Alfred Gehrke... ( was he a native resident to the area, find the obituary, who exactly the man was besides just owner of general store. How did he die ? Picture of Mr. Gehrke and wife perhaps )

His contribution to the neighborhood was providing a convenient store, which was located at the corner of Carrollton Avenue and Colapissa Street, for the residents. In 1893, after opening his store, Gehrke purchased more of the property later on.
