as 3rd son of Hans-Jakob Stirnimann and Barbara Bucher. Of both brothers, Sebastian received, the older, the 160 Jucharten holding, fatherly farm in Rot, Hans, the younger, the farm inherited by uncle Peter Stirnimann in the adjoining Etzenerlen to the extent of 170 Jucharten. Peter, the brother of both, became, like the mentioned, monk of the Benediktiner-abbey Muri. That a farmer son in Rot decided on this cloister, was no chance. The cloister Muri has related for centuries of numerous farms in the office Ruswil the annual of tenth. The farmer in Rot accommodated the function of the tax collectors vis-á-vis the cloister into the 18th century, that is, he took in the duties owed the cloister of the farmers of the area, above all grain and fruits and delivered this the cloister. These constant contacts and relations might the young Peter Stirnimann moved have to enter into this cloister. Peter has been would educate since the 27 June 1670 student of the cloisters-. On 7 March 1672, he began the Noviziat. On 21 March 1673, he discarded his Profess under the cloister name Jost (Jodocus, Jodok). At the day before the Profess, the brothers secured delivered became Sebastian and Hans Stirnimaim "zue Etzenerlen and in the Roth Lucerner here-shaft" the novice the fatherly and motherly Erbanteil in the sum by 5000 guilders, that "in annemblichen, certain Gültbriefen" to the cloister. This dowry of 5000, Without doubt one of the highest, that received the cloister ever of a novice, corresponds after today's value of around a million Swiss francs. It does not surprise then also, that P. Leodegar Mayer, that at that time chronicler of the Klosters Muri, this dowry in his cloister history mentions and encloses, Frater Jost Stirnimaun "had been" out of a family rural, but very rich to be sure (" ex progenie quidem rustica, sed valde divite"). On 29 February 1676, Frater Jost became of the pontifical Nuntius in Lucerne the deacon and on 4 June 1678 to the head priest. On 29 June 1678, the Neupriester in the cloister church Muri in presence of his relative celebrated his Primizmesse. Pater Jost accommodated the office of the grain-master (Grananus) in the cloister. As such took it - it was the time of the Naturalwirtschafi - the duties of the monastic fief farms toward and had the supervision over the grain stores. That in his type unique, remaining salary of P. Jost is his journal composed under the title "Annale breve" (today in the archive of the Benediktiner-council in Sarnen: M 399, Pp 4). At the time before 1800, journals are a large rarity. P. Jost has his journal in one, expressed conceived pretty Latin. Only single, usually short sections are German written. P. Jost holds the historical recollections and events of his cloister in his records in addition to his personal observations and thought above all firmly. He pursued attentive in the years 1695/97 the structural work of the current cloister church Muri. The journal counts as the head source of the building history of this significant church central building. But also our family is P. Jost to be remained thanks to obligated, contains yet his journal an abundance of messages of Freud and Leid and interesting event in the life of his siblings and relatives with whom the order man remained closely connected. We give would let out of pressure wait, the publication of the journal and its German translation no longer for itself to the expectation. Pater Jost Stirnimann died in the cloister Muri on 28 December 1706 in the age of 52 years.	Stirnimann, Peter Jost (I785)
57	Benjamin LAMASTER was reared in Kentucky (Morgan Co.), where he remained until after his marriage. After the fall of 1859, he settled in Andrew county, Missouri, where he rented a farm for two years. He then bought a farm, which he sold a few years later and moved to St. Joseph, Missouri, where he ran an express wagon until his death, which occurred in 1889. In politics he was a Republican. NOTES from Barbara Bartels: Benjamin Lamaster and Elizabeth Wireman were married in Floyd Co., Kentucky, and lived in adjoining Morgan Co., Kentucky. Between 1856 and 1860 they moved to Andrew Co., Missouri. After 1870 they moved to St. Joseph, and Benjamin operated what was termedan express wagon. Son William seems to be the only child that went to St. Joseph (we know that Melvina later joined them there). The others stayed in Andrew County, Missouri, or went to Oklahoma. However, in 1989, an E.F. Lamaster signed the wedding license of William which indicated the presence in St. Joseph of E. F. (probably Elijah) for at least that date. In a biography on the son James L., Benjamin was termed a staunch republican. Benjamin and Elizabeth's death dates are from family tradition. Della was termed a widow in an 1895 land deed.

When the three eldest children moved to Smithland, Kentucky, he remained in Rahway, New Jersey. He went west in 1836 and visited the other members of the family in Smithland, Kentucky. He then returned to New Jersey and worked at his trade of tanner fora short time in Philadelphia. In 1838, he returned to Marshall County, Kentucky, with the intention of settling there, and bought 320 acres of land. He was a fervent abolitionist and disliked slavery so much that he left Kentucky, going to Cincinnatti,where he worked in a tannery.
