People who are more experienced genealogists than I suggest that most of the immigrants to Bremer County came from the wider Cook/Kane County area.

HUTCHINGS, KOEHLER, LUDELING Posted by Ruth Hoggatt <bhoggatt@seidata.com> on Mon, 30 Mar 1998 William Davies HUTCHINGS was born September 15th, 1825, at Lexington, Kentucky. William, who shared his father's and grandfather's name, was probably the first born son. Later, the family moved to Louisville. There was an older sister, Agnes, who died early, and at least one brother, Homer. William read medicine with Dr. David McClure of Scott County, Indiana for a year, then returned to Kentucky to study at the Academy in Lexington. He then, graduated from Asbury University of Indianapolis in 1851. He met his wife, Matilda Christine KOEHLER, in Wooster, Indiana. She was born on April 15, 1840, in Springfield, Ohio. Her grandfather, who was also a doctor, had migrated with his family from the Kingdom of Wurttemberg, landing in Baltimore in 1819. Matilda's father, Herman Adolar Koehler (1805-1882), lived for a time in Springfield, Ohio, and married Aurore Gerhardine LUDELING (1814-1890), the daughter of a Bremen merchant who had settled near New Orleans. Adolar moved his family to Southern Indiana. Matilda (Tillie) attended the Frederick Female Seminiary, in Frederick, Maryland, living with an uncle there. She returned home at the age of 17 and opened a school with her older sister. She married William D. Hutchings in the Fall of 1861, and shortly after moved to Lexington, Indiana. In 1876, the family moved from Lexington to a house on Vine Street in Madison. >From there, six years later, they moved into the house on Third Street. Dr. Hutchings' office, which was next door to their home, is now owned by Historic Madison who provides tours of the office. William Davies Hutchings died April 2, 1903 in Madison, Indiana; Mrs. Hutchings, on February 13, 1914. Dr. and Mrs. Hutchings children were Maude, Josephine, Willie, Charles Frederick, Robert Herman, Agnes, Lida and Zoe.

A set of my ggg grandparents were John A. Richman and Susannah Chalor (spelling in Illinois). They were married in Greenbrier County, Va. (now W. Va.) on July 12, l803, with her listed as Susannah Kayllor. They moved to east central Illinois in l826. The circumstantial evidence is strong that Susannah was the daughter of Mathias and Katherine Kaylor (many spelling variations in the public records.) Supposedlyl, Mathias Kaylor was born in Germany on Feb. 10, l748, and his wife Catherine/Katherine was born in Germany on March 20, 1760, and they supposedly were married on April ll, l780, probably in Germany. I am interested in documenting all of these dates and relationships. Also am interested in learning more about the arrival date and location in N.A. of Mathias and Katherine Kaylor. It is know that Mathias and Katherine settled along the New River in Va. (now W.Va.) at the mouth of Farley's Creek, probably around l800, and it is known that the parents of John A. Richman also lived only a short distance from this location during the same time period. Thank you, Mary R. Warnock 804 West Carroll Macomb, Ill, 6l455 Mary R.

Can anyone help me locate information on my mother's father Michael KOHLER, possibly known as Frank. The only information I have is from a certified copy of my mother's birth certificate from Cook County, Ill. However, she gave the information herself and had it witnessed. My mother's birth certificate says her father was 27 years old when she was born and a streetcar conductor. Orphanage records at St. Mary's in DesPlaines, IL show my grandfather's name as Michael Kohler and his wife as Catherine mcDermott Kohler. My mother's name was Genevieve Kohler. Mother believed he abandoned his family and went to California. Michael(Frank) KOHLER'S wife Catherine seemed unstable from orphanage records. I really don't know how to proceed.

Published by Lewis Publishing Co, Chicago, IL, 1900. pp. 156-157. [Monroe county]. Henry W. Honnell. One of the early settlers of the Mission township was Henry W. Honnell, who located in Brown County in 1856, four years before the admission of the state into the Union. The entire region was almost in its primitive condition, the settlements were few and much of the land was still unclaimed and undeveloped. Mr. Honnell is a native of Greene County Pennsylvania, his birth having accounted there on April 12, 1833, his father being William Honnell, a farmer, who married Miss Ellen Wilson, a lady of German lineage, who died May 30, 1869. Removing westward the family located near Sidney, Shelby County, Ohio, where the father died at the age of fifty-six years. Both parents were members of the United Brethren church and were people of the highest respectability. In their family were twelve children, namely: Archibald, who died at the age of sixty years, his death resulting from an accident; Morris; Eli; William, who served as a captain during the Civil war and died at Everest, Kansas; Jesse, a physician and surgeon who died at Beaver Dam, Allen county, Ohio; Henry; Thomas, a captain in the Union army during the Civil war; Francis, a soldier who died in Andersonville prison during the war of the Rebellion; Maria; Catherine; Cynthia; and Martha. Henry W. Honnell was the seventh son of the family and was reared on the old home farm. He attended the public schools and, with his brother, William, came to the west, locating in Mission township, where the town of Horton now stands. He has lived in this locality for forty-five years and is one of the honered pioneers of the state. He was married at the Indian mission by his brother, the Rev. William Honnell, to Miss Miranda J. Moore, a native of Monroe county, Kentucky, a daughter of Jeremiah Moore, one of the early settlers of Brown County. Her mother bore the maiden name of Elizabeth Spencer, was a native of North Carolina and a daughter of John and Mary Spencer, who died at the advanced age of one hundred years. Mr. Moore came to Brown county in 1856 and resided here for many years, but died in Kentucky, while visiting in the state. He was then seventy-seven years of age, and his wife passed away when seventy-two years of age. Both were consistent members of the Christian church, and in his political views he was a Republican. In their family were six children, namely: Joel; John; Jonathan; Polly A.; Elizabeth and Mrs. Honnell. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Honnell has been born six children, four of whom are yet living, namely: Mary Ella, wife of E. H. KELLER, and the first child born in Mission township, the date of her birth being 1858; William R., an Indian commissioner and president of the Horton Bank; U. G., proprietor of the Telephone Exchange, at Horton, Kansas, and Lizzie, wife of S. R. Farmer, of Mission township. Throughout his entire business career, Mr. Honnell has engaged in agricultural pursuits and is today the owner of a valuable property of three hundred and twenty acres of good land, all of which is carefully cultivated and kept in good condition. All modern accessories and improvements are found upon his place and its neat and thrifty appearance indicates the careful and practical supervision of the owner. Mr. Honnell has been active in every good cause which tends toward the improvement of the country along material, social, intellectual and moral lines, and lends his encouragement to all enterprises which are calculated to promote the general prosperity. In politics, he is a member of the Republican party but has never sought office, preferring that his time and engergies shall be given to his business affairs, in which he has met with creditable success. He and his wife are members of the Presbyterian church and Mr. Honnell is serving as one of its elders. During his long residence in the county he has witnessed many changes and improvements and at all times has borne his part in the work of progress and advancement. He well deserves mention among the honorable business men, loyal citizens and leading pioneers of this section of the state and with pleasure we present the record of his life to our readers.
