Thursday October 20th 1977 – 50°
Howard and I started at 10:30 (still foggy) for Columbiana County. Hard for him to go through Canton as his wife Elizabeth died there in 1932. Went to Washingtonville where John Zimmerman took up section 34 in Green Township in 1807- 640 acres $800. Found the graves of his son Peter and wife Sarah. John and Anna also buried in Trinity Lutheran Cemetery. Then to Lisbon but only had an hour at Courthouse. No birth records before 1868. They don’t know what happened to them! So can’t find John Conrad Hemmerly’s children. Howard didn’t want to go back through Canton so it took us 4 and 1/2 hours through Dover, Millersburg, Loudonville, etc. 300-mile trip. Want to go again for overnight. Found Haldeman’s listed!
Color gorgeous all over Eastern Ohio- Sunny after fog lifted until noon.
