There was an Oldenburg city and an Oldenburg district or county, right? Also, wasn't the census taker supposed to give the birthplace name as it was when the census was taken? The names changed in Germany often with the moving of boundaries. What a headache this is to try to straighten out! Best Wishes, Donna Mollaun ************** Planning your summer road trip?

Hi again, I found the info,It was in a book online titled " The History Of Hamilton County Ohio " It says: Tuttle,Alexander , 25 Nov 1811- 11 May 1849, Buried at Fulton Cemetery #2 Located at the foot of Carrel Street, Columbia, Cincinati, Ohio, Transcribed by Beth Gravess, 2000. I also found somewhere ,which I did not remember,his wifes name and his children, I forgot I even had the info. His wifes name was Elizabeth Ann Smith, His children are Linton Carrol Tuttle, Frederick A Tuttle, and Euginia A Tuttle.So my next question is: Do you know if Fulton Cemetery #2 is still an active Cemetery ,I guess I would call and ask if they have?not sure what Documents I would ask for? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks again for all your help.

I have the chain of title(all previous owners) to a property in the Eastern Libertites in Fulton township (current day Columbia Tusculum) purchased by John H Schweinefus(my cousin) in 1864. I'll transcribe the whole thing later, but I at least wanted to post the names of the owners. "Lot #35 between Hill Street and High Street, at the intersection of Hafer St(now Washington St.)" [the 'now washington' is from the deed in 1864, not the current day street name - which I do not know.] "Lot described as extending to center of Hill Street on the north and center of High Street on the south, reserving use of streets to inhabitants of Eastern Liberties as highways forever." Owners: Francis Carr, Adm of Henry Hafer decd. (1827) Charlotte C. Hafer (release to Carr) Septimus and Jenimia Hazen James and Catherine Stevenson Henry P. and Judith L. Rucker Tilman Keanes (I think its a 'K') John M. Miller John A. Davis, Adm. of John M. Miller (Augeline Scull, wife of John Miller) Enoch H. Scull Thomas and Zylpha A. B. Windsor John H Schweinefus (1864) Mortgages uncancelled: James and Catherine Stevenson Matthew Lawler Matthew L. Harbeson non-owners mentioned: Isaac G. Burnett, Mayor of Cincinnati Judge Jamin M.

Hi Thank you very much for your suggestions and help. I will look back in my files to see what all I have on Alexander. Thomas C and Oliver died in other States,Thomas in Indiana,and Oliver in Galveston Texas,Oliver was said to have been in the Mexican American War he ended up in Texas and made his home there,Thomas left Ohio in 1852 and went to Indiana and started a Steam Run Grist and Saw Mill, It was the first of it's kind in that County. I have a group of letters that have some info on Oliver and Alexander, I have very,very little on them. Oliver was said to have gone out in a boat and the boat was found turned turtle and he was never found and thought to have drowned. Thomas died from a crushed skull when he was run over by a team of oxen while on the Michigan State Road in Indiana just a few miles from his home, Oct, 1873. I tried to find info on Oliver through Mailing list for Galveston Texas but had no luck ,I am back on his trail once again. I have been doing Genealogy for ten years, I have been very lucky in my research., I could stop at this point and have a huge book to print ,But I just keep on digging. Well Thank again for your help.

If you know where he was buried, I suggest you check to see if that cemetery's records are online. I know several Cincinnati cemeteries have put their records on the web, as I've found a number of ancestors that way. If you don't know where he's buried, and if the name doesn't appear in any of the cemeteries online, check if his obit appeared in the papers, and hopefully it will list the cemetery. Cemetery records can provide a lot of information. I did check Spring Grove and found 61 Tuttles listed. While there were no Alexanders, there was an Oliver S. and a Thomas C.

