I have quite a few Holmes Co death records. I will post them as I enter them into my files. I have not yet scanned these. I need to buy a disk to hold them on that will be in a wk or so. When I get them scanned and onto a disk you are more than welcome to copies of them. If you have questions from the d/c I will try and read them for you. ~pat (entwhistle-entwistle/gethen/hershberger) griffiths/jones~ My Holmes Connections are Miller (via John "Indian" Miller)/Gerber/Stutzman/Hershberger. These are my closest links so far. Hope this helps some people I spelled what was on the documents.

On 16 Jan 1838 there was a marriage in Holmes County Ohio between Henry KOONS and Susan MILLER. Soon afterwards they moved to Montgomery Co Ohio, and around a year later to Miami County Ohio. I would like to know the parents, siblings, etc of these two. The first child was born soon after the marriage which may have prompted the quick move to southwest Ohio. Henry was born in Aug 1812 in Maryland, and died in Miami County Ohio on 20 Nov 1901 in the county infirmary. Susan was born circa 1815 in Pennsylvania, and died between the years 1860 and 1870. They are buried without stones in The Freidens Lutheran Church Cemetery, Newberry Twp, Miami Co Ohio. I suspect (no proof) that Henry was a son of Leonard KUNTZ and Susan SPIECKER of Tuscarawas County Ohio I also suspect that Susan may have been (no proof) a daughter of Henry MILLER and Elizabeth MIZER The children of Henry and Susan (Miller) Koons were: (1st two born in Montgomery Co, last four in Miami Co Ohio) 1-Sarah..... born 21 Apr 1838, d 17 Oct 1865, mar Michael KATHERMAN 2-Mary C.... born 21 Feb 1840, mar Moses ETTER 3-John,..... born ca1841 4-William... born ca1843, mar Amelia BAYMAN 5-Samuel,... born ca1847, mar Nancy Ann GAUBY 6-Isaac,.... born ca1849 Thank you Joe Bosserman Covington, Miami County Ohio joe.boss@voyager.net >

Ran across a "gold mine" of information on the internet - obituaries for deaths in the early 1900's. Most of these were folks connected to the Brethren and/or Mennonite Churches. These obits are indexed a couple different ways for ease in using the site. Take a look! http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mennobit/index2.html

Holmes Co. was not created until 1824/25. While I suppose it is possible your ancestors may have been living in the area that early, you will need to look in other counties. Holmes was created from Coshocton, Tuscawaras, and Wayne Co., which in turn were created: Coshocton 1810/11 from Muskingum and Tuscawaras Tuscawarus 1808 from Muskingum Muskingum 1804 from Fairfield/Washington At 11:07 PM 2/18/2001, JWilli7049@aol.com wrote: >I am searching for my ancestors John M.
