Are any of you Gaba s who are posting related to Charles Luther Gaba who lived most of his life in Springfield, Mo, and died there about 15 years ago? His brother was Caleb, and lived in Marshfield, Mo. I believe he had a sister named Jessie. At least now I have some idea why the name was alwsys pronounced Gabi, though spelled Gaba.
Lee Gaba

My great-great grandfather was Isaac Gaba. His son Joseph was my greatgrandfather, I believe. My grandfather's name was Martin Francis. My greatgrandfather and his wife died from yellow fever, I think and were buried in Crockett County, TN. Their children were adopted by members of the Methodist Church. Does that ring a bell with anyone?

I think some of the family moved from Missouri to Tennessee in the early part of the 20th century. My grandfather, Martin Francis, was the son of Joseph Gaba. I believe Joseph and his wife died of yellow fever.
