John Kritzer 1840 census Summit County, Ohio

William Brackett — 8 May 2006 1:52:22 GMT

On 27 Jan 1831 John Kritzer married Elizabeth Raver in Stark County. In 1840 there is a John Kritzer family living in Green Towhsip of Summit County which fits the profile of this marriaed couple. I believe this is the John and Elizabeth Critzer I find in Berrein County, Michigan as early as 1842. There were also Raber/Raver familes here at that time. I would like to contact anyone working on this family. .

Death Records/Obit look up

JoyceNelson72 — 6 Jul 2008 9:38:35 GMT

Am looking for a death record of Alice Outten Shield Martell.
She was born in VA 1868. First husband was Leroy Asa Shield he died in VA. She relocated to Akron OH & appears on the 1920 Ohio Census married to Euclid Martell. I am quite sure she lived until at least the late 1940's.
Is there a web address for the state of Ohio statistics for birth marriages & deaths? I do know Missouri has an excellent one free on line!
Thank you!

Presume his sister Esther married Michael Cover on 21 May 1840 by Rev. Daniel M. Conant. 1840 census is a Mrs. Martin and daughter. Alexander is too young to have a daughter Esther of marrying age in 1840.
Michael and Esther Cover's daughter Mary married Perry Evans on 15 October 1865 then Thomas Sterrett on 27 October 1879. The Evans had two children Clarence (broken link) then Esther who married Frank J. Baysinger on 4 October 1893 in Sharon, Medina County, Ohio. Mary Evans Sterrett died on 12 May 1925 in Medina County, Ohio, Frank J. Baysinger d. 23 November 1926, Esther Baysinger d. 19 November 1959...all in Medina County, Ohio.

census maps

Hello, I am look for census maps for the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census. What I need to find out is if certain streets fell in Barberton, Norton Twp, Coventry Twp, Kenmore or Akron in those years. Even better would be to have the census precincts listed on them.

If these types of maps are not available, is there an on line searchable index for streets (instead of surnames) for the census years listed above?

Biography - JOHN E. GOUL (1857-1927), Hudson, Summit Co., OH; Trowbridge, Allegan Co. & Sand Lake, Kent Co., MI

MichaelCronk28 — 18 Jun 2008 5:27:22 GMT

J. E. GOUL, a leading lumberman of Northern Kent, was born in HUDSON, SUMMIT CO., OHIO, Jan. 23, 1857. His parents, John and Catharine Goul, were natives of Germany. They removed to Allegan Co., Mich., in 1858. Mr. Goul was reared on a farm, and was educated in the Allegan High School. In May, 1873, he came to Sand Lake and clerked in a grocery store two years, and subsequently engaged in manufacturing shingles, which he still follows. He owns a shingle-mill in Solon, and is one of the old business men of Sand Lake. He was married Oct. 20, 1880, to Miss Georgia CRABB, daughter of George W. and Anna L. Crabb, born in Jennings Co, Ind., Nov. -, 1861. Mr. G. is a member of the I. 0. of 0. F., and is a Democrat, He is now President of the village, and has served as member of the Council two years.

HISTORY OF KENT COUNTY, MICHIGAN (1881), Chas. C. Chapman & Co., Chicago, Pg. 1261

****************

JOHN E. GOUL, the most prominent business man of Sand Lake, Nelson township, KENT COUNTY, Mich., is a native of SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO, and was born January 23, 1857, the eldest of three children that constituted the family of John and Catherine (KEYES) GOUL, and of these three one son, Charles A., is a farmer of Allegan county, Mich.; one is deceased, and John E. is virtually the head of the family, as far as seniority of years is concerned, both parents being deceased. John Goul, the father of the subject, was born in Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, in 1826, and was a cooper by trade. He came to America at the age of twenty-one years and lived in Ohio until 1858, and was there engaged in farming until his coming to MICHIGAN in the year last mentioned. In Trowbridge, Allegan county, he purchased a farm, and on this he passed away in 1883, a member of the Lutheran church, and greatly respected as a man and a citizen. Politically he was strongly democratic, but was never an office seeker. His wife was a native of Wurtemberg, Germany, was born in 1824 and died in 1887, also in the faith of the Lutheran church. John E. Goul was a mere babe when brought to MICHIGAN by his parents, and until sixteen years of age attended school in Allegan county, although much of his present advanced knowledge was gained through self inculcation. His business life was begun, at the age of nineteen, in the manufacture of lumber and shingles at Sand Lake at a time when twenty-five lumber and shingle mills were operated at or near that place, but later had some experience in conducting a general store-carrying a stock of dry goods, groceries and the various other commodities usually suited to country trade. In January,1876, he commenced mercantile business in Sand Lake, and this, but not altogether exclusively, has been his home. In 1881, he erected a shingle and lumber plant in Ensley township, Newaygo county, which he controlled until 1882, but did not relinquish his business interests in Sand Lake. In 1889 he erected in this town his present mill for the manufacture of lumber and shingles. He handled the product of other mills as well as his own, and from 1875 to 1880 assisted materially in clearing up this section. In the spring of 1891 he manifested another degree of enterprise by forming a partnership with James H. Brayman in the grain and feed business and the erection of a grain elevator at the cost of $2,500. From this elevator grain and feed are shipped north and to points in the extreme east, and although the firm commenced with handling ten or eleven cars per annum only, it now handles at least 100 cars. This elevator is the best on the G. R. & I. R. R., north of the city of Grand Rapids, and the fair and square dealinig of Mr. Goul and his partner have gained for it the extensive volume of trade it is now favored with. Beside owning their elevator, Messrs. Goul & Brayman are the possessors of sixty-five acres of land just north across the boundary line between Kent and Montcalm counties, and this land is made subservient to the interests of the firm. Mr. Goul was united in marriage, October 20, 1880, with Miss Georgia CRABBE, a native of Jennings county, Ind., born November 28, I861, and a daughter of George W. and Anna L. (WEEKS) CRABBE, residents of Sand Lake, the result of this marriage being one son George E. Thay also reared two girls, Lena and Iva CULLOM, who remained in the family from childhood to maturity. As a democrat, Mr. Goul cast his first presidential vote for Winfield Scott Hancock in I880, and since then has been favored by his party by election to various official positions. For nine years he has served as a member of the town council of Sand Lake, and for seventeen consecutive years he has been connected with the public school board. He has also served two terms consecutively as supervisor of Nelson township (although the township gives about 200 majority for the republicans as a rule), and was chairman of that body one year. At the memorable deadlock in October, 1899, regarding the apportionment of enumertion between city and country, Mr. Goul led the fight, and after twenty days won a victory by securing a less percentage to the township. In 1898 he was nominated for representative from the third legislative district in the state assembly, and made a very close run. Several times he has represented his party in county and state conventions, and it would be only a waste of words to further demonstrate the popularity which his genial disposition and unswerving integrity have won for him. Fraternally, he is a member of Cedar Springs lodge, F. & A. M., and but few persons in Sand Lake stand higher in the esteem of the public than John E. Goul.

