Dear Eldred, I am searching for Jesse Carpenter GOHL, [only info I have] born 1871 in Williamsport, Lycoming Co., PA; married 1892 to Wilhelmina WILLIG and died in 1955 all in Williamsport, Lycoming Co., PA. Had a son and two daughters; Harry Franklin GOHL, b.5/21/1893 (husband's father); Ethel GOHL b. 1895; and Rhea b. 12/24/1898. That is all I have for Jesse - is there any mention of him in your book? Thanks in advance for any help. Yours in searching and researching, Anita Fish GOHL from northern Idaho Ewa728@aol.com wrote: > Trudy, > It is stated in the History of Lycoming County that John F.
