I just did some searching for your Benj.F TANNER- no births listed for
Starke Co (goes to 1938) I don't have access to the 1900 census at home
but did find him on the death index- TANNER, Benj. F. 62 yrs of age,
died July 25, 1921 in California Twp.- I can get the index number and
address if you want to send foe death cert.- obit would be more help
since I also found the article on him in the 1915 Standard History of
Starke County by Joseph N. McCormick- pages366, 367, 368-
highlights-came with $27.00-now has farm of 71 acres in Cal.twp.-born
near Grand Rapids , Mich-July 27,1858-
grandfather- Palmer TANNER-born New York, family prominent there, to
Ohioin 1830s, Norwalk, Ohio, died at age 60
father- James Edward TANNER-born New York 1830, Sandusky Ohio married
Sarah TERRY, father Julius TERRY, a cooper, died age 82, mother- Sarah
HAFF, died before Mr TERRY
James moved to MIch., returned to Ohio prior to Civil War, served 3rd
Ohio Calvary, 3 yrs, died at 72 yrs, Sandusky ,Ohio, Eerie Co.Soldiers
Home ( puts it just after 1900)- Mrs TANNER died at age 60
Benj. F. their 4th child and 3rd son, family of 8, all still living (book
came out 1915)
bro John life in US service,now in Phillipine Islands
Benj. came to Starke Co 1886-married Dec 18,1874 in Sandusky ,Ohio to
Hannah MICK, she born Snyder Co, Pa. Apr 19, 1866, to Seneca co, Ohio,
age 7 to Sandusky
children
Dora M. single, living in Hammond, In
Maybelle M. " Clyde, Ohio
Roy E. " Lake Co, In
Irvin J. married to Lillian RHOADES, in Lake Co, In
John S. -Us Army, Oklahoma
Ora R. married Nellie LUCY- living in Clyde, Ohio
Hazel at home
Clyde Wm. "
Winnie R in schooll
E. Frances "
Charles R. "
Norma D. "
Benj. C. "
there was another TANNER family hewre, a George W. TANNER, he was also
born in New York so would not be suprised to find them related, makes
sense that Benj would come to an area that already has family ???
so good luck and let me know- i will check for an obit
