Abraham and Rebecca Ehrlich, nee Raphael, migrated from London England to the United States of America in the year 1860 or 1861 according to the U.S. Census. Their children, Louis, Hanna (called Anna), Esther, Adelaide, Samual and Myer came with them, which can only be assumed, as ship records have not been found nor has the location they first settled into. We do know that their daughter's Sarah and Rachel were born in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee and their son's Henry and Bernard. They are the only Ehrlich family found in Tennessee in the 1870 U .S. Census. The 1871 Nashville City Directory lists Abraham Ehrlich at 108 S. Sumrner, occupation "peddler." They are then found in St. Louis, Missouri for their daughters Silvia's and Julia's birth. By the 1880 U.S. Census they are living in the Windy City of Chicago, Illinois and can be found in the Chicago City Directories until 1891. By 1894 they are in St. Louis, Missouri again which is the year Abraham passed away. They are buried in the United Hebrew Cemetery off Skinker at 7855 Canton Street in University City, Missouri. Their son Bernard and their daughter's Julia and Rachel are there also. The graves are not in one plot, but each in a different row. It is a neat, well kept Cemetery. It was originally named Mount Olive Cemetery and at one time was located on Jefferson Avenue on the edge of the St. Louis City limits. Abraham and Rebecca were married in London, England in 1852. Abraham was born in Germany. His father was Lipman Ehrlich, however he has yet to be found and his mother's name is unknown. Rebecca was born near London in a section called Spitalfields. She lists her father as Raphael Rapheal, however, extensive research shows that she was the daughter of, or step-daughter of, Samual Raphael and Sarah Francs or Franks. Abraham was a tailor and Rebecca was a cap maker like the rest of the Raphael family. Prior to their marriage they were listed in the 1851 London Census (England does their census in the first year of the decade instead of on the zero years) as living at the same address. It's possible that this was a boarding house. Their son, Louis, was born in 1851, but not listed on the census. They apparently had him before they were wed. Rebecca passed away in 1898. Without a doubt they were brave souls to up-root .and come to the land of "Milk and Honey" that was about to be engaged in the Great Civil War.
