Johann August Reinhold Bach (1835-1914), a distant relative of J. S. Bach, is believed to have immigrated to America with his family in 1848.
He and his daughter were on board the Empress of Ireland, “Canada’s Titanic,” when it sank in the St. Lawrence River after colliding with a Norwegian vessel in May 1914. Johann August Reinhold Bach perished in this disaster; his daughter survived.
