jsmith9842 — 14 Nov 2003 11:12:39 GMT

Thanks to a lady in Germany, we now have written proof that George, John, and Peter Fetter of Marion, OH were brothers. George Fetter came to Marion in 1832 and married Elizabeth Keil. John Fetter married Elizabeth Lind in Germany and in 1847 came to Marion with his brother Peter, who married Elizabeth Click. There were four Fetter daughters who also came to America, but we don't know if they came to Marion. Anyone interested in this family, please contact me or Kala Livingston.

Touchy Subject About the VanBuskirk Clan

TamaraLewis228 — 23 Jun 2008 4:33:43 GMT

I'm not even sure how to approach this subject.

My 4th Great Grandfather, Michael Van Buskirk resided in Bowling Green Township, Marion County throughout the 1850's, 60's and 70's. On the 1870 Federal Census. he has a number of his children living with him with the three oldest, his daughters, being listed as "prostitutes" for their occupations. There are also 4 children under the age of 10 living with him listed as his son and daughters but I suspect that isn't true due to his age (74) and theirs. I suspect that they are in fact the offspring of his daughters.

I am very interested in finding out whatever I can about this family.

I believe Michael Van Buskirk died between the years of 1870 and 1880 as there is no record of him being on a census after 1870.

Frederick Dreher...

JulsGo — 31 May 2008 12:57:33 GMT

Hello everyone... I am looking for Fred Dreher...

I am looking for some help... The name is Fred Dreher. He was the son of Philip Dreher (sometimes called Peter) and Magdaline Arbogast Dreher.

In 1860 he was 12 years old living with his parents in Bucks, Tuscarawas County, Ohio.

In 1867, he was one of the people in his grandfather Arbogast's will. The 5 living children of the Dreher's got their mother's part of the will as their mother died in 1864.

He is missing until 1942 when his brother, Lewis DrAher (yes Lewis is the only one that spelled his with an A). In Lewis' obituary it says that his brother, Fred, is still alive and living in Marion County, Ohio.

I started looking there... Found a Fred Dreher in Marion with his wife, children, etc... However this Fred was born in 1856. I finally found this Fred's death cert last night and it is NOT the Fred that I need. This one was the son of Adam Dreher and Mary Hass... GRRRRRRRRRR!!!

I know nothing about MY Fred... Except according to the 1860 census that puts him born in 1848... Which means he would have been 94 when his brother, Lewis, died. Which is quite old but could very well be.

Any help or clues to this man would be greatly appreciated. I am at a total loss. I have looked in the Ohio death index, I have looked for his death cert on familysearchlabs, all the censuses... I am totally stumped!

Thanks,
Juls

Hopkins Family

ladyames_1 — 30 Apr 2008 4:55:27 GMT

I am pursuing a theory that the Lidia Hopkins who married William Anderson in 1805 in Ross Co., OH was the sister of Robert Hopkins (1796-1865), son of John Hopkins who came to that area of Ohio from Delaware in 1797 with his five children, including Robert. Lydia Anderson eventually lived in Wyandot and then Marion Counties (where she died in 1852 and is buried), and her daughter Lydia Anderson Hoffman was my great-great-grandmother. If any Hopkins connections in Marion Co. have any info on this possiblity, I'd love to talk to you. Please use my personal email address - jgaudio@charter.net. Thanks.

Looking for birth & marriage info on John T. Wilson

darlenejaber — 19 Feb 2008 7:02:00 GMT

My ggggrandfather John T. Wilson was born in Pennsylvania about 1807. He lived with his wife Maria (Mariah) Stone in Marion & Coshocton counties Ohio. He may have passed away in Iowa.

Looking for information about McWhorter

BillMawhorter79 — 27 Jan 2008 1:19:36 GMT

Trying to find out information about James Mawhorter/McWhorter b. Jan. 04, 1801 in Washington County, Pennsylvania and d. Oct. 23, 1876 in Noble County, Indiana. Also looking for information about his wife Margaret Mawhorter/McWhorter b. May 02, 1806 in Washington County, Pennsylvania. They were married in Muskigum County, Ohio March 26, 1828.

The info. I have about them so far is where they were born, married, and died. Margaret's maiden name seems to be McWhorter or MeWhorter according to thier marriage record. They were living in Salt Rock township, Marion County, Ohio in 1840 and then in 1845 Wyandot County, Ohio was formed and the portion of Salt Rock township, Marion County, Ohio that James and Margaret lived in became Antrim townshiip, Wyandot County, Ohio where they are listed in the 1850 census as James and Margaret McWherter. My 4rth Great-Grandfather James M. Mawhorter (1833-1897) a son of James and Margaret mentions in his obituary that he came to Noble County, Indiana in 1853 with his parents, about the time they seemed to change the spelling of the name from McWhorter to Mawhorter. I believe the surename name was changed becouse James and Margaret may have been inbred (Relatives of the same surename who married each other). James and Margaret were living in Elkhart township, Noble County, Indiana in the 1860 census.

