August Gegenheimer Family - Jay Co., IN
Today I sourced the census data for the August Gegenheimer family in Jay Co., IN for the 1900-1920 census. August married my 2nd-great aunt Sarah C. Haley. In 1900 and 1910 he was living in Wabash Twp. but by 1920 they had moved to Wayne Twp. in Jay County.
August was a farmer and immigrated from Germany in either 1838 or 1858, depending on the census year. I tend to believe it was the 1838 year. Sarah's mother is listed as being born in Ohio on two census years, and then in Pennsylvania on the third. Sarah is the mother of 10 children, all living by the time of the 1910 census, but so far I only have the names of five in my database.
There is much more to discover about this family - not only the names of 5 children, but whether or not August was a Civil War vet. The family moved to Indiana before 1885, so they may be in the 1880 census either in Indiana or Ohio.
