Occupation(s) A possible mistake in transcription done by Ancestry.com shows - in the 1890 St. Louis Directory, a man named Henry Thien is listed as the a Superintendent of the First District Street Department, residing at 2800 Ohio Avenue and a man named John H. Thien is listed as being a tanner and living at 3516 N. Second Street.

Property :

Family :  Henry, or a man by the same name, is mentioned in the estate settlement of John B. Thien, who died in 1899 in St. Louis.  What relation these two men had is not known, perhaps they were brothers or cousins.  A man named Henry Thien, presumed to be the same man described here signed off on the estate settlement and the funeral expenses, and payment to ship the body to Defiance, Ohio.  He also seems to have inherited some of the money (about $147,000) and was paid for some services.  This huge amount of money in itself, may indicate that Henry Thien named in the estate is not the same man who is being described here.  John Thien was a ‘big businessman’ in Defiance, Ohio and was often mentioned in the press of that town.  He ran for City Council in 1882 in Defiance, and in 1886 was President of the City Council.  His estate settlement mentions properties in Defiance, Ohio.