Hello, I think I have been in contact with you before. Right now I can't think about which family line but I'm not related to the Nurre family. You must have me mixed up with someone else. Bye for now, Donna The Goughs <[email protected]> wrote: Donna, I too am a Nurre researcher but from Evansville, IN. My GGrandaunnt married a Nurre in Evansville with some connection to Cincinnati. I thought you might appreciate this history of St. Agnes Catholic Church in Brown County, IN. Mike ST. AGNES CATHOLIC CHURCH Nashville, Indiana 47448 http://www.stagneschurchnashville.org/history.htm THE BIRTH OF A CHAPEL BEGINS... It is with this scanty information of Catholicism in Brown County that one asks the questions, "So how does a chapel get built in Nashville, sponsored by a family in Bloomington and serving both residents and tourists?" The need for a place to gather the resident Catholics for Sunday worship and instruction of the children is evident from the early history. There were also many Catholics among the tourists who visited the county. The other ingredient to this story comes from a family in Bloomington who was searching for a way to memorialize their gratitude to God for their family. Joseph and Agnes Marie Nurre moved from Cincinnati in 1912 when Joseph was asked to open a mirror manufacturing plant in Bloomington, Indiana, for the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, the company for which he worked. Thus began the Nurre Mirror Plate Company. Business prospered and the Nurre family be- came involved with civic and church affairs. Joseph was active in the Knights of Columbus and in establishing the Gibault Home in Terre Haute. Mrs. Nurre was also involved in many community affairs. It was in Bloomington that the five children (Joseph Jr., John, Tom, Ruth and Mary Agnes) were born. Family life was very important to the Nurres. They enjoyed music, gardening, walks and holidays together. The Nurres were members of St. Charles Parish in Bloomington. They were close friends of the priests in their parish, especially Father Paul Deery, Father Francis Kull and Father Thomas Kilfoil. When they were planning to move to New Jersey in 1937, the Nurres approached their pastor. Father Kilfoil, and asked to build a memorial of thanksgiving for their children. Their thought was to build a chapel in Bloomington. Father Kilfoil sent the Nurres with their request to Bishop Joseph Ritter of Indianapolis (later Joseph Cardinal Ritter). The Bishop was aware of the needs of the Catholics in neighboring Brown County. Father Francis Kull had already requested help for those Catholics he was serving in the northern part of the county. In his foresight. Bishop Ritter felt that a chapel should be built near Nashville for the increased number of tourists and also as a Catholic presence in the county. Thus the dream of the Nurres could become a reality, and the needs expressed by Father Kull would be met. This combination of events led to the birth of St. Agnes Chapel. ON THE DAY OF DEDICATION... Dedication of the new St. Agnes Chapel took place on Friday, October 11, 1940 at 9:00. Bishop Joseph Ritter blessed the building and consecrated the altar. Very Rev. Romuald Mollaun, OFM of Oldenburg, blessed the stations. Assisting the Bishop were Rev. Frances Kull, Rev. Bernard Nurre of Covington, Kentrucky, (cousin of the Nurres), Rev. Paul Deery of Vincennes, Rev. Thomas Kilfoil and Rev. John Walsh of Bloomington. Other visiting clergy were present. Music for the occasion was provided by the Clergy Choir of Indianapolis, with Rev. Edwin Sahm at the organ. Among other guests were Commanding Officers of the C.C.C. camps at the State Park. Business friends of the Nurre family also attended the dedication. A luncheon for 60 guests was served at the Abe Martin Lodge in the Brown County State Park after the ceremony.

Jerry, I have seen the word 'founder' applied to a person who works 'founding ' type. They are the ones who made the type pieces for the old letterpresses used for printing for years. I believe it comes from 'foundry' - only in this case, it applies to pouring lead into the molds for the type pieces, not steel or iron for manufacturing. I used a 5" X 8" letterpress for printing business cards and other small announcements for many years.

