Lilly is the grandmother of this contributor's husband.

On the birth records of North Easthope, Perth County, Ontario, Canada her name is spelled Lily Annie. Her father's profession is given as butcher.

Lilly was confirmed April 12, 1903 by Pastor August Deichmann of St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church of Pigeon/Linkville, Huron County, Michigan.

Pastor August Deichmann, of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Pigeon/Linkville, Huron County, Michigan wrote this entry in the church record on the occasion of Fred and Lilly's marriage: On September 1, 1910 the following people were married in this church: Friedrich Johann Gehrke, of Brookfield, Michigan, born April 22, 1885 in Germany at Hammerstein, son of Karl Gehrke and his wife Charlotte, nee Grundemann and Lilly Anna Gerth of Winsor, Michigan, born October 7, 1888 in Canada, daughter of Peter Gerth and his wife Katharina, nee Ruthig. Witnesses to the marriage were Harry Decher, Louise Gerth, Peter Gerth and Bertha Heck.

Fred and Lilly had a daughter Ruth Emma Gehrke, born Nov 24, 1921 in Huron County Michigan who died June 10, 1923 in Wayne County, Michigan.

Family reports Ruth Emma was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Highland Park, Wayne County, Michigan. Her burial place has not been verified and for that reason I am not creating a memorial for her at this time.
