I am looking for Peter Bolenbaugh who d. 1851, his wife Elizabeth who died after 1850, and their daughter Emaline who was born 1849. Did the whole family die of maybe Typhoid or some other illness.

I just got my Fairfield Trace Newsletter & noted up and coming meetings. I live out of state but there's a meeting on May 5th I'd have loved to go to. So I was wondering if there is anyone who is planning on attending who might take notes or record the speaker's address on "Township & Village Revords?" Of course please get permission from the speaker before recording him and I would reimburse for any expenses and time. Or maybe someone could get me in touch with the speaker, Tom Neel, OGS Library Director, so I could ask him for notes or a recording. Thanx lots.

He is liable to a maximum fine of $1,000, or ten years in prison, or both.

The victim of the alleged attack also told authorities how she had been carried to the Thurston school house yard where she man- aged to free herself by kicking and scratching.

Sentence was passed after Judge Shell overruled a motion for a new trial, filed today by the defense counsel, John Silbaugh, appointed by the court. Monnett will be taken to prison within the next few days by one of Sheriff Sesler's deputies. He was tried Thursday and after deliberating thirty minutes the jury returned a verdict of guilty. While intoxicated Monnett visit the little girls home early one morning last fall, opened the window and removed the child from a couch where she had been sleeping and carried her to the Thurston school house yard where he attempted to take improper liberties with her. However, the child, by struggling, kicking and scratching, according to the story told authorities, managed to free herself and escape. Clad only in her night clothing and under garments she made her way back to the home and told her parents it was Emerson Monnett who had taken her out of the house. Shortly afterwards the village marshall went to Monnett's home, arrested him, and brought him to the city prison here. Following arraignment before Mayor R. U. Hastings he was confined in the county jail in default of bond, until final dispostion of his case. Lancaster Daily Eagle, Lancaster, Ohio, Feb. 9, 1929

Surnames: Dupler Monnet Monnett Hastings Vermillion Neeley Miller Smith Hayes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2VB.2ACE/502.1 Message Board Post: Lancaster Daily Eagle, Lancaster, Ohio, October 4, 1928 NAB ATTACKER AFTER ASSAULT ON THURSTON GIRL - Catch Man Who Dragged Little Girl From House - Entered Dwelling at 2 a.m. and Took Child Out Window - May be Faced by Victims of Masked Man. Emerson Monnet, aged 37, section hand with the N. Y. Central Ry., pleased guilty this morning in Mayor Hastings court to charges of assault with attempt to ravish 12-year old Bessie Dupler of Thurston and taking improper liberties with the girl. He was bound over to the grand jury under bond of $2,000 on each charge and is being held at the county jail. While intoxicated, Monnett opened the window of the Dupler home at 2 o'clock this morning, crawled in and turned out the light, then carried away the little girl who was asleep on a couch. She had volunteered to make her bed downstairs when her sister, with whom she slept, complained of pain in an injured hip. Mr. Wm. Dupler, a carpenter, heard his daughter scream as she was awakened and carried thru the open window, which Monnett had propped up with a croquet mallet. He had also cut off the bottom part of the curtains, apparently to prevent entanglement on making his exit. Mr. Dupler ran downstairs, followed by his wife, who became hysterical when she found her daughter missing. In a few moments the little girl came running back to the house, her night clothes torn from her, bruises on her arms and back, and a cut on her shoulder. Fighting in terror she had been carried and dragged to a spot behind a schoolhouse about 600 feet away where she broke loose and fled as Monnett attempted to make an immoral assault on her. Judson Vermillion, Thurston marshall, was summoned by Mr. Dupler and with others made a search for Monnett whom the little girl had recognized. The attacker was found at his home, arrested, and brot [sic] to the city jail where he was turned over to George Neeley, night captain. Harry Miller, a Thurston man who was said to have been associating with Monnett earlier in the night was also arrested and fined for intoxication. Except for nervous shock which caused no lasting effect, the little girl was unharmed by her terrifying experience, excluding the minor hurts mentioned. May Call Other Women It is thought possible that Monnett, who is said to have been arrested before in Thurston, Newark and Columbus on charge of immoral conduct, may be responsible for one or more of the attacks upon women which threw such a scare into the city and county a few weeks ago. Officials are considering having Mrs. Perry Smith and Mrs. Edward Hayes, victims of the masked attacker, confront Monnett to see if the women can identify him.

Emerson Monett was the perpetrator. Three articles from Lancaster Daily Gazette. 12 Jan 1929. 07 Feb 1929. 13 Feb 1929.

COULD YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE CRIME. ARE WE TALKING MURDER, KIDNAPPING, OR WHAT? IT MIGHT TRIGGER SOMEONE'S MEMORY IF YOU CAN FILL US IN W/ ANY INFO AT ALL.

HOWEVER, I CAN FIND OUTFROM AN OLDER COUSIN IF THIS IS THE SAME CASE. A GIRL WAS MURDERED AND HER BOYFRIEND WAS THE ONE THEY TRIED TO PIN IT ON. HE WAS KILLED ALSO AND HAD ALCOHOL POURED OVER HIM AS THOUGH HE WAS DRUNK. HE WAS A NON-DRINKER SO IT WAS NOT BELIEVEABLE.MARGE
