Hello!!
I was wondering if anyone would look in the Blackford County, Indiana
Records
such as Birth, Death, Cemetery, and Obituaries for any Sasser. I am
looking
for any Sasser's in the county. They also lived in Grant and Wells
Counties Indiana. Any help would be appreciated. I did find some Sasser's
in Randolph,
Jay, Tipton Counties Indiana and Darke and Preble County, Ohio. I know
they
all are related, I am just trying to make the connections. I have further
info on
the other Sasser's I found if needed. My family info is below. This has
been a
difficult family to track down for they moved quite often in Indiana.

Eli T Sasser - born January 1, 1872 in Blackford County, Indiana. He married
Rosetta Foreman on October 12, 1894 in Wells County, Indiana, daughter of
John Foreman and Julia Hasket. Rosetta was born July 1876 in Indiana. In the
1900 Census for Wells County, Indiana (Chester Twp) Eli and Rosetta were
living there with their daughter Viola. Viola was born March 1894 in Indiana.
Viola married Waldo Himelick. According to Eli’s obituary that they moved to
Grant County, Indiana (Jefferson Twp) around 1927. Eli and Rosetta are buried
in Miller Cemetery in Wells County, Indiana. Eli and Rosetta marriage record
in Wells County, Indiana says his father is Riley Sasser and mother is Lavina
Wilson.
NOTE: There is a 11 year age difference between Leander Sasser and Eli
Sasser. My guess there were other sibblings born in between Leander and Eli
to Riley and Lavina Sasser but they have not been found at this time. More
research is being done to try to locate any missing Sasser children.
