Biography

Gertrud was born about 1835^[1] in the Kingdom of Hanover.^[2] She immigrated to the United States around 1856^[3] and married Joseph Sohl. She died in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania in 1907.^[1]

Research Notes

Gertrude's death certificate cites a birthdate of 20 March 1835, though the age it provides—71 years, 9 months and 19 days as of 18 January 1907—supports a date of 30 March 1835.^[1] The United States census of 1900, on the other hand, reports that she was born in March 1837.^[3]

Though her given name is written "Gertrude" on most documents, she signed her will "Gertrud Sohl" in 1904.^[4] Her maiden name is given in a biographical sketch of her son-in-law, Francis R. Schneider.^[5]
