I've "rescued" an old Autograph Album which once belonged to Edith TABLER
ROUDENBUSH of Indiana. The album contains entries from Family and friends.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information
regarding Edith and her family:
Sarah Edith TABLER was b. 1882 in Indiana to parents Isaiah T. TABLER
(1837-1914) and Virginia Ann REID (1840-1911). Sarah Edith was one of 11
children born to this couple including, Harriet E.; Lydia C.; Mary M.; Laura
C.; Malinda Alice; Anna May; George Thomas; Adam E.; William F.; Clara E.
and Sarah Edith TABLER, all born between 1860 and 1882. Sarah Edith married
Jacob "Jake" Arthur ROUDENBUSH (1883-1971) with whom she had 3 children
including, Herman George; Ivis Pearl; and Leonard Jacob ROUDENBUSH, all born
between 1909 and 1913. Sarah Edith died on 4 Jul 1918 in Posey, IN and is
buried in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Elizabeth, IN.
Sarah Edith's brother-in-law signed in the album is Edward John HOUSER b. 31
Aug 1873 in Harrison, IN to parents Jonathan" John" W. HOUSER (1845-1931)
and Charlotte Ann DURKEE (1850-1938). Edward was one of 9 children born to
this couple including, Alva Leo; Edward John; Effie M.; Rae; Pearl N.; Audie
D.; Essie E.; Rose E.; and Ray E. HOUSER, all born between 1869 and 1893.
Edward married Alice M. TABLER (1870-1907) and together they had 4 children
including, Harry Earl; Catherine S.; Charles Beuroff; and Edward J. HOUSER
Jr., all born between 1895 and 1901. After his first wife's death in 1907
Edward married a second time, to Viola Mae KING. Edward died on 16 Dec 1941
in Jeffersonville, IN.
