Hi Tom, Here are the obituaries for Nicholas Burtscher and his wife Susan which I promised to send as I found time to type them. Also included is a listing of the Burtscher stones which are found in the St. Wendelin Catholic Cemetery in Fostoria, Ohio. I hope that these items are helpful to you. Don Rogier -------------------------------------- St. Wendelin Catholic Cemetery, Fostoria, Ohio Burtcher, Philip Feb. 8, 1826 - Apr. 29, 1898 Burtscher, Eugene (son of C. H.) Aug. 17, 1903 - Mar. 21, 1904 Burtscher, James B. Mar. 19, 1894 -Jan. 10, 1958 Burtscher, Margaret (W. of Philip) 54 y. - July 30, 1884 Burtscher, Martha (W. of William) Dec. 1860 - Mar. 15, 1939 Burtscher, Mary (W of Phillip) Jan. 28, 1851 - Jan. 6, 1891 Burtscher, William Mar. 20, 1859 - Jan. 27, 1941 -------------------------------------- Fostoria Daily Review, Fostoria, Ohio, Monday, August 19, 1912; p.4 col. 3 N. BURTSCHER GONE WAS LIFELONG DEMOCRAT AND SERVED BOTH COUNTY AND CITY MANY YEARS HAD FAITH IN FOSTORIA Another of Fostoria's pioneer citizens crossed the great divide this morning about six o'clock in the person of Nicholas Burtscher who had been suffering the past nine days with Bright's disease. He had been in a comatose state the greater part of his illness. The funeral services will be held from the late home at 217 west Center street at two p.m. Wednesday conducted by Dr. C. W. Barnes, pastor of the First M. E. church. The Elks will attend in a body and show their respect to one of their most valued brothers. Mr. Burtscher's career was varied and his continued success in life shows what can be done by one who has the qualities of determination and progressiveness as did the one now mourned by many relatives and friends. The deceased was born in Prussia December 6, 1838, making his age seventy-three years, eight months, and thirteen days. he came to America with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Adam Burtscher at the age of one year and they settled at Maumee, O. At the age of nineteen years the subject of the sketch walked to Fostoria and first entered the employ of Herbert Bettinger, proprietor of a hotel where the Hays Annex now stands on east Tiffin street. Mr. Burtscher then learned the blacksmith trade and followed it for a number of years when he entered the grocery business. He saw the public need of ice and sold and delivered the first ice sold in this city. Returning to the grocery business, he opened a store now occupied by the Busy Bee restaurant and in 1876 built the Burtscher business block in the center of the business district. He was elected street commissioner in 1881 and for many years was a partner in the shoe firm of Burtcher & Ash at the corner of Center and Main streets. Two terms of county commissioner were filled acceptably and he was appointed to fill an unexpired term, making his service in that capacity seven years. During Mayor C. C. Anderson's term Mr. Burtscher was appointed to fill the unexpired term of J. F. Peter on the board of public service and devoted his time almost exclusively to the city's interests. This practically wound up his official and business career and since that time he had practically retired from active life, although much of his time was later taken up with the improvement of the Burtscher-McDonel tract of land east of the Hocking Valley tracks. His last enterprise was the building of a bridge across the Portage creek west of the reservoir. His never failing faith in Fostoria's future was shown by the acquirement of much valuable business property and that this faith remained steadfast was recently shown by his purchase of the interest of his partners in the McDonel & Burtscher addition, mentioned above. The deceased was married forty-nine years ago to Susan A. Bare, of this city. She died five years ago. Four children were born to this union: Emma, wife of A. C. Ash of this city, Charles, of Washington, D.C.; Frank, of this city, and George, who died in 1892. The following grandchildren also survive: Florence and Robert Ash, Charles and Nicholas Burtscher, of Washington, Helen and park Burtscher, of this city. Mr. Burtscher was a life-long Democrat, and at the conclusion of his public service as county commissioner was presented with a chair as a token of esteem by his associate county officers. Probably few men of this city had a larger acquaintanceship and he was friendly to all irrespective of their age, condition in life, or creed and was affectionately called "Daddy" by young and old alike. -------------------------------------- Fostoria Review-Dispatch, Fostoria, Ohio, Thurs., December 20, 1906; p. 8, col. 3 Pioneer Resident Dead Susan, the wife of Nicholas Burtscher, died at the family residence, Saturday evening at about four o'clock, of diabetes, her last illness being of six weeks duration, although she has been in failing health for several months. The deceased was the daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Bair, and was born near Hanover, Pa., in 1834. with her parents she came to this section when she was fourteen years of age, traveling in wagons. the family settled on a farm in Jackson township, near Rehobeth, and there she spent her girlhood days, and taught thirty-four terms of school in that vicinity and across the line in Wood county. She was married in 1862 to Nicholas Burtscher, and to this union there came four children: George, who died several years ago, Messrs. Frank and Charles Burtscher, of this city and Mrs. Emily Ash of Toledo. Mr. and Mrs. Burtscher resided in the present home thirty-five years and it was the great desire of Mrs. Burtscher's life to surround herself with everything bright and beautiful, and in her home hospitalities were generously extended to rich and poor alike. Our subject was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of this city, she having joined by letter from Rehobeth church where she first became a member. Besides her immediate family, she is survived by six grandchildren, one brother Jacob Bair, of West Millgrove, and Mrs. Lydia Ann Wollam of Jerry City. The funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, conducted by Dr. J. Foster Harshbarger, assisted by Rev. Eli Febles. Friends of the family can view the remains tomorrow morning from nine to twelve o'clock.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Rootsweb search engine. I discovered this last night myself, hadn't used it before. Would recommend it to all--sure a time-saver, as opposed to going to each county you think your ancestor is located in & searching the records yourself. Alice USGenWeb CC for Seneca Co.

