Where was the original home country of the Mader family.
They were from Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany. Immigrated to Ft. Wayne then
to
Logansport. The original spelling was Moeder with the umlaut that I
can
never
get my computer to do. My great great grandfather Daniel was a bit
testy
and became angry at having to pronounce his name all the time. It is
pronounced with a long a sound. So he had it legally changed to the
"Americanized"
spelling. He had a tailor shop at 3rd and Broadway in Logansport
way
back in
the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and I am told that
was
called
Mader's corner back then.
Daniel had a brother named Frederick who kept the original spelling. He
settled in Logansport also.
