My great great grandmother was Gladys Welcome Werth Doan. She was born in Ashland, OR. Her father, Louis Werth was from Germany. Louis came to the US with some siblings and his father. The father of Louis was Willam or John Werth. Siblings of Louis Leonard Werth were: Chris Werth, Mathilda Hanna Werth, Fred Werth, William H Werth, Johanne Werth (stayed in Germany), Sophia von Werth, and August Werth. The mother of Louis Werth was Johanna Brackabaum, she stayed in Germany when part of the family immigrated to the US. When she arrived a few years later, her husband had remarried, so she went back to Germany.
The Werths were butchers and ranchers in the Oregon and Northern CA areas. If the names above sound familiar, please contact me at stanleycrafts@aol.com
