Mike,
The Willrich boys you mentioned in the book are the brothers of my Mary Fredricka Willrich. Their parents were Charles Willrich and Maria Rhodes of Pommern, Prussia.I have been in the old Willrich House and live in Yuba Co. CA one county over from Butte Co., CA.The Centerville Cem. is on land given to the town by the Willrichs.Mary Fredricka Willrich first married John Kleppel and when he died she married Charles Gotlob Lieberich Boehme.Mary and Charles Boehme were my great grandparents.Are you located in Butte Co?The story goes that the Willrich's came to California 1854 and liked it so well they wrote to their Cousins the Hintz's who then came over and settled in Centerville, Butte Co., CA.I haven't found out whether Charles Willrich or Mary Rhodes was the cousin to the Hintz family.Do you know?Please contact me at [email protected] are cousins of some sort.
