Joseph E. Sorg
My great grandfather was named Joseph E. Sorg.He was the president of Millhiser Bag Company in Richmond Virginia in the early 20th century or so.He was born in Richmond VA on August 29, 1863.His father, Peter Sorg, was born in the province of Brest, Germany in 1837.Peter was in the German Army, then later when he came to Richmond, he began the P. Sorg Bakery Company.Peter died in 1912 in Richmond.He married Miss Mollie Rupert, who was also born in Germany.She died in 1910 in Richmond as well.Their children were George, Lizzie, Kate, Joseph E.(my great grandfather), Annie, and William A.Joseph married Carrie Poore, daughter of Peter and Margaret Poore, and had five children: Helen, Grace, William Stuart (my grandfather), Margaret, and Dorothy.
I know that we have family that moved to Missouri, and our last name is spelled SORG, not with an E, and we are somehow related to other Sorgs with the last name spelled the same way.
If anyone knows of any other information, that would be welcome.Thanks.
Elizabeth Howell (nee. Sorg)
