Generation No. 1

1. JOHAN GEORG1 DOMER was born December 05, 1710 in Ergersheim and Dottenheim, Germany, and died 1746 in At

sea enroute from Germany to America. He married (1) ANNA MARGARETHA1 Abt. 1730. She was born Bet. 1700 -

1710 in Germany, and died April 06, 1733 in Ergershein Franconia-Anspach. He married (2) CATHERINE WEISS

December 19, 1734 in Germany, daughter of JOHANN WEISS and DORTHEA HANNEMANN. She was born December 19,

1712 in Dottenheim, Mittelfranken, Bavaria, Germany, and died Aft. 1747 in Frederick Co, MD?.

Notes for JOHAN GEORG DOMER: Johan Georg was a master shoemaker. His first wife, Anna Margaretha, died in an

epidemic (grassierende gefahrliche Seuche) in Germany. Since Johan Georg died enroute to America, it's likely that his

2nd wife, Catherine, remarried soon after she arrived in America in 1746 with several small children. I need to find a

record of her second marriage, perhaps in Frederick Co, MD. A marriage record has not been found, but her two

youngest children, Anna Maria and Michael, are mentioned in Philip Angleberger's will (Shillinger, 2005), written 26

July 1750, Frederick Co, MD.

was born Abt. 1755 in Hagerstown, MD or Germany?, and died Aft. 1830 in Ohio.

Notes for MICHAEL DOMER: Michael Domer arrived in Maryland in 1765 (Wyand & Wyand, Colonial Maryland

Naturalizations, 1975). He was naturalized in Frederick Co, MD Sept. 1765. In 1776, Michael Sr, his wife Anna,

Michael Jr, and Frederick were in Elizabeth Hundred, Frederick Co, MD near Hagerstown.

1796 Elk Lick Tax Assessment (From Laurel Messenger Feb. 1984 page 105): Elk Lick township was formed in 1785,

the fifth township carved out of Brothersvalley Twp., Bedford County. It was one of the six townships which formed

Somerset County when it was erected in 1795.

It is evident from the written records that all the brothers lived close to each other. George and Michael had farms

abutting each other, and they appear on the 1808-09 tax list for Goshen Twp, Tuscarawas Co, OH, along with Frederick,

Jacob, and Mary (source: First Centennial Atlas of Tuscarawas Co, Ohio, p. 49. Edwin S. Rhodes, Tuscarawas

Centennial Association, New Philadelphia, OH, First Tax Duplicate, p. 49). Michael lived in Sugar Creek Twp,

Tuscarawas Co, Ohio by 1809. Michael was on the tax list in Tuscarawas Co, Ohio in 1816. There is a land purchase

of 80 acres by Michael on February 01, 1831 in the Land office in Zanesville. In addition to farming, Michael was said

to be a Dunkard Preacher (source needed).

By the 1790 census, they were listed in Washington Co, MD. In the 1800 census for Somerset Co, Michael Domer and

his wife, each aged 45 or over, were living with two sons 10-16 (Frederick and George), one son 16-26 (Jacob), one

daughter under 10, one daughter 10-16, and two daughters 16-26. Nearby lived oldest son Michael, Jr and his wife, each

age 26-45, and two daughters under 10 years.

1820 census, Sugar Creek township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio: Michael and his sons Michael, Jacob and George.

In about 1825, when the county line between Tuscarawas and Holmes Co. changed, George's farm remained in Auburn

Twp, Tuscarawas Co. and Michael's farm became part of Walnut Creek Twp, Holmes Co. One mile north is Sugar

Creek Twp, where Frederick and Jacob lived on adjoining farms.

1830 census, Dover, Tuscarawas Co, OH: Michael Domer, Sr. (80-90) with 3 females (1 = 34-40; 1 = 45-50; and 1 =

78-80)

Notes for ANN MARY "ANNA": Hagerstown was founded in 1762 by Jonathan Hager, a German settler. Some have

asserted that Mary Ann was a Hager, but that has been disproved (see Descendants of Jonathan Hager). She was called

Anna Mary in Hagerstown church records (source needed).

Notes for RALEIGH DOMER: "Mr. Raleigh Domer, whose illness from paralysis was announced last week, died on

Sunday at his home in Keedysville, aged 79 years. He was a boatman for many years, but at the close of the war he

went to Keedysville, where he conducted a hotel. Some twenty-five years ago, when no license to sell liquor could

be obtained in Shepherdstown, he created a sensation here by operating what was called "the floating battery", a sort

of houseboat fitted up as a bar-room, which he anchored in the Potomac river, close to the wharf. It was a knotty

question to decide whether he was in Maryland or West Virginia, and while the question was agitated in the courts

the thirsty had ample time opportunity to slake their thirst. The floating battery was finally towed away, and the

experiment has never been repeated. Mr. Domer had been blind for many years. His wife died about seven years ago

and he leaves no children. He owns a brick house in Shepherdstown and a farm a couple of miles east of town"

(Shepherdstown Register March 1, 1900).

