Here's more on the KEIMs that lived in Wabash Co, IN. Perhaps this will help someone searching in that area. ________________ LUTHERAN CHURCH About 1853, religious work was begun by the Lutherans in the vicinity of Stockdale. Rev. Smith preached at the house of Benjamin Keim in Miami county. For some two years the meetings were held in those places of assembly which are always at hand where civilized people dwell, viz., houses and barns, not to speak of the open woods. In 1855, the meeting house was erected at the town of Stockdale, a neat and comfortable frame building, which is still standing and in good repair. Some of the members of the society have been Samuel Rancke, Benjamin Keim, David Keim, George Keim, Samuel Keim, William Keim, Benniwell Dorck, Bluebaker and their families and others. >From pg. 416, "History of Wabash County" [Indiana], T. B. Helm - author and editor, publ. 1884. ________________ Could "Benniwell Dorck" really be "Benniwell Derck" or "Benneville Derck?"? And, for anyone that wonders WHERE Stockdale is located, it appears to have been about 1 mi. due west of Roann, on the Wabash/Miami county line, near the Eel River. Don't know if the place is still in existence or not! One might check the 1895 U.S. Atlas site to see if it tells more about the place. 1895 U.S. Atlas site http://www.livgenmi.com/1895
