I've been doing some research on the Denkewalter family of Owen
County.
Dr. Frederick had two daughters, Olga who married a Meguschar and
Mare/Mary/Marie who married a Treanor. Olga's daughter, Hilda
Megushar,
owned the clothespin factory for a time. Does anyone have more
information about the Denkewalter, Meguschars or Treanor than what I
can
find on the internet, including Ancestry. I've also been to the
family
file at the Owen County Public Library.
