Perhaps you should post a query on the Benzi County, Michigan message board; if you do so, I urge you to include the time frame during which these people lived.

How very kind of you Glenda ! I hope the picture finds a home. I know that the family was in Chickasaw but unless someone leaves the surname(s) they are researching on our county site - http://iagenweb.org/chickasaw/surnameindex.htm - then it is difficult to find living descendants.

Mike, I am looking for a descendant that is doing research on this family. In a thrift store in Santa Maria, California, I found a photo of Wayland Galusha (or Glucia) Shaffer (or Schaffer) (Born 1860) and his wife Izettie Markle (Born 1867) and their children and I would like to find a descendant that would appreciate this photo. Thanks, Glenda Ferrari

Hello, Does anyone know of any descendants of Wayland Shaffer/Schaffer or his wife Izettie Markle or a family by the surname of Rehorst? I believe that they were living in this area the later part of the 1800 and early part of the 1900s. Thanks, Glenda Ferrari

Hi Glenda ! I'm not sure what you mean by looking for 'descendants.' Living? Or, descendants of these individuals through a census. If you would let us know specifically what you are looking for I would be happy to do some research for you. I did go to the IAGenWeb Chickasaw at - http://iagenweb.org/chickasaw/ . I entered each surname separately into the search box and got seven hits on Markle, including a bio of Izettie's father; two hits on Rehorst; and several on the two different Shaffer's.

Hi, I am trying to find out about Chickasaw Co. around 1900. My West family was in the 1900 Census for Chickasaw. They could not have been there very long, and I am wondering why they were there. I have a Charles West, born in Indiana 1857, moved to Poweshiek Co. about 1884. Married in Poweshiek Co. in 1888. He was still in Poweshiek Co. in 1894. He is in the 1900 Chickasaw Co., Census. His Obit. indicates he moved to Wayne Co., IA. about 1902. I am interested in 1895-1902 Chickasaw Co. I would appreciate your recommendations for sources (especially online resources) for information relating to Chickasaw Co. around 1900, and these associated surnames: Blake, Collins, Dee, Powers, Young, West Sincerely, Cindy in Oregon

As far as Bertha Carpenter - Muttart. I found something one of my distant cousins posted. Her birth was 1864, married 1892 to Angus Muttart in Owen Sound. I talked with another cusin in Mich from her side of the family and she staes her last name when she died was Harger not Harder. This cousin is in her late 80's and would be the only person to know. She also stated she is barried in Inland Township which is in Mich. up near Honor/Benzonia area. That's all I know and all I have been able to find out via the web and via a distant relative.
