My mother worked as a bookkeeper for Hibben-Hollweg into the 1930's, but I don't remember if they closed are were sold. fred ******************************************* fjrichter@mail.parallax.ws http://www.parallax.ws/fjrichter --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]

Hello list - I am trying to determine the fate of a wholesale dry goods and jobber firm - Hibben, Hollweg & Co., South Meridian Street, Indianapolis. The key partner, Harold Hibben, died in 1916 and I believe his son, Harold, and son-in-law managed the firm at least through 1920. I am hoping that someone has access to phone books, business directories or other documents which might shed light on the existence of the firm in subsequent years. Also, if someone knows of municipal records which might document the firm and its management, please advise. Thanks for your help and sharing whatever info you might have. George in MA

Nancy, Thanks for the suggestion. I may have found Thomas there, but no Nancy. I`ll keep hunting.

Bill, You might also want to try the Crown Hill Cemetery Burial Locater website and see if they are buried there. My maternal great grandfather and family are there and it is an enormous facility--largest in Indy and that I have ever seen. Just Google Crown Hill Cemetery, Indy--the locater is accessed from their home page.

Dear Listers, Thanks to speedy assistance from a very surprising source, I am already making progress with the Indiana DENNYs through this list. I have received the obituary of Mr Austin Flint DENNY (1841 - 1922), one of the sons of the above, and I have pleasure in copying my transcription of it herewith (below). Yours, etc. Geoffrey Woollard in Cambridgeshire, England. The Indianapolis Star, The Hoosier State's Complete Newspaper, Saturday Morning, May 20, 1922. Austin F. DENNY, 80, Veteran Attorney, Dies; Ill 3 Weeks Funeral From North Delaware Street Home This Afternoon. Funeral services for Austin Flint DENNY (a veteran Indianapolis attorney) who died Thursday night at the City hospital following an illness of three weeks will be held at 2.30 o'clock this afternoon at the residence, 1619 North Delaware street. The Rev. James D. STANLEY, rector of Christ Episcopal Church, will conduct the services. Burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery. Mr DENNY practiced law in Indianapolis for more than fifty years. He had been in rugged health until about a year ago when he suffered a slight illness which took a serious turn about three weeks ago. Mr DENNY was born in Indianapolis and had made his home here with exception of the time he spent in study in the Harvard university law school. He was the son of Theodore V. DENNY and Elizabeth McLaughlin DENNY, pioneer settlers in the village of Indianapolis. He attended the old Northwestern Christian College (now Butler college) and was graduated as an honor student. He then entered the Harvard law school and immediately began the practice of law in Indianapolis after his graduation from this institution. Literary Critic of Ability. Mr DENNY was considered a literary critic of enviable attainments and his private library contains many volumes of rare worth. He was also a lover of art and had collected many valuable prints and paintings. Previous to his death Mr DENNY had expressed the desire that several of these rare prints and books should be placed in the city library to become permanent possessions of the community in which he had lived all his life. He was for many years a member of the Indianapolis Bar Association, of the Indiana Harvard Club, and of the Sons of the American Revolution. He was a charter member of the University Club. He is survived by his widow, Frances Gordon DENNY, a sister, Mrs Lucinda VANDAMAN, and a brother, William C. DENNY, all of Indianapolis. (Don't you just love that bit about 'the village of Indianapolis'!!!).

Hi Geoffrey, You are a long way from home! I've been monitoring the INMARION list for awhile now. My great-great-grandparents, Edward & Sarah Sinker emigrated to Indianapolis in 1849. Edward manufactured boilers there. I have a copy of Austin Flint Denny's obit in the Indianapolis Star if you don't already have it. Austin and my great-grandfather, Aflred, attended the same college, I see and Austin is buried in the same cemetery as my gggrandparents. Small world, isn't it? - Ed

If you mean that you will do look ups? Could you look up Adam Kistner and John Adam Mueller for me? Thank you very much for any help. Sandi

I am still up to looking up folks in my Indianapolis 1865 directory. Dianne

Dear Listers, I'm interested in making contact with anyone in or from Marion County, Indiana, regarding the above. Theodore Vernon DENNY (1800 - 1854) was my wife's third cousin five times removed. He married Elizabeth (Betsey) McLAUGHLIN (1805 - 1890) in 1823, and the couple had the following children - John Henry DENNY (1825 - 1835); Martha Ann DENNY (1827 - ); Catherine Henshaw DENNY (1829 - 1883); Joseph Addison DENNY (1831 - 1886); William Christopher DENNY (1834 - ); Lucinda Alice DENNY (1836 - ); Mary Maria DENNY (1837 - 1839); Theodore Harrison DENNY (1840 - 1840); Austin Flint DENNY (1841 - ); Everett Waldo DENNY (1844 - 1866); and Albert Walter DENNY (1848 - ). Of that large family, seven are known to have married and six to have had children. Maybe some of the latter's children are still around? Yours, etc. Geoffrey Woollard in Cambridgeshire, England (with 745 DENNYs on my database!).

Hi Dianne, Did you mean that you will do look-ups for others? If so, could you please check for a Tompkins A. LEWIS? Thank you very much for your time and efforts.

I know of the Convent of the Good Shepherd. I believe it was on East Michigan near Lockerbie. it was purchased in or around the 60's and the nuns moved out. I believe they placed children that were left on their doorstep. My father was friends with these nuns and I was in the convent before it was taken over. It was a big red brick building with a TALL cloister fence made of red brick. The sisters of the Carmelite on Cold Springs Road may be able to direct and help. They are really nice. Hope this helps DJ
