Notes for John Neuenschwander:

Note from Mariana Zuelsdorf, 11/1998, included information written by Gerald Schori, spouse of Ella Neuenschwander Schori---"John Neuenschwander, son of Ulrich R., lived at the Easley farm across the river from New Martinsville, at Duffy, Monroe County, Ohio, on the very top of the hill. He met and married Sevilla Harman, who lived in New Martinsville. Later, packing her and her square piano, he moved to Elgin, Iowa, where he was a carriage and wagon maker. Later, Joseph Harman came to Iowa to visit his sister, Sevilla, and met Mary Bauder who was living with her sister and husband, Ben Schoir and his wife elizabeth. After Joseph returned to new martinsville, he realized he was smitten by Mary and wrote his brother-in-law, John, asking John to plight his troth on his behalf with Ben Schori regarding the possibility of his marriage to Mary Bauder. Ben discusssed it with his wife elizatbeth, who discussed it with sister Mary and it was agreed."

Mariana adds---She does not think Sevilla (Civilia) and her brother, Joseph, were in New Martinsville; they were probably living in Duffy at the time, in Monroe County, Ohio. The cemetery were Mary and Joseph are buried was probably on the Easley farm. The name of the hill where John lived is called Frye Hill. Joseph was also a wagon maker, so John Neuenschwander and his wife Civiali's brother Joseph, may have worked together as carriage/wagon makers in Ohio.