I don't have access to any Courthouses or libraries in Pennsylvania or Ohio being so far away, so I figured I'd post on message boards.

Specific information I'm looking for is,

1. Where were they between 1829 - 1839 ?

2. Also looking for any information about them in Washington County, Pennsylvania?

3. Where were they in Washington County, Pennsylvania and who were their parent's were?

One assumption about who I think James parent's were is how he named his children. But I'm looking for a recorded document from a courthouse or library to prove it. I think his parent's may have been John McWhorter and Hannah Polly Early.

Here's my assumption why I think John McWhorter and Hannah Polly Early may have been his parent's.

James Mawhorter/McWhorter and Margaret Mawhorter/McWhorter

children
1. Kilborn (first born, named becouse his father John died in 1803 after James was born in 1801.)

2. James M. (named after himself)

3. John (named after James's father John)

4. William (named after James's Grandfather William McWhorter b. 1745 in Bucks County, PA.)

5. Robert (named after James's Great-Grandfather Robert McWhorter b. abt.1700 who married Sarah Johnston)

6. Adeline (?????)

7. Caroline (????)

8. Aaron "also spelled Marion in 1860" (??????)

9. Margaret E. (named after James's wife Margaret)

10. Hannah (named after James's mother Hannah Early Polly)

Just an assumption but so far it's all I have.

Scranton Murder -- 1919

drober05 — 5 Nov 2007 3:54:23 GMT

Hello,

I have spent the past year exhaustively researching the murder of Rose Belle (Baker) Scranton. The murder occurred in Marion on January 29, 1919 and was never solved. My interest in this event is due, in part, to the fact that Rose's husband Clyde Scranton was my grandfather. My research has involved multiple trips to Marion and other communities looking for public records and newspaper accounts and countless hours searching online databases and historic records and email/snail-mail correspondence.

In the past year I have uncovered a wealth of information about this fascinating and in many ways misunderstood piece of Marion history. There were multiple arrests (including my grandfather) and preliminary hearings that were covered throughout the state and beyond. Unfortunately, no trial was ever held. It is unclear why the preliminary hearings resulted in no trial because the newspaper articles at the time seem to indicate a wealth of evidence against the accused. Most tragically, whatever police records existed were apparently destroyed in the 1950's.

The list of individuals involved in the investigation and hearings is quite long and contains many interesting and some suspicious characters.

At this time I have exhausted the sources of information I can think of. If anyone has suggestions on where other sources might exist, please contact me. If you know anything about any of the many "players" listed below, please contact me.

Thank you.

Seibert family fostered my GG-grandmother, Anna Winterhalder

CarlaFrazier27 — 2 Nov 2007 3:08:57 GMT

Hello,
I am researching my Winterhalder line. The name has been spelled various ways, the most common mispelled name is "Winterhalter". The father was Joseph Winterhalder born abt. 1814 in Baden, Germany. Achieved naturalization in Marion Co., OH in 1844. Joseph's second marriage was to Rebecca Sullivan. They had 3 boys, William Wesley, Samuel & Alexander Winterhalder. Joseph's first marriage is unknown & I would like to find her. I think she must have died in Marion Co., Ohio. They had known children, John, Anna (my gg-grandmother), Mary A., and Caroline Winterhalder. They also lived in Defiance, Richland, Crawford, Wyandot, Lorian & Seneca countes in Ohio. After the first wife's death (I presume she died)The children to the first marriage were fostered out & Joseph Winterhalder remarried to Rebecca Sullivan. My gg-grandmother, Anna Winterhalder, was fostered to a John & Sarah Seibert. I know she had a foster brother named Cyrus Seibert. Any information greatly appreciated. Thanks. Carla

Looking for a Winterhalder family

CarlaFrazier27 — 1 Oct 2007 2:19:54 GMT

Hi everyone,
My great-great-grandmother is Anna Winterhalder (born 27 Aug 1841 in Marion Co., Ohio) she married William Noble Hain in Marion County, Ohio in 1860. Anna's father was Joseph Winterhalder that immigated from Germany to the U.S. Anna's mother is unknown except that she was born in Germany. Anna has three other known siblings, Mary (born Mar 1840 in Ohio), John and Caroline (born Sep 1844 in Ohio) Winterhalder. Joseph remarried at one point (she is unknown also, she was born in OH) and had children, William Born Aug 1856 in OH), Alex (born Feb 1860 in OH) and Samuel Winterhalder. There is an marriage record in the Marion Co., Ohio archives between Joseph Winterhalder and a Rebecca Sullivan or Sulivan, dated 11 Nov 1852. I think this is Rebecca's 2nd marriage. I found a marriage record between a Rebecca Essex and a James Sullivan dated 14 Sep 1851 in Marion County.
Hope someone can connect. Thank you. Carla
..Various spellings of the name is: Winterhalter and Winterholder

