Posted on: Benton Co. Mo Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Mo/Benton/11061 Surname: FAILER, BYLER ------------------------- FAILER AND BYLER IN BENTON COUNTY. There is a FALER cemetery south of Cole Camp and near Edmonson and I was wondering if Faler and Failer could be the same name? Two of us are working on a history of the area and would like to tie the old families into this where possible. I was also wondering if FALER or FAILER could be German because here the name is pronounced with a long A, and I though possibly the name may have once been spelled Faeler, or Fäler. There were a bunch of Germans who settled in the area around the cemetery. As regards the Byler name, could this be the family that once owned a grist mill on in Morgan County near the Benton and Morgan County line? Here the name is pronounded BOILER, hence Boiler's Mill, although the spelling is known to have been Byler. If there are connections any information would be appreciated. Bob [email protected]
