Levi Kimmel appears with his parents Jacob and Catherine in Randolph Co., IN in the 1880 census. Jacob Kimmel and Catherine Bartow's 1873 marriage was recorded in that county. Jacob, in turn was son of Jacob B. Kimmel and Susannah Peterbaugh whose 1825 marriage was recorded in Dayton, Ohio. You can find evidence of Jacob B.'s sons' move from Montgomery County, OH to Randolph County, IN in the census, land and marriage records.
Dear list,
I am sending this to all the lists I am on............
Are you having the same problem I am having??? SPAM and JUNK. I seem to be
getting everything from credit card offers to SEX sites. I don't like it and
this is a sure way to get a "bug"!!!!!!!!!! Most seem to have a fairly
innocent looking sender...but if you look at the subject line you will get a
clue....the sender is repeated, there are a series of numbers, or it will say
"reply to John". I have sent most on to AOL but I find it irritating to say
the least when my granddaughter stumbles into them.
I do not go into any chat rooms or over seas sites. The out side mailing I
do is to the lists. The rest is personal. So, this has to be where they are
finding my add. Now if others are having the same trouble then we have it
nailed down.
I am not trying to stir up trouble but this really spoils the reason why we
are here. And if you get a big bunch of mail it can be time consuming.
SO WHO EVER YOU ARE .....BETTER STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will find you and
pour water on your hard drive.
Thanks for letting me spout off.

PS..now you all know what lists I am on..think of all the times I have to hit
the DEL key to kill my own note.
Thanks for bringing this up, Linda. Huntington(a)Huntington.com is a bogus
address as is Wells(a)Wells.com. The original postings are no longer on the
message boards, probably removed by the rootsweb staff. I also checked the
mail lists and they are not listed there either. In this case, the messages
were somehow gatewayed to the mail lists.

I have a comment about this site. I went and signed up and checked it out.
You are given "50 credits" for looking up names on this site. Now, you use
up 2 credits just looking for a name, whether the name is found or not, and
each addtional click to find more info about your person uses up 6 credits.
So you can see that your credits are used up quickly. 1000 additional
credits can be purchased from the web site master for $10. I guess there is
nothing wrong with that if you are willing to pay this amount to be able to
search, but my problem with it is that it is obvious these "millions of
names" were gleaned from GEDCOMS downloaded from other sites on the
internet. Probably sites where you can search for free, such as
ancestry.com and LDS site. I searched for my ancestor Benjamin Oxley just
to see if he would pop up, and he did, but the info on him was incorrect.
His birthdate was incorrect, and the info listed for his wife's father was
totally wrong. She was linked to the wrong family. to tell you the
truth, the file looked suspiciously like my own research from a few years
ago and it makes me wonder where this person got it from. I had once been
under the mistaken impression that Benjamin's wife was Mary Jane Huiet,
daughter of Simon Huiet of Montgomery County, Ohio, but I have since
learned that there were two Mary Jane Huiet/Hewetts in Montgomery County,
and Benjamin's wife was actually the daughter of Thomas Hewett. This
website had listed Philip Huiet as her father, who was actually Simon
Huiet's father.
Anyway, my point is this: I may be mistaken, but I believe the person who
is webmaster of this site is attempting to profit from other people's
research, and she may not be too selective about where she is getting this
info, and it is not verified. I suppose that is the same as the info you
gather from ancestry.com and LDS and World Connect project, the info is only
as good as the person who supplies it, but I would think long and hard
before I paid to search for info at this webstie.

AN UNDATED ARTICLE FROM WELLS COUNTY NEWSPAPER FROM CLETUS BEATY'S SCRAPBOOK Mr, Merriman dies on November 10, 1913
ATTORNEY J. B. MERRIMAN DIED MONDAY EVENING
Well Known Man, Former Representative in State Legislature,
Passed At His House Here After an Illness of Ten Days
OFFICIAL IN ODD FELLOWS LODGE
At 8:34 o'clock Monday evening death called James Bamford Merriman, well known attorney and former representative of Wells county in the Indiana Legislature. Mr. Merriman was one of the county's best known citizens and the entire community is in sympathy with the grief stricken family.
For ten days, Mr. Merriman had been ill with typhoid fever and pneumonia, and from the first little hope was given for his recovery. Monday, he appeared stronger, but during the late afternoon his condition weakened. Rapidly he grew worse and at 8:34 o'clock he breathed his last. Members of the family were with him at the time he passed away.
Mr. Merriman was a man of sterling character, always acting for the right and a friend of all the people. During his residence in Bluffton he became one of the cities best known men and was held in the highest esteem of all who knew him. Serving two terms in the state legislature, Mr. Merriman made a great record, fighting for all just measures that came before the body and having the thought of all the people with him at all times.
As a lawyer had been successful and his death comes as a serious blow to Charles G. Dailey, his partner in the practice of law since October 23, 1905. After receiving his bachelor of arts degree in Indiana University in 1902, Mr. Merriman took up the study of law at the Indiana Law School and received his bachelor of law degree in 1904. In the same year he was admitted to the Wells County Bar association and practiced for a year before entering into the partnership with Mr. Dailey.
Mr. Merriman was first elected as a representative in the state legislature in 1909 and re-elected and served in 1911. He was prominent as a representative and served on the highest committees of the House.
James Bamford Merriman was born in Salamonie township, Huntington county, April 5, 1877, the son of Rachel Lavina and James Dallas Merriman. At the time of his death he was 36 years, seven months and five days of age. His boyhood days were spent on the farm and his common schooling was secured in the Mt. Zion schools, eighty rods from his home.
His ambitions for higher education were very strong and in the years of 1895-96 he completed a three years course at the Normal University at Danville, Ind. during a period of two years. To make his way through school he returned home during the winter and taught at the Batson Bridge school, the Slocum and the Nole common schools.
Later he secured the position as principal of the Dillman school and after teaching there a year went to Poneto where he was made principal of the schools. From Poneto he went to Ossian and there acted as principal in the Ossian school in 1902-03. He resigned his position at Ossian to go to Bloomington, Ind., where he entered Indiana University finishing the law course in a period of two years.
In the year 1904, having finished his law course, Mr. Merriman came to Bluffton and started his practice of law, becoming one of the cities most successful attorneys.
His marriage to Cytha Irene Beatty of Ossian, took place October 31, 1906. To the union two children two children were born; Martha Irene, now aged four years, and Olive Marie, a daughter, dying in infancy. Surviving besides the daughter and wife are the parents and a brother Seliurious Merriman of Huntington county near Mt. Zion.
Mr. Merriman united with the Christian church at Mt. Zion during his boyhood, but upon coming to this city united with the First Baptist Church. He was an ardent church worker and had been a teacher of a mixed adult class, the largest in the city, in the Baptist Sunday school for several years.
Mr. Merriman was a member of the I. O. O. F. Ben Hur and K. of P. lodges. In the I. O. O. F. lodge, he was a member of the subordinate lodge Rebekah Lodge No. 83, Canton Lodge No. 56, and Encampment No. 141. At the time of his death he held the position of Grand High Priest of the Indiana Grand Encampment and at the state meeting next Tuesday he would have been appointed to the office of Grand Patriarch. In order to secure his present office he had in the past three years passed the offices of Grand Junior Warden, Grand Senior Warden. At various times he was appointed on special committees at the grand encampment. He was admitted to the I. O. O. F. lodge at Mt. Zion and several years after coming to this city he had his membership changed to the local lodge.

