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. 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.

Surnames in this biography are: Mangold, Weldy, Andrews,
BURT MANGOLD as a doctor of dental surgery has practiced his profession at Decatur since
1905. He has lived at Decatur all his life, and the people there have manifested an
unusual appreciation of him both in his professional capacity and as a popular citizen of
the community. He was born in Decatur August 18, 1883, son of Noah and Rachael (Weldy)
Mangold. His father, for many years an active business man of Decatur, was born in
Fairfield County Ohio, April 22, 1853, and was ten years age when his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Abraham Mangold, moved to Adams County, Indiana, and settled on a farm in Preble
Township. Abraham Mangold lived to be eighty years of age. Noah Mangold after leaving the
farm enraged in business at Decatur, was in the butter and egg business, a dealer in
hardware, served four years as county auditor of Adams County and had various other
business interests. He was a Democrat in politics and a member of the Christian Church.
His wife’s father, Daniel !
Weldy, also came from Fairfield County, Ohio, and was one of the well-to-do farmers of
Kirkland Township. Daniel Weldy lived to be ninety-two years of age, passing away
September 15, 1915. The Mangolds were members of the Reformed Church. Doctor Mangold was
one of four children. His brother, Arthur, now deceased, was a merchant at Decatur and was
married and left a family. The daughter Ireta died when six years old. The other daughter,
Glen, is the wife of Herbert Kern, a garage man at Decatur. Burt Mangold grew up in
Decatur, attended the grade and high schools and in 1905 took his degree at the
Indiana Dental College at Indianapolis. He has been practicing his profession in
Decatur now for a quarter of a century and is a member in good standing of the Indiana
State and Northern Indiana Dental Societies. His fraternal connections are with the
Knights of Pythias, Modern Woodmen of America, Brotherhood of American Yeomen, Knights of
the Maccabees, the Tribe o!
f Ben Hur, Independent Order of Odd Fellows and B. P. 0. Elks. He is, like his father, a
Democrat in politics, and he and his wife have membership in the Christian Church. He
married Miss Nora Andrews, who was born at Monroe, Adams County, June 11, 1887. She
finished her education in a college at Marion and taught school for several years before
her marriage.
