J. Gebhardt, Well-Known German-American Turner, Dies at the Age of Sixty-Two.

Abendpost, Nov. 2, 1926

Death has overtaken a German-American, of old stock, a well-known Turner. A heart attack ended the life of Jacob Gebhardt, yesterday afternoon. His home is at 4945 Bernice Avenue. The news of his death caused sincere regrets in local Turner circles, because he was one of the most faithful members. Only last Saturday he participated at a meeting of the Turner's camp executive committee. Jacob Gebhardt was a speaker of the Turner Society, Vorwarts, a member of the board of the Illinois Turner's district and the camp executive committee. He was 62 years old. He leaves his wife, Amelia Gebhardt, nee Warning, two children, Fred and Margaret Gebhardt, and a number of other relations.
