Well, there are at least a couple of us. I am searching for additional information on the family that adopted my grandmother, Lelah Miller, about 1903 from the Allen County Orphans Home. She was adopted by Louis J. (Jacob, I think) GEISS and Mary Elizabeth CORDELL BROWN GEISS. Louis was the son of Jacob and Julia SCHERER GEISS. Family lore has that Louis was on the board of the Orphans Home. He either managed or owned (again, family lore) the Queen and Alaska Coal Companies in Ft. Wayne. Louis and Mary Elizabeth changed Lelah's birth name to Buena Lucille GEISS. I am interested in other members of the GEISS, CORDELL and SCHERER families. I do know that Louis had one sister, Laura who married John MITCHELL in Ft. Wayne. Julia SCHERER GEISS and Mary Elizabeth CORDELL GEISS are buried under the same headstone with Laura buried right near in Lindenwood Cemetery. Can anyone fill in some gaps in the SCHERER family? In the GEISS family, any additional members being researched? Do any of these names sound familiar to anyone? I am willing to share information.
