AMANN, BADER, JAMISON, JONES, RILEY, SNIDER posted by Dale Amann on Thursday, July 15, 1999

I am trying to locate the death certificate for Eminda (RILEY) BADER, wife of Paul BADER. Eminda was baptized "Mariam", so she could have gone by the name "Mary/Marian" as well. She was born 7 Sep 1896, the daughter of Susan Ida Sunday JONES RILEY and Michael Francis RILEY, the sister of Elizabeth Ann RILEY AMANN and the half-sister of Ethel Clorance JONES JAMISON. According to obits. I have for Elizabeth (died 1971) and Ethel (died 1951), Eminda and Paul were residents of Mansfield at those times. Supposedly after Eminda died (my mother-in-law thought it was 1971, but the Ohio Dept. of Health didn't locate anything), Paul married a Mrs. Dorothy SNIDER. He had two children, a boy and a girl, but I don't know if they were children of Paul and Eminda, or Dorothy's children. I did locate two "Paul BADER" deaths from Social Security, in Galion, for 1996 and 1967, and two "Dorothy BADER" deaths in Galion for 1998 and 1996, but don't know if there is a connection. Is there someone who might be able to either check the cemetery in Galion for Eminda (probably the Catholic Cemetery first), or the county offices for a death certificate? Thank you. Ms. Dale Amann

CAHILL, CUMMINS, GEBHART posted by Carol Schmalenberger on Friday, July 23, 1999

Abraham CAHILL was an attorney who graduated from Wittenberg College in Springfield, OH class of 1855, then studied law with Osborn of Dayton, OH. He was born __ __ 1830 at Bucyrus, OH, to Richard Wallace and Eliza (CUMMINS) CAHILL. While in Dayton he lived with a Wittenberg classmate and married Gebhart's relative, L[ucinda] Catherine GEBHART (Montgomery County, OH, license issued July 25, 1861). Tragically, Abraham (1830-1868), an attorney, and his wife L(ucinda) Catherine GEBHART (1835-1864) of Dayton died young, both of consumption. Abraham CAHILL and his wife are buried at Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, OH,on Augustus Gebhart's lot with many other Gebharts. Buried with Abraham and Catherine is a Richard W. CAHILL who died September 20, 1884 at age 22y 2mo. He was born in Dayton, OH, according to the Montgomery Co Death Records. Is this their son? Did they have other children? Abraham's death record says he was married. Did he marry a second time? The GEBHART genealogy by Julia Hagwood of Dayton, OH, is silent on both issues.
