Elizabeth Reichls Naber 1846-1926

Interesting that this obit from Find a Grave.com gives us another surname spelling for Gerhard Naber's second wife.  REICHLS would be the German spelling, while Richels is simply the name in English.  Also, look at her bio.  Five children, four step-children...her husband Gerhard had died in 1891, well before they moved to Buckman, so there was no mention of him.

Elizabeth Reichls Naber  was our maternal great grandmother.

Birth: April 2, 1846
Death: August 17, 1926
