I have a photo taken in Cleveland, OH in the 1880's. It shows two elderly adults (Fredrick and his wife?), and 5 younger adults. I know that two of the adults were Franz (Frank) and Wilhelm (William). All were born in Prussia. Does this fit into anyone's family? Thank You, Bob

In my book, "Genealogical & Local History Books in Print" [5th Edition] I have found a listing for a book which might be of help to those of us with the KAYLOR spelling...and to some of us whose Köhler spelling might have changed to (or from) KAYLOR over the years. The book is titled, "Johannes Werbel and His Descendants. The Warvel-Warble Family History 1740-1991" by Ralph W. Morton and John H. Warvel. The book is indexed and illustrated. It has 848 pages and 20,000 names are in the index. Leslie Bridges Kohler >> 'Born' 8/17/98 the TROTTER surname list << >> Variations of Köhler?? Join the KOEHLER list <<

Penny My WEIS line is from Godramstein, Bayern, Rheinpfalz, Germany. My Georg Ludwig WEIS was born 14 Apr. 1817 there and married 1852 Nussdorf to Anna Margaretha Gunthert of Nussdorf. From there they immigrated to Harrison Co., IN. They were members of the Salem Peace German Reformed Church in New Middletown, IN so I assume they may have been Lutheran in Germany. I am sorry that this doesn't connect to your line. Roger KOEHLER-L@rootsweb.com wrote: > Roger, > > My WEIS line is from Gamshurst, Baden, Germany.

Kansas and Kansans: Volume 4 Mr. White was born at Whitstable, a town on the seacoast in County Kent, England, January 27, 1842. He was the second in a family of seven children born to Joseph and Jane (Collar) White. He was the only member of the family to come to America. His father Joseph was a sea captain. Mr. White was reared in England and in the English schools and largely through his own persistence and studious habits acquired a good education. While in England he learned shorthand. He acquired proficiency in this by arduous work often by candle light, and also commenced the reading of law. He married in England, and two years later, in 1867, determined to seek his fortune in the New World.

HISTORY OF EARLY CHICAGO MODERN CHICAGO AND ITS SETTLEMENT EARLY CHICAGO, AND THE NORTHWEST BY ALBERT D. HAGER page 228 Another hotel and scarcely less noted in its time was the Green Tree Tavern, which stood on the northeast corner of Canal and Lake streets. It was built by James Kinzie in 1833, and opened for business by David Clock, who in a short time relinquished his proprietorship to Edward Parsons. The next proprietors were two young men, Snow and Spear, who kept it until 1838, when John Gray managed it until 1841. He sold out to George W. Rogers, who was its owner until 1845. During his time the house was known as the Chicago Hotel. The following year he was succeeded by F. A. Mcintyre. From the directory of 1848 it is learned that J. w. Noyes was then running it under the name of Noyes Hotel. In the next year it again changed hands and names, being called the Rail Road House, which title it held until 1851, when it became the Atlantic Hotel. Shortly after that year, Fred Meher took charge of the house and, in 1854, changed its name to the (West) Lake Street House. He continued to run it until 1859. Afterward it became a tenement house, having, however, a saloon in the lower front part. It remained standing at the corner of West Lake and Canal streets until 1880, when it was removed to Nos. 33, 35 and 37 Milwaukee Avenue, in order to make room for the American Iron Company's buildings which now occupy its former site. At this time (1884) the house still stands at the above numbers, and perhaps scarcely one among the thousands who pass it daily are aware of its historic character or that it is one of the -oldest buildings in existence in the city. There stands to-day on the southeast corner of Canal and Randolph streets a small two-story frame building, sadly dinged by age and exposure to the weather, for which the claim is made that it was the first frame house built on the West Side. In years now long since past it was known as the Western Hotel, and was built in 1835, as near as can be learned, by W. H. Stow, who came to Chicago in 1833. Mr. Stow was by trade an iron founder, and at one time had his shops on the rear end of the lot on which he later built his hotel. As he employed a number of men, his house was more of a boardinghouse for local custom than for the accommodation of the transient public. Mr. Stow kept the house until 1852, at which time he rented it to Martin Dodge and William R. Irish, who, trader the firm name of Dodge and Irish, conducted it until the following year. when Irish retired from the firm, being succeeded by A. P. Collar. The name of the house was, on the retirement of Mr. Stow from its management, chauged to Commercial Hotel. Dodge & Collar remained the proprietors until early in 1854. when the building was partially destroyed byq fire. After this it was rebuilt and in the years 1855-56 appears in the city directories as the Wilson House, kept by T. O. Wilson. With this terminated its career as a hotel or boarding-house. it is now occupied as a saloon, which is kept and owned by a son of the man who originally built and owned the house.

Hi Köhler's, You might get tired of hearing from me because I am sick with some irritating abdominial 'bug' and this helps to keep my mind off of it. The piece below was found this morning on the web. Leslie Bridges Kohler >> 'Born' 8/17/98 the TROTTER surname list << >> Variations of Köhler?? Join the KOEHLER list << ------ An Enduring Legacy An Enduring Legacy: Volume Eight Pioneer Fashions Utah County In the early nineties [sic 1890's], a reform in dress swept the country. It was called the Delsarte make of dress. It was aimed against the tight corset and small waist. Its advocates pointed out that the body should be free and unfettered; that clothing should be hung from the shoulders with no tight, high collars, no tight sleeves or waistbands; that garters should hang from the shoulders and that slips should be used instead of petticoats, and then only one should be worn; that the skirt be gored and the length be slightly above the shoe top. With the shorter dresses, stockings were brought up above the knee. This style was brought to Manti by LOUISE KELLER, who had attended school in Chicago the previous winter. The neck of the dress was finished with a lay-down collar of lace. A union suit took the place of a chemise and pantalets. This brought about a different style of corset, one that came up to the bustline and down to the hips.
