    3. My gg grandfather was Henry Eggers, a respected Louisville Taylor on Market St. who died around 1860-65. I can't find anything about him or his family other than a small article supplied to me by the Filson Club. Henry's wife was Catherine, that's all I have on her. They had several children but I can only track one, Charles (my g grandfather) who took over the business when his Dad died, according to the Filson Club document. There were family rumors that he was born in Frankfort, but it could be KY or Germany. They were a family of devout German Lutherans who may have even owned slaves in the pre-civil war era. Charles married Henrietta Hess, (her family owned the Hess Mortuary) their children were Henry, Minnie, Florence, and my grandfather Arthur, all born in Louisville. Any information about Henry and his family would be greatly appreciated. beckyj@kc.rr.com Thank you! Becky Eggers Jones Kansas City, MO
