Bremen co-founder Josiah Geiselman, blacksmith, had 10 children, 7 of whom survived to adulthood, with wife Mary (born Ringle). The Geiselman name nevertheless died out in this area after just two generations. But one of Josiah and Mary’s children showed an early aptitude for art and become a stonecutter in Bremen.

There’s no price on that one, but most of the ones that are priced go for a few hundred dollars.
