Catharine (Young) Metzner (1819-1910) was my paternal 3rd-great grandmother. What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical data I have discovered about her.
1. Vital Records
Catharine was born July 18, 1819 in France1,2,3,4,5,6,7, likely in the Elsass region.
1.1. Birth Certificate
I have not yet located a birth record for Catharine. Will continue to search sources such as FamilySearch in hopes of locating.

Catharine married John Metzner on November 16, 18398 in Newark, Licking County, Ohio. Her husband's obituary mentions this date as November 4, 18399.
1.2.1 Marriage Notice in Newspaper
I have not yet searched available newspapers of the time period to see if mention was made of Catharine and John's nuptials. Will add this to my list of "to-do" items for my next research trip.
1.2.2. Anniversary Notice
I have not yet searched available newspapers of the time period for mention of any anniversary celebrations. Their 25th anniversary would have been November 16, 1864. John passed away before their 50th.
1.2.3. Divorce Decree
Although there is no indication they ever divorced, a complete search of local court records will need to be made to be sure.
1.3. Death Certificate

Shaky Leaves : Harvey A. Huey (1866-1947)
Harvey A. Huey (1866-1947) was my paternal 2nd-great granduncle, the husband of Mary A. Metzner (1862-1925). Ancestry.com was showing a hint for him that lead to the discovery of what happened to him after Mary's death, including a second family.
Prior to this hint, I only had Harvey and Mary's death dates and their place of burial : Mt. Zion Cemetery in Jay County, Indiana. In the 1920 census, they were living in Davison Township, Genesee County, Michigan, where Harvey was a Free Will Baptist Preacher.
The hint was for the 1930 census of Waterford Township, Oakland County, Michigan, which had Harvey's surname enumerated as Hewey. He was head of household, aged 63, born in Indiana, renting his home and his occupation was that of a Methodist minister. Also in the household was a wife, Leona, aged 39, no occupation, born in Indiana and a son, Robert L., aged 12, born in Michigan.
The first thing that stood out, other than the change in denomination, was the inclusion of a son, Robert, who would have been born circa 1918 in Michigan. Harvey and Mary had no children, and Robert would have been born when Mary was alive. Did I even have the right family? I had to do some further digging to verify that this was indeed the correct individual.
By the 1940 census, Harvey and Leona were in Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Michigan, where Harvey was 73 years old working as a custodian for the University of Michigan. Leona was aged 49 with no occupation.
I searched both Ancestry.com and FamilySearch for a marriage record of Harvey Huey to a Leona sometime after 1925 and was unable to find a record.
What about Mary (Metzner) Huey, my maternal 2nd-great grandaunt, whose death year I only had as 1925 and burial in Mt. Zion cemetery? I did a search at SeekingMichigan.org and found her death date as January 2, 1925 in Vernon, Shiawassee County, Michigan. The certificate lists her name as Mary Ann Huey, born March 4, 1863 in Indiana, the son of John Metzner and Katharine Young. Her husband is listed as the Rev. H.A. Huey of Vernon, Michigan. The cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage. Burial was in Portland, Indiana.
The FindAGrave page for Harvey had a little more detail, including the date of death for Harvey as November 28, 1947 in Washtenaw County, Michigan. The site lists a wife Leona, and that Harvey's parents were Christopher Huey (1824-1894) and Clarissa Grattis Huey (1829-1895).
With the date and place in Michigan for Harvey's death, I went to SeekingMichigan to see what I could find on his death in 1947. No full copy of the death certificate yet, but this individual was born in 1866 with a given name of Harvey A Huey, which lines up with what I know about my 2nd-great granduncle.
So next I decided to turn back to the 1930 census record and trace the son, Robert, born circa 1918 in Michigan and find out where he came from.
In the 1920 census in Highland Park, Wayne County, Indiana, Robert was a 1 year and 8 month old son in the household of Max L. Huey, aged 26, born in Indiana, an office clerk in an auto shop. Also in the household was wife, Leona R. Huey, aged 27, born in Indiana, no occupation, and a brother-in-law, Leonard G. Maul, age 20, born in Michigan, a time clerk in an auto shop. I believe we have here is Leona marrying two different men with the same surname, who are likely related because all were from Indiana.
Max Lyndon Huey, son of Charles and Frances (Hozlett) Huey, married December 15, 1915 in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan to Leona Rose Maul, daughter of George and Mary (Alwerten) Maul. Max would have been born circa 1893 in Indiana and Leona circa 1891 in Indiana at the time of their marriage. The differences in age matches the household found in the 1920 census. Leona's surname was mis-indexed in the FamilySearch record, but when viewing it you can see that it was Maul.
Prior to this hint, I only had Harvey and Mary's death dates and their place of burial : Mt. Zion Cemetery in Jay County, Indiana. In the 1920 census, they were living in Davison Township, Genesee County, Michigan, where Harvey was a Free Will Baptist Preacher.
The hint was for the 1930 census of Waterford Township, Oakland County, Michigan, which had Harvey's surname enumerated as Hewey. He was head of household, aged 63, born in Indiana, renting his home and his occupation was that of a Methodist minister. Also in the household was a wife, Leona, aged 39, no occupation, born in Indiana and a son, Robert L., aged 12, born in Michigan.