WILLIAM R. BEATY DIES TODAY IN OSSIAN
WAS PROMINENT FOR MANY YEARS IN COUNTY
TWO DAUGHTERS IN BLUFFTON
William R. Beaty, aged 72, for almost seventy years, or since a child of two, a resident of the northern part of Wells County and for forty years prominent in business there, passed away at one o'clock this morning at his home in Ossian. He had been in declining health for about three years. His illness developed into Bright's Disease, and for some time no hope had been given for his recovery and the family was prepared for the end.
Mr. Beaty was born December 9, 1842, in Holmes County, Ohio, a son of Joseph and Cynthia Beaty, and at his death was 72 years, 5 Months and 9 days. He was little more than two years of age when his parents moved from Ohio, to Indiana, and settled on a farm in Union township, this county, near the present location of the Center school house. He spent his childhood and young manhood on the farm, and, at the age of eighteen, on September 21, 1861, left the quiet of the farm life for enlistment in the Union Army for service in the Civil War, being mustered in at Anderson, Indiana, as a member of Company A, 34th Indiana regiment. He served with honor through the entire war and received his honorable discharge at Brownsville, Texas, on February 3, 1866.
Returning at the close of the war, Mr. Beaty returned to the farm to reside there for only a brief period, before locating in Ossian, to embark in business. He was united in marriage on December 17, 1868 with Miss Olina Woodward, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Woodward, and shortly after their marriage went to housekeeping in Ossian, where Mr. Beaty spent the remainder of his life. He first embarked in business in a store there, later entering the lumber business as a member of the Koontz Company, with William Koontz and T. A. Doan as partners. Later he and Thomas A. Doan became partners in the lumber business under the name of the Beaty & Doan Company, and he was identified with that firm for about forty years, retiring from active business only a few years ago. He was always prominent in the community, and was known as a progressive citizen, upright and honest, and enjoying the esteem of all who knew him.
Mr. Beaty's first wife passed away on March 14, 1884, leaving five of six children surviving. These children are Clark A. Beaty and Harry W. Beaty, of Ossian, Frank M. Beaty of Montpelier; and Mrs. John Gardiner and Mrs. Irene Merriman of Bluffton. One daughter, Hattie Pearl, died in infancy.
Mr. Beaty was married a second time, on July 28, 1886, his bride being Miss Laura Woodward, a sister of his first wife, and she survives with two children, namely C. V. Beaty, of Montpelier and Gerald Beaty of Ossian.
There also survives two brothers and a sister, Andrew D. Beaty, of Texas; James K. Beaty, living near Tocsin; and Mrs. W. M. Hamilton, of Warsaw.
The funeral services will be held at the Ossian M. E Church on Thursday afternoon, the cortege leaving the residence at 2 o'clock. The Rev. J. Orr Powell will have charge, and the Masonic Lodge will attend and observe the funeral rites of that order.
Mr. Beaty was a member of the Ossian Post, Grand Army of the Republic. Burial will be in the Oaklawn Cemetery at Ossian.

I also have a very large original portrait. My grandfather's name was charles vetor of summitville. My father's name is garland. I grew up in anderson, but have lived in texas for many years.

You should contact a lady by the name of Marolyn Roth at mroth(a)parlorcity.com . Marolyn lives in Bluffton. She has compiled a Oswalt geneology book. There are many Oswalts and their descendants in the Blackford and Wells county area.
There is a Joseph Oswalt who married Fannie Shimberry. They both died in Wells County in the 1870's. The last I knew, Marolyn had the Oswalt line traced back to Jacob Oswalt I, born in 1722. It is possible that your Oswalts connect in some way to her Oswalts. You have information pointing to Bluffton, Indiana and her Oswalts settled in Bluffton, Indiana.
The last I knew, Marolyn was still researching to fill in Oswalt branches. I believe she would like to hear from you. Good luck.

My husband's parents were Francis Marion " Frank Croy" and Anna Meyer Croy from Vera Cruz ID. I believe his father is George A Croy and mother Martha M Jones. Does this coincide with your info?
Thanks. Donna
