GEORGE GEBHARTT, farmer; P.O. Chandlerville; was born in 
France, now Germany, Jan. 3, 1828; is the fourth child of a 
family of eight children, born to Andrew and Katerine 
(Derr) Gebhartt, natives of Germany. Andrew Gebhartt was a 
tailor by trade, and died in Germany. Our subject was 
educated in the common schools of Germany, learning both 
the French and German languages, and remained with his 
parents engaged in farming until 1854, when he emigrated to 
America. He landed at New Orleans, thence came to 
Beardstown, this county, and immediately obtained 
employment on the farm of Gottleib Nollich, with whom he 
remained about two years. He then bought eighty acres of 
land, which he increased, till he now has 236 acres, after 
dividing 160 acres in Christian County, among his boys; he 
has on his farm a good residence and outbuildings. In this 
county, in 1857, he married Elizabeth Derr, a native of 
Germany, who has borne him eight children, six of whom are 
living, viz.: George W., John H., Amey, Franklin, 
Elizabeth, and Frederick William. Himself and wife have 
been members of the German Methodist church for twenty-
seven years; he is a Republican.
