Hi Folks,
I've just signed up for this list. The families I am looking for are those
of Benjamin Franklin Sponhower (possible variant spellings) and Catherine
Elizabeth Butler.
They were married in 1885 in Marcellus, Cass Co., Michigan. They had at
least two daughters, Ina, b. Sep 9, 1882, and Lottie Pearl, b. Apr 17,
1885, both in Michigan though I don't know where.
I don't know for sure when the family moved but both girls are listed as
students in Auburn, Dekalb Co., Indiana in 1903. The two sisters later
married two Ridenour brothers, David and Henry Claude respectively, from
Auburn.
Benjamin Franklin Sponhower died Nov. 14, 1922 in Auburn, In.
Catherine Elizabeth (Butler) Sponhower died Sep. 19, 1924, in Auburn.
Any assistance available in tracking down this family and their ancestors
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew and Jane (Ridenour) White
