		Weeth, Georg Johann (1796-1844) & Maria Margaretha Müller (1796-1872) & Andrew Weeth (1839-1919) & Gertrude Kappius (1853-1890) & Nell Marie "Nellie" Weeth (1880-1986) & George "Charles Weeth" (1877-1917) & Martha "Mattie" Weeth (1873-1890) & Gerry Weeth Trimble Newspaper photo of this street sign led into an article by Claire Kowalick in the Dec.20, 2015 edition of the Times Record News, the Wichita Falls TX newspaper. The article charted the course of honoring some of Iowa Park’s earliest settlers by changing the names of two roads from Wyeth to the correct spelling of Weeth. Rodney and Margaret Weeth found the news item at http://archive.timesrecordnews.com/news/local/iowa-park-roads-corrected-to-honor-weeth-family-272ea6b7-353d-64f0-e053-0100007f1050-363043571.html Mentioned in the article are Georg Johann Weeth & Maria Margaretha Müller Weeth & Andrew Weeth & Gertrude Kappius Weeth & Nell Marie "Nellie" Weeth Johnson & George "Charles" Weeth & Martha "Mattie" Weeth & Gerry Weeth Trimble.
		Weeth, Andrew (1839-1919) (photo possibly associated with Andrew Weeth of Nebraska) Group photo, taken at the Weth Bakery in Werneck, Germany, between 1950-52, came from Ludwig Kapp: “The five kids in front are visitors from the USA, most probably descendants of the Andrew Weeth branch from Nebraska. They should have been born about 1940-1950.” We would appreciate any help in identifying the individuals in this photo.

Donna Forney Clark:
Concerning Gertrude Kappius' place of birth, I cannot find Peterdorn, Germany. I don't know if Peterdorn is a misspelling or a town that no longer exists.