The FindAGrave memorial page for Mary is pretty limited, only giving the year of birth and death and linking her to her husband, Harvey. I will contact the admin of the page and give them the updated death data.
The FindAGrave page for Harvey had a little more detail, including the date of death for Harvey as November 28, 1947 in Washtenaw County, Michigan. The site lists a wife Leona, and that Harvey's parents were Christopher Huey (1824-1894) and Clarissa Grattis Huey (1829-1895).

No full copy of the death certificate yet, but this individual was born in 1866 with a given name of Harvey A Huey, which lines up with what I know about my 2nd-great granduncle.
FamilySearch had additional information on the same death that tied Harvey who died in 1947 back to Portland, Jay County, Indiana:
So next I decided to turn back to the 1930 census record and trace the son, Robert, born circa 1918 in Michigan and find out where he came from.
In the 1920 census in Highland Park, Wayne County, Indiana, Robert was a 1 year and 8 month old son in the household of Max L. Huey, aged 26, born in Indiana, an office clerk in an auto shop.

Looking for further hints regarding Robert, I found a record of his marriage which gave me his middle name as Lee.
| Name: | Mr Robert Lee Huey |

| Gender: | Male |
| Race: | White |
| Birth Year: | abt 1918 |
| Birth Place: | Michigan |

| Film: | 302 |
| Film Title: | 82 Wayne 233530-236769 |
| Film Description: | Wayne (Dates TBD) |
I also found a record for Robert in the 1940 census, before his marriage, in Detroit, Wayne County, Indiana, in the household of Max Huey. Robert was listed as 21, single, born in Michigan. The head of the household, Max, aged 48, born in Indiana and his wife, Wilma, aged 38, born in Michigan. Both Max and his wife Wilma were social workers with the city welfare department and Robert was an adjuster with Commercial Credit company.
The World War II Draft Registration for Max shows his birthplace as Butler, Indiana (DeKalb County) on August 24, 1893. His full name was Max Lyndon Huey, and he worked for the city of Detroit in the Department of Public Welfare, which matches the 1940 census record.
I also located a FindAGrave for Max L. Huey (1893-1989) whom I believe is this same Max - who was married to Wilma as a second wife.
Ancestry.com had the following death record in their Michigan Death collection which matches the other date details for Max Lyndon Huey.
Likely, Max and Leona were divorced before Harvey A. Huey married her, sometime between 1925 (wife's death) and 1930 (census) when I first find them together.
What happened to Leona after Harvey's death in 1947? It would appear that she married for a third time to Marvin Macomber on September 28, 1949 in Dearborn, Wayne County, Michigan.
Additionally, I found the FindAGrave memorial for Leona R. Maul Macomber (1891-1969) in Howell, Livingston County, Michigan.
If you have any additional information on these families, I would love to hear from you.

