It is information to any who have already sent in
for the 1885 History of Steuben County, Indiana and the Original
Landowners of Steuben County, Indiana.
The two new publications from the Steuben County Genealogical Society
are almost ready to be mailed out. Be looking for yours if you have
ordered soon. There had been a delay in the publishing of the 1885,
however, that's been handled and they are closer to being sent out!
This 1885 is indexed so well that it is a real treasure!
Hi,
I'm new to your list because I don't think I have any relatives in
Indiana but I have a problem and I'm hoping someone can help me. My
THRONE relatives were from Ohio but may have lived in Indiana. My GG
Grandfather had two children that died when age two and seven. Their
names were Florence THRONE b. 1860 d.1862 and Alex THRONE b. 1856 d.
1863. I've found a newspaper article that states the following (the
ages are different but I believe that it is talking about the same
children) Mr. Frank THRONE
If you're missing a male ancestor that was born between
1830 and 1846, it's poosible that he was one of the nearly
460 Civil War soldiers aboard the Sultana steamship that
exploded on the Miss. River, 7 miles N of Memphis, TN on
27 APR 1865.
Indiana was exceeded only by Ohio and Tennessee for having
the most soldiers aboard. While 2 in 3 Hoosiers aboard survived
the ordeal, the rest never made it home.
