There are several Zimmerman's buried in the Pleasant Dale/Steele Cemetery. Is anyone researching this family? I have some Zimmermans from PA that might connect.

Surely you already have this information, from pp. 518-9, Vol. II,
Tyndall & Lesh, 1918, A Standard History of Adams and Wells Counties, Indiana:
"Like many other pioneer families of this area (Berne, Adams Co., IN) Mr.
(Christ A.) Neuenschwander is a native of Switzerland. He was born in Canton
Berne, on the ridge of the Jura Mountains August 21, 1849. He has an authenic
record of six generations of the family history in the old country. These various
families, including his grandfather, spent all their lives in Switzerland.
They early became identified with the Mennonite Church. Mr. Neuenschander is a
son of Abraham and Catherine (Zurfluh) Neuenschwander. He was the oldest of
their children and the only one still living when, in 1852, the little family
embarked on a small sailing vessel at Havre, France, with about 50 other Swiss
colonists. For forty-three days they were driving across the ocean waves and
finally landed at New York, going on to Wayne County, Ohio. They left
Switzerland March 4, 1852 and were two months and two days in reaching Ohio. In
Wayne County the Neuenswanders lived for only a few months, and then went to
Riley Township of Putnam County, Ohio. On a farm there the mother died in 1865
at the age of thirty-eight. In 1866, Abraham Neuenschwander brought his
children in Adams County locating of a farm in Monroe Township. Here he spent the
remainder of his long career and died in January, 1904, when nearly
seventy-four years of age. As a citizen he began voting as a democrat but later became a
republican.

no proof!

Hi!
Sure sounds like the Fuelling family to me. The umlaut may have
changed the initial sounding of the word from T to F in American ears.

Have been reading a lot of posts on this board and noticed that many of you are having trouble getting copies of records from the Courthouse, etc.
If anyone out there needs copies of marriage records, death records, newspaper obits, wills, etc., if you will email me with particulars, I'll be glad to try to get these copies for you. I don't charge anything for doing this - all I ask is that you reimburse me for the expense of the copies.
I'll go to the Courthouse, the Annex, the Decatur Library, or the jail (where estate records are kept), and get copies you need.
I spend a lot of time doing research at the local library, and it's no problem to check on a few additional things for anyone who needs info and can't come here to do the work themselves. I also do research for a small fee - email me for particulars. But for a simple copy or two that you're having trouble getting from the Courthouse, just let me know - will be glad to help out. Also take cemetery pictures at any of the cemeteries in a 25 mile area around Adams Co., Indiana
