Ella Anna Gross (Annie) B. Abt 1854 in Ohio M. to Joseph Aaron Durflinger Aug 1870 in De Witt, Il 1880 census has Annie, Joseph and a Daughter living in Van Wert county, Ohio Feb 1900 died at home. Children are: Charles (believe he died in infancy) John Wesley (M. Addie Williams) Roscoe Avery (M. Nellie Wolford) Ella Hestella (M. Samuel Hendrickson) I have checked numerous spellings for the last name, looked at both Ohio and Illinois census for 1870 but nothing fits for her. By 1900 census she has died. I have the obit for her but it says nothing about her family or really her. I have run into a dead end regarding the rest of her Family. I would like to know where in Ohio she was born and who her Parents are. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