Raleigh Domer bought from John & Eliza Benner

1 April, 1864 (recorded 8 April, Liber IN 17, folio 542) for $2,000

[101] [West] half of Lot 49, 51½ x 186 feet. The Benners warrant specially the property, “Except” the $400

mortgage in favour of Joseph Poffenberger. Raleigh agrees to pay it, but the $400 will be deducted from the $2,000.

[Michael Domer was a Tavern Keeper in 1794 (Liber H, folio 830-2)]

Elie Wade bought from Raleigh & Susan Domer

1 April, 1864 (recorded 8 April, Liber IN 17, folio 541-2 [recorded out of order with the one above] for $2330

[101] [West] half of Lot 49, 51½ x 186 feet. The Domers warrant specially a $400 mortgage in favor of Joseph

Poffenberger, Executor of Jacob Cauffman, dec’d. Elie agrees to pay it, but the $400 will be deducted from the

$2,330.

[Why did Raleigh buy the property and sell it the same day to Elie?]

1850 census, Washington Co, MD: Rolla (26) and Susan (28) Domer lived next door to his mother on one side and

brother Jacob on the other side. Rolla was a laborer with property valued at $1500.

9. JOHN FREDERICK3 DOMER (MICHAEL

2, JOHAN GEORG

1)12

was born April 20, 1776 in Hagerstown, Washington,

Maryland13,14

, and died Bet. 1842 - 1845 in Shanesville, Tuscarawas, Ohio15

. He married ELIZABETH BOLLINGER Abt.

1803 in Pennsylvania. She was born Abt. 1784 in PA, and died Bet. 1851 - 1860 in prob Elkhart Co, IN.

Notes for JOHN FREDERICK DOMER: Frederick was baptized on May 26, 1776 in Evangelical Lutheran Church at

Hagerstown, MD (source: Wright, F. Edw., Washington County, Maryland Church Records of 18th Century, 1768-

1800, Willow Bend Books, 2001). The surname was also spelled Dohmer. Judge Frederick Domer is thought to have

been one of the first settlers in Tuscarawas County, OH in about 1807. Frederick moved to Tuscarawas Co, Ohio and

cleared land, then went to Somerset Co, Pennsylvania, probably to get married. Tuscarawas Co was formed in 1808

from Muskingum, and the county was recorded by County Commissioners on 7 Mar 1811. His father and brothers

came with him to Ohio after 1807 (source: History of Tuscarawas County, 1884, p. 655). He lived just south of

Shanesville (SE qtr of Section 3) where he was a prominent and respected citizen until his death. He was a Dunkard

(German Baptist), and church services were held in his home. Frederick and brothers George, Jacob, and Michael are

on the 1809 Tuscarawas Co. first duplicate tax list. In April, 1811 the first electors of the Sugar Creek Twp met at

Frederick Domer's house to elect the township officers. Frederick's will is listed for 1842 in Tuscarawas Co, where the

county seat was New Philadelphia. Estate settlement recorded Tuscarawas Co, OH on 15 Oct 1845, pp. 67-69.

1830 census, Sugar Creek, Tuscarawas, Ohio: Fredk Domer (age 50-59) with a boy (age 5-9), 2 boys (age 10-14), 1

man (age 20-29), 2 girls (age 5-9), 1 girl (age 15-19), and presumed wife (age 40-49). Total = 9 persons.

1840 census, Sugar Creek, Tuscarawas, Ohio: Frederick Domer (age 60-69) with 2 men (age 20-29), 1 girl (age 10-14),

1 girl (15-19), and presumed wife (age 50-59). Total = 6 persons.

Notes for ELIZABETH BOLLINGER: When my mother obtained a copy of Annie Domer Keim's death certificate, the

clerk wrote in the margin that Annie's mother's surname was Bollinger (original certificate in the files of ML Cook).

Elizabeth could be the daughter of Henry Bollinger of Nazareth (PA?), who was in Gnadenhutter, Tuscarawas Co, OH

in 1799. He attended a church service in the home of Mr. Heckwelders, called "The First Home" on July 13, 1799

(source: Combination Atlas Map of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, 1973). More research on the Bollinger line needs to be

done. Perhaps Henry Bollinger's will lists his children.

1850 census, Union, Elkhart Co, IN: Elizabeth Domer (66) lived with her daughter Elizabeth and Fred Sliffe. In 1860

Elizabeth was no longer living with her daughter and is presumed dead (Proof needed). Elizabeth is probably buried in

Elkhart Co, IN near Goshen. Did she leave a will?

W. S. HOSTLER,an active and successful coal and coke dealer of Altoona, and the senior member of the firm of W.

S. Hostler & Co., is a son of John and Barbara(Domer) Hostler, and was born in Sinking valley, Tyrone township,

Blair county, Pennsylvania, February 11, 1852. The Hostler family is of German descent, and John Hostler, the

paternal grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was an early settler of Centre county, from which he removed to

Sinking valley, where he died. He was a blacksmith by trade, and purchased a good farm in Sinking valley, which is

now in the possession of his son. Another of his sons, John Hostler (father), was born in Centre county in August,

1814, and in early life came to Blair county, of which he has been a resident ever since. His business in life has been

chiefly that of farming and stock-raising, and he now owns a valuable farm at Bellwood. Although well advanced

toward his four score years, he is still active, and personally supervises all of his farming operations. He is a

consistent member of the Evangelical Lutheran church, and in politics supports the Republican party. He has held

several of his township's offices, and made a good record as public official who was conscientious and firm in the

discharge of his duties. Mr. Hostler married Barbara Domer, who was born in 1825, and they reared a family of

children. Mrs. Hostler is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran church, and her father, Jacob Domer was an early

settler in that section of Blair county, in which he died.

