I got in touch with another descendant on ancestry.com and he told me about it.<br /><br />Michael & Mary were born and married in Baden, Germany. They immigrated to America about 1851 and Michael became a naturalized citizen in 1860. They purchased the house in which they died in 1861. their youngest son, John, witnessed the entire grisly event and testified in the inquiry held a day or so later. I have not found where they are buried.<br /><br />If you send me an email I can pass along the transcript of the inquiry. Here's my email address: woodchuck55@gmail.com Maybe you can include the entire article you posted from the Jersey Journal - the first column was cut off - I hadn't seen that one before. The event was published in the New York Times and another NY paper that I can't remember the name of.<br /><br />Thanks for posting what you do. I just happened to google "Michael Gehring 1872" today and your blog popped up. I was looking to see if I missed any other articles - GRIN<br /><br />ChuckChuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391254647384127562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182301947537322536.post-19869225893920151812014-12-18T16:13:57.315-05:002014-12-18T16:13:57.315-05:00That was quick!
