Looking for any information about the AHRWEILERs of Oskaloosa and Mahaska County, IA: Charles AHRWEILER, Sr., son of Carl Herman AHRWEILER, grandson of August AHRWEILER. Charles' wife was Marjorie E. FRITZ, youngest daughter of George A. FRITZ. Charles' mother was Anna K. GEGNER, daughter of John W. GEGNER. The Ahrweilers were Mahaska County coal mine operators up until about 1930. Thereafter, Charles was involved in many enterprises, including a number of farms, a grocery store, and later a successful real estate and insurance brokerage. His home and office was at 215 A. Avenue East, at the present location of a pizza shop. Charles' son, Charles Jr., was a 1950 graduate of Osky High and worked for Iowa Power and Light. All of the above named persons are now deceased. Any and all anecdotes or other small bits of information from anyone who knew the Ahrweilers or anything about them will be welcome. [email address updated June 2000.
