Hi List Could some one do a look up for me? I found the date of marriage for my GG Grand parents,Sanford W. Briddle and Sarah E. Griffith, as 9-16-1855. What I need is permission slips? Ancestry.com doesn't give those just date of marriage! Sarah E. Griffith was born in Clark Co. In., ca, 1835. I have no idea where Sanford W. Briddell was from- some say Maryland? Many thanks in advance. Katie [email protected]

I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Other surnames mentioned in the biography of JOHN MCCULLOUGH are, McCullough, Koons, Watson, Perlee, Siebert, Kepper, JOHN MCCULLOUGH. Men contribute by various services and diversified gifts to the up building of a thriving and populous city some by the foundations of law and municipal order, others give themselves to founding churches and schools, still others open up the avenues of commerce and furnish facilities for the transaction of business. In a thousand different but converging directions they bend their energies, according to some occult law of organization, to the common weal. It was in the wholesale drug business that the late John McCullough added to his city’s prestige and acquired his personal prominence and fortune. From 1900 until his death in 1927 he was identified with the McCullough Drug Company, of which he was head at the time of his demise, and during his career was known as one of the foremost citizens and ablest business men of Lawrenceburg, of which city he had been mayor from 1918 until 1922. Mr. McC! ullough was born at Lawrenceburg, Dearborn County, Indians, in 1875, a son of J. C. and Louise (Koons) McCullough. S. C. McCullough was born in Ohio, where he received his education, was reared to manhood and engaged in the drug business. He moved to Lawrenceburg when still in young manhood, and here continued to be connected with various pharmacies until 1898, in which year he founded and incorporated the McCullough Drug Company, of which he was president at the time of his death. He was prominent in business circles and was a man of influence in public matters, at one time serving as county clerk of Dearborn County. Mr. McCullough married Miss Louise Koons, and they became the parents of four Sons: Edwin C., who married Lillian Watson; John of this review; W. T., who married Jennie Perlee; and Harry William, who married Flora Siebert. The public schools of Lawrenceburg furnished John McCullough with his educational training and after his graduation from high school he se! cured a position as traveling salesman, carrying a general merchandise line through Indiana and adjoining states. In 1900, when the McCullough Drug Company began to assume large proportion, he became associated with his father in that concern, and at the elder man’s death succeeded him in the presidency, remaining in that position until his own demise in 1927. His widow is now president of this large concern, which markets its products wholesale in every state in the Union, and which has ten people in its employ. Mr. McCullough was a man of sound judgment. He was always ready to change and take opportunity it offered. But as his prudence and conservatism were exceptional, his prescience almost infallible and his personal integrity of the highest, there was never the slightest suggestion of fickleness or a lack of persistence in any of his undertakings. Mr. McCullough was a Democrat In politics. Probably it was far from his thoughts to live a political life, much less to become a candidate for the! chief executive office of his city. Nevertheless, after having served capably as a member of the City Council for some years, in 1918 he was elected mayor and acted in that capacity until 1922, his great personal popularity and reputation for probity carrying him triumphantly into the mayoralty chair, It was decidedly a business administration. No paltry consideration of profit to himself controlled him. By introducing system into the city affairs and economy into expenditure, the public credit was kept intact. He was a member of Lawrenceburg Lodge No. 4, A. F. and A. M., and of the Mystic Shrine at Indianapolis, and belonged to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and the Lawrenceburg Kiwanis Club. In 1919, at Lawrenceburg, Mr. McCullough was united in marriage with Miss Celestine Kepper, who was born at Lawrenceburg, a daughter of Charles and Louise Kepper natives of Canada. To this union there was born one daughter: Jean Louise, who is now! attending school. Mrs. McCullough, who became president of the McCull ough Drug Company in February, 1927, is a woman of business ability, and is also a leader in social and club life at Lawrenceburg, where she owns a beautiful home.

