Hi!, John Fromer is my paternal grandfather's (Ora E. Newman)maternal grandfather. I
know true genealogists can express this better. John Fromer married Nancy Updike, their
daughter Anna married James Harrison Newman who was a saloonist. My Grandfather had to
clean up after the customers in his youth. He became quite religious as a result of this
early experience. James H. Newman and Anna had a bunch of kids and can be found on the
census. They lived in Napoleon,IN. My grandfather Ora is listed as Dra due to a
transcriber's error. His brothers Albert and Harry had a wholesale grocery business in
Indianapolis. We visited his sister Alice in Terre Haute one time. There were a lot more
kids.