W. S. Hostler spent his boyhood days and grew to manhood on his father's farm, where he was actively employed

in agricultural work and carefully trained to economical business habits. He received his education in common

schools and Logan academy. From the school room he went into the busy world of life with a home training of

incalculable value. For seven years he was engaged during the winter months in teaching in the public schools, and

in the summer seasons followed farming with his father. At the end of that time, in 1877, he became head clerk and

book-keeper for the lumber firm of F. Vowinkle & Co., at Loydsville, Cambria county, and remained with them in

that capacity until 1880, when they sold out their business. He then came to Altoona and took charge of the books of

G. A. McCormick, and of the firm of Diehl & Co. These parties were coal dealers and he remained with them seven

years, during which time he gained a thorough knowledge of all the details of the coal business. In 1887 he left their

employ and formed his present partnership with J. H. Dietrich, under the firm name of W. S. Hostler & Co. They are

wholesale and retail dealers in coal and coke and have built up a very fine trade in those two great staples of central

Pennsylvania, which are now in such demand in so many cities and towns.

In 1876 Mr. Hostler was united in marriage with Letitia Huston, daughter of George Huston, of Bellwood. Their

union had been blessed with one child, a daughter, named Edna K.

In politics W. S. Hostler is a republican, but he is no politician and gives his time chiefly to his varied business

interests. He is a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, in which he is now serving as foreman. Mr.

Hostler is successful and well known dealer in the coal and coke business, where his many years of practical

experience render him an excellent judge of the best grades of coal and coke. He takes great care in shipping the

required grade of material demanded by his patrons, and has been very successful in furnishing exactly what was

wanted. Mr. Hostler possesses good executive ability, and ranks high as an honorable, upright business man. He is a

pleasant and approachable gentleman, who is imbued with that true spirit of energy and enterprise that insures a

continuation of his present prosperity.

Notes for JOHN J. DOMER: Sugar Creek Twp. - JOHN J. DOMER, of the firm of Doerschuk, Karl & Domer,

Shanesville, was born in this township and county in 1854, and is a son of John and Maria Domer. Mr. Domer, Sr., died

in 1860; his widow still survives, and is a resident of Shanesville. At the time of his deceased, Mr. Domer left a fine

farm, near the town, which has been divided among the widow and six children. Our subject is the youngest of the

family, and was educated in the schools of the village. Here he also learned the trade of an iron-molder with J. B.

Rowles. On Oct. 11, 1877, he was married to Miss Sarah C. Wholf, a native of Coshocton Co., Ohio. To them have

been born three children - George L., Lloyd Levelle and Raymond. At the age of nineteen, Mr. Domer began teaching

school, and has since pursued that vocation during the winter months. He gives good satisfaction to his patrons as an

efficient teacher. In 1880 he purchased the interest of Mr. Ervin in the machine-shop and foundry, and has since been

connected with the firm. In politics, he supports the Republican party. He and his wife are members of the Lutheran

Church. By his industry and frugality, Mr. Domer has been successful in life, and is regarded as a gentleman of

character and influence of high social standing. Source: History of Tuscarawas County, Ohio - Combination atlas map

From: History of Wabash County, Indiana, by Clarkson W. Weesner, Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago and New York,

1914

One of the most successful business men in Wabash county is John W. Domer, vice-president of the Lawrence National

Bank at North Manchester, while his son is a successful physician in the city of Wabash. John W. Domer was born near

Wawaka, Indiana, October 19, 1851, a son of George and Caroline (Steinbarger) Domer, natives respectively of Ohio

and New York. Mr. Domer during his boyhood attended the common schools, and when about twenty years of age

started out in life for himself, his first experience and training being as clerk in a store. From Indiana he went west to

Missouri, located on farm lands, and remained there until driven out by severe droughts and attacks of grasshoppers,

and that disastrous experience caused him to return to his native state. In the fall of 1874 Mr. Domer moved to North

Manchester, and has thus been identified with Wabash county for forty years. His early work at North Manchester was

teaming in the village and conducting a farm nearby. From 1882 to 1890 the marble establishment in that village was

conducted under his management, but in 1890 his attention was directed to the real estate and insurance business. When

the city decided to install local water works in 1893, Mr. Domer and Dr. Sluder secured the contract to tap all the mains,

and for a time did practically all the plumbing. It was in 1895 that he became interested in the Lawrence National Bank,

acquiring with Mr. J.M. Curtner of Wabash the Lawrence & Mills interests, and soon afterwards Mr. Curtner became

president and Mr. Domer vice-president and general manager of the institution. Since then, 1896, the deposits of the

bank have been increased from forty-eight thousand dollars to nearly four hundred thousand dollars, which fact alone

attests the capability of the new management. Besides his duties as a banker Mr. Domer has accumulated some city

property at North Manchester and in Chicago, and is one of the organizers and a director of the New Union Trust

Company at North Manchester. A Republican in politics, he has taken an interest in public affairs and has served as a

member of the city council and on the school board. Aside from his business he has found time to cultivate the social

side of life and is identified with the Masonic fraternity and the Knights of Pythias. In 1871 John W. Domer married

Miss Dora Harter, daughter of Eli Harter, a pioneer of Wabash county. To their marriage were born two children:

Walter A. and Emma, both living.

