Mr. Huffman arose Monday morning about 6:25 o 'clock went to the basement to fix the fire and later started the morning meal. He left the house and did not return. Mrs. Huffman arose and was about the house as usual when Mr. Barnes called for her husband . She went to the barn to search for him and not finding him returned to the house.

107	(Research):Hiram is living with his Uncle Samuel in 1880	Hawkins, Hiram (I16322)
108	(Research):I am assuming that Mary is the daughter of Austin and Rusha because she is only about two years older than her sister Nancy. On the other hand, Nancy and her could be the same child.	Saunders, Mary E. (I13876)
109	(Research):I cannot find Jefferson before the 1870 census. Either he went by something else or they have him indexed wrong. Further research is required. According to the find a grave website Jefferson was born in 1816 and died in 1892. Brenda Goldy submitted this information. I would like to see the gravestone or something to verify this information before putting it into my file.	Vice, Jefferson Divers (I7040)
110	(Research):I do not know if the dates of birth and death is correct. Although he is buried with Mary Dawson, it is assumed that William A is abe turner . The dates came from the Edens Chapel Cemetery in Fleming County Kentucky	Turner, Addison (I6804)
111	(Research):I don't know which sex this child actually is. In 1850 this child is listed as female and in 1860 they list the child as male. Could this child be the Melvina listed in the 1870 census with Ira and her brothers and sisters? The birth date is off by a couple of years, but I imagine that is who it is because of the middle initial of M.	Young, Welthy M. (I15243)
112	(Research):In 1880, Elizabeth has Thomas McKee living with her. He is 4 years old . They state that Thomas is her nephew. Who does he belong to ? Obviously, one of her brothers, but which one?	McKee, Elizabeth (I326)
113	(Research):In 1880, the head of the household is Neshac Story. Who is this ? Is it Amanda's father or is it some other relation since Amanda is a Story by birth. Elias has his nephew William living with him in 1900. Who are his parents and where are they?	McKee, Elias (I5778)
114	(Research):In 1900, Andrew and Mary Ellen are on the census with the last name of Pilcher. It appears that this is the family their daughter married into. Her son is listed as Ashton Brook but in later records he is a Pilcher.	Brooke, Andrew M. (I158)
115	(Research):In 1900, the census states that Mary is the mother of 7 children with only 6 of them living. Who is the seventh child?	Ingram, Mary Thomas (I13187)
116	(Research):In 1910 Elza Jones states that Georgia is his mother in law. I have found no indication where she was ever married or had children. I believe Katie may be her niece. Malinda and Orville Porter had a daughter in 1877 and she is in the 1880 Census with her grandparents. The only thing that stops me in recording this is there is a 2 year difference in when Katie was born. In the 1860 Census, Georgia is listed a s George Ann and listed as a male. All other census records indicate that this is a female. There are a couple of census records that listed her as George Ann instead of Georgia Ann.	Porter, Georgia Ann (I17008)
117	(Research):In 1910 this child is Lloyd and a male, in 1920 this child is Maud Loyd and a female.	Reasoner, John Lloyd (I20883)
118	(Research):In the 1870 Census Louis is listed as Lewis	Walls, Louis (I24268)
119	(Research):In the 1870 census, William is listed as being 38 when he should have been listed as 58. By 1870, his wife, Elizabeth has evidently passed because she is not listed within the household.	Williamson, William (I671)
120	(Research):In the 1900 Census, Hannah is widowed. It is also stated that she is the mother of 11 children, with 10 of these children living. Who is the 11th one? Hannah has a grand daughter and grandson living with her in 1900. Clay born August 1881 in Kentucky. And Rettie, born September 1895 in Kentucky. The mother of the children is Lena Rivers House Duncan. Why the census taker did not indicate on the census record that she was the mother of two children is unknown. But following through with Lena in the census records you find out that these are her children.	Porter, Hannah Jane (I9300)
121	(Research):In the 1900 Census, it states that Mary is the mother of 3 children, with 2 living.	Todd, Mary Jane (I10667)
122	(Research):In the death certificate, it is hard to read the Graveyard, so it could be another graveyard, but that is what it looks like to me. Ancestry has Mary's last name indexed as Formeret, however it looks like Ishmael to me. If someone can disprove this, do not hesitate to contact me.	Hunt, Mary A (I10233)
123	(Research):It is assumed that Abigail is Amelia's daughter. However, it is possible that she is Lydia's. However with Abigail being born in 1851, it is more likely that she is Amelia's daughter and that is what caused Amelia 's death.	Kelsay, Abigail (I13478)
124	(Research):It is assumed that William never married. I have never been able to find him in 1930. However, from 1880 - 1920 he is single.	Likes, William M (I3509)
125	(Research):It is most likely that Eliza had 1 or 2 children between Eva and Stella that did not survive. It appears that it was only one child as the 1900 Census states that Eliza "Lide" was the mother of 3 children with only 2 living. In Eliza's birth record Hillsboro is spelled Hillsborough. Either they changed the spelling of the city or it was misspelled - one of the 2. The 1910 Census has Eliza being born in 1854	Markwell, Eliza J. "Lide" "Lida" (I4589)
126	(Research):It seems that maybe Columbus is not Nancy's son since he was born in 1860. Further research is required to find out. According to the 1900 Census, Charles's father is born in Ohio and his mother is born in Maryland. This makes the possibility even stronger that Nancy is not his mother.	Moore, Charles Columbus (I3152)
127	(Research):James Alexander Lyons's death certificate states Morris was born in Virginia, but every census record states Kentucky.	Lyons, Morris C. (I16363)
128	(Research):James Alexander Lyons's death certificate states that Drusilla was born in Virgina, but every census states she was born in Kentucky.	Rawlings, Drusilla (I15029)
129	(Research):James and Francina have a grandson living with them in 1920. Paul Newl in born about 1908 in Indiana. Who is this child? Who does he belong to?	Mills, James E. (I19987)
130	(Research):James has a grandson living with him in 1910. Lorenzo Miller, born in 1902 in Kentucky. Who is his father? In documentation, the cemetery is listed as Foxport Graveyard.	Miller, James William (I15287)

