I have an Ida May Schabel whose mother (name unknown) came to MI in a covered wagon from OH. I know that her maiden name wasn't SCHABEL, but this is the only info I have for her. She told my husband (as a small boy) about an elephant that was chained to the deck of the ship that she came to America on. I believe she had to have been born about 1850s to 1860s. I am also interested in finding out the name of her husband who was a SCHABEL. Their daughter was Ida May SCHABEL who was born 1892 in MI.Ida married Edward R. LEMKE SR abt 1910 in Muskegon, Muskegon CO MI.
