> Ebenezer MANCHE, son of Daniel and Mary RUCH Manche, is a cousin of mine.
Mary MANCHE's sister was LOUISA RUCH MCGLAUGHLIN. Her mother was CATHERINE
RUCH. All are buried at the Amanda Cemetery. Ebenezer is buried near his
grandmother CATHARINE RUCH. Also buried near Ebenezer is his cousin
ELLSWORTH MCGLAUGHLIN who died as an infant. His stone is embedded in the
ground right next to EBENEZER'S. Ebenezer's stone is broken off where his
name should be. The date when he died during the Civil War is still
visible. It matches the information that was printed in one of the versions
of Amanda Cemetery books. I placed an American flag at Ebenezer's grave on
Memorial Day. He was only 21 years old when he died.

> In 1827 Amanda was laid out by Samuel DICKEY and Robert CODDINGTON along
the Miami Canal (present day Verity Parkway) The town was named for
Samuel's mother Amanda. Adam DICKEY with the help of his son Samuel
contructed a gristmill on the Miami River near Amanda. The flour mill was
probably the big employer until the paper mills Crystal and Excello came to
the area. Samuel DICKEY retired in the 1870's and transferred to his son
Adam. In the 1880's the flour mill was sold to Archibald Jewell and with
John Shafor the mill was converted to making stawboard. This info is from
the book about the history of Amanda. The Dickey house is still standing
and used now as a warehouse for the paper mill.
