Seeking information about the descendants of Clarence B. MANGAS and Esther Reed GARES of Union City. I'm researching my GARES ancestors, and Esther's grandfather and my gr-grandfather were brothers. Am hoping to be able to connect with living descendants to share info about this family. Here is what I know about this family -- and I am certainly willing to share additional info on the GARES ancestors. Believe that Clarence B. MANGAS was born NOV 1895 in Jackson Township, Randolph County, Indiana, USA, son of John Wesley MANGAS and Wilda GETTINGER. Married (date unknown) to Esther Reed GARES, born 4 JAN 1896, daughter of Edward GARES and Sarah (Sadie, Sallie) Reed GARES. Edward Gares was the son of F. Amos Bennet/Barnet GARES and Susan Jane KING. If I have found the right people on the SSDI, Clarence died March 1965 and Esther died April 1983. Believed to have had at least 3 daughters - am hoping to connect with them or with their descendants - no idea of whom they married though, so am stuck on this point: (1) Ellen or Helen born about 1917 in Indiana (2) Martha J., born about 1922 in Ohio (3) Virginia J. born about 1926 in Indiana Clarence is listed as farming in Wayne Twp, Randolph Co in 1920 Census, and as Postal Carrier living in Union City, Wayne Twp in 1930. Above info about daughters comes from those census records. Thanks in advance to anyone who recognizes this family and can assist me, or anyone who can point to additional information about them.

Hi Lorraine, Do you have more information on your Martha Shoemaker? When was she born and where? I am descended from Isaac Shoemaker who was born abt 1793 in Virginia and died after 1860 in Preble Co., OH. His daughter, Catherine, moved to Randolph Co., IN, and her brother, James, possibly lived there also, albeit briefly. Ashley E-mail: TatjanaAV@aol.com OR TatjanaAV@yahoo.com

I'm still trying to pin down death and burial for my ggrandfather Curtis J. BULLOCK, b. 1879 in IN, but I believe he died in Clarion Co. PA about 1926. Just returned from there, but was unsuccessful determining death or burial in the area he last lived, so am hoping he was returned to Randolph Co. or Jay Co., IN.  His wife, Leota CHAMP BULLOCK's death is shown as 1918, according to a marriage application to Curtis' second wife, which I found in Venango Co.,PA. Living family members are pretty certain Leota died in IN, so again, assumptions are that she was buried in IN, also.  Can anyone help locate a death or burial for either?  Please, and thank you, in advance......