Hi All, My name is Dan Oakleaf and grew up in Seneca County Ohio...1955-1974. I am at a dead end looking for any more information on George Eichenlaub (1805 to ?)....Specific information...(Eichenlaub translated to Oakleaf after arrival to the USA). If anyone can help me with any of the following information, I would greatly appreciate it. 1) What town (for sure) didhe came from in Germany or France. If it was Neoduredorn France [was Germany] (?) what documentation in print, shows that? 2) Where (what port) and when (what date) did he leave Germany/France and where (what port) and when (what date) did he arrive in the USA? 3) Did he come through New York at Ellis Island? 4) Did anyone (spouse, children, etc.) come with him? If so who? 5) Did he settle temporarily in New York? Possibly was it Lyons, Galen Township? Do you have any info on this? I show a George there, but no additional data. If so, how long and where and what dates? 6) Did he settle in Pennsylvania anywhere? If so, where (same questions as #5 above)? 7) Where does his son Jacob come in....I believe he may have come frome the same town in germany/france? 8) Did he settle temporarily in Michigan? I have some basic land records that show him (if it is the same George) in Newago County at 1850. He later showed up in St. Joseph County Colon Township (Centerville Mich) when his grandson Daniel (my great grandfather) was born. Do you have any more info on this? 9) Where did he go? Did he migrate to Wisconsin? Where did he die? 10) Where did his son Jacob go? Did he go to Wisconsin? Where did he die also? I show no records of Jacob or George in Ohio....one of the only originating points I know of where Oakleafs came in to Ohio early was Seneca County, Scipio Twp where Valentine Eichenlaub Sr.(Oakleaf) bought a plot of land....was in the 1850 Ohio Census. Perhaps George visited his son Valentine (Sr.), but there was no records of land, residence, etc. Please help if you can....I'm very interested in how tho get this informatio n, if it exists.

Kathy, Although I don't have any information on the Lanes, I can do look-ups for you at the Tiffin-Seneca Library. I actually drive through Fort Seneca on my way to that library. Most of my family is from that area and I will be going there to look through the information they have on hand. There are various town histories (some with pictures), census records, birth/death and marriage records there. If you're interested, let me know through the list or my e-mail.

Hi! I am new to this list. I am looking for information on Martin Lane who lived in Pleasant Township, Fort Seneca, OH. This would be in the year of 1830. He was a Indian interpreter and was a early settler. I found reference to him in the History of Seneca County. In the chapter of Seneca's Red Pioneers. There was mention of a Judge Lane in the same year. I am wondering if the two Lanes were related. Is there anyone who has more info on this Martin Lane? Kathy in AR

New to list: I am searching for descendants of Barbara FEINDEL who married Henry STRENG in 1864. Their children: Mary who married Jacob KIESEL; Katie who married George KISSABERTH; Sarah who married William DE WALD; Leydia who married Clem BECK; Eva who married Joseph SHAFERLY; Harry; and William Streng. I have some family photos that I am trying to identify, so would love to connect with anyone in this family. By the way Barbara Feindel was previously married to Jacob SCHUBACH with children John Fredrick b. 1860 and Susan b. 1862, who married Adam HELFREICH. Jacob Schubach died in a farming accident in 1862. Nola in Indiana

Wow - this service is over $250 from several Genetic research companies! I wish they were doing it here. For more info on this, do a web search for "genealogy DNA" By all means, do it. -Ben At 12:32 PM -0500 11/10/00, Ron Hatton wrote: >Thought maybe some of you would be interested in new things that have come >along.