Hi Sherri, I saw your reply about having a copy of the Dearborn County Indiana Cemetery Records Vol A. Could I ask, Did you ever see an entry in there for my ggrandfather: John Roehm, from Germany 1852, marr. Mary Scherger in Ohio in 1859, lived Lawrenceville, until his death in Jan 1885? He was a shoe & bootmaker, with a small farm, lived on St Peter Rd, N of Lawrenceville. His son John was propriator of the General Store in Lawrenceville at the turn of the century, until he sold it to his daughter and son-in-law John Schoettlekotte (and Brother Ray)in the 1920's. I tried to get a death cert for John Roehm (d. 1-12-1885) but Dearborn Co couldn't find one. He may have been buried at St. Jacobs in Sunman. I would love to know if he is in your book? or his dau Catherine Roehm (d. 3-13-1885) who died at 14. Any info, no matter how small, you might be willing to share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this. Jim Sheehan [email protected]

I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Other surnames mentioned in the biography of REV. MATTHIAS LORING HAINES, D. D. ARE: Haines, Brower, Putnam, Loring Flames, Kouwenhoven, Higgs, MacDonald REV. MATTHIAS LORING HAINES, D. D. It is much to have rendered nearly a half-century of active service in the vineyard of the Divine Master and in the aiding and uplifting of humankind. Such service stands to the tasting honor of Doctor Haines, who was for thirty-five years pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis and who is still retained by this representative organization in the honorary office of pastor emeritus. It is a special satisfaction to the publishers of this history to incorporate within its pages a tribute to this revered clergyman. Doctor Haines was born at Aurora, Dearborn County, Indiana, May 4, 1850, and is a son of Dr. Abram Brower and Julia Putnam (Loring) flames, his father having long been one of the able and honored physicians and surgeons of the Hoosier State. The public schools afforded Dr. Matthias L. Haines his preliminary education, and in 1871 he was graduated in Wabash College, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, while th! e year 1874 marked his reception of the degree of Master of Arts, from the same institution, which in 1887 conferred upon him also the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. In the year 1874 he was graduated in the Union Theological Seminary of New York and was ordained a clergyman of the Presbyterian Church. In the same year he became pastor of the Reformed Church at Astoria, New York, where he continued his service until 1885, in which year he accepted the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis, a charge that was to be his during the remainder of his active pastorate. There is much of significance in the fact that this now venerable clergyman has in his long career in the ministry held but these two pastoral charges, for this implies that his work has been one of ability and consecrated zeal, that he has given constructive service along both spiritual and temporal lines, and that h! e has not only proved an earnest pulpit orator and efficient executive but has also won and retained secure place in communal love and esteem. Doctor Haines is a trustee of his alma mater, Wabash College, and is a director of Lane Theological Seminary. He served for twenty- five years as president of the Indianapolis Benevolent Society. He is a Republican in political allegiance, is a member of the Loyal Legion, and has membership in the Indianapolis Literary Club and the Columbia Club. Though he has recently (in May, 1931) passed the eighty-first milestone on the journey of life, he retains command of his physical and mental powers, takes lively interest in current events, still is a worker for his fellow men and for the cause of Christ, and in the gracious evening of a long life of worthy service he may well feel that his “lines are cast in pleasant places,” for he remains in a community in which his circle of friends is virtually limited only by that of his many acquaintances. His home is at 1408 North Penns! ylvania Street. On the 7th of May, 1885, was solemnized the marriage of Doctor Haines to Miss Sarah Louise Kouwenhoven, of Steinway, Long Island, New York, she being a representative of one of the Holland Dutch families that made settlement in the Empire State in the Colonial period of American history. Doctor and Mrs. Haines have two daughters: Lydia Rapelye is the wife of William P. Higgs, and they reside in Trumansburg, New York; Julia Loring is the wife of John A. MacDonald, their home being at 1408 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis.

Dear Good Folks; Can anyone tell me where the Reverend Herman Flantz ministered in 1891? I'd appreciate any information you might provide. Sincerely, Jennifer

The name sounds German. As I recall there was a German church at Wright's Corner or somewhere in that vicinity...with an attached cemetery. If you live close to Dearborn Co., you might find church records in the genealogical part of the county library. If not, there might be a microfilm about it at the LDS Church's main Family History Library. You could check through your closest LDS chapel. Each chapel should have a computer linked to the central library. If there is such a film listed, you can either 'rent' it and read it on the local microfilm readers at the chapel for a nominal fee or you can pay slightly more and have a copy of the film sent to the local chapel for permanent storage there. I don't remember whether I found my church records at the county library or at the LDS central library in Salt Lake City. I was searching the Methodist/Episcopal records for my ancestors and reading about them was fascinating. It gave me a real sense of who they were and what they stood for that made me appreciate them much more than if I'd just stuck with wills and probates. I recommend church records for anyone who knows their ancestors were religiously inclined.
