Hi all.
Can someone please check their resources on the Bricker family for
me. According to the Noble county cemetery records Charlie and Nettie
Bricker were children of Alpha and Jemima (Benjamin) Bricker. The
tombstones read:
Charlie Bricker Sep 30, 1872 6y 3m 24d
Nettie Bricker Sep 20, 1872 4y 3m 16d
So this seems to imply that Charlie and Nettie died in 1872 while young.
According to the Noble County Marriage records, Alpha A. Cramer was
born 17 Aug 1853 and Benjamin Bricker was born Nov 1851. They were
married 13 Nov 1870. If the children DIED in 1872, then Benjamin was
14 when the children were born and Alpha was almost 13.
Is it possible/probable that the dates on the tombstone are suppose
to be birth dates and someone transcribed them wrong (maybe they are
twins). Does anyone know if the dates should be 20 Sep or 30 Sep?
Anyone with better information?
Thanks,
Craig Aldrich
