Any more information on Frank would be appreciated.

Holly Caldwell, tnresident@aol.com, July 25, 2001 - BAXTER, LANTZ, BOARDMAN, MARTIN, WITZEL, ARNOLD, FRY My ggrandfather James Wilson Baxter was married to a woman named Elizabeth Lantz (June 1902?). They were living in Williams County in 1906. Family history has it that he was divorced when he married my ggrandmother (Sarah Grace Boardman) June 11, 1907, but I think the law in Ohio required a long waiting period before a divorce was final. James and Sarah Grace married in Dakota City, Neb. and claimed to live in Souix City, Iowa. They were really living in Parkersburg, WVa. as far as I know, and I believe "Grace" was visiting family out west at the time. Was James really divorced? What happened to Elizabeth? Please help me solve this mystery.
Would like to hear from descendants of John and Mary Lantz who died in Williams County, Ohio. John died June 30, 1902. When he wrote the will in February, he was 72. His children are listed as David Lantz (Hattie), Matilda Martin (John R.), Catharine Arnold (Joseph P.), Elizabeth Baxter (JW), Minerva Lantz, and Eliza Witzel (Albert). A granddaughter, Fern Fry was also mentioned as well as a child he had adopted. The will was contested by Eliza Witzel. He owned land in Montpelier, Bridgewater, Superior Townships.

Lori N. Davies, lorindavies@home.com, Aug. 12, 2001 - MOSHER, MEEK, WALDEN, NEIDHARDT, YACKEE
I am looking for a possible connection to my husband's Moshers that were in Wood County in 1910 and then in Defiance County in 1920. Lucy Mosher was living with sons John (13 yo) and Venson C (10 yo) in 1910, however by 1920 both sons were living in Defiance County and both married. John married Edith WALDEN, and Vincent (Venson) married Hazel MEEK. Hazel and her family lived in Williams County in 1910, so the boys may have come to Defiance by way of Williams Co., but they did live close to the Neidhardt family and Edward Yackee, so I am hoping that Nellie was related to those Moshers. I know very little else at this point. Lucy's husband may have been Wesley Mosher.
