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:     Here are the descendants of Conrad Lohr that I know about. I'm missing a lot of them, so there is more work to be done.     (1) Conrad LOHR (27 Dec 1825 - 20 Jun 1907) Anne Marie KNEISEL (9 Mar 1827 - 24 Sep 1904)     (2) Katherine LOHR (17 Sep 1846 - 7 Oct 1914) George APEL (22 Mar 1846 - 10 Oct 1898)     (3) Conrad George APEL (20 Jun 1869 - 8 Aug 1937) Sophie Marie Dorothee BÃœCKMANN (19 Nov 1871 - 19 Aug 1964)     (4) Elmer William APEL (3 Oct 1893 - 14 Dec 1970) Katie KLING (22 Sep 1897 - 28 Dec 1993)     (5) Lois Irene APEL (30 Jun 1925 - ) Eugene Edward SELLON (3 Jan 1924 - )     (6) Thomas Craig SELLON (22 Jan 1948 - ) Mary Christine KROEGER (9 Mar 1952 - )     (6) Steven Michael SELLON (12 May 1951 - 23 Feb 1988)     (6) Terri Jean SELLON (18 Oct 1956 - ) James Douglas PATCHEN (25 Oct 1950 - )     (7) Matthew Alan PATCHEN (7 Mar 1992 - )     (7) Erin Elizabeth PATCHEN (22 Jan 1995 - )     (4) Clarence Arthur APEL* (1 Nov 1897 - 1 Jan 1974) Martha M.
