Cochran in Parkersburg WV in the 1920s? He is listed as the "friend" who my wife's g-grandfather and his two eldest children were planning to join when they arrived in the U.S. from Germany on July 4, 1923. They were Wilhelm Emig, 42, Adam Emig, 18, and Anna Emig, 17, from Darmstadt. Wilhelm's wife, Margarete, and two youngest children arrived in New York in November 1923 and joined the others at 1241 Latrobe Street in Parkersburg. I'd like to have any information on I. G. Cochran's business and whether he employed other immigrants, German or otherwise.
