I am looking for any information on Brubakers and/or Cassels in and/or near Lorain, Ohio. My grandfather, Erastus Bierbauer Jones Brubaker, born 1886 in Pennsylvania, lived in Lorain in 1918. The story in the family is that first wife died around 1912 in Pennsylvania and he moved to live with relatives (either Brubakers or Cassels) in Lorain (there is some mention also of Elyria). He married his second wife there and 1918 when he registered for the draft he lived on on 30th Street in Lorain, and was working for the National Tube Company. His second wife died, and by 1920 he had returned to Pennsylvania where he met and married my grandmother. He had an older half-sister whose maiden name (surname also Brubaker) who had moved to Ohio so he may ahve moved to be near her. His mother's maiden name was Cassel, so there might have been Cassel relatives as well. Thank you.

I am hoping someone can uncover information regarding Orlando ALLEN, Jr. and his wife, Mary (Pittinger) ALLEN, and Orlando's sister Harriet ("Hattie") and Hattie's husband William Morris LITTLE, all of whom lived in Lorain from at least 1899-1914. Orlando and his sister Hattie were natives of Wallaceburg, Ontario. Their mother, also named Mary Allen, died at Lorain in 1914. Hattie's husband, William Morris Little, was a real estate agent, and I believe they lived in Lorain as late as 1931.

I recently located Peter Peterson in Lorain County. He lived in the Westview area of Columbia Township, was born about 1837/1838 in Sweden, obtained a marriage license on 21 Sep 1867, and had a daughter named Hannah on 16 Feb 1873. Beyond this, I have not been able to locate a death record or cemetery location for him. I am most anxious to find out what city in Sweden he came from, as well as the names of his parents, so I am hoping that his actual marriage record and/or some church records and/or a death record will give the names of his parents and that city in Sweden. Are there any other records in Lorain County that might give this information or the year he arrived in Lorain County? Which cemeteries would a person living in Westview likely be buried in? Which churches would have been attended by people living in Westview and Columbia Township? Would these churches possibly have been in Berea? Does the local library have a collection of obituaries for this area? We do not know when he died, but believe it was before 1900. Your help will be most appreciated. Sincerely,

My maternal grandmother and grandfather lived at 2918 Elyria Avenue, Lorain, OH between 1915 & 1919. By that time they would have had 3 children (2 from PopPop's first wife (who died one week after giving birth to my Uncle Henry). My Aunt Tessie (Cheslova) was born in Philadelphia, PA in 1908. I know PopPop Alek was remarried in 1915 in Philadelphia. My Mom was born in Philadelphia in 1921 and her Mom (Victoria Januszewska Galaska) died 16 months later. Where? I don't know. I do know PopPop's "Declaration of Intention" gave an address (above) where they lived. Given some time, I know I'll find more information.

Am looking for information for my friend, Jean Bouvier Rice. She had a great uncle who had two sons Donald and Walter Sala - both died young - one in 1907, one in 1906 according to Ridgelawn Cemetary inscription on the Elyria site. Her mother indicated to her that these two were twins (although inscription dates would not substantiate this) and died after a streetcar accident. Would like to know if someone has a list of the casualties from the Memorial Day 1907 Streetcar accident in Elyria. Any help in confirming this information would be appreciated. Thank you much.

Josephine (b. 26 December 1906), Max (b. 5 October 1908) and Walter were born in Lorain while the others were born in Rochester, New York. ... Walter appears in the 1910 census as a 2-month old BUT he does not appear in the 1920 or 1930 censuses. ... The librarian at the Western Reserve Historical Society told me there was a widespread case of diphtheria between 1908 and 1915. ... Contacted St. Casimir Church on Sowinski Ave. in Cleveland where I believed Josephine (my grandmother), Max and Walter belonged but there are no records on file. They resided on East 32nd Street. ...

I have been researching the BUCKLEY surname for some time now. My GGGrandfather Lewis Edwin BUCKLEY was b. in Henrietta Lorain Co. Ohio abt 1834. I have always believed that his father was Lorenzo BUCKLEY, because his death certificate stated his father was Lorenzo BUCKLEY and his Mother was Julia STRONG. Lorenzo BUCKLEY m. Julia HOLCOMB in Henrietta, Lorain Co. in 1833. I didn't pay much attention to the mothers maiden name, that could have been a mistake by the giving party. I believe that Lorenzo's father was Adad BUCKLEY, and his Grandfather was Medad BUCKLEY of Lorain Co. Ohio. I found Lorenzo, 33 and Julia, 31 BUCKLEY in 1850 Groton, Tompkins Co., NY living with his mother Clarissa 60 BUCKLEY, Clarissa is a family name. I also found them in 1860 Germansburgh, Tompkins Co., NY Lorenzo, 43, Juliette A.41, Almond M 8, William H 5, Lorenzo H 5, Hiram H 3, and Clarissa 71. But if this is my Lorenzo and Julia they would have had two families of children. The first was Lewis, Lorenzo, Jane, Mary, and Julia, they all were married in Ionia and Montcalm Co. MI. Lewis fought in the Civil War in some pretty bad battles, and Lorenzo died in the Civil War and is buried in Keokuk, Iowa He left a wife Ann CASWELL, BUCKLEY, son George BUCKLEY, and daughter Clarissa BUCKLEY. My Lewis BUCKLEY had a daughter that he named after the town he was b. Henrietta. I have found Adad BUCKLEY, Medad BUCKLEY in the NY census. Do you think it might be likley that Lorenzo and Julia could have left their first children in MI. for some reason like maybe the death of someone and just never got back to them?

