I believe that you may have some incorrect information and the wrong dates for Hiram Messner who was married to Minnie Mae Messner (Grow). His dob and dod is 1874-1949. His sons are Hiram Messner (b 1899-d 1875) who was married to my Aunt, Bessie Rusbatch. Daniel C. Messner married to Sara Irene Messner (Minnich) is the brother of Hiram Messner married to Bessie Rusbatch. Daniel David Messner (born 1834) was married to Elizabeth Buffington. See 1900 Census which is one of the records I have used. Feel free to email me at
