Our Somers Family Heritage

Larry Freeman Buhler was the 5th child and 3rd son of Clarence and Daisy (Somers) Buhler ; and the husband of Linda (Davis) Buhler. Larry was tragically killed in a car accident in July of 1996 at the young age of 42 years. Linda and Larry Buhler - 1985 Larry is remembered as being a gentleman with a kind heart and a noble spirit. Larry was also an outdoors man and his wife Linda shared these photos of him taken after squirrel hunting. Our Grandpa Somers was also an avid squirrel hunter and I have memories of him rising early to hunt when I was a child visiting. May the good Lord bless Larry's memory. In Lord Jesus Name, I pray, amen. Source: Find-a-Grave

Carl "Joey" Buhler  (April 1, 1956 - March 1, 1996) Carl Joey Buhler was the youngest child of Clarence and Daisy (Somers) Buhler.

Joey was a terrible flirt with the girls - which was part of his charm. He had a sweet enduring quality that I still remember to this day. I also remember that as young teens he wrote me a couple of love letters which my mother intercepted. She chalked it up to "puppy love," but she also kept her antennae up when it came to her nephew and daughter. Joey and Darla Buhler Joey eventually met a beautiful young woman, Darla, whom he fell head over heels in love with and married. They had one child together - a daughter, Malisa.

As recorded in the Somers Family Bible by Lillian (Weaver) Somers: Daisy Ellen was the third child of William Henry and Lillian Mae Somers, preceded by Cotna Lenoa  (10.18.1920 - 11.17.1920) and Mamie Irene (10.30.1921 - 2.14.2011). Clarence and Daisy Buhler Daisy Somers married Clarence Buhler on August 31, 1940. They had 7 children: Elsie Mae, Clarence, Jimmy, Paulette, Larry, Henry and Joey. Daisy Ellen went to be with the Lord on November 14, 1987 at 64 years of age. She was much loved by her family and is remembered as a godly woman and devout Christian. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth th
