Circumstances of Death
Prohibition Agents Levi Trexler and L. C. Felts were patrolling the roadways around Rockingham County, NC, for liquor transporters. They observed a suspicious vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and began a pursuit. The chase continued for many miles and as the government car rounded a curve in the road they lost control, the car went into a spin and overturned.

I'm researching my family's genealogy. On my father's side: Trexler, Phillips, Eagle, Fields
My mother's side: Canup, Shinn, Mcduffie, Hoffner
I have tested with 23andMe and uploaded to MyHeritage and GEDMatch. I've built a family tree on Family Search and Ancestry.
The Trexlers have been traced back to Hesse Germany with Hans Drechsler in the mid 1500s. Peter Trexler came to America in 1709 and they settled in Pennsylvania. My branch of the Trexlers was brought to Rowan North Carolina by Lawrence Trexler, and that is where the family has remained located.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
