GlacierSearching for any info on Irvin C. DUCHEMIN. Born on farm near Sheridan, IN after 1880. This is my great grandfather who I know nothing about. Any info is greatly aprreciated. Frank McCollister frank@rexnet.net

Hi I'm trying to find information on my great grandmother, Sarah Ann Meyers. She was born in 11 Oct 1862, died 27 Jan 1937 and married my great grandfather Lewis Paddock (25 July 1857-18 April 1903) in 1885 in Eagleton. They lived in Sheridan, where my grandfather was born 11 Nov 1894. I've never found anything on Sadie. I'd think she was a phantom, except I do have some photographs of her! Does anyone have any information on this family or suggestions on where I can look. Thank you. Pamela Paddock Arnold

Jessup, in the 69th year of his age. Funeral at Richland on the 25th at 3 p.m. Alfred T. Jessup was born near Richmond, Wayne County, Ind., November 30th, 1822. When about 10 years of age came with his parents, Abraham and Hannah Jessup, to Hamilton County, two miles west of Carmel. He married Henrietta J. Todd in 1843 and settled on a farm about three miles southwest of Carmel. He lived in Carmel and was in partnership with Elijah King and Sylvanus Carey in the goods business a short time before the late civil war, having previously clerked for Mr. King several years. He returned to to the farm about 1860, where his wife died some years later. Their oldest daughter, who married John R. Collins, died in 1875. Their next daughter died when not two months old. Two other daughters are still living, one in South Carolina, where she went some years ago with her husband on account of his health, and the other, the wife of Oliver Haines, at Gray, in this county. In 1866 he married Martha Conner, a sister of Thomas and Edwin Harvey, and in 1869 he again entered the goods business in Carmel and remained in the business as sole proprietor until 1885, when he sold out on account of poor health. He suffered intently from asthma from this time until his death, though the immediate cause of death was an attack of dysentery. He was converted and became a member of the Methodist Church soon after his first marriage and was class leader most of the time for over twenty years. He was strictly honest, active and industrious, nervous and fidgety, scarcely ever known to sit down and rest, enjoyed the confidence of all who knew him and they liked to trade with him. He united with the Friends Church about eight years ago. He was progressive, liked to have things clean and good order about him, always advocated the right and took a firm stand against profanity and immorality. To the many different persons with who he conversed on religious topics in the last few years he frequently expressed his confidence and faith in the Savior, and said he was ready to go. "Be ye also ready."-- (Luke 12, 40, revised edition.)

Is anyone in the Noblesville area who would be willing to look for an obituary for Hamilton or Addie Lovell? I believe they would have passed away in the early 1900s but I have no information. I am hoping that an obituary will provide information on their daughter, Gertrude. Many thanks. Conni in Ohio
