PER* HAS
CARRIED OUT
AN OLD 1SH
GREENSBURG, Pa,y April 1,—-Gen
eral John J. Pershing fulfilled the
wish of an ancestor that a member of
the Pershing family should save Al
sace-Lorraine, when he led the vic
torious American armies against the
Germans. This facf, is disclosed by
the Reverend Justus N. Pershing, a
cousin of General Pershing, who has
made public a letter written in Alsace
Lorraine more than 200 years ago by
Frederick Pershing, General Persh
ing’s great-great grandfather. In this
letter the general’s ancestor expressed
the hope that his son, Frederick Per
shing Jr., or his descendants, “would
come back some day and redeem the
fair lands of Alseec-Lorriune from
oppression.
According to the letter, the Persh
ings lived in the village of Kelie, in
Alsace-Lorraine, in 1744, and fought
under Emperor Charles against the
Magyars. Soon after that, when a
law was passed that all able-bodied
men between the ages of 16 and 50
must join the landwehr to protect
their country from ravages by the
Austrians, Frederick Pershing Jr. sent
hia son to America. Frederick Persh
ing Jr. reached this country in 1749
and after marrying a Miss Wy*Ar*tn
Baltimore, settled in Westmoreland
county, Pennsylvania, where General
Pershing’s grandparents were born.
