Charles Philipp Greulich
Charles Philipp (Karl Philipp) Greulich, son of Georg Philipp and Anna Margaretha (Wurzel) Greulich, was born 13 Sep 1838 in Haag, Baden, Germany. He married twice, first Susanna Wolf, then to her sister Caroline Wolf.
Charles came to to America with his sister, Eva Katharina Greulich, and his half-brother, Georg Philipp Jakob. His passport, dated November 8, 1855 (the year of his father’s death), was issued at Neckargemund for Karl Philipp Greulich and two relatives. Karl changed his name to Charles Philipp Greulich and at age 17 arranged to learn the shoemakers trade from Samuel O. Stauffer who lived on his father’s farm, south of N. Zionsville, PA.

Some of Charles and Caroline Greulich's children and/or spouses
This photo was likely taken circa 1941-1942 in East Greenville, Pennsylvania and includes the living children (and/or spouses) of Charles Philipp and Caroline K. (Wolf) Greulich—assuming, of course, that the identifications are correct.
Men (L-R): John Wieder, Lewis Keller, Elmer Greulich, Albert Sterner, Charles Greulich
Women (L-R): Katherine Jane (Greulich) Wieder, Kate Amanda (Weil) Greulich, Anna E. (Greulich) Keller, Lillian Witmer (Snyder) Greulich, Flora (Greulich) Sterner, Carrie A. (Greulich) Letterhouse, Anna M. (Scholl) Greulich
I’m not sure of the identification. I’ve taken the information from another photograph where Bill Wieder, son of John and Katherine (Greulich) Wieder, kindly identified the occupants. Bill was present at the gathering, so I’m trusting his memory. I, unfortunately, am too young to have ever met any of these family members.
If you’re a family member and can make a positive identification of one of the people in the photo, please let me know.