George Weber & Elizabeth Hinaman

nwygant151 — 26 Aug 2007 10:50:29 GMT

I'm looking for any information about this family, found in the town of Richland in the 1880 census. George was born abt 1852 in Marion; his parents were born in Germany. Their daughter Ella Elizabeth Weber was living with my Weber relatives in upstate New York in 1910 & 1920, listed as a niece & cousin. There are several other Weber families in Richland in 1880, who I assume are probably related, as well as a George Hinaman b. Germany & wife Elizabeth b. Ireland who I think are probably the parents of George Weber's wife. On Ella's death certificate her mother's maiden name was given as Himneinern.

Frederick and his brother, Elijah WELKER were reportedly born in Germany. Frederick was born in 1790 and Elijah was born in 1805. They were both married in Marion County Ohio. Frederick married Phebe Travis on April 26 1835. Elijah was married in 1826 but there is no name of a wife.

I am searching for their history while in Marion County. It appears they went to Pickaway County next and then back north to Auglaize, Van Wert, and Allen Counties. Why the strange immigration pattern? They seemingly bought the land in Auglaize and Van Wert Counties several years before they moved there.

Home on South Seffner

frakon — 28 Jun 2007 1:32:32 GMT

I just visited in Marion June 20th with my 3rd cousin who is actually from Oregon but grew up in Marion. I was given a tour of the places his grandfather, Arnold Sherrer, did the stonework for. Also we saw some of the family homes. It was a whirlwind tour as we only had a few hours there and I missed getting a digital of Arnold's home. I have pictues of St. Mary's and Etowah but would also like one of the home that the family resided at.
I do not know the address only that it's on South Seffner and the Sherrer's lived there in 1910, 1920 and 1930's.
Would there be someone who would could look up the address from a city directory and take a digital and email it to me? Or direct to me to someone who might do that? I live in Michigan and the middle of the mitten and will probably not get back that way any time soon. I'd be willing to help some one if they needed photo's of anything in Alma, Mt.Pleasant or Stanton Mich. Arnold is my grandfather's nephew.
Thanks, Fran

I have a picture of my grandmother, Ella Rowse, c. 1906 that is from a business brochure or may be a newspaper clipping. At the bottom of the photo is my grandmother's name and the word "Stenographer". Under that is what I believe to be the name of the company for which she worked but most of the words are torn off. What is left reads "American Mall........ Co., City ....." Does anyone know of a company doing business in or around Marion c. 1906 beginning with the words "American"? Any help would be appreciated.

Cemetery Look Up

I was wondering if someone could check records for Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Marion Ohio for George J Watson. His wife, Sarah E Watson, was buried there in July of 1910. Her parents are also there, Thomas J and Matilda A Woodmansee. I don't know if they are all together or not. George is my brick wall in this family line. All I have for him is date of birth is about Oct. 1861 and he died sometime before 1920. He was alive in 1910 to sign Sarah's death certificate, but does not appear in 1920 census. Thank you.

Miriam DeWolf/DeWolfe Cunningham b. 1879, d. 1919, Marion Co., OH

judyw0113 — 18 Dec 2006 7:11:12 GMT

The Marion Daily Star, Marion, Ohio, April 12, 1919

After several years illness Mrs. T. M. CUNNINGHAM passed away this morning at 3:15 o’clock at her home, No. 215 Merchant avenue. She suffered from tuberculosis and Mr. CUNNINGHAM sent her and their family to San Diego, California, last June, in the hope that she might regain her health. About the holidays he joined them and they went to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in January, and while there the entire family was taken ill with influenza.

All recovered but Mrs. CUNNINGHAM, who failed rapidly and the family brought her home the last week in February. Since then her condition has been critical.

Mrs. CUNNINGHAM was thirty-nine years of age and was formerly Miss MIRIAM LOIS DeWOLFE. She Was born in this city, June 24, 1879, a daughter of SIMON E. and BELL WEBSTER DeWOLFE. She spent her entire life in Marion and graduated from the High school in the class of 1897. Later she attended the Lake Erie seminary at Painesville and was married to Mr. CUNNINGHAM in this city June 1, 1904.

