I am researching YEAGLEY's. Thought I would share this obit. The YEAGLEY's lived in Newville, DeKalb County, Indiana 1860. - Karen William Brown Yeagley William Brown, son of Andrew and Catherine Yeagley, was born in Fayette county, Pa., November 15, 1833, being the fourth in a family of nine children. Departed this life February 19, 1915, aged 81 years, three months and four days. His parents removed from Crawford to Williams county, Ohio, early in the 50's. He was united in marriage to Margaret Ann Hendershot November 29, 1854 and to this union of over 60 years duration, were born six children, two boys and four girls, one little girl, Ida, entering the spirit life at the age of 16 months and one son A. P. Yeagley was called away in April 1913. In August 1862 at the age of 31 years our subject enlisted in Co. H 88th I. V. I. being promoted to Sergeant in 1863. With his command he took part in the following battles: Ringgold, Qesaca, Altona, Mt. Kenesaw, Mt. Lookout, Mt. Atlanta, Chicamauga, Savannah and Bentonville, besides several light skirmishes. He marched with Sherman to the Sea and named his youngest son, who was born in 1863, for his beloved General. His Regiment was 100 days under fire at the battle of Atlanta and always on the firing line. From a letter written by his mess-mate Dan D. Diehl of Butler, Ind., by his old Captain, Dexter L. Thomas of Omaha, Neb., thes words were read at the funeral: "Of William Yeagley I have to say, he was a brave soldier and a true friend when a battle came on Bill went with it with a look on his face which seemed to say, "Come on boys, let's get at 'em". It was in the same spirit he met and fought all life's battles. After the last decisive battle of the Rebellion was fought at Bentonville he was discharged at Goldsboro, N. C., from where he came home at once, thus missing what he never ceased to regret, the Grand Review at Washington, D. C. After this he remained three years near Newville, DeKalb county, Ind., when he bought his first farm in Defiance county upon which he made his home until March 1883, when he came to Farmer, living continuously in the house in which he breathed his last, except for two years on the old Hendershot farm. He was a charter member of the G. A. R. and Quartermaster at the time of his death. Hearing the command of the Great Commander to Shoulder Arms! March! he obeyed as a faithful soldier, and gone on ahead; leaving to follow him, when our call of Taps is sounded - his wife, 3 daughters and one son. Besides these are left to mourn their loss one sister, one brother, 15 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren and many other relatives and friends. A brave soldier, a faithful friend, and an honorable citizen, his life shall live after him. >From The Bryan Press, Bryan, Ohio, March 4, 1915.

Wagoner, b. 5/11/1833, place unknown, died 11/14/1877 in DeKalb Co. and buried in Hamilton Cemetery. Married on 10/9/1859 to Lucretia Cosper who was born 1/10/1845 in Chamung Co., NY, and died in 1921. She is buried next to Josiah although she was married two more times after his death. Josiah's father was John J. Wagoner, b. 2/1795 place unknown, died 4/1848 place unknown. His wife was Margaret, last name unknown, born 7/1798 and died 6/8/1865 place unknown. Lucretia Cosper was the daughter of Charles Cosper, born 1809 in PA and died 6/11/1872 in Minnesota and Lucinda Weeks, b. 1812 in Vermont and died 10/10/1893 in Hamilton, IN, and is buried in the same Hamilton Cemetery as Josiah P. Wagoner and Lucretia Cosper Wagoner. Josiah P. and Lucretia Wagoner had at least one child, my great-grandfather, John Hunter Wagoner who was born 8/5/1862 in DeKalb County and died 6/15/1904 in Bowling Green, OH, where he is buried. John Hunter Wagoner was married to Bertha Luella George of Bowling Green. My grandfather, George D.

Hi Have you contacted the United Brethren Archives? The archives for the existing UB church is at Huntington College in Huntington, IN. The archives for the Evangelical United Brethren Church (merged with the Methodists in 1968) is at Dayton OH (I belive it's Union Theological Seminary). The Source gives the address as Historical Society, 1810 Harvard Bldg, Dayton, OH 45406. The two branches split in 1889. Mrs. Jane Mason is the Archivist at Huntington. Her e-mail is [email protected] They have old conference records, an obituary card file and other info. I've never been to Dayton, so I can't speak for what's there. My 2nd great-grandfather (George Robinett) was minister on the Mt Pleasant Circuit in 1884. Another 2nd great-grandfather was presiding elder for the North Ohio Conference (which included DeKalb and Steuben Co) -- and his son was a minister in the NO conference and a UB Bishop -- so I have done a bit of work in this area.

What are the hours for the library in Auburn and Garrett Indiana? Are they open on weekends? Thanks - Karen

Don't bother with Garrett, not much there. You'll be much better off in Auburn. Don't know the hours.

In a message dated 98-11-11 08:53:09 EST, you write: << Why are we getting this stuff on the mailing list? >> Because the listowner needs to mark on her list site to "only allow subscribers to send messages to the list" or something like that.