Durnan - Akron, Ohio

cts166 — 23 May 2008 11:43:40 GMT

Hi.

I am trying to locate relatives of Mr.Peter Durnan and his wife Mrs. Annie Callahan Durnan. Towards the ends of their lives, they lived at 275 Goodview St.in Akron. In the late 1930's they lived at 299 Sobul Ave. They relocated from Philadelphia to Akron, about 1920.

Peter Durnan, b. 23 Sep 1894 in Philadelphia to Edward and Mary Durnan. Peter had a number of brothers and sisters, including, John, Mary, Rose, Edward, Thomas and Francis. Peter Durnan died in Akron 22 Jan 1979.

Annie Callahan b. abt. 1896 in Philadelphia to Owen and Hannah McCarthy Callahan. Annie died in Akron, 16 Aug 1973, at the age of 77.

Annie's father lived with them in the late 30's. His obituary mentions one grandchild (no sex given). I also cannot find their 1930 entry in the Census, which might give the child's name. That child was not mentioned by name in either Annie or Peter's obituary. I am guessing there may have been only one child as Owen Callahan died in 1937 and the likelihood that Annie had another child in her 40's was probably not high.

If you recognize this family, I'd love to talk with you.

I am working on the Harrington family in Summit County that lived in Tallmadge Township in 1819 and in Northampton Township in 1820 according to tax records, which was Portage County at that time.

Help! Suicide in 1930's in Akron Park

OrgieK — 29 Mar 2008 4:15:40 GMT

My Mom has been troubled for years about a vivid memory she has of two nuns jumping over a ledge or gorge in a park off Grant Street in Akron. She was about five or six (maybe 1935 or 1936) when she and he little sister approached two nuns standing on the ledge. As Mom and my aunt neared, the nuns jumped. She remembers running with her screaming sister away but nothing afterwards. Both girls remember the incident, but want to know if it really happened and what happened. It troubles them to this day. Can anyone tell us if this did happen?

Researching 1840s farmhouse in Norton, OH

cshoffman21 — 17 Mar 2008 12:30:56 GMT

Hi all ... I'm new to the forum. Nice to meet you!

I'm a rookie at this, but am working on a project to get my in-law's 1840 Norton, OH farmhouse a century home plaque. We also live on a parcel of the same farmland.

I know quite a bit about the house and some about the previous owners. I'd like to find out about who built it, though ... I have a 1874 Summit County Atlas map with an owners name on what I am 99.9% sure is our land.

Any advice or direction would be much much much appreciated.

Warmest regards,

He leaves besides his wife, a daughter, Mrs. Alice Abraham of Alamo and four sons, George of Alamo, Franklin of Kansas, Charles of Bradley and Bird of Oklahoma.

I would also like her marriage license to Aaron Bidykoffer who she was married to when she died at the age of 28 on April 27, 1919. I have a picture of her as Mattie Davis, so possibly she was married to a man named Davis between Mr. Viers and Mr. Bidykoffer. She lived at 271 Union Street in Cuyahoga Falls when she died.

Mattie's daughter Viola May Viers was married to Victor Limric when she died at the age of 24 on 4 January 1933 and they lived in Springfield, Summit County, Ohio. I suspect she married between 1924 and 1933. She died from complications of a miscarriage. This is probably asking a lot but I wish to find her marriage license too in the hopes that I can find family to provide them copies of Mattie and Viola that we just found in my mother's closet. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
