Robert's brother Max(amillion) arrived 1 August 1905 from Frankenthal, Germany.
Roberts parents were Johan and Elizabeth (Ziehl) Grefig. Except for Robert and Max, have no info on other children; Franz, Jacob, and Elizabeth** Am told Robert had half brothers and sisters but have no info.
Between 1945-1949 Robert & Pauline owned a farm in Indiana.
They owned a small grocery store in Alsip, IL in 1951 and they lived on Tallman Ave.
In early 1950's in a joint venture with son Max and my dad, James L. Dorris, they bought Stewarts Landing on the Ouachita in Hot Springs, AR. Stewarts Landing was a resort of sort. The main house was half surrounded by cottages. To the left of the house was the building that housed the gas station and grocery and a back apartment where my parents & I lived. There were 2-3 small businesses attached to this building but only remember Murphy's Liquors.
Past the grocery building to the left was a road that led to 3-4 more cottages that overlooked the bait pond, and ended up at the boat dock where bait, tackle, and boat rentals were.

**Elizabeth: Robert's sister or cousin Elizabeth married Philip Lopez and lived in Mexico City. They lived at a refinery plant in the early-mid 1950's. My family & I spent a few days with them on our way home from Central America. Philip had a brother, Jesus, who had a huge beautiful home, complete with it's own upstairs chapel. Somewhere I have photo of Elizabeth and Philip with Philips family.
