I'm looking for my 3rd great grandmother, Elizabeth ZEMER (married name) who
died somewhere in Indiana in 1851.
She was born in PA and lived in Shelby Co.,Ohio until her husband Henry died
in 1836. After that she went to Indiana, probably to live with one of her
children.
I would like to find her maiden name.
Barbara in CA
PS....Vi,
I got the link to work fine for me.

Try this address for Corasue. achatton(a)theinnet.net The In Net and Shelby
Net were purchased by Major Hospital and they have merged into lightbound.
Not all of the addresses have changed to lightbound, yet. They told us that
they would, but they haven't. Mine has not changed.
If that doesn't work, try calling there. 398-8144

Hi,
I have some old pictures that were made in Shelbyville In. Some are labeled
as being made by Toltman and sons. Others are made by Goodrich Shelbyville
In. I think they are made around 1860, 1870, or 1880. Does anyone know
anything about these photographers?

I would like to have information on Frederick and Richard Cummins and John C.
Walker. I am especially interested in a scandal that happened after the
death of John C. Walker when his children lost all the land he had
accumulated during the early 1830s. I understand he was the largest
landowner in the state during that time.
Would I have to pay someone to research for me or how do I go about
accomplishing this?

Crowds of people once filled downtown circle
By DAVID CRAIG
Many longtime residents recall how difficult it was to navigate through the
crowd on Public Square on Saturday nights. It is said a picture is worth a
thousand words. This picture of Public Square, taken before the Presbyterian
Church moved to West Broadway Street, speaks volumes. Dominating the right
background is the Presbyterian Church. According to Marian McFadden, the
congregation purchased the lot at the corner of South Harrison and Jackson
Street in 1839 for $300. The building sat on a foundation of wooden blocks.
The first steeple bell in Shelbyville rang from the cupola. This bell was
placed in the steeple of the present day Presbyterian Church. On the adjacent
corner of Jackson and South Harrison streets was a grocery store. The
building with “Rock Bottom” on the side still exists. This was the location
of Horst Shoe store on the ground floor. Upstairs was the home of Tatman’s
Gallery. A skylight can be seen on the roof of the Gallery. To the left of
Horst’s was the Gorgas & Strong Hardware store. Silas Gorgas opened his first
hardware store in 1853, and he lived on the southeast side of the Square. In
1863, the Gorgas home was demolished and the picture in the building erected.
In 1870, Gorgas’ son Albert owned the business along with son-in-law Norman
Strong. In 1886 the business was known as Strong Hardware and remained in the
family until it closed in 1936. Why was there such a big crowd on the Square?
Could there have been a political rally scheduled for that day? Was this a
promotion by downtown businesses? Or did the photographer record a “normal”
Saturday on Public Square? We probably will never know the answer. The
stairway ascending to Tatman’s Gallery is packed with people. They seem to be
looking toward the photographer. There are people hanging out of the windows
observing the activity on Public Square. Could it have been Tatman that took
the picture? The huge crowd spills off of the square and runs down South
Harrison Street past the Presbyterian Church. Many of the women are dressed
in white. They all are wearing large frilled hats. Many of the women hold
umbrellas. From the dress it can be assumed the picture was taken during the
summer. The men also wear hats of the type common to the later half of the
1800s. The men’s clothes are dark. A large number of the men are wearing a
dress coat. A stovepipe hat can be seen on a man in the left-hand corner of
the picture. He is standing in a wagon in front of the Gorgas & Strong store.
It is very interesting to examine the contents of the wagons. In the
foreground, the wagons seem to hold household furniture. One family is
sitting in what appears to be a Connestoga style wagon. Very noticeable near
the center of the picture is a wagon with a bright white top. On the side, a
sign advertises a carpet sale. Two American flags adorn the side of this
wagon. Could this have been the Fourth of July? The stores used to have
canvass awnings covering the sidewalks. These are very evident on South
Harrison Street just off of the Square. Also, a small tent sits on the
southwest corner of the Square. Was this a food tent or a merchants venue?
Another interesting item is the street lamps on the corners of the Square and
South Harrison Street. We may never know what the occasion recorded by the
photographer was. Maybe a holiday or political rally. With Tatman’s Gallery
near the center of the picture, maybe he was photographing his studio.
Whatever the reason, the picture gives us an excellent view of the hustle and
bustle that was Public Square. A Shelbyville native, David Craig is a
custodian for Shelbyville Central Schools. The Shelbyville High School and
Ball State University graduate is interested in genealogy and amateur radio.

Can someone please look up WILLIAM ARNOLD Married to MARY SHOCKLEY on the 1860 census. I have the 1850 census and William - 43 and Mary - 38 both born in KY are listed in Van Buren Twp. with 12 children. I am sure they had more children after 1850 and I need their names to try and make a connection. Please know that any help will be greatly appreciated.
