OROVADA - Jacob Rueben Goehring was born in Russia. Both he and his future wife Christine's ancestors had escaped Germany to the Ukraine sometime around 1812 due to religious persecution. A century later, with the spread of Communism, there was much unrest in the Ukraine, and many were immigrating to the Americas where they had heard that you could receive free or low-cost land in the vastness of the United States or Canadian West. In 1912, at the age of 14, Jacob and his family sailed to America, barely missing passage on the ill-fated Titanic because of a mix-up. When they safely passed through Ellis Island, they dropped the "o" in Goehring and, following the lead of a cousin, settled in American Falls, Idaho. Eventually Jacob and Christine homesteaded 160 acres, purchased another 160, and began to farm, drilling the first irrigation well in that area. Their grandson Rueben Jacob moved to Murphy, Idaho, in 1967, and their great-grandson Rueben Kiel Gehring, and his wife Lindy (Maynard) both grew up in Melba, Idaho. They, along with their daughters, McDermitt Combined School alumni Neva (Gehring) Noe and her younger sister Roni, moved to Orovada when Rueben took a job as manager of Northrup King Seed Plant.