During her lifetime Mrs. CUNNINGHAM made many warm friendships, for she was well liked. Through her illness and death the family has had the most sincere sympathy of all who knew them, for in her death it takes not only the wife, but the mother from her four young children, MIRIAM MARSHALL, aged fourteen; NEWTON DeWOLF, aged eleven; THEODORE WEBSTER, aged nine, and ELIZABETH, aged four.

With the husband and children survive the parents, who reside on east Center street; the grandmother, Mrs. L. C. WEBSTER, of east Center street, and the brothers and sisters, Mrs. GEORGE B. KNAPP, of this city; Mrs. RODNEY H. REESE, of Washington; DeLOS DeWOLFE of Akron, and BARNEY DeWOLFE, of Marion.

Mrs. CUNNINGHAM had been a member of the First Presbyterian church since childhood and Dr. S. W. STECKEL will conduct the funeral services from the residence, Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The body will be placed in the Marion mausoleum.

Obit: Theodore Marshall Cunningham b. 1869 Allen Co., OH, d. 1943 Marion Co., OH

judyw0113 — 18 Dec 2006 6:59:45 GMT

THEODORE M. “TIM” CUNNINGHAM, 74, died in his sleep at his home here this morning. Death resulted from a heart attack and infirmities of age

Mr. CUNNINGHAM was a partner with H. M. STOWE in Marion’s first plumbing business, coming here in 1889 from Lima to form the firm of Cunningham & Stowe. He was a member of a Y.M.C.A. football team. Also, he gained considerable prominence in his early days as a boxer. He was active in Y.M.C.A. baseball, tennis and volleyball. Up until the last year or two he was a familiar figure on the Y.M.C.A. tennis courts.

Mr. Cunningham was active in Marion music circles, having been a member of the old Grand Opera house orchestra, later the Marion civic orchestra and at one time the Mansfield Symphony orchestra. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church, a charter member of the Knights of Pythias and honorary member of the Marion Elks Lodge, Lodge No. 70 F. &. A. M. and the Tallywag club.

THEODORE MARSHALL CUNNINGHAM was born March 8, 1869, in Lima to JOHN NEWTON and LAURA MARSHALL CUNNINGHAM. He was married June 1, 1904, in Marion to MARIAM DeWOLFE, who died April 12, 1919.

Surviving are two sons, Cpl. NEWTON D. CUNNINGHAM, who is stationed with the Army overseas, THEODORE W. CUNNINGHAM, of Lakewood, and one daughter, Mrs. MARIAM CHENEY at home. One daughter, Elizabeth preceded her father in death.

Funeral services will be held Monday at 2:30 p.m. in the First Presbyterian church with Rev. H. L. OLEWILER, pastor, and Rev. DONALD MITCHELL of Cincinnati officiating. Burial will be made in the Marion cemetery.

Uncles Charles Schultz
Aunt Jessie Schultz
Harold and Hazel, children

I found a biography for Charles on-line at http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Marion/History1907/MHS.htm

CHARLES J. SCHULTZ, who conducts the largest general merchandise store at Morral, was born in Scott Town, Montgomery township, Marion County, Ohio, October 17, 1864, and is a son of Jacob and Catherine (Rhine) Schultz.

Schultz passed his boyhood days in Scott Town and attended the schools there until 19 years old, when he went to La Rue and entered the employ of the mercantile house of Knapp & Schultz, the junior member of this firm being his older brother. For over four years he continued there, but in the fall of 1899 he came to Morral and opened a general store, in partnership with his brother, under the firm name of F. J. & C. J. Schultz. They continued in this business until May 23, 1898, when Charles J. Schultz bought out F. J. Schultz interest, and since that time the business has been solely under his management. He has the largest and the oldest store at Morral.

Mr. Schultz was married during his last year's residence in La Rue, October 17, 1888, on his 24th birthday, to Jessie E. Handchey, who is a daughter of Henry and Elmira (Haner) Handchy. Two children have been born to this union: Hazel D. and Harrold C., the former of whom is an attendant of the Morral High School, class of 1907. Mr. Schultz is a member of the School Board.

I have not been able to contact him to thank him for all he done for me as a kid.

What I know,

He worked for Underwriters Insurance --- Now out of business so no contacts
He was a Big Brother --- Contacted them and they do not keep records from then ( Years 1974-79)
I have tried people search only to contact other C Wonsetlers who do not know of him.
Big time Golfer and played on a golf scholarship to one of the colleges in Central Ohio. I always thought it was OSU but they have no record of him there.

If I ran a family tree on Wonsetler would I be able to locate him via this tool?

Thanks in advance,
