I believe that Charles Van Rie married Melanie in Adegem, Belgium and had two children there - Mary b 1877 and Gustaaf (August) b 1879. August's WW1 reg card lists his birth as Adegem, Belgium. Also, the daughter, Mary Van Rie died on 14 Mar 1885 in Mishawaka. She was 8 years old. Thanks, Michelle Decatur Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
