Maria Gruhler Rath (1814–1905): From Württemberg to Kentucky and Cincinnati
Maria Gruhler Rath was born in Württemberg, Germany in 1814 and immigrated to America in 1847 with her husband Andreas Rath and their young children. Their journey carried the family from a Lutheran village in the Swabian Alps to a farm in Pendleton County, Kentucky, and eventually to Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.
