Subject

Gochenour, Herman Keller (1923-2006)
Gochenour, Landon Lee (1913-1986)

Description

Photograph of two brothers: Herman K. (left) and Landon Lee (right) Gochenour. Their parents were William Jonas (1882-1939) and Arbelia (Keller) (1888-1961) Gochenour.

The 1940 census for the Stonewall District found Landon listed as the Head of Household. He lived with his wife, Frances Lee Shank, son, Harold, as well as his widowed mother and brother, Herman. Both brothers worked on the farm.

Herman married Charlotte Catherine (Kibler) (1924-2000) in Woodstock in March 1942. Her parents were Amon Lee Kibler and Beulah Florence Riffey. By 1950, they had a six year old son, Ronald, and Herman worked in the shipping department of a meat packing plant, perhaps his brother's.

Landon was best remembered for owning and operating Woodstock Wholesale Meats and the F&G Supermarket. He and his wife had two sons and three daughters together.
