Anna Eva Apel Family History
By Charlett Lundblade

I have an Apel or two in my family tree:

Anna Eva Apel emigrated from Blankenheim, Hesse Kassel, Germany on June 19, 1852 on the ship "Marquess of Quennsbury" in the company of brother George Apel, and Wilhelm and Conrad Lohr. After arriving in New York they all went to Cleveland, Ohio to meet up with Conrad's younger brother, Peter Lohr, who emigrated the year before (1851).

It seems that the Lohr and Apel family liked to "keep it all in the family" back then, as an Apel married a Lohr and a Lohr married an Apel :)

George Apel married a daughter of Conrad Lohr named Katherine Lohr (probably in the late 1860's).

In 1853, Peter Lohr married Anna Eva Apel, by whom he had six children:
            I.) William F. Lohr August 25, 1854 – January 1, 1905
            II.) George C. Lohr August 2, 1856 –
            III.) Charles H. Lohr February 27, 1859 – September 17, 1907
            IV.) Amelia C. Lohr December 12, 1860 – April 20, 1959
            V.) Frank S. Lohr November 13, 1862 –
            VI.) Frederick W. Lohr January 23, 1866 – May 4,1953

    In May, 1856, Peter Lohr and his family moved from Cleveland, Ohio to Osage, Iowa.

    Anna Eva Apel Lohr is buried with Peter Lohr in Mitchell County, Osage, Iowa.

    Here is my family tree:
