John Presley Gerber and Mary Elizabeth Schlechty

Sometime after the birth of her daughter, Josie, Mary Elizabeth married John
Presley Gerber. They had at least one other child, a son named Otho.
This is all I know about this line presently. When I was growing up dad would
always take us to the Schlechty Reunion in Indiana. It was alway great fun,
but as a kid it was just a chance to play with my cousins, and I didn't pay
much attention to how we were related.
