@Gerhardt (George) Epp
My maternal gradfather, Gerhardt Epp, was born and lived in Blumenort, Molotscha, Ukraine. When in his teens, he came to America. He settled first in Beaver County, Turpin, Oklahoma and then to Kansas in the Hutchinson area. He died from a car accident in 1935. My mother, Justina (Epp) Slaughter was one of 7 siblings. She later married my father, Charles Virgil Slaughter in 1935. They eventually moved to Wichita, KS.
