Wehrly Reunion, 1920, Greenville, Ohio

Located this mention of the Wehrly family reunion at Newspapers.com in the Muncie newspaper from 1920:

Muncie Evening Press
Muncie, Indiana
July 16, 1920, page 17
 PORTLAND.
Among the relatives from this county, who will attend the Wehrly reunion to be held Saturday, August 1 at the fair grounds in Greenville, Ohio, are the following: Mr. and Mrs. Blaine Wehrly and son, William Lewis of West High street, Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Wehrly of East Main street and son, Robert, Mr. and Mrs. L.D. Jackson of South Shank street, the Arthur Jackson family of South Meridian street, the Chesley LeMaster family of West High street, the Alva Wehrly family the L.C. LeMaster family and Mr. and Mrs. Levi Petry of Salamonia.
 ----
Those named were all descendants of William P. Wehrly (1845-1909) of Salamonia, Indiana.  Blaine, John W. and Alva were his sons; daughter Minerva married L.D. Jackson, daughter Barbara married L.C. LeMaster.  Levi Petry was a son of Charles Petry and Susannah Wehrly, William P.'s sister.  I would love to know who all the other members of the extended family who attended the reunion in Greenville, as my William was the youngest of the family, with many relatives in Ohio.

Exploratory Data Analysis Through 2x-Great Grandaunts & Uncles

Though it took much longer that I had hoped, have finally finished by series of exploratory data analysis through my 2x-great grandaunts and granduncles.  Previously, I had written about my results through my 2x-great grandparents.  My next steps are to move on to my 3x-great grandparents as well as start work on some of Eileen's ancestors and Corinne's ancestors.

Working on this series has allowed me to find out where there are gaps in my research and has added much data.  Now I just need to follow up with my "to-do" lists before my next research trip to make sure I use my time effectively.

Here are the links to posts about the exploratory data analysis posts for my 2x-great grandaunts and granduncles:

Phebe Ann Beals (1831- ), Randolph County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Phebe Ann Beals (1831-    ) was the daughter of Daniel and Catherine (Jackson) Beals.  Her marriage on August 14, 1852 in Randolph County, Indiana to Jesse F. Baldwin was found in the database.  Prior to this find, I didn't have the exact location of their marriage.

"Indiana, Marriages, 1811-1959," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V5P3-BLY : accessed 15 Oct 2013), Jesse F Baldwin and Phebe Ann Beals, 1852.
Phebe was my maternal fourth cousin six times removed.  Our common ancestors were John Beals and Mary Clayton.  Nothing further is known about her family at this point.

Exploratory Data Analysis: Minerva Prudence (Wehrly) Jackson (1867-1948)

Minerva Prudence (Wehrly) Jackson (1867-1948) was my paternal great-grandaunt.  What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical data I have discovered about her.

1. Vital Records

     1.1. Birth Certificate

          Minerva was born July 25, 1867 in Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana1.  The State of Indiana did not require state-wide registrations of birth until after 1907.  Jay County, Indiana only has birth records from 1882.

          1.1.1. Birth Notice in Newspaper

               If Minerva's birth was announced in the local newspaper, it has been lost to history.  The Jay County Public Library has newspapers from the late 1880s.  The holdings of the Indiana State Library in Indianapolis do not indicate any newspapers of the time period.

          1.1.2. Bible Record

               I am not aware of any surviving Bible record of the Wehrly family.  Will continue to reach out to extended family in hopes that one does exist.

          1.1.3. Baptismal Record

               I am not aware of any baptismal record for Minerva, nor the church affiliation of the Wehrly's.

          1.1.4. Adoption Record

              There is no indication that Minerva was adopted.

     1.2. Marriage License

          Minerva married Lawrence Delbert Jackson on October 7, 18851, probably in Jay County, Indiana.  Will need to search at the Jay County courthouse for a copy of this record.

          1.2.1 Marriage Notice in Newspaper

               Once I have the correct location for their marriage, will search contemporary newspaper accounts to see if mention was made of their nuptials.

          1.2.2. Anniversary Notice

              Minerva and Lawrence's 25th wedding anniversary would have been October 7, 1910.  Will need to search contemporary newspaper accounts to see if mention was made of any anniversary celebrations.

          1.2.3. Divorce Decree

               There is no indication that Minerva and Lawrence were ever divorced, but a search of the Jay County, Indiana court records needs to be conducted.

     1.3. Death Certificate

          Minerva died March 18, 19481 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California2. I need to verify this fact and try to obtain a copy of her death certificate.

