Title: Story of John Shreckengost gunsmith born 1776
Post by: Shreckmeister on August 03, 2011, 09:28:08 PM

Here is the story of John Shreckengost and his son.  John was father of William G. Shreckengost (prolific maker).  Worth saving and opening in a program you can enlarge it with such as microsoft paint or windows picture viewer.  I couldn't figure out how to get it bigger on ALR.

Robb,
Pretty timley post. In yesterday's obituaries there was a Schreckengost that passed away. Don't know if you have any relatives over here in central Ohio but it was in the Columbus Dispatch.
