Hello all. I am having a difficult time sorting out my Schammerhorn ancestors. My
great-grandmother was Rose Bell Schammerhorn (1891-1990, Wichita, KS), whose parents were
John Ervin Schammerhorn and Lavina (Warner) Schammerhorn who moved from LaGrange, Indiana,
to near Wichita, Kansas, (Milton, KS) in the 1870's. I have an obituary from John E.
Schammerhorn that I received from my grandfather. However, I can't seem to find
John's parents, nor Lavina's parents. Given that I live in Greenwood, IN, LaGrange
is only 3-4 hours from my house and if I knew that I could find something about their
families there, I would definitely make a trip.
I have a fair amount of info. on John & Lavina's other 6 children (besides Rose)
if anyone is interested.
Any help that you can give me in sorting this out would be MUCH appreciated.
Thank you!