          1.3.1. Obituary in Newspaper

               Will need to add searching for Minerva's obituary to my list of "to-do" items for my next research trip.  Likely it was mentioned in the Jay County, Indiana papers.

          1.3.2. Funeral Home Records

               Once I have obtained a copy of her obituary, I might be able to identify the funeral home that provided services and then contact them to see if they had any further records.

          1.3.3. Tombstone Photograph

               Minerva and Lawrence's tombstone in the Salamonia Cemetery in Jay County, Indiana3 has been photographed and was the subject of a previous post.    The tombstone reads "M. Prudence 1867-1948" and "L. Delbert 1865-1929".

2. Census Records

     2.1. Federal Census Records

          2.1.1. 1940 Federal Census

               On April 5, 1940, Minerva was enumerated in the George Ganzmiller household in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio4, as Prudence Jackson, age 69, widowed mother-in-law.  Her residence in 1935 was the same location.  She was born in Indiana.  No occupation was listed.  Living in the same household were George Ganzmiller, age 47, born Ohio and Eva Ganzmiller, age 43, born in Ohio. Eva was Minerva's daughter.

          2.1.2. 1930 Federal Census

               On April 4, 1930, Minerva was enumerated in the William D. Jackson household in Elkhart, Elkhart County, Indiana5, as Minerva P. Jackson, age 63, widowed mother.  She was aged 18 at her first marriage.  She was born in Indiana, and her parents were born in Indiana.  She could read and write and spoke English.  No occupation was listed.  Living in the household were William D. Jackson, age 38, optometrist, born Indiana, Iva M. Jackson, age 32, born Illinois, Iva M. Jackson, age 4 1/2, born Indiana, William D. Jackson, age 3 1/2, born Indiana, John L. Jackson, age 1 11/12, born Indiana. William was Minerva's son.

          2.1.3. 1920 Federal Census

               On January 8, 1920, Minerva was enumerated in the Lawrence D. Jackson household in the 4th Ward of Portland, Jay County, Indiana6, as Minerva P. Jackson, wife, age 53.  She could read and write and speak English.  She was born in Indiana, and both parents were born in Indiana.  No occupation was listed.

          2.1.4. 1910 Federal Census

               On April 1, 1910, Minerva was enumerated in the Lawrence D. Jackson household in Wayne Township, Jay County, Indiana7, as Minerva P. Jackson, wife, age 40.  She was married for 24 years, with 8 children, 7 of whom were living.  She was born in Indiana, with her parents both born in Ohio.  She could read and write and speak English.

          2.1.5. 1900 Federal Census

               On June 1, 1900, Minerva was enumerated in the Lawrence D. Jackson household in Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana8, as Minerva P. Jackson, wife, age 33.  She was born July 1866 in Indiana.  She had been married 15 years, and was the mother of 6 children, 5 of whom were living.  Her father and mother were born in Ohio.  She could read and write and spoke English.

          2.1.6. 1880 Federal Census

               On June 3, 1880, Minerva was enumerated in the William Wherhly household in Salamonia, Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana9, as Minerva Wherhly, daughter, age 12.  She had attended school within the year. She was born in Indiana, the birthplace of her father was blank, and her mother was born in Michigan.

          2.1.7. 1870 Federal Census

               On August 2, 1870, Minerva was enumerated in the William P. Werly household in Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana10, as Minerva P. Werly, age 3, born in Indiana.

     2.2. State Census Records

          The State of Indiana conducted state census in 1853, 1857, 1871, 1883, 1889, 1901, 1913 and 1921.  These, however, were merely for the purposes of 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 Jackson farm.

3. Military Records

     3.1. Draft Registration

          Not applicable, as Minerva was female.

     3.2. Pension Records

          I am not aware of any military service by her husband or father that would have made her eligible for benefits.  Her father did serve in the Civil War, but I don't believe she was ever eligible for minor's benefits.

     3.3. Service Records

          Not applicable, as Minerva was female.

4. Land Records

     4.1. Deed Records

          Deed records need to be thoroughly searched in Jay County and Elkhart County, Indiana to see what records might mention Minerva and her family.  Will add this to my list of "to-do" items for my next research trip.

     4.2. Plat map / county map

          Plat maps and county maps for Jay County and Elkhart County, Indiana will need to be searched.  Will contact the local historical society to see what maps they might have in their collection.

5. Supplemental Records

     Supplemental records available for research on Minerva include city/county directories, court records and will and probate records.  Will add these to my "to-do" list for my next research trip.
