My grandparents, William and Grace Terhune, owned a business school and music school in Shelbyville for many years. I believe they finally closed the school when my Grandmother became ill in 1957.
The school was located in downtown Shelbyville and later at their home on East Pennsylvania Street.
I would like to hear from anyone who attended the school or knew my grandparents. Any memories or stories would be greatly appreciated since I barely remember them and my mother rarely spoke of them.
Thanks for any help,
Judith

I would suggest getting obits for her Dad and brothers if you don't already have them.
Also, there is an Emogene Cross, age 16, married to Bryan L. Cross, living in Perry, Delaware County in 1930. There is no guarantee it is the right one, but someone to check out further.

This Thomas S. Hacker was a son of John and Margaret [Sleeth] Hacker; his spouse Margaret Keith was a daughter of James and Mary Ann [Alkire] Keith.
"Thomas S. Hacker, father of Mrs. Jesse Meloy [Elizabeth], was born March 18, 1790, and his wife [Margaret Keith] on the 17th of December, 1793, both of German descent. They, too, were among the first permanent of Shelby county, locating in Sugar Creek township, on land which Mr. Hacker entered and which his grandson, Thomas E. Meloy, now owns. When Mr. Hacker came to this part of the county his neighbors were few and far between and the absence of churches or any attempts at religious instruction had a bad influence on the community, and caused Mr. Hacker much concern. To remedy the matter he walked all the way to his former home in Virginia to induce a minister to come to the new settlement, and it was through his influence that a missionary of the Methodist Protestant church located here, being the first preacher to hold public worship in Sugar Creek township.
On his trip to and from Virginia Mr. Hacker met with a number of interesting experiences, one of which is worthy of note in this connection. At a place in Ohio, where he was entertained for a night, the lady of the house had biscuits for supper, the first he had seen for a long time, as the early settlers of Shelby county had, as yet, raised no wheat, and subsisted very largely on corn bread, which for many years constituted the principal part of their bill of fare. Before leaving the backwoods inn the next morning to resume his homeward journey, he asked the landlady for a few biscuits to take to his children, who had never seen such bread and who were at a loss to know what to do with the strange kind of cakes when they were placed on the table.
Mr. and Mrs. Hacker experienced their full share of the hard work and self-sacrifices of the pioneer period, spent the best part of their lives on the farm in Sugar Creek township which Mr. Hacker developed from the forest, and, dying, left to their descendants the memory of good actions, noble aims and high ideals."

Hi,
I am looking for any information on Emogene D. Gibson, her parents were George W. and Minnie C. Gibson. She was born approximately 1914. According to the 1920 Census she was 6 years old. So birth date about 1913/1914. She and her mother Minnie C. were not listed on the 1930 census. I have found out that Minnie died in 1929. Does anyone know what happened to Emogene? She had brothers, Harold, Clifford and Carlton (twins?), Roy Gibson
Thanks - SLR

Dear Don,
I cannot thank you enough for clearing this up for me. As you know I have very little to nothing to go on. If I understand this correctly, George W. Gibson wed Minnie C. Trendelman. The name Trendelman is also associated my grandmother Margaret Suiter Gibson who married George's son Harold Gibson. Margaret's mother was Sophia Trendelman. Did these people marry cousins? I am absolutely stunned by this information. Perhaps people did this in the day. You are so kind to alert me to this. I will persue the new information. May God bless you! SLR

Not related but this has bothered me since I first took a look at it and I hate an unsolved mystery. I think you are on the wrong road. The marriage of 26 Nov 1890 was between Minnie Gibson and Wat Seymour, her father was Thomas Gibson and her mother was Louisa Frazier. I think the proper one would be where George W Gibson married Minnie Trendelman in Marion county on 10 Apr 1901. She can be found in the 1900 census for Marion county with her brother and other siblings, she was born in Indiana and both parents in Germany. She and George can be found in Marion county censuses for 1910 and 1920 and George is a widow in 1930 and according to his age and when he was first married it would have beeen in 1901. Hope this helps. Don

Hello,
Thank you so very much for this very useful information. My mother, Marcia does not remember her grandparents. She is now 82 years old. I have contacted my uncle Jerry Gibson and he is about 79 years and in very frail health. Mom and Uncle Jerry, Uncle Harold are the only kids left from my grandparents Margaret and Harold A. Gibson.
This is the first piece of information I have about Minnie and George. If you have anything else at all I would be so thankful! I have no photos, information nothing.
