Exploratory Data Analysis: Clara (Moulton) Metzner (1843-1899)
 |
| Clara (Moulton) Metzner
Clara (Moulton) Metzner (1843-1899) was my paternal 2nd-great grandmother. What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical data I have collected about her.
|
1. Vital Records
1.1. Birth Certificate
Clara was born September 30, 18431 in Licking County, Ohio.
The State of Ohio did not require birth certificates until 1867.
1.1.1. Birth Notice in Newspaper
I have not been able to locate any contemporary newspaper accounts of Clara's birth.
1.1.2. Bible Record
I am not aware of the survival of a Moulton family Bible. I will continue to reach out to extended family in hopes that one does exist.
1.1.3. Baptismal Record
I have not located a baptismal record for Clara. I do not know what faith the Moulton family was at the time of Clara's birth; in her adult life she was a member of the Evangelical Association.
1.1.4. Adoption Record
There is no indication that Clara was adopted.
1.2. Marriage license
Clara married John Adam Metzner on November 13, 1864 in Jay County, Indiana2. Their marriage license was the subject of a previous post.
1.2.1. Marriage notice in newspaper
I am not aware of any surviving contemporary newspapers from Jay County, Indiana that might have mentioned Clara and John's nuptials.
1.2.2. Anniversary notice
I need to search newspaper records in Jay County, Indiana for mention of their wedding anniversary. Their 25th would have been November 13, 1889.
1.2.3. Divorce decree
There is no indication that they were ever divorced, and a recent search of court records did not turn up any mention of a divorce.
1.3. Death Certificate
Clara died July 2, 1899 in Westchester, Jay County, Indiana3. I need to obtain a copy of her death certificate from the Jay County, Indiana Health Department on my next research trip.
1.3.1. Obituary in newspaper
Clara's obituary appeared in the July 13, 1899 edition of the Evangelical Messenger1. The obituary was the subject of a previous post.
I need to search contemporary Jay County, Indiana newspapers for local mention of her obituary.
1.3.2. Funeral home records
The Jay County Library has funeral home records from the various funeral homes in the county. Will add this to my "to-do" list for my next research trip.
1.3.3. Tombstone photograph
Clara's tombstone in the Mt. Zion cemetery, Noble Township, Jay County, Indiana has been photographed. Will have to make this the subject of a future "Tombstone Tuesday" post.
2. Census Records
2.1. Federal Census Records
2.1.1. 1880 Federal Census
On June 23, 1880, Clara was enumerated in the John A. Metzner household in Wayne Township, Jay County, Indiana4, as Lena A. Metzner, age 36, keeping house. She was born in Ohio and both her parents were born in Vermont. Living in the household were husband John, age 40, born Ohio; daughter Cora B., age 11, born Indiana; son Wesley F., age 8, born Indiana; and a lodger, H. Shaudleman, age 29, born in Ohio.
2.1.2. 1870 Federal Census
On July 4, 1870, Clara was enumerated in the John A. Metzner household in Wayne Township, Jay County, Indiana5, as Clara A. Metzner, age 26, keeping house. She was born in Ohio. Living in the household were husband John A., age 28, born Ohio; son William, age 3, born in Indiana, and daughter Cora, age 1, born in Indiana.
2.1.3. 1860 Federal Census
On June 20, 1860, Clara was enumerated in the Lydia Mouton household in St. Albans Township, Licking County, Ohio6, as Clara Moulton, age 16, born in Ohio. She had attended school within the year. Living in the household were Lydia Moulton, age 64, born Vermont; Emeline Moulton, age 38, born Ohio, and Lydia Moulton, age 11, born Ohio,
2.1.4. 1850 Federal Census
I have not yet located Clara in the 1850 federal census. Her father, Albert, is enumerated in Placerville, El Dorado County, California.
2.2. State Census Records
The State of Indiana conducted state census in 1853, 1857, 1871, 1877, 1883, 1889, 1901, 1913, 1919 and 1931. These however, were merely for the purposes of determining legislative apportionment.
2.3. Agricultural Census Records
I have not yet investigated these types of records to see what light they might shed on the Metzner farm.
3. Military Records
3.1. Draft Registration
Not applicable, as Clara was female.
3.2. Pension Records
Clara did receive a widow's pension based on her husband's Civil War service. I need to make these records the subject of a future post.
3.3. Service Records
Not applicable, as Clara was female.
4. Land Records
4.1. Deed Records
Deed records need to be thoroughly searched in Jay County, Indiana for the Metzner family.
4.2. Plat map / county map
Jay County published a plat map in 1874, 1881, 1887, 1901, 1910 and 1920 that might be relevant to my search for the Metzner homestead.
5. Supplemental Records
Supplemental records to search for Clara include city/county directories, court records and will and probate records. Will add these to my "to-do" list for my next research trip to Jay County.

Where Was She Buried?
My latest post on the data I have collected for my 2x-great grandmother Ida had me re-examining some data (which was the point of the posts) I had collected about her . Particularly, I was focusing on her death certificate in an attempt to determine where she is buried.
The death certificate only states the place of burial as “M.E. Cemetery” and the funeral director was “C.H. McNeely”. The question in my mind is whether Ida was buried in Owen County or Monroe County.
Ida’s mother, Mary (Swafford) Gilliland is buried in Elletsville, Monroe County in the Methodist cemetery, and I believe that Ida may be buried there as well, but in an unmarked grave. Photographs of Mary's tombstone are found at FindAGrave. Also in the same cemetery is a Columbus Hale McNeely, whom I believe to be the C.H. McNeely listed on Ida's death certificate.
I reached out to the Monroe County Public Library in Bloomington and spoke to Christine at their Indiana Room (812-349-3080). She was very helpful and told me she would check into the records they might have. I was hoping that they might have records on McNeely and the funeral home.
I also placed a call to the Monroe County History Center (812-337-2517) and spoke to their genealogy library. They also told me they would do some research, and that the McNeely family was well known in the Elletsville area.
Doing some online checking, I also discovered that there is a Methodist Cemetery Association of Elletsville, located at 708 W. Vine Street. No contact phone or email was listed, so I will have to write them to see if they have any information on who is buried in the plot.
I spoke to Christine later in the day and she was able to tell me about several McNeely's, but didn't have anything definite on C.H. McNeely as a funeral director. She also did some checking on Ida, but had the same negative results that I did (ie. not found in 1900 census in Owen County).
I later received an email from the library manager at the Monroe County History Center who found an obituary for C.H. McNeely, which referenced him as an undertaker in Elletsville. They were going to check with a local expert on Elletsville and get back with me regarding the existence of any funeral home records.
Hopefully these records are out there, I just haven't turned over all the leads. The letter to the cemetery association might turn up plot information about who is buried where, etc. and solve this mystery.
