Hello, Rosie. My name is Jeannine "Jeannie" (Lucas) Fleck.
I saw your posting on the IN/Blackford Co. message board
"gatewayed" to the [INBLACKF] mailing list. Would you be
willing to hunt for some information for me, too?
I am searching for my 'missing' POWELLs connected to
the HESS family of Hartford City, Blackford Co., IN.
Callie G. HESS (b. ??? 1885?) married about 1902? to
Ortice M. POWELL (b. Apr 1880/Hancock Co., OH;
d. 25 May 1947/Sandusky, Erie Co., OH).
They were visiting (attending funeral of Ortice's brother,
Clyde) in Sandusky when Ortice died. She was supposed
to have gone back to Hartford City to await the arrival of
his body & make funeral arrangements. Obituaries would
be greatly appreciated - as would marriage information!!
{PLUS, the names of her parents would be welcomed, too!)
Also, Ortice had another brother named Creighton D.
(b. 22 Aug 1872/Hancock Co., OH; d. 26 Dec 1947/Ohio)
who married a girl named Birdella. They were living in
Hartford City in 1900; so I was thinking they may have
been married there, also. She was about 5 years younger
than he & estimated marriage date would be 1896.
Thank you for any information ...
:-) Jeannie Fleck (I will be sending you my mailing address in a private e-mail)
