Wesley Jacob Gegenheimer and wifeWesley Jacob, Grand Father Gegenheimer and Aletha parents of Thomas Charles Gegenheimer  Another photo taken on the farm includes my Grandmother and Grandfather Wesley Jacob Gegenheimer on the right. Maybe someone out there can help me with the names of the two folks on the left. There is nothing that beats good Iowa cooking.  The story has been told that three brothers came to the USA
in the early 1800s. One settled in Indiana, another in Louisiana,
the the other in Iowa. Charles Frank father and my great great
grandfather (Charles Carl Gegenheimer) helped start the The Iowa
clan. He farmed for many years near Oxford Iowa. Relatives still
own some of the land near Oxford, where there is a Gegenheimer
Road. Charles Frank's son and my Grandfather Wesley Jacob Gegenheimer drilled water wells until an accident in the late 1920s. He died during the depression.
