The name was legally changed to TERHALL in about 1950. / PUCHALA: Anna PUCHALA came to the United States in about 1897/8 where she married John TORCHALLA. She had a sister Maryanne who settled in Chicago and married a WILK.There were probably three brothers, Andrew, Stanley and Jan.Anna left home in December, 1927 and was never heard from again. The family thinks that she may have gone to Chicago to be with her sister. There was never any contact with the sister's family after Anna's dissaperance.
