Charles M. TenEyck, born 3 Apr 1858, near Blissfield,
Michigaqn, son of Albert TenEyck. Charles had a sister
and a half brother, Hattie (TenEyck) Bowen of
Ingersoll, Canada and Frank of Jackson, Michigan.
Charles spent his early boyhood at Hudson, Michigan
and graduated form Hudson High School.
Charles maried Nina Holmes, 24 Aug 1881. From Hudson,
Michigan, they moved to Hillsdale, Michigan for about
five years, before coming to Auburn. He was employed
for several years at the Zimmerman Carriage factory in
Auburn. In 1897 he left the factory work to go into
the Florist business. Charles and son, Sherburn were
in the Florist business forty years in Auburn.
To this union were born three children; Bessie, born
in Hillsdale, Michigan, died young; Marie born in
Auburn, IN, maried Wallace Hursh. Sherburn born in
Hillsdale, Michigan.
Nina was a member of the Pythian Sisters and W.B. A.
Lodge. They were both members of the Auburn Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Charles died 18 Sep 1938 and Nina died in 1939, both
are buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery.
Don't know how he got the name of Sherburn, or what
the H. stands for except his son was named Jack
Harraid TenEyck.
Sherburn was in the florist business with his father
(Charles)for forty years. Some time later his
granddaughter Jacowen Arlee (TenEyck) Smith, started
the florist business again, several years ago she
retired. And the business is know longer in the family
altho it is still listed under the TenEyck name.

Message Board Post:
Was there a Ten Eyck family in Auburn, DeKalb Co.IN
which owned, operated a floral shop? The only Ten
Eyck family I'm familiar with there is that of
Sherburn H. and Edna B.Strauss
Ten Eyck whose children were Donna Alle, Donald Owen
and Jack H. Ten Eyck. Does or did anyone of this
group run a floral shop in Auburn, IN?
Sherburn's sister Celia Marie married Clyde Hursh
and Wallace Clayton Hersh. How was Sherburn
named--for whom? Had never seen that name used in
the Ten Eyck family before he was born in 1885. What
did his middle initial H.stand for? Please and
thanks!
