Margie, Was Sarah Andrews related to Perry Andrews? He was born 1827 OH & married 1/5/1851 to Sarah STRAIT. This family lived in Washington Twp., Adams Co.,IN. I think I may have asked you abt these folks before. :>)
Hi Folks,
I've run across another puzzle on the 1880 census for Root Twp. In the
household of George Cline and Rebecca (Pillars) is a grand child, Lillie
Baxter, age 5, born in Indiana. Does anyone know if Lillie would be the
daughter of Greenburry Baxter, son of Greenbury Baxter (Sr.) and Rebecca
Pillars (the same Rebecca now married to George Cline)? If so, do you
know who the mother of Lillie is?
The younger Greenberry was living in the household of Rebecca Pillars
Baxter (his mother) and her father William Pillars in 1860.
Thanks!

Was your Joseph Yoder born Oct 24, 1878 and died Feb 2, 1944? There were ten other siblings in his family? If so, contact me for their names and birthdates and deaths. Glad to help out,Pati
Does anyone have access to the 1900 Adams County census? If so, I really
need a lookup.
I'm trying to establish when my grandfather moved from Howard County to
Adams County. I know that he was living in either Geneva or Berne, Indiana
in 1908 with
his daughter.
His name was Allen D. Moore, and in 1908 he was living with his youngest
daughter, Edith Moore.
In 1900 his wife, Savannah, may still have been living, and if so, would be
listed
with them on the 1900 census. Thank you. Jules

This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it.
Typed by Lora Radiches:
Surnames in this biography are: Sprunger, Baumgartner, Neuenschwander, McCreery, Neuhauser, Leichty, Niederhauser, Schug,
GROVER W. SPRUNGER represents the third generation of one of the oldest and most substantial families of Adams County. The Sprungers, like so many others, came originally from Switzerland, are of the Mennonite Church faith, were sturdy farmers in the pioneer days and for many years the name has been very closely associated with the mercantile and manufacturing interests of Berne. Mr. Grover W. Sprunger, who was one of the organizers and is secretary and treasurer of the Dunbar Furniture Manufacturing Company, was born at Berne, June 27, 1890. He is a son of Levi A. Sprunger, president of the Sprunger, Lehman & Company, one of the largest business organizations in Adams County. Levi A. Sprunger was born in Adams County, grew up on a farm and lived with his father until he was twenty-one. Moving to Berne, he was in the sawmill business for five years, until his mill was destroyed by fire. He then took charge as manager of the store of Sprunger, Lehma!
n & Company. Levi A. Sprunger married Matilda Baumgartner, a native of Adams County, and member of another early family of Swiss ancestry. Both her parents were born in Adams County. The children of Levi A. Sprunger and wife are: Alma, born in 1888, wife of Rev. E. J. Neuenschwander, a minister in charge of the Mennonite Church at Halstead, Kansas; Grover W.; Lydia, born February 12, 1892, wife of Harry McCreery, who is with the Battle Creek Sanitarium at Battle Creek, Michigan; Harry, born March 24, 1894, in the plumbing business at Berne, married Freida Neuhauser; Leona, born August 14, 1897, is the wife of Elmer Leichty, a Berne plumber; and Miss Anna, born August 1, 1911, is a student of music at Berne. Grover W. Sprunger was reared and educated at Berne, attended common and high schools there, and on leaving high school became cashier of the Bank of Berne. He was with that institution eight years, this being followed by a wider experience as assistant district!
manager for the Lincoln Life Insurance Company, having a district comprising eight Indiana counties. He resigned after two years and on October 9, 1919, had a prominent part in organizing the Dunbar Furniture Manufacturing Company, and has since been its secretary and treasurer. This company at the outset bought a small furniture factory owned by Niederhauser & Dunbar at Linn Grove, six miles from Berne. The factory was operated in an old barn. After three months they moved the plant to Berne. The officials at the organization of the company were: E. C. Bierie, president; Rudolph Schug, vice president; Mr. Sprunger, secretary and treasurer; and H. Niederhauser, general manager. At the outset the company manufactured a line of leather-covered rockers, practically all being sold through the Butler Brothers house of Chicago. After two years they undertook the manufacture of three-piece living room sets, resulting in a great increase in volume of business, with the consequent n!
ecessity of enlarging the building plant. The next increase was represented by a better grade of living room sets, with full Webb bottoms and all moss filling. Three years later they began putting out a solid mahogany hand-carved line of furniture, and at that time installed a large amount of woodworking machinery. Today the Dunbar Company has the largest upholstery factory in Indiana. This is one of the companies that keep a permanent exhibit in the great furniture mart at Chicago, and the output of their factory is now sold from coast to coast, also in Canada and in Mexico. It is a large business employing several hundred persons, including a corps of traveling salesmen, and from an output valued the first year at eighty thousand dollars, the finished product now represents the value of over one and a half millions of dollars. In addition to his connection with the Dunbar Furniture manufacturing Company Mr. Sprunger is secretary and treasurer of the Homer Furniture!
Manufacturing Company, is secretary and treasurer of the Berne Overall & Shirt Company, and is a director of the Peoples State Bank. He married, June 17, 1917, Miss Kathrine Neuenschwander, who was born and reared at Fessenden, North Dakota. Her father, Rev. Daniel Neuenschwander, a native of Ohio, has spent the greater part of his active life as a minister of the Reformed Church, and is now living retired at Berne at the age of eighty. Mrs. Sprunger’s mother was Kathrine Schug, who died November 21, 1926, and is buried at Berne. Mr. and Mrs. Sprunger have four children: Kathrine M., born May 4, 1919, Harriet R., born in June, 1923, Harold D., born February 12, 1926, and John H., born June 6, 1927. The children were born in Berne and the two older are attending school there. The family are active members of the Menonnite Church. Mr. Sprunger is a Republican, is president of the Berne Chamber of Commerce and is secretary of the board of education of the city.