Hi Folks, First I want to say just how wonderful it is to have this virtual libaray open, What a gift. Thank You!! to all who made it possiable. I found one of my kin listed in one of the 1840's directories, and it shows his occupation as "FOUNDER" Does anyone know what a Founder did??, also are there other documents available through the virtual library than the directories? I know that my "Alexander Tuttle" died of Cholera when there was an out break in that area, I have an old letter dated 1842 that speaks of his death, He was married and had some children ,which I have no information on his wife or children. I did find on the Hamilton Page his death listed and I think his place of burial, I wanted to know if Death Certs are available or things like that, Alexander was there with his two brothers "Thomas C Tuttle" and "Oliver Tuttle", Thomas is listed in the 1842 Directory as Ships Carpenter living near the Shp Yards,He married "Elizabeth Francis Anderson" in 1836,Which is just after he and his brothers arrived there from "Penobscot Maine", I would love to find out how they got there and what Ship they were on, The three of them left "Penobscot Maine" in Feb of 1835 according to the same 1842 letter mentioned above, They all left home when Mom remarried to a man they did not like, after the death of their father "Josiah Tuttle". Any help would be greatly appreciated ,or advice. Thanks again to those who made this virtual library available to us out here on the web,What a gift!!

Donna, I too am a Nurre researcher but from Evansville, IN. My GGrandaunnt married a Nurre in Evansville with some connection to Cincinnati. I thought you might appreciate this history of St. Agnes Catholic Church in Brown County, IN. Mike ST. AGNES CATHOLIC CHURCH Nashville, Indiana 47448 http://www.stagneschurchnashville.org/history.htm THE BIRTH OF A CHAPEL BEGINS... It is with this scanty information of Catholicism in Brown County that one asks the questions, "So how does a chapel get built in Nashville, sponsored by a family in Bloomington and serving both residents and tourists?" The need for a place to gather the resident Catholics for Sunday worship and instruction of the children is evident from the early history. There were also many Catholics among the tourists who visited the county. The other ingredient to this story comes from a family in Bloomington who was searching for a way to memorialize their gratitude to God for their family. Joseph and Agnes Marie Nurre moved from Cincinnati in 1912 when Joseph was asked to open a mirror manufacturing plant in Bloomington, Indiana, for the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, the company for which he worked. Thus began the Nurre Mirror Plate Company. Business prospered and the Nurre family be- came involved with civic and church affairs. Joseph was active in the Knights of Columbus and in establishing the Gibault Home in Terre Haute. Mrs. Nurre was also involved in many community affairs. It was in Bloomington that the five children (Joseph Jr., John, Tom, Ruth and Mary Agnes) were born. Family life was very important to the Nurres. They enjoyed music, gardening, walks and holidays together. The Nurres were members of St. Charles Parish in Bloomington. They were close friends of the priests in their parish, especially Father Paul Deery, Father Francis Kull and Father Thomas Kilfoil. When they were planning to move to New Jersey in 1937, the Nurres approached their pastor. Father Kilfoil, and asked to build a memorial of thanksgiving for their children. Their thought was to build a chapel in Bloomington. Father Kilfoil sent the Nurres with their request to Bishop Joseph Ritter of Indianapolis (later Joseph Cardinal Ritter). The Bishop was aware of the needs of the Catholics in neighboring Brown County. Father Francis Kull had already requested help for those Catholics he was serving in the northern part of the county. In his foresight. Bishop Ritter felt that a chapel should be built near Nashville for the increased number of tourists and also as a Catholic presence in the county. Thus the dream of the Nurres could become a reality, and the needs expressed by Father Kull would be met. This combination of events led to the birth of St. Agnes Chapel. ON THE DAY OF DEDICATION... Dedication of the new St. Agnes Chapel took place on Friday, October 11, 1940 at 9:00. Bishop Joseph Ritter blessed the building and consecrated the altar. Very Rev. Romuald Mollaun, OFM of Oldenburg, blessed the stations. Assisting the Bishop were Rev. Frances Kull, Rev. Bernard Nurre of Covington, Kentrucky, (cousin of the Nurres), Rev. Paul Deery of Vincennes, Rev. Thomas Kilfoil and Rev. John Walsh of Bloomington. Other visiting clergy were present. Music for the occasion was provided by the Clergy Choir of Indianapolis, with Rev. Edwin Sahm at the organ. Among other guests were Commanding Officers of the C.C.C. camps at the State Park. Business friends of the Nurre family also attended the dedication. A luncheon for 60 guests was served at the Abe Martin Lodge in the Brown County State Park after the ceremony.
