    6. [S45] Howard J. Seesler, Genealogical research.
      Howard cites: Missouri VR St. Louis Deaths 1924: #25163; and also the obituary in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 1 SEPT 1924. The obituary Howard refers to may be the death notice for "Franceska Gerber," Philip's mother, who died 31 August 1924, in which she is identified as the mother of the "late Philip A. Gerber."

    7. [S22] Obituary, For Franceska Gerber. From an undated and unidentified [St. Louis?] newspaper clipping in the possession of the Gerber family of St. Louis, Missouri.
      "GERBER - Entered into rest Sunday, Aug. 31, 1924, Franceska Gerber...beloved mother of...the late Philip A. ...Gerber...." Emphasis added. The complete text of the obituary may be found in the notes for Franceska's death.

    8. [S45] Howard J. Seesler, Genealogical research.
      "About 1858, apparently as he was about to set out for the United States, he was married to Franceska Mueller, 27 year old daughter of Michael and Margaret (Muckaborn) Mueller, also of Baden. Franceska was born on July 25, 1831. Some of her Mueller relatives apparently immigrated at the same time as the newlyweds, and also settled in St. Louis....In all, Franceska and George - often familiarly called "Jake" - had six sons. Those, in addition to George L. Gerber [born October 20, 1859], were Otto H. Gerber, born in 1864; Philip Adolph Gerber, born in 1867; Gustav B. Gerber, born in July, 1869 (St. Louis Census 1870:Ward 3:34 [#386]:16-23); Frederick William Gerber, born in 1871, and Rudolph M. Gerber, who was born in 1875 (St. Louis Census 1880:ED 159:15 [#161]:23-29 [2nd])." From page 39 of a genealogical report prepared (by Robert E. Parkin?) for Howard J. Seesler.

    9. [S98] Rudolph Vogt Gerber, Genealogical research.
      In an autobiographical sketch written on Christmas 1978, Rudolph recalls that his grandfather, George Jacob Gerber, married Fancesca Mueller in 1838. This date appears to be a typographical error. Francesca (or Franceska) died in 1924 at the age of 93 (an age at death which Rudolph also mentions in his memoir). These dates would give her a birth year of 1831. It seems unlikely that she would have married in 1838 at the age of 7.
