From Lorch on the banks of the Rhine River in the Dukedom of Nassau to the prairies of Kansas in the United States, this is a history of one of the early families that settled in Wea Township in Miami County, Kansas.
The town of Lorch is located on the east bank of the Rhine River, due west of Wiesbaden, Germany. It is approximately 43 kilometers southwest of the Camberg/ Oberselters where the Vohs brothers of Wea, Kansas were born. In 1994 the town of Oberselters is in the state of Hesse, located to the west of Frankfort and north of Camberg in Germany.
The translation of the word oberselters from german to english is upper springs, a reference to the mineral springs which are found there. During a visit to Oberselters, Germany, in April 1994, Brian J. Vohs found that the waters were still being bottled for sale.
