Hello. I am Gretchen Ewert Bochenek originally from Mobile, Al. My grandfather
Herman Ewert Grandmother Gretchen (Grace)
came from Germany in 1901-1902. They settled
in Davenport, IA. They had three sons
Frederick, Herman, Louis and George. All sons had the middle name Herman. Herman
Fred married and lived in St. Louis, Mo. until their deaths. Louis married Kathleen
Bru of Mobile and had two children. John and
Louise. George married Theresa Lipscomb and
had one daughter, me and one son, George Herman Ewert who lives in Mobile, Al.
When Herman Gretchen first arrived they
were befriended in Davenport, IA by the Brown
Family who were possibly family. Herman was
an artist and traveled alone on a sail boat
around the world several times. They had also lived somewhere in Texas prior to moving
to Mobile. Both Gretchen (Grace) and Herman
are buried in Pine Crest along with George
and Theresa and Louis. Any, Any association
with any other Ewerts or tie ins would be
great. Thanks for reading this long history.
Lots more if interested.
