Thank you for your reply. I am still searching for information on my great grandfather, Samuel Dale Sherer. We see from the 1900 and 1930 Census' he was born in Iowa. His obit in the Wellington Daily News, Oct 31, 1934, noted he was born in Muscatine, Iowa. The 1900 Census has Samuel, his wife Emma Kiddoo Sherer, and three children, Mary Dale, Vernena Christina and Albert Foote living in Stella Township, Woods Co, Oklahoma Territory. With them was David Roscoe Wells, who later that same year married Mary Dale in Manchester, OK. The 1930 Census has Sam and Emma living back in Chase, Rice Co., KS. where they had married 52 years earlier. Frank Funeral Home, Wellington, KS, record for Sam states his father's name was John Sherer. No info was given for his mother. The 1900 and 1930 Census' show Sam's parents were born in Pennsylvania. Hopefully some of this will also help others who may be researching Sherer families. I would appreciate any Sherer info you or anyone else might have. I can also be reached at slimdoc@wireweb.net.
