Harvey Allen Wehrly & Nettie (Shreeve) Wehrly

Cousin Tonya Lang provided me with a copy of this picture of her great-grandparents, Harvey Allen Wehrly and Nettie (Shreeve) Wehrly.  She found my blog while searching for information on the Wehrly family.  

Harvey was the younger brother of my great-grandmother Barbara Isabel Wehrly, making Tonya and I third cousins.

Harvey was born December 21, 1876 in Salamonia, Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana, the son of William P. and Olive Jane (Smith).  He married Nettie Shreeve on October 9, 1898 and they were parents of 7 children.

According to Tonya, Harvey died when she was 8, but she remembered that he always wore a three piece suit with a tie, and kept a watch with a watch chain in his vest pocket.  I look forward to sharing more information with her.

Good thing I took a vacation day today.  Here I thought I could get some things ready to go on the garden.  Over 10 inches fell here in Grant County.

Distant Relatives in Darke County, Ohio Marriage Records

Darke County, Ohio, Marriages, 1899-1911 by Doris Aultman

Located this book at the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne, Indiana several months ago, just now getting around to going through the information.  Found a few relatives mentioned in these Darke County records.

Groendyke, Perry D. to Anna Miller, 24 March 1900.  Perry was the son of Elias Groendyke and Hester Teaford.  Anna was the daughter of George Miller and Barbara Bollinger.   Perry was my maternal 3rd-great granduncle.  Anna was my paternal second cousin 3 times removed (through the Petry line). The Groendyke surname is sometimes found as Groenendyke.

Wiley, Elmer C. to Pearle M. Lambertson, 16 March 1904.  Pearle was the daughter of James Lambertson and Jane Bish.  Pearle was my maternal 2nd cousin 3 times removed.  Prior to finding this record, I did not have her in my database.

Both of these marriages were performed by the same minister, W.K. Albright.
