The only Ten Eyck family I'm familiar with there is that of Sherburn H. and Edna B.Strauss Ten Eyck whose children were Donna Alle, Donald Owen and Jack H. Ten Eyck. Does or did anyone of this group run a floral shop in Auburn, IN? Sherburn's sister Celia Marie married Clyde Hursh and Wallace Clayton Hersh. How was Sherburn named--for whom? Had never seen that name used in the Ten Eyck family before he was born in 1885. What did his middle initial H.stand for? Please and thanks!

Charles M. TenEyck, born 3 Apr 1858, near Blissfield, Michigaqn, son of Albert TenEyck. Charles had a sister and a half brother, Hattie (TenEyck) Bowen of Ingersoll, Canada and Frank of Jackson, Michigan. Charles spent his early boyhood at Hudson, Michigan and graduated form Hudson High School. Charles maried Nina Holmes, 24 Aug 1881. From Hudson, Michigan, they moved to Hillsdale, Michigan for about five years, before coming to Auburn. He was employed for several years at the Zimmerman Carriage factory in Auburn. In 1897 he left the factory work to go into the Florist business. Charles and son, Sherburn were in the Florist business forty years in Auburn. To this union were born three children; Bessie, born in Hillsdale, Michigan, died young; Marie born in Auburn, IN, maried Wallace Hursh. Sherburn born in Hillsdale, Michigan. Nina was a member of the Pythian Sisters and W.B. A. Lodge. They were both members of the Auburn Methodist Episcopal Church. Charles died 18 Sep 1938 and Nina died in 1939, both are buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery. Don't know how he got the name of Sherburn, or what the H. stands for except his son was named Jack Harraid TenEyck. Sherburn was in the florist business with his father (Charles)for forty years. Some time later his granddaughter Jacowen Arlee (TenEyck) Smith, started the florist business again, several years ago she retired. And the business is know longer in the family altho it is still listed under the TenEyck name. --- dbonnell@frii.com wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to > this mailing list. > > Surnames: Rupp, > Hersh,Hursh,Sanxter,Strauss,Hughes,Bash,Ten Eyck > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Th.2ADI/2122 > > Message Board Post: > > Was there a Ten Eyck family in Auburn, DeKalb Co.IN > which owned, operated a floral shop?
