Bleh! Excuse my typos.... I don't know why I persisted in typing that stray U in Achenbach. Ei yi Yi! My message SHOULD have read: This talk about Achenbachs - In the Tulpehocken area my 2x gr-grandmother was Elizabeth M. Achenbach, (b. abt 1833) who married Nathan Gruber, (b. abt 1830). They had a daughter Mary E. Gruber (b. Oct 1859) from whom I am descended. Elizabeth was the daughter of Jno. & Mary (unk) Achenbach. Richard, let me know if my Elizabeth intersects with your Achenbach tree. I remember reading about Michael Achenbach when he was killed. I felt so sad for those daughters. For quite a while there would be an 'In Memorium' notice in the newspaper every year on his birthday and the anniversary of the day he was killed. I'm not sure if that is continued into the present.

Hi Karen, Yes, it was very sad. He was a really nice guy, too. I have the one Memorial that they put in for him. I guess it's from the first anniversary of his death. Mike's name was spelled with the "u" in it, as in Auchenbach. I'm almost finished with the Old Glenside. Should have it done by Monday :o) :o) Lynn Karen wrote: I remember reading about Michael Achenbach when he was killed. I felt so sad for those daughters.