I am a board member of the newly created Gindlesperger Family History Association (please see the news release that follows). If you'd like more information about membership, please let me know. Julie Matthews Burnette -------------------------- News Release - For Immediate Release October 25, 1998 JAMESTOWN, PA - In anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the arrival in America of the family's immigrant ancestor, the Gindlesperger Family History Association, Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania on August 27, 1998. The Gindlesperger Family History Association, Inc. (GFHA) was established to encourage, coordinate, compile, and publish the results of research into the history, traditions, and lore of the family. A family reunion at one or more locations is being planned for late summer, 1999, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the family in America. The immigrant ancestor, Ulrich Gindlesperger, arrived in Philadelphia aboard the Phoenix on September 15, 1749, from Rotterdam. He settled first in Bern Township, Berks County, PA. An Amish-Mennonite probably originally from Switzerland, Ulrich had four children: Catherine, Jacob, Albrecht, and a daughter whose first name is not yet known. Before he died in 1783, Ulrich, his children, and grandchildren migrated to Stoneycreek and Quemahoning Townships, Somerset County, PA. Some members of the next generations migrated to Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario, Canada. Ulrich’s descendants migrated and lived in close association with other families bearing such early Amish-Mennonite surnames as Good, Hooley, Kauffman, Miller, Zuck, Yoder, and others. The Gindlesperger surname has been spelled in literally dozens of ways over the past 250 years, including Gindlesberger, Kindlesperger, Jinglespiker, and Inglesbrighter. “If you have a surname even remotely close to ‘Gindlesperger,’ you’re likely to be a cousin,” said Rev. Norman L. Gindlesperger, GFHA President. “One of the most interesting things about the establishment of the Gindlesperger Family History Association is that the founding members met over the Internet. Although we are cousins, we have not yet met in person. This is one of the reasons we look forward to celebrating the family’s 250th anniversary in America—the reunion will give us a chance to meet each other and many other Gindlesperger cousins as well,” said Rev. Gindlesperger. Drawing on the members’ Internet expertise, the GFHA will soon launch a comprehensive website that provides a large database of Gindlesperger genealogy. “To date, we’ve found over 3,000 direct descendants of Ulrich Gindlesperger. One of our goals is to provide free access to this great research; we want other people to have as much fun exploring their ancestry as we do,” Rev. Gindlesperger said. The incorporators and initial board members are: the Rev. Norman L. Gindlesperger, Baldwin, L.I., NY, President; James L. Gindlesperger, Johnstown, PA, Vice President; Julie Matthews Burnette, Germantown, MD, Secretary; G. James Gindlesberger, Alva, OK, Treasurer; and Virginia Gage Firks, Fort Wayne, IN. Additional information is available at the address below or from the above officers, respectively, at the following email addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; and [email protected] The GFHA is inviting Charter Memberships at $15.00 per year for individuals and families until the time of celebration in 1999. Membership dues may be sent to G. James Gindlesperger, 815 12th Street, Alva, OK 73717.

Seeking information on Louis Kester. Need information on his daughter's, Susan (Mrs. Silas McQuiston) and Rachel (Mrs. Henry Boarts). Any information would be greatly appreciated. Nora [email protected]

Thanks for the reply. I should tell you of my problem. My great-grandmother (maternal) was a Emaline Crouse Hoffman who married George R Hoffman in 1853 in DeKalb Co. She was his second (of three) wives. She died in Aug of 1866 just after the birth of my grandmother, and left a will (very unusual at the time) which is in Will Book #1 in the Courthouse. The farm was in Butler twp and I have all the deed transfer records from the Courthouse. In spite of the many records, I cannot find what George did with her. There is no cemetery record in the lists in the Eckhart Lib. Apparently, after Emaline died, George sold the farm and moved to Concord twp and remarried. I suppose he might have buried her on the farm. He is buried alone in Evergreen Cem in Auburn. You are correct- I have seen very few local cemetery records as complete as the DeKalb Auburn listings. Thanks again. Paul J.

I am looking for family connections to the Peter FAIR Family Peter Fair was among the first familys to settle DeKalb Co. IN. He helped clear a road to the settlement in Butler Twp. along with his older sons, Henry, Abraham, and Charles. He was the 1st Co. Commissioner of DeKalb Co.

In a message dated 98-10-16 17:47:48 EDT, you write: << I second your response- but I do wonder how complete the stone surveys are, since I could not locate my great-grandmother. >> Hi, Paul ... My quess is that the people who recorded the tombstone inscriptions did as thorough a job as they were able. Many of the older stones were sandstone so on some the names and dates have been worn away by years of weathering, rendering them unreadable. Some have been broken by vandals and/or time. And I personally know of at least 2 smaller stones that have simply sunk into the ground. And then, of course, sometimes our ancestors aren't buried where we think they should have been. I've been surprised where I've found some of mine. I am so thankful to the people who spent a great deal of time and effort to record the inscriptions from the stones in so many cemeteries. I know I found some of my ancestors only after checking the books ... even though I'd walked the cemeteries a number of times. You'd be surprised (I was) at how many times you can walk past someone you are looking for without even seeing their stone. Uggg. Anyway, hope this explains well enough why some of the people we might be looking for aren't in the records. I do have names of some places that might have the original cemetery records if anyone is interested. But have not had the time to check any of the sources myself.

I believe there is a tombstone for O. W. Rummell at White City -- the graves are in the large part of the cemetery (on the North side of State Road 1) near the farthest north edge along the 3rd drive way not too far from the huge tree. It appears that the tree tree Alfred Scott Louise Beam O.W.Rummell drive 3 drive 2 drive 1 new drive -- grassy but better access to and from the cemetery -- the old drives are narrow (made for horse and buggies) and steep note - - this map is not to scale and the graves are back toward the far north (or west) of the cemetery and the drives are along State Road 1. Good luck - - hope you find what you're looking for. Cheri
