COMMENTARY:Re: Dorothy's prior Son:

The following is my understanding concerning Richard Giering as related to me by Richard's half-brother Robert (Bob) Giering (017_066) on our visit on August 15, 1996. Confirmed later by visit to another half-brother, William (017_086)

William Giering, the principal's Father was the second husband of Belle Pitcher. Belle had had a daughter, Dorothea, by her first husband, Mont Kirkpatrick. Dorothea Kirkpatrick subsequently became the wife of this pprincipal, Norman Giering. Prior to that marriage, however, she had a prior son (unknown father) named Richard. By the time Richard was born, Belle was married to William Giering (whether Belle's marriage was annulled or she was divorced or widowed is unknown). William and Belle took Richard in and raised him as their own Son even though he was, in reality, their Grandson.
