I am hoping that someone on this list has info on Dr Truesdell and family
when they lived in Peru from the 1840's to the 1860's. He and first wife
Catherine raised several children there: Caroline, Sarah, Mary. and Cassius.
Catherine died c1858 in Peru. Stephen married Emily MOREHEAD in 1858, and
their only child Franklin M Truesdell was born in Peru 0n June 29,1859.
Stephen had some kind of store in Peru, suffered business losses and moved
the family to Kokomo in the 1860's. Both Stephen (died June 1,1895) and Emily
(died April 27, 1911) are buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Peru.
