by Randall Gephart (Author)
In the mid 1800's, Henry Gephart and his Mary Elizabeth with their son Peter immigrated from Germany to the United States. Starting as a laborer on a farm earning 25 cents a day, Henry earned enough to start his own farm with 80 acres of land. From this couple the Gephart family expanded across the country, and grew to well over 830 descendants. This book documents this family's growth.
