NEWSPAPER: From an article in the NORTH MANCHESTER JOURNAL, Thursday April 5, 1900, Vol. XXV-No. 49 page 2. Quite a number of old people have met with sudden death lately, among them Levi FLOOR, for many years a well known farmer in the neighborhood of Disko, who died March 27. Mr. FLOOR arose apparently in his usual state of health and had gone to the barn to do some feeding. He felt an attack coming on and started for the house. Just as he reached the door step he fell. The family hastened to his assistance and carried him in but he died in a few minutes. Heart trouble is said to have been the cause of his death. Mr. FLOOR was a widower and made his home with his son since the death of his wife four years ago. He was the father of nine children, three of whom are dead. His funeral took place last Thursday at Pleasant Church conducted by Rev. Tappman in the presence of a large congregation. His age was 70 years, 5 months and 16 days.

Stickney) To: (mbowen@@umich.edu) Reply To: x[Clyde.P.Stickney@@Dartmouth.EDU] Date: 11/26/98 02:16 EST Hi Mike! I do not know if you received my email to Rummel Rooters earlier this week. In case you did not, I also descend from Daniel Flohr, Sr. through his son Daniel Flohr, Jr. I have been researching the Flohrs for a year now and have learned a lot but have much more to learn. I had a few responses to questions you asked. Hope this is the correct Email address for you. I copied it off Mary May's Email of the 24th. I do hope those of us researching the Flohrs can form a discussion group as Mary has suggested. It would prove most helpful.

Let me list the first two generations as I have them and note sourced information when I have it:

Valentine Flohr: born Germany - died 1804 York County, PA married Maria Elizabeth Zimmerman, daughter of George Zimmerman + Catharine Seidel [marriage sourced in South Central PA Genealogical Society, Special Publication #41, Page 28.] children: Leonard Flohr Johann Georg Flohr b. 13 Dec 1748 Anna Barbara Flohr b. 26 Sept. 1750 Susan Elizabeth Flohr b. 27 Apr 1752 John George Flohr b. Apr 1754 Maria Elizabeth Flohr b. 13 May 1763 Valentine Flohr Anna Flohr will probated: 1 Sept 1804 [I have a copy] Maria Elizabeth buried Strayer's Church Cemetery, PA on 16 Mar 1775

Leonard Flohr: died 1821 - Franklin Township (Adams County), PA married Anna Margaret Schaeffer, daughter of Frederick and Maria Margaretta Schaeffer children: Daniel Flohr b. 2 Apr 1790 - d. 17 Mar 1850 Leonard FLohr b. 18 Sept 1773 - d. 26 June 1840 Frederick Flohr Valentine FLohr b. 22 Apr 1777 - d. 21 Jly 1835 Sarah Flohr Joseph Flohr b. 15 Mar 1785 - d. 8 Sept 1811 Samuel Flohr b. 16 Apr 1786 David Flohr d. 28 Apr 1823 Jacob Flohr will probated: 10 Jan 1821 [I have a copy] Anna Margaret buried Flohr's Lutheran Cemetery, McKnightstown, PA

As you can see, some of our information is a bit different. I rely heavily on a woman named Lois Lace who is an incredible Flohr researcher. She spent over 6 weeks this year alone, in PA researching Flohrs. The facts she has gathered in all her research would blow you away. I read what she sends me and can hardly take it all in. She is light years ahead of me in her research. She has been researching Maria Mary Rummel like crazy trying to determine her parents. If anyone can find that family, she can!

I wanted to comment on your question about the parents of Levi Flohr because you are not the only one confused about it. One tool you may want to purchase if you do not already have it is: Springfield Township Cemetery and Death Records, Mahoning County, Ohio. It is published by the Mahoning County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. Flohrs, Mays, and Rummels are all in it. On page 71 it lists Mary Flohr, wife of Daniel d 18 Sept 1871. On page 113 it lists Maria Flore d 18 Sept 1871.

Daniel Flohr died without a will. The probate record is 60+ pages long. I had some of it copied. It lists Mary Floor as widow of D. Floor, deceased so we know she was his wife when he died. Levi Floor is listed as a minor and the youngest child of Daniel Floor. Although Mary is not listed as the mother of Levi, it is a logical conclusion to assume she is.

Look at the 1850 Census one more time. I have a xerox of it and am reading from it. The census was taken in September so Daniel Sr. was already dead (died in March). Mary (age 63) and Levi (age 20) are living with Jesse Floor (family 647). Evidently after Daniel Sr.'s death Jesse took in his mother and younger brother. That also makes me assume Mary is the mother of Levi. Daniel Floor, Jr. is listed as family 648 living with his wife Sophia and children.

Another Flohr researcher by the name of June Floor Hileman (Denver, IN) also descends from Levi Flohr, son of Daniel Sr. She states that Levi's death certificate lists Daniel Sr. and I. Peters as his parents. June knows that the tombstone reads Mary so she is confused too. Before you ask how to get in touch with June, I only have this information second hand through my cousin who is also researching the Flohrs.

I do not know how to explain the death certificate but the evidence seems to be fairly strong that Mary was the wife of Daniel Sr. and mother of Levi. I don't know if this helps you any.

Let me know if I can help in any other way. Let's do get a Flohr discussion group going.