Notes for WALTER AMAZIA DOMER, M.D.: WALTER A. DOMER, M. D.

The medical profession of the city of Wabash has one of its ablest representatives in Dr. Walter A. Domer, who has

practiced in that city for the past twelve years. Dr. Domer is a man of broad experience, and being well equipped

professionally has acquired success and high standing in a community in which most of his life has been spent.

Though Wabash county has been his home nearly all his life, Dr. Domer was born in Joplin, Missouri, November 10,

1872. His father, John W. Domer, is now living in North Manchester. The maiden name of his mother was Dora

Harter, whose people were among the earliest pioneers of Wabash county. When Walter A. Domer was about one

year of age his parents returned to Wabash county, and he grew up to manhood at North Manchester. His early

experiences in that locality were chiefly attending public school and clerking in a store. His early pursuits were all

along the lines of commercial life, and as part of his preparation for that work he completed a course at the Eastman's

Business College in Poughkeepsie, New York. In 1897, having decided to leave mercantile affairs and make the

practice of medicine his vocation, he matriculated in the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Chicago. From that

old and substantial institution he was graduated M. D. in 1901. For eighteen months, beginning in his senior year he

was deputy county physician of Chicago, having charge of one of the districts into which the city was then divided,

his duties being to look after pauper and emergency cases. Also during his senior year in college he was honored with

appointment as prosecutor for Dr. William T. Eckley, professor of anatomy in The College of Physicians and

Surgeons and at the same time he assisted Dr. F. R. Sherwood who had charge of the Chair of Surgery at the Chicago

Clinical School. In June, 1901, Dr. Domer returned to his home county, and began practice in the City of Wabash,


39

where he has since become securely established in the vocation which he has chosen for his life's work. Dr. Domer is

a member and at this writing is president of the Wabash County Medical Society, belongs to the Indiana State

Medical Association and the American Medical Association. While at Chicago in college he was president of the

Beta chapter of the Phi Rho Sigma medical fraternity for the school year, 1900-01, and at the meeting of the Grand

Chapter of that organization in Chicago, July 5, 1899, he was elected grand president, serving as such for two years

and being the first grand president of the Grand Chapter. The doctor has other fraternal affiliations with the Masonic

Order and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, his politics is republican, and in religion he worships with the

Presbyterian. On October 30, 1901, Dr. Domer married Miss May Oliver of Chicago. From: History of Wabash

74. JOHN CRIPE5 KEIM (ANNA C. "ANNIE"


3, MICHAEL

2, JOHAN GEORG

1) was born January 07,

1857 in Across the street from the Warner farm near Goshen, Elkhart Co, IN231

, and died June 18, 1927 in Gravois

Mills, Morgan Co, MO, interred Cherry Mound Cemetery, Westphalia, Anderson Co, KS. He married ANNA AMELIA

"ANNIE" TIPTON December 24, 1885 in near Westphalia, KA by Rev. J.K. Spencer232

, daughter of JAMES TIPTON and

MARY HILL. She was born May 22, 1859 in Hyndman, Bedford Co, PA, and died March 20, 1937 in Goshen, Elkhart

Co, IN at the Warner home, age 77, interred Cherry Mound Cemetery, Westphalia, Anderson Co, KS233

.

Notes for JOHN CRIPE KEIM: John's family moved from Holmes Co, OH to Elkhart Co, Indiana in 1846, and John was

born on a farm near Goshen. That farm is across the road from the current Warner farm, owned by his descendants. He

and his twin brother were the 7th and 8th children in a large family. John's parents spoke German in the home, and he

learned English only after he attended school. He had a twin brother named Sam, but as adults they were not close,

since Sam lived in Dannebrog, Nebraska. John attended Valparaiso College, a teachers college, for a year. Afterwards,

he taught for several years in Millersburg, IN (near Goshen). The 1880 census shows that he was age 23, still living

with his parents, and teaching school. If we assume he taught in Millersburg from about 1876 - 1880, we are left with a

period of time from 1881 - 1885 when nothing is known about his life, but it's likely he was teaching and farming. A

note in the handwriting of Mary H. West shows that he moved to Kansas in 1884, but it it not known why he left

Indiana. I wonder if he moved with a relative or friend? His uncle, Jacob S. Keim (brother of Tobias Keim) was in

Westphalia in 1900 as were several other Keim families.

