Victor Scheppers birth
After Jeanne Françoise Corélie (1797-1813), Corneille Jean-Joseph (1798-1828) and Catherine Lucie Cornélie (1799-1817), it was Victor Jean-Baptiste Corneille, the youngest, who increased the prosperous brewer family.
The house Saint Christopher, where the family lived in the “Saint-Catherine” street that was later on turned into “The Antwerp street”, was demolished later and converted into the house we still know nowadays as nr. 21.
The house where V. Scheppers was born, changed, but the cradle itself was, as it is understood, kept in the family and one of the descendants of Joseph, Gaetan Scheppers de Bergstein, a four year older brother of Victor, granted it to the congregation.
