Herman Keihling1

Male, #61281, (circa 1873 - )
Birth*circa 1873 He was born circa 1873 at Arkansas.1 
Research note*17 Mar 2010 Judy Healer wrote: "Herman Keihling was born in Arkansas about 1873. Herman's father was Herman Kaehling (Keiling) and born in Prussia. He had a sister named Freda Augusta Keahling. I know the spelling of this last name takes many turns. Freda Augusta Keahling was my grandmother and married James Gabriel Choate in Yell County, Arkansas. She died about 1937 in Young County, Texas.

"Back to the Hermans -- Herman, born in Prussia about 1828 and came to US through New Orleans in 1852. Apparently made it to St Louis, MO and was a shoemaker there. He was a member of the Missouri 15th Infantry Company C (Union) during the Civil War. He somehow wound up in Yell County, Arkansas in 1870 and is listed there as Herman Kaehling and is listed on the voter registration rolls. He had at least 2 children, Herman and Freda. The mother of these 2 children evidently died at a very early age and left the 2 orphaned. I know that Freda was reared by the Lum Satterfield family in Yell County.

"By 1887 Herman (the older one) was in a Home for Veterans in Leavenworth, Kansas and remained there until 1905. That is where I lose trace of him."1