After marriage in 1885, at age 28, he taught and farmed in Kansas. John C. Keim moved to western Kansas (Logan Co)

with his wife Anna Amelia Tipton in about 1888. They lived in a sod house in Western Kansas for a time, and the two

youngest children were born there. John was a member of the United Brethren Church. The family moved back to

eastern Kansas, Westphalia, in 1896 after Anna's father died, and they lived on the Tipton homestead until the early

1900's. Did Mrs. McConnaghy Tipton live with them after James B. Tipton died?

From a newspaper article following his death: Near the end of his life, John and Anna moved to Gravois Mills, MO and

bought a small farm. He also took on duties as an overseer of land adjoining his. John had been selling timber for

crossties to William B. Moore, but there had been disputes between the two. Moore, with a gun in his pocket, came to

the site of the lumber and found the gate locked with a note posting no entrance. Moore went through the gate, in spite

of Keim's warnings. The 70 year old Keim threw some rocks at Moore, who shot him once just above the left eye,

killing him instantly. Moore was released on bail but a handwritten note on the copy of the newspaper clipping stated

that Moore was found "not guilty" (Versailles, MO, "Statesman", 23 June 1927).

John's granddaughter, Mary, remembers her mother traveling by train, with sister Elsa and brother Harry "Bud," to John

Keim's funeral in 1927. He is buried at Cherry Mound Cemetery, north of Westphalia, Anderson Co, KS. John is 5779

in the book DJH and 13884 in DBH & CS.

1900 census, Westphalia, Anderson Co, KS: John C. Keim (43), farmer, Anna A. Keim (40), and their daughters

Madge (12), Opal (8), and Hazel (6). They also had a border named Theodore Woodsworth living in the house. The

family moved to Chanute in Neosho Co, KS after 1900. For a time John lived in Iola, Kansas and sold insurance.

1910 census, [Iola?] Allen Co, Kansas: J.C. Keim (53) real estate, Anna Keim (51), Opal Keim (18), doing housework

in office, Hazel Keim (16), hotel waitress. There were three borders listed with the family including Opal's future

husband, Harry Haymaker (19). They lived one block off the main street in a house that is still standing.

1920 US census, Iola, Allen Co, KS: J.C. Keim (62) and Anna Keim (59) and one male "roomer" (T625_522, p. 1404).

In 1912, at age 55, John was proprietor of the Manhattan Hotel in Iola (source: Allen Co. sections of the Polk's Kansas

State Gazetteer and Business Directory, Vol XII, 1912). According to his obituary, John was a member of the I.O.O.F.

(Odd Fellows) in Iola and of the Modern Woodsmen (a fraternal organization) for many years.

Notes for ANNA AMELIA "ANNIE" TIPTON: Newspaper obituary: Anna, daughter of James B. and Ellen Tipton, was

born in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, May 22, 1860. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. DeMain Warner, in

Goshen Indiana, March 20, 1937. The deceased came to Kansas with her parents when but a small child, and who

settled in the Cherry Mound community. When a young girl she united with the U.B. Church at Cherry Mound and

steadfastly clung to that faith, and was an active member until her death. She was united in marriage to John C. Keim

December 24, 1885, and of this union was born one son, James Ross, who died in infancy; and three daughters who

survive her. They are: Mrs. Madge Dollimore, of Pueblo, Colorado; Mrs. Opal Haymaker, of South Bend, Indiana;

Mrs. Hazel Warner, of Goshen, Indiana; ten grandchildren; one brother, Charles W. Tipton; one sister, Mrs. Edith


45

Stephenson; two sisters in-law, Mrs. Eva Tipton, Homewood, Mrs. Minnie Tipton, besides numerous nieces and

nephews and a host of friends.

Funeral services were held at the home of her daughter in Goshen Monday afternoon, March 22, conducted by the Rev.

S.M. Whetstone, pastor of the First Brethren Church of that city, after which the body was brought to Westphalia and

taken to the home of Mrs. Minnie Tipton with whom she had made her home for several years before going to live with

her daughters. The funeral was held at Cherry Mound, her girlhood home, March 24, the services being in charge of

Rev. N.L. Vezie, of Iola, her former pastor and friend, and whose remarks on the life and character of the departed were

both consoling and impressive. The music was furnished by Mrs. Pettijohn at the piano. Eva Hill and Ruth McGinnis

sand "There is a Home Eternal," "Haven of Rest," and "Gathering Home." Pall bearers were Bruce Hill, Mark Hill,

Jesse Alban, Arthur Agnew, Lee Tipton and Dell Griffin.

Those who attended the funeral from a distance included Mr. and Mrs. Demain Warner and family, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis

Dollimore, Mrs. Harry Haymaker, Glenn Tipton and son, of Detroit; Levi D. Keim and daughter Miss Bernice, of

Kansas City; Mrs. Orville Reinfeldt and Rev. and Mrs. N.L. Vezie, of Iola; Mrs. K.B. Stevenson and Virginia Lou, of

Garnett, and Mrs. Eva Tipton and daughter, Miss Helen, of Homewood.

The writer has known the deceased well and favorably since 1884. He has always known her as a most excellent,

admirable woman, always frugal and just, and one who never spoke an ill of anyone. As a wife and mother there were

no better, and with it was always the truest neighbor and friend. Everyone who knew her was her friend, and that is

saying a great deals for or of anyone. Yes, she will be greatly missed by her family and large circle of friends, and they

all have our deepest sympathy."

