On daughter Lizzie's death information from

OH.
From Book Fulton Co. IN newspaper Excerpts

Andrew Fike's pension records show the following;
Died January 9, 1925, Necedah, Juneau Co., Wi, He served 9 months in the
Civil War during 1864, He was born November 4, 1838, Cleveland,
OH. Arpil 29, 1939- Nancy Susan
Fike lived with Dave Pigeon family in New Lisbon, Juneau Co., WI.
(Daughter-Lydia's family). On one page
it mentions her son William
cashing her $300.,, check unbeknown to Nancy
Fike. About July 1937 Nancy
Fike lived at 1327 or 327 Dewey Court in Madison, Dane Co.,
WI. On August 8, 1937 the address of Nancy S. Fike was changed
fro Neola, WI to 1327 Deuey Crt. Madison, Dane Co.,
WI. Nancy was accepted as the widow of Andrew
Fike and her birth date was accepted as January 5,
1865. There is also a
mention of Nancy's house being destroyed by fire, and a note written by William
Fike giving his address as 1327 Dewy Crt, Madison, Dane Co., WI and the date
of the request was June 28, 1937, and he requested Nancy's pension checks
be transferred to his (William's) address. There was also a plea for more
money from the pension written from William. It includes Andrew Fikes death
certifiacate mentioned elsewhere on these notes and Nancy's application for
Widows Pension which will be mentioned elsewhere in these
notes. On
another page of the pension records it states that Andrew was married to
a Jane McDonald-April 29, 1882. It
stated that Andrew and Nancy Fike lived together as husband and wife from
the time of their marriage to the time of Andrew's
death. The
marriage of Andrew to Mary Ann Fike was Annulled, and there was a separation
of him and his first wife Augusta D.
Fike. Andrew enlisted
in the Civil War, when he lived at Rochester, Fulton Co.,
IN, Andrew's first
marriage was to Augusta D. Nafe
and they divorced and Andrew did not show up for the
divorce. His second
marriage was to a Mary Ann Fike, January 27, 1880. That marriage was
annulled. His third marriage
was to a Jane McDonald, in Sauk Co., WI. She had previously been married
and her husband had disappeared and he was thought drowned. Her husband was
found and returned and her marriage to Andrew Fike was invalidated and Jane
joined her first
husband.
The declaration of Pension-dated July 20, 1922 gives Andrew Fike as
age 81, born September 4, 1840 in Columbus, Oh, He is five feet 5 1/2 inches
tall and brown hair, occupation-laborer, he resided in Ironton, Sauk Co.,
WI for 20 years and lived in New Lisbon, Juneau Co., WI about 6 years and
in Necedah, Juneau Co., WI for 9 months.
He has the following diabilities:
heart, cataract, and prostate and senility. Andrew signs his name
with his mark which is an X, and his wife is mentioned as Susan Fike, formery
Susan Boyer. He
states on one page that his first wife, Augusta Nafe died 9 months following
their marriage. On
another page dated September 29, 1913 his age is 73 and he lives at Baraboo,
Sauk Co., WI and he was born Columbus, OH September 4, 1840 and was age 21
when he enlisted in the war. He
stated that the family kept records in a Bible but the Bible burned in a
file in Fulton Co., IN when Andrew was age
5.
He stated that after the Civil War was over in 1865
his father went back to Ohio where they use to live and found the date of
his birth and that his mother died in 1865 and his father in
1878. To the best of Andrew's knowledge he is age 73 on
September 4, 1913.
The marriage of Andrew and Mary Ann Riprogle
is June 7, 1874. This comes from the Sauk Co., WI marriage
records.
Also in the pension records Andrew stated
October 4, 1913 the he was born in Columbus, Ohio on September 4, 1840 and
when he was 6 weeks old his parents moved to what was called Indian Fields.
That was 10 miles North of Rochester, IN (Fulton Co.,) and they lived there
until I (Andrew) was drafted in 1864. Rochester, IN was a trading post and
we lived 1/2 mile south of the Tippacanoe River and that was where our house
burned down. His parents then took up their homestead and lived there till
they died-mother died 1865 and father died 1878 and I do not know of a brother
or sister that is living. They
always lived on the homestead until their death. His father's name was Leonard
Fike and his mother's name was Catherine. Between the dates 1850 and 186
he lived with the folks.
