CUPPY, who runs the U.S. Hotel, and his entire family, includung their guests, Roy and Pearl MOORE, of Indianapolis, are laid up with influenza. Owing to the serious illness of Mrs. Chas. J. MANN, who is suggering from La Grippe, there will be no meeting of the Loyal Temperance Legion this week. Mrs. Chas. KIPLINGER has left for Indianapolis after a pleasant visit with friends attending a happy reunion of her father's family, D.S. CROSS, of the South Side. Everyone on the South Side is laid up with La Grippe. Dr. BATES said this morning that he hadn't any sleep for four nights, because he is kept busy day and night. On the 4th of October, Lewis DIBLING, of 721 Greenlawn Avenue, bade his family an affectionate farewell and left for Henderson, Ky., where he said he had a job as engineer on a railroad. He wrote two affectionate letters in the first two weeks of his absence, telling his wife to kiss the children for him, and stated that he expected to go to work there every day. Since then his wife has not heard from him. She became very much worried, as he never went longer than two weeks without writing home, she feared that he had been killed. Through members of the Brotherhood, of which DIBLING was a member in good standing, she has heard that he was at Charleston, Ills., last Wednesday. He was formerly an engineer on the Toledo, Kansas City & St. Louis Railway, his run from St Louis to Charleston. He boarded at Char;eston with a Mrs. MOTHERELL, who has a husband living and is not divorced, and has three grown sons. Mrs. DIBLING has heard that her husband is living with this woman. He resigned his position on the Toledo, K.C. & St L. railway in August and came home. Mrs. DIBLIND did not notice anything unusual in his actions during his visit at home. Martin DIBLING, a brother of Lewis, has heard that he made a trip through the south since he left Lima, but nothing else concerning him. Mrs. DIBLING says: We have been married sixteen years and never had a quarrel or a cross word of any kind. He was so quiet, and such a good man to his family, that he seemed to live only for his family; that's what makes the shock so awful. When he was at home he always stayed in evenings unless he had to attend a meeting of the Brotherhood. or had some very urgent business to attend to. We have 3 children- Eddie 15: Erbie 13: and Henry 10. For a while I was worried so much that I thought I would loose my senses. His parents are both living and residents of Perrsburgh, Ohio. His mother is almost prostrate with grief at her son's ungrateful actions. This house and lot was all paid for, and we had some money saved, which has helped to support the family, as he has contributed nothing since August. He has no ezcuse for leaving his family, as he had nothing to worry about. Mrs DIBLING has been compelled to take in boarders for the support of her sons as they are all going to school, and need clothes and books. She thinks there must be a woman in the affair, as her husband was always so kind and good to his family, and thought so much of his children, that nothing else could have caused him to stay away and not even write. If he came back, she would forgive him for the sake of the children; as they take it so hard, and don't understand why papa doesn't write or come home. Mrs. DIBLING states that for sixteen years of her life has been a happy one. She is almost heart-broken, and has the sympathy of the entire community, as she is loved by all in the neighborhood in which she lives.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZYB.2ACI/342.2 Message Board Post: My father was Paul V. Carrino. He had several brothers. Lawrence, Phillip, Frank and a sister, Angeline was married to Joe Nesta; the two of them owned a small grocery on Vine St. in Lima, OH. As a small child I remember Joe cooking lots of spaghetti and Angeline working her fingers to the bone to keep everything clean. I have pictures of Nick, Frank, Phillip and my papa, taken in Delphos. These pictures were given to me by Angilo Fedele. My grandfather was John but I never knew any of them as they had past away before I was born in 1945. I do know his wife past away in 1917. Mom and dad were divorced by my 4th birthday. I stayed with dad during the summers, before he past away in 1953. Dad was 47 when I was born. My mother, Kathleen Newland Carrino, was 19. She was born at Indian Lake and past away in 1993. My husband, Dale Spencer, and I lived in Lima from 1968 to 2000 in Bath township. I had bought the Indian Lake homeplace in 1991 and after my husband retired from Roundy! 's we moved here to be closer to the fishing. Phillip and Alvena lived in Covington, Ky where Phillip was head mechanic for the Chevy garage. They too had a daughter named Diane. Lawrence past away many years ago in St. Louis, near his children. I didn't get to know Frank or Nick. I met Phillip and Alvena. As a child we lived a short time by them in Covington. I wrote Lawrence before his death but never got to meet him. I know my grandfather came from Italy and my grandmother was a French Canadian. I would like to learn more about my fathers family. Please feel free to e-mail me at any time. I was an Office Manager for a national cleaning company which maintained an office branch in Lima. I find myself with lots of time on my hands now that I no longer work.

Here is what they sent from the Lima News Jan. 14, 1936. Earlier in the night L. A. Baker, 52, of 1015 St, Johns ave died following injuries suffered Sunday when struck by the auto of Frank Shaffer, 710 Catalpa ave who was exonerated of blame. My Great uncle had just moved to Lima from North Baltimore, Ohio. I was not sure if his obit would also be in the paper there or not. I did however know that he had died there and how so knew there was a posibility some thing might have been in the paper.

AOL is up to its tricks again, as list mail has been bouncing for AOL subscribers. What is odd is that the problems seem to relate to the Allen Cty list and not other lists that I administrator for. My sense is that the AOL systems have erroneously designated mail to and from the list as spam and therefore has put a block on it, causing the bounces. 3 bounces, and people are automatically removed from the list. I'm not sure what good it does to communicate this to non-AOL users, but if you happen to encounter someone who is an AOL subscriber, you can at least tell them what the issue is. AOL users may resubscribe. I seem to recall that this has happened in the past.

Since I posted my message, I found their parents, Philipp Metzger and Philippine "Phoebe" Schütz. They had sons named Christian and Samuel, who were born about the same time as the Christian and Samuel who later lived in Allen County. Samuel was enumerated in the Allen County censuses living in the household next to Christian. Phoebe went to live with Christian in Allen County for a time after her husband died. And, for what it’s worth, LDS IGI records list Samuel and Christian with the same parents.