Anna Tipton's daughter Opal wrote the following: "Things I remember my mother telling about her early life. She was

born May 22, 1859. She attended country school at Cherry Mound [Kansas] N. of Westphalia. Also a United Brethren

church (she attended & a long time member) that was close by the school with a cemetery, north, across the road where

she, my father, grandparents Mr. & Mrs. James Tipton, uncles, aunts & our only brother who was 6 mos. old when he

died of whooping cough. My mother was about 4-5 years old when her parents older brothers & sisters came by

covered wagon from Penns. when they crossed the river at St. Louis by barge. She & her older brother Will were in

back of wagon where they could see out when they were pointing their fingers at the first black man they had ever seen.

When he spied them he said something to them. They were scared & got back in wagon where he couldn't see them.

When she was a young woman her father sent her to Rich Hill, MO [in 1880] to attend a school for dressmakers. After

she finished the course there she came back to Westphalia and she had a shop where she did dressmaking and the friend

[Amelia] had a millinery store. She & my father were married on Christmas Eve at my grandparents home. Before

marriage she had taken care of a half sister Mary Halferty who died of consumption [1880], which in our time has been

called tuberculosis. When my sister Madge was 6 weeks old, April 1887, she took her on a train to Western Kans.

where my father had gone some time before and took up land (claim it was called), built a sod house. This was in

Logan County" (Handwritten by Opal Keim Haymaker, March 1977).

Family legend is that during the Civil War, when Anna was only about 4 years old, the family moved to northern

Illinois to get away from the fighting. Two years later, in 1865, they moved on to Anderson Co. Kansas to a farm about

3 miles north of Westphalia. Anna had 2 older brothers and an older sister, as well as 3 younger brothers and a younger

sister. Anna's granddaughter Mary told this story: When Hazel was a baby, the family lived in a sod house in western

Kansas. Anna entered the sod house only to find a snake crawling on the ceiling, right above baby Hazel's cradle. Opal

told her granddaughter, Mary Lou, that Anna was an extraordinary dressmaker, and that Anna could look at a dress in

the store, and then go home and replicate the dress without a pattern. The family of Mary L. Haymaker (Opal Keim's

daughter) still has a pink and white quilt made by Anna.

It is interesting to consider the early life of Anna Tipton because she actually went to school and took up an occupation

before marriage after age 26, which was fairly late for those times. I wonder if she thought she would not marry.

Earlier, Anna had nursed her older half-sister, Mary Halverty, who died of consumption (tuberculosis), and Anna began

to show symptoms of the disease. She had her share of other losses as her mother died in March 1885, the year she

married, and her father died the next year. Anna had begun to show signs of consumption, so she took the train to

western Kansas, Logan Co. near Russell Springs when her daughter Madge was 6 weeks old. The move to Kansas was

thought to be advantageous for TB (called consumption at that time). She and her family lived at the Tipton homestead

in Westphalia, KS for several years after her father died, and they were still there when the 1900 census was taken. By


46

1910, they had moved to Iola as her husband made a change from farming to hotel operation. Anna had a good singing

voice, according to Gen Warner - friends would say "strike up a tune Annie."

After her husband died, she stayed for a while with Minnie Tipton, widow of Sam Tipton. She also spent time at all of

her daughters' homes, but seemed to prefer the Warner Farm, just outside Goshen IN, probably because there was

always work to be done there.

Children of JOHN KEIM and ANNA TIPTON are: i. JAMES ROSS

6 KEIM, b. November 14, 1886, Kansas; d. March 16, 1887, KS of whooping cough, age 4m 2d, buried

Notes for MARY MADGE KEIM: During WWII, Madge received Pueblo, Co good neighbor award for being a Red

Cross nurse's aid. The Pueblo Star-Journal reported "She had worked in St. Mary's hospital for six years and now is

one of the institution's most dependable and well-liked nurses." She continued working until her health would no

longer permit it" (source: Hazel Keim Warner). During the time she worked at the Catholic hospital, she converted

to Catholicism, according to her niece Mary.

Notes for LEWIS ERIC DOLLIMORE: He immigrated to the US from England in 1894 (source: 1930 US census). In

1918 he registered for the draft. His occupation was motorman and he lived in Pueblo, Co.

iii. OPAL MAUD KEIM, b. October 06, 1891, Logan Co, KS near Russell Springs; d. April 22, 1985, Fort Worth,

Tarrant Co, TX, interred Highland Cemetery, South Bend238; m. HARRY HARLAN HAYMAKER239, September 22,

1912, Iola, KS in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ240; b. May 19, 1892, Chanute, Neosho Co, KS241; d.

October 05, 1969, South Bend, St. Joseph Co, IN, interred Highland Cemetery, South Bend242.

