By Margaret Leidy Harner from her book One Day at a Time: A Social History of Boyertown, PA.
January 11, 1895: Boyertown native Bob Gehris has struck it rich and is now living in elegant style in Paris. He left Boyertown ten years ago and has since traveled extensively.
Reportedly, a very wealthy New York widow named him her heir and has left him a very considerable sum of money. He is evidently bent on seeing the world with the spoils of his sudden and unexpected inheritance.
Bob is a “finely built young man, a veritable Apollo in appearance” who would attract attention anywhere. He is very fond of his parents and no doubt will share his good fortune with them. “A man with his character is bound to make his mark on the world.”
Cloudy , with a high of 95 and low of 72 degrees. Fog in the morning, sunny in the afternoon, thundery outbreaks in nearby for the evening, fog overnight.
Thank you for this article. We need to hear the stories/experiences of people pro and con.
Thank you for your support, Sandra! Too many people don't know that in "LGBTQIA" the "A" stands for "aly," of which, I can easily count Jane and you as two of them! -Yergz
Sounds like a wonderful time was enjoyed by the children and also their parents. Thank you Mandy and Judy.
