As received by e-mail in February, 2000:
"I happened upon your website the other day, and noticed that you had a William Kehres listed. I am sending you some information which was given to me from a Leitzel relative. My Grandfather was Fred Kehres, and my grandmother was Irene Leitzel. -- Sharon Blankenship (Glassygal@aol.com). PS. I had to scan this from paper, so there may be some typo's that I didn't catch and fix.
"FRANKLIN L. KEHRES, of Rebuck, is engaged as a merchant, hotel- keeper and farmer carrying on a business established by his grand father many years ago. He has the leading story and hotel at the place. Mr. Kehres was born in Washington township, where he has passed all his life, Nov. 30, 1857, son of Nathan F. and Catharine (Hoffman) Kehres. He belongs to an old family of this region, his father and grandfather having lived in Washington township, and, bear a name which, in various forms, is now numerously represented in Pennsylvania. The original form was Gehres, and the branches of the family found in Berks and Schuylkill counties, and in the Shamokin region, still retain that spelling as the variation Gehris- William Kehres, grandfather of Franklin L. Kehres, made the change from 'G' to 'K' which has been followed by his posterity.
"John Gehres, the emigrant ancestor of this family, is said to have come from Germany, and at first located in Berks county; Pa., whence be moved across the Blue Mountains into Schuylkill county settling in the Deep Creek Valley, where he owned land. He died in 1820, and his wife, whose maiden name was Catharine Otto, survived him over fifty years, dying in April, 1873, at the advanced age of ninety-three. They were of the German Reformed faith, and are buried side by side at the Deep Creek Church.
