Our Huron County, Ohio Marriages, 1815-1900, published by Scheuer Publications, shows the marriage record for August A. Zeller as follows: August A. Zeller m. Dorothy Bahr 23 Oct 1864, Book 1, Page 448. Our Huron County Probate Court Naturalization Records Index, 1859-1903, published by HCC/OGS, 2003 lists the following: August Zeller Germany 1902 FP4/437. The information was compiled by Henry R. Timman in 2001, when he was Chief Deputy Clerk in the Probate Court Office. There are no column headings for this list. My assumption is that they are: name, country of birth, year of naturalization action, and comments "FP4" is stated as meaning "First Papers 1886-1906." I assume the "437" could be a page number. If "Germany" actually means country of birth, then this would be at odds with your August's birthplace as Ridgefield Township, Huron County, Ohio. Further, If August A. Zeller was born in this country, I believe he would gain automatic citizenship and have no need to apply for citizenship. It would seem that this August Zeller is not the same person as your August A. Zeller. I found more on the internet about August A. Zeller regarding his family, but they match what you have already reported. One source, Ancestry.com's Family Trees, has the following record: August A. Zeller, b. 12 Aiug 1841, Ridgefield Township, Huron County, Ohio. Father: John Zeller. Spouse: Dorothy Bahr. I couldn't find anything more on August's parentage.

I am looking for information about August A. Zeller. He was born In Ridgefield Township, Huron Co. on March 12, 1841. I have come to a brick wall trying to find out who his parents were. August’s death certificated listed his father as John Zeller but this is not enough to go on to find out about them. Does anyone know if there are any records from that time that might have listed this family (churches, schools, directories)? I have found nothing on the census records. They must have lived in the area for some time because he married Dorothy Bahr in Monroeville, Ohio in October, 1864. I have no idea what kind of work his father did. Thanks to anyone who can give me information or tell me where to look. There is only limited information in Birmingham about Ohio genealogy.

Anna, There is a picture of the Bronson-Norwalk school in the book "A Century Plus of Schools in Huron County, Ohio 1816-2000". The pictures in the book are kind of grainy, so it's not real clear. The book was "Published in conjunction with the retired Teachers of Huron County and the Huron County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society". It was compiled by Nancy Zeiter. Someone else on the list may know how to get a hold of the original of this picture.

There was no singing at the funeral of L.D. CRUM. While we have always been moved by the sentiment brought forth in the sacred songs on such occasions, yet the profuseness of the splendid passages of scripture read and touching prayer and inspiring sermon and talk was probably satisfying to all. ------------------------------------------- Transcribed and submitted by Amy E.

FRED CASE and wife, who have been visiting relatives in this vicinity have gone to visit a brother in Canton, Ohio. LEE DUFFY, wife and child, of New Haven, were Sunday afternoon callers at the home of his brother, W.E. and wife. R.R. JENKINS of Chicago Junction delivered a temperance address in the Delphi church last Sunday eve. The attendance was satisfactory. Mrs. RIBER of Celeryville was a caller in Delphi last Sunday. Mrs. R. has 7 sons and no doubt W.B. ROSS anticipated our neighborhood's need of help. Thanks to W.B. AARON BLACK who is assisting GEO. BRINSON husk corn, used Tuesday as a holiday and visited his friends in Delphi. We are always glad to sit down and have a chat with him. LIZZIE CARSON of Mansfield, visited her mother from Wednesday until Sunday. Her mother expects to leave in the near future to spend the winter with her daughter, AGNES, in Baltimore.

After a married life of 25 years last Thursday night, Oct. 15, our hustling neighbor, B.A. BOARDMAN and wife, were almost caught napping by their children, relatives and friends to the number of almost 60, who rushed in on them to tell them that they had dropped in as a surprise to help them celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. The evening was spent in social chat, games, feasting and giving of remembrances, and at a late hour bid the genial bride and groom good luck and many more anniversaries. L.D. CRUM was operated on recently for the removal of pus from his lungs and at present is a great sufferer and the probabilities are that he may not be long with us. There is one thing of which we are fully cognizant whether his time here be long or short, his life has been a splendid contribution to our community. He has been closely connected with all the departments of the church. He stood for many years at the head of the Sunday Schools of the township, as S.S. superintendent, most always a teacher served several years as teacher in the public schools. He was not selfish to his own church and community but he and his devoted wife were always inspiring in the missionary society. We have found him conservative, generous and kind. He believes in Paul to the Galatians, "If a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual restore such as one in the spirit of meekness, consider thyself, lest thou also be tempted." The writer has always found him a trusted advisor and counselor. The young people always loved him and trusted him. The fact is L.D. CRUM's path through life is marked with deeds of kindness. Truth is the inspiration of his life, and by kindness he is showing forth its matchless worth. Our hope and prayer is that God may spare him to earth, not as a sufferer, but as a healed worker. We need such men. ------------------------------------------- Transcribed and submitted by Amy E. Armstrong ([email protected]) --------------------------------------------
