Linda, I'm sorry, I was so excited, I forgot to ask if I owe you anything for your time? Jan

Linda, Thank You. Thank You. With so many spellings of Shoemaker??? one never knows. When my Aunt Mary made the tape, even she wasn't sure how it was. I'll start tracking on this ASAP. Bless you for your time and trouble. I always try to help others, but if you need anything from me, please don't hesitate to ask. Again, thank you again. Respectfully and sincerely yours, Jan

Hi Pam, Would you be requesting the obit for a Gene Lewis, Mother to Mickey, Karen, Nancy, Brenda and another son Banks? If so she was a dear friend to my Mother Sarah Sue Cook who passed away in 1987. I called her Aunt Gene as I knew her my entire life. She was there for me when My Mom died. She lived in Grabil, Indiana when she died. If she is the one you are looking for an obit for, I would like one to. I live in Florida and was not told when she died. We found out when my Daughter called to check on her three weeks after she had died. Her Daughter Nancy died several years ago when her son was just 5 years old. She died from cancer. Hope to hear from you soon on this.

I can't wait!!!!! :) Karen > Yes, you should be able to see the names. >

Thanks to one VERY SPEEDY AND HELPFULL subscriber to this list, I'm back with a refinement to my earlier posting on the same subject. What I should have asked for is the current location and name for what most likely would have been the OLD POSTAL RURAL ROUTE #8 in 1914 that the Fort Wayne Postoffice used. Again, thanks a bunch for any further help you may provide. Bill R

Does anyone know the current location and name of Indiana Rural Route #8, from turn-of-the-century times (1914)?? My grandfather Ernst Carl Rietdorf claimed that as his address on his Petition For Naturalization in that year. I have my suspicions as to loc. and name, but I need to verify for the record. Thanks a lot for whatever help you can provide. Bill Rietdorf

Karl, I've been there. I have listed all the past and present churches in Allen Co. on the Allen Co. GenWeb page. In doing the research for this list, I drove all over Allen County looking for churches that were on the 1880 and 1898 Township maps. There was a Methodist Church on the west side of the Auburn Road at the county line. It's was called Mt. Olivet. It was organized in the 1850's and disbanded in 1922. The bell from Mt. Olivet is at Leo United Methodist Church now.

Linda, This DOES help me a lot! I believe "N. Myers" is Nathan Myers -- my ggg-grandfather! When you post the 1880 map, will it show these names? I'm so excited!!!

Tidbit of info! The location of Auburn Rd. at the DeKalb Co. line caught my eye, as I live about a mile from there! The land directly to the east of Old Auburn Rd. is the current location of I-69 at the Co. line. The land you mentioned as 22.75 acres (owned by M.E. Meyers in 1898) is the location of a Power Transfer sub-station for American Electric Power (AEP) which was built a few years ago for a mini steel mill in NE DeKalb Co near Butler, about 20 miles from here. Off the top of my head, I do not remember if there are any buildings at this location. The Old Auburn Road at this location is a dirt road, and is paved as it rounds the corner at the North County Line Road.. Probably a main route at the time, it is considered a "back road" today!

Karen, Enumeration Districts changed with each census. I am not sure if there is any place that tells where a certain ED was. I do have a map of Perry Twp. from the 1880 and 1898 Allen Co. Atlas's. In 1880 there was a N. Myers in the NE corner of section 11, Perry Twp. The Salem Reformed Church was on his land. The land just west of his was owned by S.H. Meyers. There was also a Myers who owned 22.75 acres on the west side of the Auburn Rd. at the DeKalb Co. line. There was another, J. F. Myers who owned 80 acres located in the south west corner of Perry Twp. In 1898 the land owned by N. Myers is now owned by D. Meyers. The land to the west is owned by S. Meyers. The land on the Auburn Rd. at the DeKalb Co. line is owned by M.E. Meyers and the land in the south west corner of Perry Twp. is still owned by J.F. Meyer. Hope this helps. I hope to get the 1898 township maps on the Allen Co. GenWeb page soon.