133	(Research):John has two different death certificates. One has his mother as Margaret Arrasmith, the other has her as Elizabeth Arrasmith. There is two different informants. The first one was filed on July 1st.	Snedegar, John Wesley (I13867)
134	(Research):John Rehm Biography & His Descendents John Rehm states he arrived in the USA between 1847 and 1849 depending on which documentation you view. This would have made him approximately 15 to 16 years of age. We first find him living in Clinton Twp in the 1850 census. Then on the 15 Feb 1855 he takes Mercy Ann Aker (born Ohio) for his bride in LaPorte County. He eventually settles and buys land in the Section 35, New Durham township, which is located in the Southeast Corner of said twp. John and Mercy have the following children: Henry F. b. 19 July 1856 Mary b. abt 1857 m.George O. Le Clear 27 Feb 1878.

140	(Research):Louisa A Oliver, a granddaughter, is living with George and Louisa in 1900. She was born in August 1891 in Kentucky. According to the census both parents were born in Kentucky. Because of the last name of this grandchild, the mother has to be Melissa or Carolina. Unless it is one of the unnamed children that is the mother, but that is doubtful. The unnamed probably never made it to maturity. Based on the fact that Louisa, George's wife, stating that she is widowed in 1910, that is why the death date is set to before 1910.	Pugh, George M.

143	(Research):Martin Young was born May 13, 1841, in Erie County, Ohio. He is one of ten children born to Ira and Sophia (Crippin) Young, both natives of New York. The elder Young was a fisherman on Lake Erie for thirty years. Maternally, Mr. Young is of English descent, and paternally from Holland. When Martin was about five years of age, They came to Porter County, settling on "Twenty-Mile" Prairie. A sister of our subject was about the first school teacher of that settlement, and Judge Field was among her pupils. When about twenty-one years of age, Mr. Young enlisted in the Seventy-third Indiana, serving nearly three years, and participating in the famous battles of Stone River, Nashville, and on Col. Straight's raid through Georgia. After he was discharged, returning to Chesterton, he engaged in the meat market business; he has built up the leading trade in this part of the county. He is a member of the I. O. O. F. fraternity. Mr . Young is a Republican, but favors the financial theories of the National party. Mr. Young has one of the finest brick residences in the county, richly furnished, and with the luxuries of piano, organ, etc. He was married in 1862 to Mary J. Lansing, a native of Porter County. She is well educated, having been a teacher. They have one adopted child -Arthur.

145	(Research):Mary states that she is the mother of 7 children with 4 living. But with her being married, 3 times it is unknown who the deceased children belong to. In 1910, it states that the three children living with Hollis and Mary are Hollis's children. So it either is a mistake on the census takers' part or she was married previously to another Rhoden.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the Sandford Methodist Church where she was a member.She is survived by the husband, Omer, a son Ivan, a student at Purdue University, two daughters, Barbara Lee and Helen, both at home, and two sisters, Mrs. Harry Fuqua of Sandford and Mrs. Raymond Holbert of St Mary's Village.	Mahan, Bonnie (I12664)
149	(Research):Nathaniel and Dulcenia have a Heber Story living with them in 1910. It is stated that he is their grandson. Whose child is this?	Lytle, Nathaniel (I13081)
150	(Research):Note: The death certificate states that the burial date is on the 24th. From the years of research I highly doubt that they waited 12 days to bury him. I am more inclined to believe the 14th. I do believe that is what the death certificate should state, but since it does say the 24th, I am recording it as such until such a time that I have other documentation to disprove the 24th.	Shaw, William Alben (I7430)

(Research):In 1910 Elza Jones states that Georgia is his mother in law. I have found no indication where she was ever married or had children. I believe Katie may be her niece. Malinda and Orville Porter had a daughter in 1877 and she is in the 1880 Census with her grandparents. The only thing that stops me in recording this is there is a 2 year difference in when Katie was born. In the 1860 Census, Georgia is listed a s George Ann and listed as a male. All other census records indicate that this is a female. There are a couple of census records that listed her as George Ann instead of Georgia Ann.

