l. to r. Gottlieb, John, Peter, Frederick, Gustave, Michael, Jacob, George and Phillip (oldest to youngest)
The nine sons of Gottlieb and Christina (Gienger) Raile were all born in Kansas except for Gottlieb who was born in Russia. Can you imagine the trouble these guys got into? In fact, I have a great story about Jake, Michael and George getting in trouble with the law after chasing a younger boy around with an iron rod. I will condense the court records and post the story at a later time.
By the way, Jake, Michael and George grew up to be outstanding citizens of St. Francis, Kansas.
