Landry Lionberger came from Texas to see the family's old homestead land. Her fervent wish was to walk in a cornfield. She had never been able to do that. She was able to fulfill her dream in a cornfield on the old Ulrich Lionberger place, which has been in a branch of the Lionberg family since 1854. Landry's ancestors left the area in 1899, but Charles Davis's branch stayed; the land has been in Charles's family since 1854.
Kalin Wallpe of Cordsville, Indiana holds a book she found at the museum with information about her Gottula ancestors. It was donated by a distant cousin, Russ Hunzeker, descended from Esther and Albert Gottula, whose 1922 wedding picture is on the book's cover. Kalin is descended from Albert's sister Mary Gottula Steiner, and the book has pictures of Albert and Mary's parents and grandparents, common ancestors of Russ and Kalin. Photo 6879, January 2019.
An amazing book, on display on special occasions, the Stepan bible. Our next oldest bible goes back "only" to 1739.