(Research):In the 1870 census, William is listed as being 38 when he should have been listed as 58. By 1870, his wife, Elizabeth has evidently passed because she is not listed within the household.

(Research):In the 1900 Census, Hannah is widowed. It is also stated that she is the mother of 11 children, with 10 of these children living. Who is the 11th one? Hannah has a grand daughter and grandson living with her in 1900. Clay born August 1881 in Kentucky. And Rettie, born September 1895 in Kentucky. The mother of the children is Lena Rivers House Duncan. Why the census taker did not indicate on the census record that she was the mother of two children is unknown. But following through with Lena in the census records you find out that these are her children.

(Research):In the 1900 Census, it states that Mary is the mother of 3 children, with 2 living.

122

(Research):In the death certificate, it is hard to read the Graveyard, so it could be another graveyard, but that is what it looks like to me. Ancestry has Mary's last name indexed as Formeret, however it looks like Ishmael to me. If someone can disprove this, do not hesitate to contact me.

Hunt, Mary A (I10233)

123

(Research):It is assumed that Abigail is Amelia's daughter. However, it is possible that she is Lydia's. However with Abigail being born in 1851, it is more likely that she is Amelia's daughter and that is what caused Amelia 's death.

Kelsay, Abigail (I13478)

(Research):It is assumed that William never married. I have never been able to find him in 1930. However, from 1880 - 1920 he is single.

125

(Research):It is most likely that Eliza had 1 or 2 children between Eva and Stella that did not survive. It appears that it was only one child as the 1900 Census states that Eliza "Lide" was the mother of 3 children with only 2 living. In Eliza's birth record Hillsboro is spelled Hillsborough. Either they changed the spelling of the city or it was misspelled - one of the 2.
The 1910 Census has Eliza being born in 1854

Markwell, Eliza J. "Lide" "Lida" (I4589)

(Research):It seems that maybe Columbus is not Nancy's son since he was born in 1860. Further research is required to find out. According to the 1900 Census, Charles's father is born in Ohio and his mother is born in Maryland. This makes the possibility even stronger that Nancy is not his mother.

(Research):Louisa A Oliver, a granddaughter, is living with George and Louisa in 1900. She was born in August 1891 in Kentucky. According to the census both parents were born in Kentucky. Because of the last name of this grandchild, the mother has to be Melissa or Carolina. Unless it is one of the unnamed children that is the mother, but that is doubtful. The unnamed probably never made it to maturity. Based on the fact that Louisa, George's wife, stating that she is widowed in 1910, that is why the death date is set to before 1910.

(Research):Martin Young was born May 13, 1841, in Erie County, Ohio. He is one of ten children born to Ira and Sophia (Crippin) Young, both natives of New York. The elder Young was a fisherman on Lake Erie for thirty years. Maternally, Mr. Young is of English descent, and paternally from Holland. When Martin was about five years of age, They came to Porter County, settling on "Twenty-Mile" Prairie. A sister of our subject was about the first school teacher of that settlement, and Judge Field was among her pupils. When about twenty-one years of age, Mr. Young enlisted in the Seventy-third Indiana, serving nearly three years, and participating in the famous battles of Stone River, Nashville, and on Col. Straight's raid through Georgia. After he was discharged, returning to Chesterton, he engaged in the meat market business; he has built up the leading trade in this part of the county. He is a member of the I. O. O. F. fraternity. Mr . Young is a Republican, but favors the financial theories of the National party. Mr. Young has one of the finest brick residences in the county, richly furnished, and with the luxuries of piano, organ, etc. He was married in 1862 to Mary J. Lansing, a native of Porter County. She is well educated, having been a teacher. They have one adopted child -Arthur.

(Research):Mary states that she is the mother of 7 children with 4 living. But with her being married, 3 times it is unknown who the deceased children belong to. In 1910, it states that the three children living with Hollis and Mary are Hollis's children. So it either is a mistake on the census takers' part or she was married previously to another Rhoden.

(Research):Note: The death certificate states that the burial date is on the 24th. From the years of research I highly doubt that they waited 12 days to bury him. I am more inclined to believe the 14th. I do believe that is what the death certificate should state, but since it does say the 24th, I am recording it as such until such a time that I have other documentation to disprove the 24th.
