Looking for info on Joseph BOHR & Clara Reichel GER>Louisville>St. Louis 1843-1870?

Surnames: BOHR, REICHEL
I'm looking for any information someone may have for Joseph Bohr, who was born abt 1843 in Baden, Germany (according to 1870 census for St. Louis, MO, ward 9, pg. 381).

Joseph married Clara REICHEL on 30 Mar 1869 in Louisville, Jefferson Co., KY. The surety on the marriage bond was George Schisler, witnesses for the bond and the marriage license were Nicholas Bohr and Henry Martin. Joseph and Clara had a son - Thomas - born abt. July 1869 (according to the 1870 census, Thomas' age was listed as 11/12).

I'm not sure why Joseph moved from Louisville, KY to St. Louis, MO. It might have something to do with the short time span between his marriage to Clara and the birth of their 1st child (looks like Clara might have been 5 months pregnant when they wed). Joseph's occupation is listed as a "Driver" in the Edwards' Official Louisville City Directory, 1869 living at 246 W Market St.

I can find no information for Joseph, Clara or Thomas after the 1870 St. Louis census entry. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris Breen