Notes for OPAL MAUD KEIM: Opal was born near Russell Springs, Logan County, Kansas, and likely lived for a

while in a sod house. After her grandfather Tipton's death in 1896, the family moved back to Westphalia, Anderson

Co, KS and lived until the early 1900s at the Tipton homestead. As a young woman, Opal worked for a time as a

telephone operator in Iola. Her father had gone to college, and she could have done so also, but she chose to work

instead. She played the pump organ for a church in Kansas. During the depression, the family received help from her

sister Hazel, who often brought food from the Warner farm. When her husband lost his job, Opal worked in the

"Frances Shop" a fashionable women's dress shop in South Bend. She became an expert seamstress like her mother,

and specialized in alterations. Her granddaughter, Mary Lou, remembers that Opal had several women customers

who regularly came to her home at 304 East Donald Street, South Bend, Indiana, to have their hemlines lowered or

raised depending on the current fashion. Opal would sit on the floor with her pin cushion on her wrist, pinning up the

new hemlines. Opal made Mary Lou's wedding dress by taking a pattern and altering it to match a store-made gown.

In addition to her sewing work, Opal was a devoted and expert gardener. During the summers in South Bend, she

kept a beautiful garden of flowers along with vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, onions, and beans. She especially

loved "moss rose" and rose bushes, and she always had fresh cut roses in her home. Every summer Opal canned

tomatoes and peaches, and the family enjoyed fresh food all through the winter. For most of her adult life, Opal

suffered from a digestive problem that forced her to recline after a meal. To prevent health problems, she took

regular walks throughout her life, never smoked or drank alcohol, and maintained a healthy weight. She avoided

caffeine, and drank Postum every morning because she wanted a hot drink. For most of her adult life, she was a

member of St. Paul's United Methodist, where her funeral service was held. Opal regularly read "Prevention

Magazine" and "Guideposts." The fact that she lived 93 healthy years is a testament to her lifestyle. Opal is #13886

in the book "Descendants of Barbara Hochstetler." In about 1983, Opal moved from her apartment in South Bend, IN

to her daughter's home in Fort Worth, Texas.

Notes for HARRY HARLAN HAYMAKER: Harry Harlan Haymaker (grandfather of Mary Lou Cook) was born on a

farm, and attended school at Leanna, Pittsburgh, and Iola Kansas. He finally quit school after the 8th grade because,

although he liked to read, he didn't like something the teacher wanted him to do. His parents were divorced in 1907

when he was about 15 years old, and his mother and sister Winnie moved to California. Harry's post card collection


47

shows that he was in Los Angeles during the summer of 1907, when his sister sent him at least 8 post cards while she

traveled to Yellowstone National Park by train. Harry lived with the Snodgrass family in Chanute for about a year

and, according to his daughter, he remained close to the Reeds throughout his life. There is evidence in the post cards

that Harry's mother took him back to Chanute from California, and stayed with him at the Snodgrass farm for several

months.

His friend in Kansas who took pictures of Harry was Nathan Leffler, a photographer.

Sometime in mid-August, 1908, Harry moved to Iola, where he worked for a while as a machinist at a cement plant.

For the first month, he received his mail via general delivery. Then the post cards show that he lived at 819 Jeferson

Street for about 4 months. He moved to 211 South Chestnut Street in Iola in February, 1909 but was only there for a

few months. By April 1910, he was in Iola, Kansas boarding with the John C. Keim family, and that is undoubtedly

how Harry and Opal met (1910 census, Iola, Allen Co, Kansas). Harry's daughter said that Anna A. Tipton, Opals'

mother, didn't want him to marry Opal because he smoked.

After he and Opal were married in Iola in 1912, they went to California on their honeymoon, probably to see his

mother. They rode the ferry to Catalina from Oakland. Mother says he was sick with pneumonia and pleurisy around

that time and was very ill. Anna Haymaker Hess loaned them her house in Chanute, KS. During WWI, he was

drafted but discharged on August 09, 1915 as unfit for duty due to nervous problems ("neurosthena"), even though he

was a precision machinist. His daughter remembers that he had a toolbox with velvet-lined drawers that contained

levels & squares. He and Opal moved to South bend, Indiana 17 April 1917 and lived in Coquillard Flats (apartments

close to downtown). It is likely that they chose South Bend because her Uncle Adam Keim lived there. Harry

worked for Singer, where he finished cabinets, and later he worked for Studebaker until he retired in 1956.

According to his daughter, Mary, in every house where they lived, Harry cut a hole in the ceiling to the attic so

firemen wouldn't have to cut into the house. On one occasion, Mary remembers that Harry's mother, Carrie Reed,

came to visit after her 2nd husband died in 1929. When Carrie died in Kansas, Harry was very upset because he had

no money to make the trip to Kansas. Relatives sent enough money for Harry to take a bus to Kansas, and he was able

to attend the funeral. Harry and Opal celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary in 1962 with all four of their

children in attendance. A reception was held for them at St. Paul's Memorial Methodist Church on Sunday, Sep. 23,

1962. Harry was a heavy smoker of Camel cigarettes, and he developed gangrene in his lower legs as a result of the

smoking and diabetes. In about 1960, both of his legs were amputated below the knees, and he was wheelchair bound

for the remainder of his life. His cause of death was subarachnoid hemorrhage, generalized atherosclerosis, and

diabetes mellitus. Harry and Opal are buried October 08, 1969 in Highland Cemetery, South Bend, IN.

iv. HAZEL FRANCES KEIM, b. January 14, 1894, Logan Co, Kansas243; d. December 21, 1975, Goshen, IN, buried in

Oak Ridge Cemetery, Goshen, Elkhart Co, IN244; m. DEMAIN WARNER, October 19, 1920, St. Paul's United

Methodist Church in Parsonage by Dr. James L. Gardiner245; b. September 28, 1895, Goshen, IN246; d. April 1983,

Topeka, LaGrange Co, Indiana at the home of his daughter Gen.

