Rick, the Marquardt Lutheran Church is located on the southwest corner of the
intersection of Grotrian & Hoffman roads in Madison township. If you are
familiar with east Allen County, you can take Monroeville Rd. east off U.S.
27 for about 10 miles. At the Grotrian Rd. sign, wing a left for about a
mile. In
relation to the Van Horn name, a local schoolteacher lady, now deceased, by
the name of Mildred Perl Van Horn, did extensive genealogical research &
historical research for many years. Her daugher-in-law, Eleanor Van Horn, is
still alive and may know which of the children may have kept Mildred's work.
I will check at the Besancon Historical Society Archives to see if any Van
Horn family histories are filed there. Maybe you know more than I can find
for you, but I will still look and inquire, if you want.
