Surname: Ackerman, Schofield, Marshall
-------------------------
Sgt. Lloyd C. Ackerman
Co. E, 58th Infantry, 4th Division.
November 7, 1893 - July 18, 1918
The former Poet-Laureate of England, Alfred Austin, in one of his poems
sent out an appeal for a stronger friendship between the two Anglo-Saxon
democracies on both sides of the Atlantic. "Let us speak with each other
face to face, and answer as man to man," he urged. When the chief apostle
of the religion of brutal force threatened the world, America, the traditional
home of liberty, united her forces with the democratic nations of Europe,
that "his menace be void and vain." One of the American crusaders, a son
of Evansville, Lloyd C. Ackerman, was born in Rome, Ind., November 7, 1893.
He received his education in Evansville, and graduated from the eighth
grade of Columbia school, at the age of fifteen. For a short period he
lived at Troy, Ind. Returning to this city he was employed by the Dundee
Woolen Mills, where he worked for two years.
The life of a soldier had a great fascination for him. At the age of eighteen
he enlisted in the coast artillery. He renewed his period of enlistment,
and served at various camps in California,Washington and Oregon for seven
years. When our country entered the world war his term for service had
expired, but rather than be drafted he again enlisted in November, 1917,
at Gettysburg,Pa., in Co. E, Fifty-eighth Infantry. Here he met Miss Helen
Phyllis Schofield, a war worker from. Lynn, Mass. The romance
culminated in the first wedding which ever occurred at Camp
Gettysburg. The whole camp turned out to witness the ceremony,and the wedding
dinner, attended by many soldiers and civilians, was served in military
style.
When he was transferred to Charlotte, N. C., he took his bride with him.
After two months of training he was sent to New York, and in February,
1918, he sailed for France. A detailed account of his experiences at the
front has not been obtainable. In his last letter home he said: "War is
hell,but at that it is not nearly as bad as most people think. I am well.
We are really enjoying ourselves over here. We have not actually been sent
up against the Hun, but I sure hope to meet him soon, and do my part."
In that letter he added that he had not been hearing from his parents,
and would "love to hear from good old U. S. A."
About the time this letter came to Evansville, his mother received a letter
from her other son, Crafton Ackerman, who was in the service at London.
"Lloyd is well, I know, mother," he wrote. "Don't you worry about him.
I'm going over there and surprise him, and say, won't his old eyes get
big when he sees me?" Sgt. Ackerman made the supreme sacrifice July 18,
1918, five miles from Chateau-Thierry. The following letter to his wife
from
Captain W. F. Marshall, of Anderson, S. C., gives the circumstances of
his death, and an appreciation of his heroic service: "Your husband, Sergeant
Lloyd C. Ackerman, was in my company, and was the best sergeant I ever
had. I thought a lot of him, and was greatly grieved when he was killed.
He was right at my side when he was killed. We were in a wheat field about
five miles northwest of Chateau-Thierry, and your husband is buried there.
Your husband died a hero. He was right in the front line advancing on the
Germans, when some machine guns opened up on us and killed many of our
men. Sgt. Ackerman was the best drill
sergeant I ever had, and was cool under fire. The company and regiment
lost a very valuable man when he was killed, and I personally feel it very
deeply. I cannot speak too highly of him. _____

Surname: martin, rooks, robinson
-------------------------
Margaret,another daughter of Charles & Franky (Rook) Martin, married Burrell
Thompson Robinson in Vanderburgh Co. Another of the Martin sons married
Burrell's sister (Sorry for vagueness but I'm writing from memory; records
are at home.) Margaret died in Cedar County, Iowa in 1858. Her children
were: Nicholas, Nathaniel, Charles, George, and James Henry Robinson (my
great grandfather). I believe that Charles Martin reared his grandsons
James and George and the older boys went on their own after Margaret died.
I have a copy of the "birth page" of Charles Martin's family Bible if you'd
like a copy.
Does anyone know what the ED are for Vanderburgh county, Pidgeon township?
I am very much thinking of buying a CD for Vanderburgh County, but
unfortunately the ED is not the same as in 1920. There is two CD's and I
don't want to buy both. Thanks.

Surname: Dennhardt, Orth, Bigham
-------------------------
I believe Matthias Dennhardt's wife's name was Veronica (maiden name either
WELKER or OSEHKER). OSEHKER is the name that appears on the FamilySearch.org
IGI Record, but it is possible that there was a mixup in spelling somewhere
along the line.) Their marriage date is given as Jan. 27, 1849 in Ross
County, OH. The location is kind of confusing to me since I had always
heard that they married in Germany.
I have info about Peter Orth and his children from Germany and then his
second marriage to Josephine Dennhardt and am aware that the family lived
in Evansville (VANDERBURGH County) and worshipped at St. Boniface Catholic
Church on Wabash Ave. Apparently, there was another branch of the family
that lived near Mt. Vernon (Posey County) IN.
I have not corresponded with Earlene Peak, but I am aware that someone
has contacted by mother-in-law in Evansville indicating that they are doing
research on this family line. Was that you? Please write back and we will
see if we can fill in any more information.
Will reopen on February 21, 2001

I know that this is going to "Genealogy" lists also, and I am not sending
this to pass on some unfounded mass mailing. More then likely someone who is
receiving this email thought they were getting a joke titled "Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs - The REAL story" and its download file. THIS IS NOT A JOKE
IT ONE OF THOSE VIRUSES THAT ATTACHES TO YOUR EMAIL LIST. It comes from
"hahaha(a)sexyfun.net (Hahaha)". I found it couple of places online here is one

-------------------------
Barb, I just found your query today. Do you have any information on a Hilary
Smith that married a Malissa Holt in Warrick County on November 2, 1897?
I know that at some point they also lived in Posey County from there I
believe they moved to Evansville. Both are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery
there. Unfortunately, I know very little about them. Any additional info
would be great. They are my great grandparents. Thanks, Becky
