This is my great grandfather. His parents,John and Rufena Weiler Scheiber . John [1] was
born toJacob and Magdalena Steinmetz Scheiber in Starke CO. Ohio.Grandpa's farm in
Huntington Co. Clear Creek, is located corner of 9 and 114. On Huntington Co. side. Big
brick house. Big barn just burned down this spring. across the road is Whitley County. The
Scheibers attended Nix Settlement [St. Catherines Catholic Church. Mayme was organist
there. she married Pius Zahm. So the ZAHM'S and ZAHN'S of Huntington are in this
family! confusing at times. Elizabeth Zahn was daughter of Jacob Zahn and Mary
NUCK-Geltzleichter. Jacob died of phnemonia and left Mary with young family to raise.The
same as Elizabeth at youmg age was taken into her Aunt and Uncle Dages home for awhile.
Elizabeth found herself taking in her grandchildren and son-in-law and helping raise
Sparky and Margie Forrest when their mother Gertie Scheiber Forrest died in 1918 flu
epedemic leaving 2 young children. Elizabeth !
was bound to a wheelchair in later life due to knees were so bad. Arthiritis seems to run
in the family!
