This subject matter is very intriguing to me! Regrettably, I can offer no
assistance to Kim but am hoping someone can check to see if perhaps the home
of my gr-grandparents and/or the home of my gr-gr-grandparents might be on
this historical list. As far as I know, they weren't on the list at my last
visit to the area.
I never lived in the area so I am relying on my memories of my visits. My
gr-grandparents home, where my grandmother and mother were born, sits on a
corner lot on SW Johnson St, next to where the railroad tracks once ran.
(my Mother remembered being "switched" by her grandmother for being down at
the tracks). My gr-gr-grandparents' home was across the street their son
and daughter in law's home. But I can't remember if their home was East of
South of them.
My gr-gr-grandfather, Solomon Custer, owned a grocery store. My
gr-grandfather, Benjamin F. Custer, was a barber.
Solomon's parents are Paul & Mary (Garver) Custer. All five generations,
including my Mother, are buried at South Lawn Cem.

Hi Mike,
My name is Kimberly (Johnson) Pillon. My family on my dad's side has lived
in Dublin, IN for about 75 years. The historical society in Wayne County
has made my grandparents house a land mark. I am doing research on my
family and will be up there at the end of May. I was wondering if there was
a specific place I can go to, to do some search or if you might know
anything about my family. They live in Dublin, on Franklin st. My
great-grandfather was Peter Johnson and died in 1930's from gas in WW1 and
is buried in Wayne COunty cemetary, but his death was not in indiana, it
might have been in ohio on a job. My great-grand father cecil baker died
early too, he was a part of the indiana militia. Any info you have to
places to go would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kim
