I had emailed him trying to find out about samuel Wheeler, my gr gr grandfather. I was hoping he would have a CW picture of him. on ancestry.com and other places on the internet it looks like mary ann wasnt married when she had her first child, Ellen Miranda b. 1851. then she married david andrew lot shaw on 3 Jul 1853 in Versailles, Ripley co and had four children, oscar, mahala, john and thomas. somewhere I found he died maybe in sioux city IA on 24 Dec 1862 maybe in the CW? dont know but then she m charles Lowe on 9 Sep 1864 sorry i dont have what county, but probably dearborn or ripley and had three children, elizabeth, john and andrew. I dont have a death date for charles lowe. but she married my gr gr grandfather on the 18 Oct 1875, the same day Samuel's divorce from his second wife , Elizabeth Holcomb became final. Samuels first wife, Eliza ann tyier died about 1851 and then he marr! ied elizabeth holcomb. I think the parents of mary ann beall were john and mary ann noel beall and they were married in butler co OH in 16 Jan 1828. I think mary ann had at least a sister, who was with mary ann shown to have been taken off the church rolls at a church in elrod and found at the ripley co historical society. sorry i dont remember her name, but I have the zerox copy in my files.... let me know if you would like a copy of the picture

My ggg was married to Mary Ann Beall in 1864 in Dearborn Co., Indiana. I can find where Samuel was buried and Mary Ann, but nothing on Charles Lowe. We know Charles Lowe died somewhere between 1867 and 1870, because the census shows Mary Ann Beall to be a widow. We have tried to call places that might have a death cert., wed. cert., or something. Where do I look next. Someone somewhere has to know something. We don't even know if he had a middle name. Thank you for your time. Janet

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: Surnames in this biography are: Bentz, Wilhelm, Holtz, Baden, Pfalsgraff, Thiel, Poppel, MICHAEL BENZ, JR. One of the old-established and reliable business houses of Ripley County is that conducted under the firm style of Benz Company, Inc., at Batesville. This meat packing business was founded about 1891, by Michael Benz, Sr., and is now carried on by the founder’s sons, the eldest of whom is Michael Benz, Jr., who acts in the capacity of general manager. Mr. Benz was brought up in the business, with every detail of which he is thoroughly familiar. Under his capable management the enterprise has grown and developed to large and important proportions, and its products find a ready market over a wide expanse of territory. Mr. Benz is serving his third term in the capacity of president of the Chamber of Commerce, and is also one of the most prominent members of the Knights of Columbus in the state. Michael Benz, Jr., was born at New Alsace, Dearborn County, Indiana, in 1883, and is a son of Michael and Mary (Wilhelm) Benz. His grandfather, ! also named Michael Benz, was born in Germany, and came to the United States in young manhood, settling at New Alsace during the early ‘40s. He married Elizabeth Holtz, the daughter of a meat market owner, who was a son of a meat packer of Erlach, Baden, Germany. Michael Benz, Sr., was born at New Alsace, where he was widely and favorably known as a meat merchant for many years. About 1891 he founded the present business, with a small amount of equipment, and subsequently bought out John Pfalsgraff, whose plant he rebuilt, this being located on the outskirts of Batesville, with a store in the village. He continued to be identified with the business until 1921, in June of which year it was taken over by his sons, Michael, Joe, Leo and Hugo. Mr. Benz was a man of the highest character and reputation and was held in universal confidence and esteem. He was prominent in Democratic politics, and at one time served as a member of the board of trustees of the county. Mr. Benz! married Mary Wilhelm, and to this union there were born: Michael, of this review; Joseph, who sold his interest in the business of 1926; Leo, who married Adeline Thiel, of Batesville, and has two children, Virginia and Leo, Jr.; Hugo, who is unmarried; and Martha, deceased. Michael Benz, Jr., attended the Batesville schools until he was eighteen years of age, at which time he became associated with his father in the meat business. In June, 1921, the four brothers assumed control of the business and incorporated it as the Benz Company, Inc., with Michael Benz, Jr., as general manager. At that time they built a modern plant, consisting of four commodious brick buildings, with the latest modern machinery, and at present the company has one of the few modern rendering plants in the state. Michael Benz, Jr., is one of the leading businessmen of Batesville, and is serving his third term as president of the Chamber of Commerce, being also an active member of the Business ! Men’s Club. He is prominent in the Knights of Columbus, of which he was grand knight from 1914 to 1918, and state district deputy from 1918 until 1923. He is also an active member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. He was active in the Liberty Loan drives during the World war, and a member of the building committee of the Memorial Building, and he and the other members of the family are life members of the American Red Cross. Hugo Benz enlisted in the navy before the entrance of the United States into the war, and saw service on the U. S. Battleship Nevada, while Leo Benz enlisted in the army at the first call for troops, and after training at Camp Taylor saw eleven months of overseas service. Michael Benz married Miss Agnes Poppel, a native of Germany, and they are the parents of one daughter, Martha, who is attending school. The beautiful family home is situated at Walnut Hills, a suburb of Batesville.

hello i'm new to your list as i have just found a relative in Dearborn county in the 1920 census. this family has been very illusive and i'm sure you all have one or more of those! in the 1910 cenus i found the following in York twp: Susie E Smith, head, age 60, single, born IN, father OH, mother England, farmer on home farm Melissa Smith, sister, age 73, single, ditto Sophia Smith, sister, age 67, single, ditto Minor Powell, servent, age 28, single, born IN, father KY, mother KY, farm hand/general labor Duffield Bowman, boarder, age 14, single, born TN, father TN, mother TN i believe Duffield Bowman is the son of Samuel Duffield Bowman and Lizzie Lott. Samuel and Lizzie were married 1904 in Marion co. i found Lizzie Bowman in 1910 census with son Duffield age 5 and daughter Mildred age 6 months in Marion county. can not find Mildred or Lizzie in 1920, i believe it is possible Samuel died between 1910 (I did find him in 1910 in hospital in marion co) and 1920 so she could have remarried, i do not find her or Mildred in the 1920 census and none of them come up in 1930. if anyone knows anything of this child Duffield Bowman living with the Smith sisters i would be very grateful, thanks. karen in CA
