KRATZ
Looking for additional information for a family that has been identified
in the 1870 Census Index for Black River Township (now the city of Lorain,
OH). It showed John KRATZ - age 49, a farmer; Mary - 46, keeping
house; next it looks like Christian - 22 male, under occupation it was
illegible word on the farm; next Henry - 20 male and ditto marks under
on the farm. All those were born Hesse-Darmstadt. Then Elizabeth - 16 female;
Catherine? - 14 female; next two females whose names could not be made
out - the 12 year old appears to start with a D, and a 3 year old looks
like Aoseinal. Is that even a name? All four females were born in OH.
Information I have indicates this family lived on a farm near Elyria OH when they left Germany and arrived in America, about 1852. John and Mary Kratz were my gr-gr-grandparents and Henry Kratz was my gr-grandfather. Sometime between 1870 and 1875, they moved to southwest MI (Berrien County), where my grandfather was born in 1876.
I am trying to locate the whereabouts of this family during the time
period of 1852-1870. Their names did not appear in the 1860 Census
Index for Lorain County. Maybe they were living in a neighboring
county? If you can help provide further information concerning this family,
I would be much appreciative. THANK YOU!

CHUBB, DYER
I'm looking for the parents of Joel CHUBB who married Sarah Ann
(Sally) DYER in Geouga, OHIO. Joel was born 1 Aug 1808 in New York. He
married Sally DYER 18 November 1832. Their first five children, Claret
Ann, Philena Jane, James Harvey, Horace Wheeler and Jsoeph Watson were
all
born in Lorain, Black River Twp. between 1833 and 1842. By
1843, this family was in Winnebago Co., Illinois. Sarah Ann DYER was the
daughter of James DYER. They came from Stockton, Chautauqua, New York.
I cannot find James DYER in the 1830 census and wonder if he was in Ohio
by then. In the 1820 census he is listed with 7 females, one his wife (age
26-44); two daughters, Sarah and her sister, Lucinda; plus five females
(daughters?) that I haven't been able to identify.
If Sarah married in Ohio, then isn't it resonable to think one or
two of her sisters did too? The unidentified daughters would have been
age over 25 in 1830, two between 20 and 25 and two between 10 and 20.
Thanks,

GERMOND, WORLINE
The following obituary of George B. GERMOND appeared in the Tiffin
Weekly Tribune, Tiffin, Seneca Co., Ohio on 23 Aug 1883. George B. Germond
was the son of Isaac Germond and Lydia Raymond Germond. He was born in
Fostoria, Ohio in 1850 and died near Oberlin, Lorain Co., OH. I am posting
this obituary because there is no official record of his death on file
in Lorain County. Although the obituary doesn't mention his survivors,
he was survived by his wife, Amanda WORLINE Germond, and daughter, Maudelle
Germond (later Maudelle Walk). He was also survived by his mother, Lydia
Raymond Germond (1816-1895); his half-brother Granville S. Germond, of
Michigan and half-sister, Amanda Germond Willey, of Harlan, IA. He was
predeceased by his father, Isaac Germond (1796-1874) and two younger brothers
who died as children, Hiram R. Germond (b. abt 1851 d. 1862) and Albert
Germond (b. abt.1852 d. 1862) If anyone is researching this family line
and wants to
exchange information, you can contact me.
"George GERMOND, a pioneer
residence of Fostoria, was killed by the cars near Oberlin, O., on Thursday
last. He had been to Kipton, five miles west, and when within two miles
of Oberlin on his return, sat down on the track and was struck by train
No. 15 and instantly killed. His remains were
brought to this city* and interred in our cemetery** on Friday afternoon.
Germond was for a number of years an attorney in Toledo. A few months ago
he removed to Oberlin. The unfortunate man had many warm, charitable friends
here, who regret the manner of his untimely taking off." *Fostoria, Ohio,

