First meeting of Clarissa Henthorn and Robert Kocher

Clarissa Henthorn and her family were on their way to church on a Sunday morning traveling, of course, by horse and buggy.  Her father stopped the buggy when he noticed a horse standing on the side of the road, a man was in the ditch with one foot still in the stirrup.  He was drunk.  That was my great-grandfather, Robert Kocher.  The family helped him back on his saddle and that was Clarissa and Robert s first meeting.
