1918 Bayliss-Harding Reunion -I visited a cousin of mine yesterday (Thelma Baugh Hall) who had the attached article in some of her papers. The article probably appeared in the Bryan, Ohio newspaper around September 1, 1918. According to Thelma, her grandmother (Anna Baylis Harold) and her mother (Josephine Harold Baugh) traveled to Bryan for the reunion in 1918. I might try to see if there was an article in the Bryan newspaper the following year as the date of the next reunion is mentioned in the article.

I have recently made contact with a cousin of mine, descending from an emigrant, Friedrich Bauer, born 1868 in Immenhausen, Wuerttemberg. Further it looks like that two other brothers Johann Ulrich and Jacob also lived in Montpelier, OH. Further information will follow. Do you have also a town called Altona or Altoona in Williams Co., because that's the information we had on the church records here in Germany. May be we lived also close to his brothers.  - Ruediger Kemmler from Munich, Germany

Margaret Cooney, mcooney@comcast.net, Nov. 13, 2002 - COONEY, MORRISON

I am a member of WCGS and have been researching the Cooney/Morrison names. I have a new email address-mcooney@comcast.net. This is my dilema. Dr. Harvey Cooney was my husband's ggrandfather. He lived in Bryan from the 1850's. He had two children. Harvey and Hattie May. Harvey married Blanche Morrison. They had one son James Morrison Cooney who was my husband' father. I have been unable to find any record of Harvey's death or burial. The Cooney's have a large plot in Fountain Grove Cemetery. Dr. Harvey, Harriett and Hattie May are buried there. The records also list Lawrence Mc Daniels next to Hattie. Lawrence also went by Frank McDaniels. I have traced Frank and Hattie to Owosso,MI. Hattie died in 1920 and Frank remarried and died in 1941 and is buried in MI with his second wife. I have been in Bryan and checked the cemetery record books before we found out that Frank is buried in MI. I know Frank and Hattie May are the same couple because the newspaper obituary for Frank lists Hattie as his first wife and the fact that they came from Bryan, Ohio. Is there any way to find out when the records show that Lawrence Frank McDaniels was buried? Do you think that it could be Harvey Cooney next to his sister? When we checked the records there is no record of Harriet being buried in Fountain Grove and yet the newspaper obit stated that is where she was buried in 1917.

I know that Harvey was alive in 1924 in Cleveland when his wife Blanche died. I'm hoping that if we can find out when the records show that Lawrence Frank McDaniels was buried in Fountain Grove,I could check with the state for a death record for Harvey. Have you ever heard of a person as being listed in two different cemeteries in two different states? Thank you for any help you could give me on this mystery.

Bobbi A Harrison, doubleeaglette@juno.com, Nov. 29, 2002 - ROOP, DIEHL, etc.

I am the administrator of the Roop Descendants & Related Families at MyFamily.com & yesterday I was contacted by the g-g-g-granddaughter of Sarah Jane (Diehl) & Amos Roop & she shared this obituary. Her name is Jeannie (Roop) Richardson E-mail JeanniusR@aol.com It was sent to her by a cousin of hers who found it in the Hicksville library & it's from the Hicksville News. We are in hopes that by sharing this obit with the Defiance Co. OH Genweb that we might receive the help we need in identifying the daughter named in the obit, Mrs. Frank Spires. We don't know her given name. There were actually 5 children, the eldest being Winsfield "Scott" Roop who was b-abt. 1869, as he is age 11 in the 1880 census with Sarah & Amos. Scott married Nettie Kieckner & they had a son named Earl. I have a photo of Scott & Nettie taken by the "Howe's Photo Studio, 18 South Paulina Street, Near Lake, Chicago" which is embossed on the matt. Since Scott is not mentioned in Sarah's obit, we are assuming that he may have predeceased his mother who died in 1928 in Hicksville. The other 3 sons have all been accounted for.

Our site also has photos of Sarah with her daughter & the 3 younger sons mentioned in the obit, as well as one of the Amos Roop family, showing all 5 children & both parents. The latter photo & the one of Scott & Nettie, were in my grandmother's photo album that she inherited from her mother, Mary Jane (Roop) Seekatz who was a sister to Amos. The photo with the 4 children as adults with Sarah is from Jeannie.