Notes for HAZEL FRANCES KEIM: Hazel's niece, Mary Haymaker, remembers that Hazel moved to Indiana because

there was a failed love affair in Kansas. The family also tells the story that Hazel drove the family car for a time, but

after an accident when the car rolled into a ditch, she never drove again. As an older woman, Hazel was a large

woman who seemed to spend most of her time in the kitchen. She had very long gray hair that she rolled into a neat

bun during the day. Hazel was an avid genealogist all of her life, and she compiled a History of the Hill Family based

on letters, documents, and obituaries that she saved.

For most of his adult life, DeMain Warner was a Farmer and Fruit Grower. They lived on a farm just outside Goshen,

IN and had milk cows, which were cared for by their son Phil Warner after DeMain retired. During the Depression in

the 1930s, Hazel and DeMain sometimes took truckloads of food into South Bend, IN for her sister Opal's family.

From what my mother has told me, Hazel and DeMain were very generous with their apples and other fruit and

vegetables. Mary Lou visited the Warner farm in Goshen every summer while she was growing up, and she enjoyed

watching the cows and picking strawberries.

1920 census (3 Jan), N. Walnut St., Portage Twp, South Bend, IN: Hazel Keim (26) lived with her sister Opal and

brother-in-law Harry Haymaker. Harry was a Singer sewing machine inspector and Hazel was a book keeper

Notes for JONAS M. KEIM: Jonas enlisted in Company B, 115th Ohio Volunteer Infantry on 15 Aug 1862 and served for

3 years. He retired in 1892 from the bank and hardware business left by his father.

JONAS M KEIM, son of Moses and Lydia Keim, was born in Holmes county, Ohio, on the 21st of April, 1843. It was

his privilege to be reared on a farm, the source from which have sprung the majority of the nation's greatest men, and he

early became acquainted with the manifold duties which such a mode of life implies. At the proper age he entered the

public schools and attended the same until about eighteen years old, meanwhile assisting his father of summer seasons

with the work of the farm. On the 15th day of August, 1862, he enlisted in Company B, One Hundred and Fifteenth

Ohio Volunteer Infantry, with which he served three years, during which time he took part in many noted campaigns

and bloody battles, including the various engagements in which General Thomas' command participated. The day on

which the regiment was mustered out he was sent to a hospital where he remained about one month and at the expiration

of that time he received his discharge and returned home. On leaving the army Mr. Keim resumed the pursuit of

agriculture on the home farm and in the fall of 1865 was united in marriage to Miss Catherine Trump, daughter of

George Trump, of Nimishillen township, Stark county. He continued tilling the soil in his native county until 1869, at

which time he changed his residence to the county of Stark, locating at Louisville, where he engaged in the grain

business, in connection with which he also handled provisions and dealt quite extensively in wool. Subsequently he

disposed of this business and purchased an interest in the hardware house founded by his father and during the next

twenty-five years was a member of the firm of Keim & Sons, which became one of the largest and most successful

establishments of the kind in the county. His connection for so long a time with this line of trade resulted in the

accumulation of a fortune which enabled him, in 1897, to lay aside business cares, since which time he has been living a

life of honorable retirement in the thriving little town of Louisville. Mr. Keim possesses marked business ability and

superior judgment. He looked after the management of the house with commendable fidelity, built up a large and

lucrative trade and by fair and honorable dealing won the confidence of all with whom he had relations of any kind

whatever. Aside from his connection with the commercial interests of Louisville, Mr. Keim has long been a factor of

considerable consequence in the general affairs of the town, every enterprise calculated to advance the community

materially, socially, or morally, receiving his support and hearty co-operation. As a citizen he is deservedly popular,

charity and benevolence being among his chief characteristics, and to the poor and needy he is ever ready to extend a

helping hand. His political support is given to the Republican party, but the wiles and chicanery of modern partisanship

have always received his strongest disapproval. Religiously he is an influential member of the Progressive Branch of the

German Baptist church, belonging with his wife to the Louisville congregation, of which he is one of the pillars and


55

chief supporters. He has high ideals of Christian character and endeavors to realize the same in his daily life and

conduct. Mr. Keim's first marriage was blessed with the birth of one son, Charles B. Keim, who is now engaged in the

boot and shoe business in Louisville. Mrs. Keim dying in 1873, the subject afterwards wedded Miss Mary Keim, of

Nimishillen township, daughter of Adam Keim, a union terminated by the death of the wife in 1887. Mr. Keim's present

companion, to whom he was united in the bonds of wedlock in the year 1896, was Mrs. Ella Werner, formerly Miss

Slote.
