    Notes:

    George, or Fred, as he was called, was the son of German immigrants Christian Gahr and his wife, Gottliebe Bartel. His mother's name is listed as Lillian on the 1900 Census, but as Mary on Fred's death certificate. His parents were both born in Prussia, Germany; his father in 1845 and his mother in 1849. Christian was a saloon keeper.

    Fred was born on August 19, 1889 in Trenton, New Jersey. On his death certificate, the year is listed as 1891 and as 1898 on his WWI draft registration. I believe the year on the draft is incorrect, a mistake of the registrar. I believe the 1889 year is correct as that was stated on the 1900 Census, and thus was the closest document to the actual event of his birth.

    Christian and Gottlieb had ten children in all. In the 1900 Census, it states that they had had 10 children, with only 6 still living by June 1, 1900, the day the census was taken. Their children were Herman, Gustav, Bertha, Mamie (probably Mary), Amelia, Emil, Joseph, Henry C and an unknown child.

    When Fred registered for the draft for WWI, he was living in Evanston, Indiana. His occupation is illegible, except it looks like he was a laborer. He is described as being tall and slender with brown eyes and dark hair.

    In about 1920, Fred married Louisa "Lulu" Kreamer. The exact date and place are unknown at this time. The couple had one child that we can find, a daughter, Emily, born on August 21, 1924 in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

    In the 1930 Census, Fred and his family were living at 305 Green Street in Fayetteville, a place they were renting for $35 per month. Fred worked as a salesman for "gentlemen furnishings."

    His wife, Lulu, died in December, 1964. Fred followed her on January 21, 1967. He was buried three days later.
