Physician: J.A. Morehouse
Manner of Death : Natural

Cause of Death : Chronic diarrhea, hepatitis, peritonitis, knitis

The above death certificate is for my paternal 2nd-great grandfather, John Adam Metzner (1840-1895).  I obtained this copy of his death record on my most recent research trip to Jay County.

Facts that I already knew were his death date, December 4, 1895 and his place of birth as being Ohio. His obituary lists his place of birth as Licking County, Ohio. The time of death is not listed, but his obituary stated that he died at 7 o'clock in the evening, at his home in the north-east corner of Wayne township.

The death certificate named his parents as John Metzner born in Germany and Catherine Young born in France.  This corresponds with other information I have.

The death certificate also states he was married.  His wife, Clara (Moulton) Metzner outlived him nearly four more years.

The death certificate notes the physician was J.A. Morehouse and that the cause of death was chronic diarrhea, hepatitis, peritonitis and knitis.  That does sound painful.

He was a veteran of the Civil War, having been severely wounded near Burnt Hickory during the Atlanta campaign.

Henry Martin Buys LeMaster Grocery

Henry Martin, former auditor of Jay county, has purchased the A.R. LeMaster grocery at the corner of North Meridian and Votaw streets and is now in charge.

Mr. Martin in an announcement today of the change in proprietors, states that he will maintain the high service and quality of the former owner.  The name of the place will be called "Martin's Market."

Mr. Martin is a native of Jay county and has a wide acquaintance as well as experience as he formerly conducted a store at New Corydon.

The A.R. LeMaster was Arthur Raymond LeMaster (1885-1971), my paternal great-granduncle.

I knew that he operated a grocery but was unaware until finding this article where it was located exactly.  Now I need to dig into the directories to see if I  can locate any advertisements, etc.

Research Trip Notes : Jay County, Indiana

Back on Guy Fawkes Day, I treated myself to a birthday present of genealogical research in Jay County, Indiana.  It was a productive day.  Over the next few weeks I hope to digest the data and update my database with my finds.  

At the Jay County Health Department, I was able copies of death certificates for the following ancestors : Cora Belle (Metzner) Haley, Eli Weldon Haley, William P. Wehrly, Mary Keziah (Chew) LeMaster, and John Adam Metzner.  These were ones that had been identified as missing from my files as I worked through the Exploratory Analysis series.  The health department provides for $ 4.00 a "Geneology Death Record", complete with mis-spelling of genealogy.  At least it is better than nothing, more on that later.

At the Jay County Clerk's Office, I was able to have the most productive and fun research experience.  I had lists of items that I wanted to research from my previous trips to Jay County, and once I found the boxes where the originals were kept, the clerks let me pretty much have free reign.  I was able to make several copies of court cases, though they did charge $ 1.00 per page.  I was hoping to use my Flip-Pal, but it would have been too time consuming and of course nothing I wanted to copy was very small.

At the Jay County Public Library, I searched newspapers during the time period of the Dillinger Terror Gang crime spree, hoping to find mention of a local connection to Harry Pierpont.  I did manage to find an article that stated the gang had passed through the Loblolly area.  I also found an article about Arthur LeMaster's grocery store, and the death notice of a potential Haley relative.  The reporting during the time period of 1933-34 was fascinating with all of the stories of robberies, union strikes, jail breaks, etc.

At the Jay County Historical Society museum, I was able to obtain copies of plat maps from 1881 and numerous marriage returns from the clerk's office.  The society had obtained the original marriage returns and have placed them in plastic sheet protectors and are keeping them in binders in the museum.  This find was a gold mine, as it was much cheaper to make copies here ($0.25) than at the clerk's office.  The society is staffed by volunteers, but their museum is one of the best local history museum's I've seen.  They are working on digitizing many of the local records as well.

Over the next few weeks, I intend to post some of these findings to the blog. A few of them added additional family members and provided areas for further research.
