Hi, Angela.
I can help. I have been researching the Moore's too. Frank's father,
Lewis Thompson Moore was my great-great grandmother's brother. Frank is
buried in Columbia City, IN, Blue River Cemetery. I visited there this
summer and met his grandson, Jack Moore from Columbia City. Jack's
father was Claud.
What else are you looking for? Do you subscribe to the Columbiana Co.,
Ohio OGS? I know from Frank's obit. that he was struck by lightning on
Andrew Briggs farm, etc. Give me a holler; I'd be glad to share.
Meanwhile, I need to read another 77 e-mails from today. Look forward
to hearing from you.

Okay, now that I have my coffee cup filled up, I'll try putting together
an understandable email! I've got many families, but here is a run down of
the surnames I'll include in this email so if you have no idea who they are,
you can skip over my email!
They are: Foster - Ortman - Moore - Egolf - Baker - Gaerte - Bair -
Hazen - Snyder
FOSTER - Eli Foster (b. 28 Dec. 1819 Perry Co., Oh., d. 20 July 1905
Whitley Co., buried Greenhill Cem.).
Spouse (#1) - Rebecca Ortman (b. 29 July 1829 Perry Co., Oh., d. 14 Oct.
1882, Whitley Co., buried Greenhill Cem.) married on 30 March 1848, Perry
County, Ohio. Daughter of Samuel and Hannah Ortman.
Spouse (#2) - Sarah Hatchcroft Green (b. 27 Apr. 1827 England, d. 23
Mar. 1896 Whitley Co., buried Greenhill Cem.) married 11 Nov. 1883, Whitley
Co.
Eli and Rebecca had the following children: Malissa (1849-1873), Hiram
(1851-1926), Franklin (1852-1876) and Hannah (1854-1875).
Eli is my 4th great-grandfather, and his son Franklin my 3rd great
grandfather. I've got Franklin's line pretty well covered but what I have
on his siblings is 'full of holes.'
MOORE - Frank Moore (b. 26 June 1866 somewhere in Ohio?, d. 26 June
1906, Whitley Co.)
Spouse - Clara Egolf (b. May 1876 Whitley Co., d. ??) daughter of Israel
& Anjelic (Baker) Egolf
Children: Claude (1899-1973) and Jessie Blondine (1904-1993)
Frank and Clara are my 2nd great grandparents, and as you can see, I
don't have a whole lot on them. Clara married William A. Hazen after Frank
died and they had one son (that I know of), Paul. Anyone know anything on
them? Frank Moore has been a brick wall of mine for quite some time.
EGOLF - Israel Egolf (b. 27 Oct. 1838, Fairfield Co., Oh., d. 25 Apr.
1924, Whitley Co., buried Greenhill Cem.) son of Henry and Rachel (Roshen)
Egolf.
Spouse: Anjelic Baker (b. 2 Sep 1847 Ohio, d. 3 Oct 1907, Whitley Co.,
buried Greenhill Cem.).
Children: Clara (above), Florence (1879-?), Laura (1880-1885), Charles
(1887-1965).
Anyone know anything of who Anjelic Baker's parents were? This has been
another one of my brick walls! Israel and Anjelic are my 3rd great
grandparents.
GAERTE - Joseph Gaerte (b. 15 Oct 1824, Cumberland Co., Pa., d. 24 Jun
1895 Whitley Co., buried Eberhard Cem.), son of Jacob and Mary (Keiper)
Gaerte.
Spouse: Eliza Snyder (b. 10 Sep. 1833 Stark Co., Ohio, d. 15 Jan 1909
Whitley Co., buried Eberhard Cem.) married 3 Oct 1850, Stark Co.
Children: Ozias (1851-1930), Andrew (1853-1918), Priscilla (1854-1936,
Mary (1856-1929).
Who are Eliza's parents?
GAERTE - Ozias Gaerte (b. 30 Oct 1851 Ohio, d. 29 Sep. 1930, Whitley
Co., buried St. Matthews (Hively) Cem.).
Spouse: Mary Anne Bair (b. 5 Nov. 1861 Indiana, d. 19 Oct 1934, Whitley
Co., buried St. Matthews (Hively) Cem.) married 27 Jan. 1879, Whitley Co.
Children: Winfield (1880-?), Maurice (1883-1954), Clarence (1884-?),
Elma (1885-?), Viola (1887-1889), Lola (1891-?), Grover (1904-1973)
Who are Mary Anne's parents and where was she born? What happened to
their children? I have quite a bit of info on Grover, who is my great
grandfather, but the rest (beside Viola) I am a baffled about.
Okay, those are a few! As you can tell my information is like Swiss
cheese....full of holes!
I'd be glad to share what information I have.
Best Regards,
Angela Kneller
