The reference to Bethel can only be to New Bethel, which was settled
first by Reuben Adams, who came from New Liberty, Kentucky in 1825 and
cleared a plot of ground where New Bethel (now Wanamaker)was later
located.

Ditto, my parents say the same thing. It was on the Shelbyville Road (US 421
isn't it?).
The 20 miles reference was probably due to the fact that in 1830 Indpls was a
much smaller place, so it well could have been nearly 20 miles.

>An index for HAYMONDs would be wonderful!
I must not have been clear; I thought I offered an index to Claude
Haymond's History of St Paul, with lookups once I've done it (sorry about
the response to the whole list rather than to you alone, as intended).
David Piepho has a very thorough index of all the Haymonds. Are you in
touch with him?
>Thanks again for checking my links. Hope you had a nice Easter.
We've had a five-day weekend, commencing with Good Friday and ending today
with ANZAC Day, the Australian equivalent of Memorial Day. I've done some
work on the house, played with the puppies, spent a day ringing bells
(English change-ringing) at a cathedral an hour away in Goulburn and eaten
much too much.

Isn't Bethel along 52 somewhere between Morristown and Fountaintown? Seems
like I remember there's nothing there but a culvert. I'll ask the folks,
they'll know. Daddy drove 52 for 35 years daily. Doesn't that sound awful?
Does to me!
BTW, thanks. Got the info you sent today. I'm so far behind with everything
I don't know which end is up. Spent Easter painting quarter round for the
folks house. Builder and wood floor installers got into an argument over
who'd do what. Finally builder said they'd supply the quarter round and
paint, installer said they'd put it down, but somebody'd have to paint it. I
knew who'd that be the minute I heard it. Sure enough. Besides that I laid
sod, measured sod laid, watered it for hours on end, and drove all the way
home--then unloaded everything. I still haven't recovered!

Does anyone recognize this Benjamin F. VANORSDOL? (Seems the VANs that
located in the northern part of Shelby Co used the VANORSDOL spelling,
while the ones locating in Hendrick Twp, western part of the county,
used the VANARSDALL spelling.)
>From - William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas
First published in 1883 by A. T. Andreas, Chicago, IL.
Shawnee County --
BENJAMIN F. VANORSDOL, farmer and orchardist, P. O. Silver Lake, has 200
acres under cultivation and enclosed, two and one-half miles northeast
of Silver Lake, in Monoken Township. In 1882 had sixty acres of corn.
Residence
is 14x22 with an L 16x32, all containing six rooms; built in 1880. He
came
to his present location in 1870. Has an orchard of forty acres planted
from one to ten years. Has about 2,500 apple trees, 1,000 bearing. In
1881
had about 500 bushels apples. Has about 2,000 peach trees, about 600
bearing.
Has 100 of each, pears and plums, and 150 cherry trees, besides having
all varieties of small fruit. Mr. V. has accomplished this magnificent
showing by his own labor, besides has a fine avenue shaded with soft
maple,
ailantus, cottonwood and elm. He was born in Shelby County, Ind.,
November
21, 1835. When five years old his parents moved to Henry County, Iowa,
where he resided until 1861. He completed the classical course of the
Iowa
Wesleyan University at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, in June, 1860, and enlisted
the following year in Company F., First Iowa. Was at the battle of
Wilson's
Creek and completed the term of enlistment of three months' men and
removed
to Ohio, locating in Preble County and taught school until 1864, when he
was made major of the Thirty-fourth Ohio National Guards, which was
merged
into the One Hundred and Fifty-sixth United States Volunteer 100 day
men.
Was through Kentucky and in the battle of Cumberland, Md. Held his
commission
as Major of the Thirty-fourth National Guards for five years. Read law
in Eaton, Ohio. Was admitted to the bar in July, 1865.
He was married in Preble County, Ohio, in 1865, to Miss Nancy POTTINGER,
a native of Ohio. They have two children, Mary E. and Thomas P. He is a
member of the Ohio Lodge, No. 132, Silver Lake I. O. O. F., and District
Deputy Grand Master. With the exception of one year has held that
position since the organization of the lodge. Has always been a
prominent
and active Republican.
This is from the Marion Co mail list:
Does anyone recognize where "Bethel" as described in some family papers
might be?
"My grandfather then moved to Indiana at a place about 20 miles south of
Indianapolis called Bethel there my Grand father John Baker No 3
purchased
a farm on the main highway built a road house and a flour mill...There
was
no rail road from Indianapolis to Cincinatty (sic). Cincinatty was the
stock market and the farmers would put their fat hogs all in one drove
of
about 200 head take several loads of corn and start to market 2 or 3
hundred miles away...In those days would stop at the roadhouse where my
Grandfather had several lots fenced in where he could put several lots
of
pigs up for the night."
The only Bethel I've been able to find in historical gazetteers or
modern
atlases is New Bethel in Franklin Twp, Marion Co, but that is only about
10
miles from Indianapolis. (Of course, the memoir may be inaccurate in
giving distance.) Is the road described now known as Rte 74? I'm
guessing
this was in the 1830s?
Thanks for any help,
Mary

If Brant and Fuller have a paragraph or two on the Vienna Church, I'd be
interested to see it. I remember finding a relatively modern Shelby County
publication in the State Library Genealogy Room which had a full page on
each of the churches, including the Vienna Church. Unfortunately my notes
from this were among those lost with my laptop.

Geneva's there, but I can't see Waldron.
I'll get myself organised to list the names mentioned in the Claude Haymond
History of St Paul and circulate it to both our lists for lookups.