Double Birthday at Westchester Attended by Crowd
Auto Bears Unusual Burden
Metzner Family Enjoys First Reunion in Many Years

The occasion celebrated the birthdays of Mrs. Catherine Metzner, 90 and Mrs. Amanda Axe, 28. Mrs. Metzner has been in the country since 1835, when she came from Germany.
The day was enlivened by games and exchanges of reminiscences of childhood days. In the afternoon, a memorable hour, for Grandma Metzner at least, was a short trip in George Maxwell's auto. With him also rode the youngest attendant, the 14 months old baby of Irvin Metzner.
Those present were: Wesley Metzner and family, William Metzner and family, Mrs. George Stolz, Mrs. Mary Huey of Rome City, Mrs. Harry Green and family, Mrs. Lydia Smith and family, Irvin Metzner and family, Mrs. Amanda Axe, Mrs. Nora Bergman, Mrs. Gilbert Pierpont of Indianapolis, Jacob Haley and family, Geo. S. Haley and family, William Haley and family, Levi Patterson, Fred Martin, Jacob Haley, E.T. Haffner, Mrs. Philip Stolz, Wesley Metzner, Eli Via, William Axe of Michigan, all Haley, George Maxwell, Mrs. Nora accompanied by their families. [typesetting error : should read from Wesley Metzner, Eli Haley, George Maxwell, Mrs. Nora Via, William Axe of Michigan, all accompanied by their families]
There were present, four children, six granchildren and 15 great grandchildren, besides other relatives.
---
Always wonderful to have these family reunions published in the papers, particularly the mention of the all of the names of the relatives. The trick is seeing if I can identify each of these named individuals and how they are related to Grandma Catherine Metzner

William Metzner and family - This is William F. Metzner (1844-1929), her son.
Mrs. George Stolz - This is Catherine E. (Metzner) Stolz (1853-1943), her daughter.

Mrs. Lydia Smith and family - This is Lydia Ann (Metzner) Smith, her granddaughter. Lydia was the daughter of William F. and Mary A. (Haley) Metzner.
Irvin Metzner and family - This is Irvin G. Metzner (1879- ), her grandson. Irvin was the son of William F. and Mary A. (Haley) Metzner.
Mrs. Amanda Axe - This is Amanda A. (Metzner) Axe, her granddaughter. Amanda was the daughter of William F. and Mary A. (Haley) Metzner.

I was able to identify the four children and the six grandchildren from the list of names. The others mentioned include members of the intermarried Haley and Metzner families.

Obituary : Catharine (Young) Metzner
 |
| Evangelical Messenger, July 6, 1910 page 27. |
----
Catharine (YOUNG) METZNER (1819-1910) was my paternal 3x great-grandmother, the daughter of Nicholas and Salome (YOUNG) YOUNG. She married John METZNER November 4, 1839 in Newark, Licking County, Ohio. The names of her 11 children were: John Adam, Henry, William F., George W., Louis Napoleon, Caroline H., Catherine E., Wesley T., Samantha E., Martha J., and Mary A. Catharine is buried in the Mt.

Harvey A. Huey Family - Fon Du Lac Co., WI, Noble Co., IN & Genesee Co., MI
Today I sourced the census data for the Harvey A. Huey family in the 1900-1920 census through three states - Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan. Harvey was a Free Will Baptist Minister, and was married to my paternal 2nd-great grandaunt Mary A. Metzner.
Harvey and Mary appear in the 1900 census in Fon Du Lac Co., WI, the 1910 census in Noble Co., IN, and in the 1920 census in Genesee Co., MI. They had no children; and in the 1900 census, Mary's mother, Catherine (Young) Metzner is living with the family.
In each census, they are renting their homes. As of yet, I do not know what happened to them after the 1920 census.
