My great-great grandfather was a Joseph Grabill who owned land in Indiana at
the time of his death around 1850. This is a long shot but I hoped to find
out more information about this Joseph Grabill and his connection to
Grabill, Indiana. His wife was buried in Clark County, Ohio.

I can't find anything to connect Joseph Grabill to the Festival
per say,
but the Town
of Grabill was named after him, so I would assume at least indirectly
the
Festival is
also.
