Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for the info on Minnie's parents. Minnie Ranck married into my Keim
family. I am also interested in Shoemaker & Tilden lines, from which I am a
direct descendant.
In 1995 my brother & I had the opportunity to visit Enterprise Cemetery
(Tombaugh Cemetery), which is where I got her birth & death years. The Keim's had
married into my Shoemaker line. The Shoemaker Cemetery is located on the old
Henry Shoemaker farm, which we also visited. Henry Shoemaker was my 3rd great
grandfather. My 2nd great grandfather, Jeremiah (Jerry) Shoemaker, is also
buried there.
My great grandfather, Elijah Elsworth Shoemaker, married Isabella Tilden.
Her ancesters are buried in the Tilden Cemetery, which is totally overgrown.
Thanks again, and have a nice "Father's Day". :)

Pat,
I have information on them . They were in the northern part of Miami
Co . and my
Rancks were in the southern part of the county. But I kept the info
for when and
if I ever connect them to my family.
Minnie's parents were William 1833 PA and Emma DIckey 1847 Ohio
Her siblings were Jesse M. 1871 IN
Florence C. 1873 IN
Ida R. 1875 IN
They're marriage record can be found in Miami county court house. Book
C8 page 294
WIlliam and Emma marriage Wabash Co. Book 57 page 7 November 1867
I believe Williams parents were Christian and Leah but havn't been
able to
document it yet.
They lived in Miami Co. Perry township in 1870 and 1880.
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions let me know and I
will see if
I can help.
Have a good weekend,
Suzanne