I'm looking for information about James ALLEN family. I found in 1860 census, he was living in Wellington, Loraine County. He may be my family link to Ethan Allen and membership in the DAR. Our family legend said that we are related to Ethan Allen of Green Mt. boys through David's mother Sarah Allen. The obit of David Newton Howe stated that he was sent to live with his Grandfather when he was 7. He would have been 12 in 1860. The 1860 census listed David Howe age 12 living with James ALLEN. David Newton Howe is my grandfather and since he was born in 1848 in Stark County, Ohio I must find the paper trail of evidence. I would appreciate any information.

Looking for 4-ggrandfather, Daniel Lester Marshall, who, according to his obituary, is said to have been born "near Cleveland, Ohio" about 1821, son of Enos Marshall. His parents supposedly died young, and he was then raised in the family of Thomas Lincoln, Utica, New York. Daniel married Susan Puffer at Boonville, Oneida, New York, on 8 Feb 1848. The family moved west to Phillips Co., Kansas, where Daniel died 11 Feb 1887. It is likely the Marshall family originally migrated from New York.

I am trying to find anyone who might know what land Nicholas and Christina Shedrom (name as spelled on tombstone) might have owned before their deaths in 1913 and 1933 respectively. They lived in Lorain OH, Black River per the census records and birth records I found. They are my husband's maternal great-grandparents. His mother was named for her grandmother. Much of his family lives around Millersburg, but we live in Sheffield Township. We started searching last summer and I finally found them buried in Amherst Cleveland Street Cemetery with 2 sons, after a relative said she had heard they were buried in Amherst. What a wonderful surprise for my husband after thinking he was the only family member in Lorain County. Christina's maiden name it turned out was Aschenbach and they are buried near them. We are having a Finney family reunion here in July and a Shedron reunion in August in Millersburg. I would like to be able to tell or show them where Nicholas and Christina lived. The last name has had several spellings over the years — Schedron, Schedrun, Schedrum, Shedrom (Nick used this) and the current Shedron. I work Monday through Friday and it may be hard to get to the place I need to go to research this. Where should I start? I did learn that a daughter Anna contested and fought Nicholas' will for many years. Christina went to live with her children after Nick died. I did research the very old birth records in the Probate department once. Thank you!! Thank you!!

I am looking to document my Indian Heritage as well as find out the rest of my family history. My grandmother, Estella Mildred WARD was full blooded Indian from the Cuyahoga/Cayuga (not sure of the spelling), branch of the Erie Indians. She married a John Nicholas SCHMIDT who later changed his last name to SMITH. They had 4 boys and 1 daughter: John, Frank, Charles, Edward and Estella. My father was John Charles (he later found out when he retired that his real middle name was Nicholas like his father) Smith. John was the eldest and was born in 1895. I have a picture of her. My Grandmothers name was Caroline Louise (DAILEY) SCHAEFER. Her father was Doctor DAILEY who was also married to an Indian Girl from the Blackfoot tribe. (I would like to know more about her too, at least her name). I would like to know Dr. Dailey's first name and his linage if possible. Caroline DAILEY (my grandmother) married Joseph Peter SCHAEFER and had 1 boy and 1 girl, Theodore Joseph (birthday 5-01-1906) and Thelma Helen (birthday 8-05-1908), (Thelma is my mother) I would like information about any of the families relating to Doctor DAILEY and my grandmother Caroline Louise Dailey, if possible. My Grandmother and Grandfather SCHAEFER owned either the oldest or one of the oldest farms in Avon Lake. I believe it was either on Sheffield Rd. or Stoney Creek Rd. The museum was looking for a picture of the farm (I have the only one in my possession) when they did a piece on the oldest farms in the area. I would like to know the name of the Street, or possibly the address where the farm use to be. Doctor Dailey had a family grave plot in the Garfield Cemetery in Sheffield Village, Ohio on Detroit Rd (Rt. 254). I was told he is buried there along with some of my other relatives. I would like to know who is buried there, names, birth and death. My father John SMITH married Thelma Helen (DAILEY) SCHAEFER and had 2 girls and 2 boys. John (was born stillborn, I would like to know where he is buried), Thelma Mildred, Thrane Richard, and myself Estella Carol. Only my sister Thelma and myself, Estella are living. I would greatly appreciate any help available to me. Sandy Gifford and Taylor J. Smith have been very helpful and I am deeply grateful for all the help they have given me so far. Is there an Indian Council that could help me with my Indian Heritage? I would appreciate any information as to how to contact them. Estella Bonds, 729 M-55, Tawas City, MI 48763

I am looking for information regarding the person of August KNUTH born Germany ca. 1846-1848 who may have died in Lorain County. I have reason to believe that August KNUTH was still living in 1906. At that time his name was mentioned in an estate file for his second wife, Mattie (Martha) Boyd KNUTH who died in Cleveland. August lived most of his life (after his immigration) in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County; however, I have not been able to locate a death date or burial place in Cuyahoga County. A check of the Cleveland City Directories, 1894-1911 do not list him. Can anyone help me find August KNUTH's whereabouts, especially his date of death and burial place? Thank you.