MYERS, EPPLER
There is a possibility that a Susan Elizabeth MYERS and Jacob EPPLER
were the parents of my Grandmother, Elizabeth Ann MYERS (b March 1886/7)
and that she had a brother by the name of Lorin Abram EPPLER ( b ca 27
Nov 1883). NO PROOF as of yet; just coincidental circumstances. Lorin
told a similar story to HIS descendants ~ his mother was Susan Elizabeth
MYERS (born
30 Mar 1860) and an INDIAN by the name of Jacob EPPLER. Mother remarried
a man by the name of J. Russell LAWRENCE (before 1889). Susan lived in
Brighton, Lorain County, Ohio and Florence Township, Erie County, Ohio.
Children b to her marriage to LAWRENCE include: Margaret ca 1888, Melissa
ca 1890, Theodora ca 1892, Lucina ca 1893, Agatha ca 1899, Walter J. Lawrence
bc 1900
Other possible MYERS children found on the 1900 Florence Township,
Erie County, Ohio Census living in other surname homes included: Montana
Myers ca 1878 ~ living with the Parker Family,
Arthur Myers ca 1882 ~ living with the Jarrett Family as a laborer,
Lorin Eppler ca 1883 was also found on this census living with the CLARYFamily
as a servant. I'm thinking these three may have been brothers(?) of Elizabeth
Ann Myers.
If anyone out there knows of a similar story, can place any of the
above folks in Stark or Lorain County, or can RULE OUT this possibility
by telling me more about about Susan Elizabeth, Jacob EPPLER, Lorin Abram
EPPLER or J. Russell LAWRENCE, or any of the folks listed above please
feel free to e-mail me. Thanks,

identify her parents. I haven't might any progress with the MAYNARD
branch of the family so I don't have a clue. Would death records
in 1896 possibly include her parents in Lorain
Co. I would appreciate any information. Thanks,

MYERS, HISCOX
I am searching for information on the surname Myers. My great
grandmother, Elizabeth Myers, was born March 15, 1887 to a lady she called
"(Mrs.) Myers" and "An Indian". According to her there were 8 children
born to (Mrs.) Myers. The children were adopted/indentured out when
(Mrs.) Myers remarried a gentleman who did not want the responsibility
of raising (Mrs.) Myers children. Gramma recalls being born in "New
Philadelphia". When she was "adopted" out she lived in Silver Creek,
Medina, Ohio with a family by the name of Hiscox. She learned all
that she knew of her family of origin from neighbors of her "adopted" family
in Medina. I have reason to believe Gramma's biological mother may
have lived in Loraine County. If any of this sounds familiar, please feel
free to e-mail me. Thanks, Cherre,

GARAY, CHERVERKA, MOCSNY
I am researching my MOCSNY family who emigrated from Slovakia (then
Austria-Hungary) in the early 1900s and lived the rest of their lives in
Elyria. I have found my great-grandparents, Andrew and Mary were buried
in Ridgelawn Cemetary in the 1930s. Now I am looking for their relatives
whose
surnames are CHERVENKA (also spelled Cherbank on 1920 census) and
GARAY (also
seen as Gary). In particular, Rose Garay born in 1877, Helen Chervenka
born in 1881, and Louis Chervenka born in 1881, are who I am interested
in. Bless you if you can find any of these or others with their surnames.
I'm guessing that since they were related, Ridgelawn Cemetary would be
a safe bet. Thank you in advance! I wish that I could be there to research
in person.

BATEMAN
I am looking for any information or any descendants of Enoch
BATEMAN and

in Elyria: Enoch is in the 1880 census of Elyria; Info reads: 773/802
BATEMAN, Enoch white, male, 51 years old, married (possible bigamist)
and
in the box Blind there is a slash to indicate that he was blind!!!
Born in
England, sheargrinder, Parents born in England.
BATEMAN, Lena (Selina) , white, female, 35 years old, wife, married,
born in England, housewife, Parents born in England.
BATEMAN, Laura, white, female, age 15, daughter, single, born in
New Jersey (USA) at school. Parents born in England.
BATEMAN, Anna, white, female, age 11, daughter, single, born in
Connecticut (USA) at school. Parents born in England.
BATEMAN, Fred, white, male age 1, son, single, born in Ohio, Parents
born in England.
The other 3 children, Albert, Joseph, Horace were born in Ohio after
1880. Albert was still in Elyria as of the 1899 telephone directory. They
lived on Woodruff Rd. (I'm pretty sure).
Enoch died on Sept. 6, 1899, aged 71 years old from diabetes ( reason
for blindness) in the Infirmary in Elyria or Carlisle (just ditto
marks on the death register, so not sure) I would love to find out
where he is buried and also what happened to the rest of the family. I
know that Laura married a John STOTHER and in 1910 there were living in
Sandusky, Ohio and had 2 children (census info). Anna bought a house
in Elyria, (document found at record office). I could not find any death
certificates for anyone other than Enoch as I have no clue as to when they
may have died. Enoch is my g.g.grandfather and
I would really love to find out what happened to the family and all. Thank
you.
