I visited Jefferson City for an amazing weekend of meeting new cousins :) One of which was kind enough to show us around the Jeff City area.
While there I purchased a book entitled: A Trip to Charleytown - The German American Community at St. Elizabeth, Missouri 1880-1920, written by Dale C. Doerhoff with Erica A. Doerhoff as Translator.
In the book were several references to the Bax family and even a couple about the Gerlings.
There were also photos! Which is what this post is for, to hold their place.
