Today, America remembers the horrific attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7, 1941. Meanwhile, back in Perry County, Leo Lintner’s family had probably made plans to celebrate his 60th birthday during that year. News of the attack on Pearl Harbor likely put a big damper on their plans, as well as Leo’s … More Leo and Katie – The Lintner’s
Arthur Carl Lintner was born on August 17th in 1876. If he was alive today, he would be blowing out 146 candles on his birthday cake. Although he is most often called Arthur, a few census records give his name as Otto Lintner. Arthur was the 6th of a dozen children born to John and … More Arthur Finds a Wirth-y Wife
Paulus Klobe and his wife, Savilla (Hauson) Klobe, arrived in America in 1840 aboard the ship, Clementine, that landed in Baltimore. Here we see the Klobe family members on the passenger list for that ship. It looks like there were 5 Klobe children aboard that ship, but there likely were 6. When Savilla got on … More Adam Klobe – Born at Sea

His father, often called Fritz Mehner, is today’s birthday boy, so I will begin with him. Friedrich August Mehner was born on April 19, 1843 in the Saxony region of … More Fritz and Elise Mehner
Fritz and Mary Bergmann were married on this day 135 years ago. Their marriage would probably be frowned upon these days. That is because these two shared the same set of grandparents, which would also make them first cousins. I will tell this couple’s story today. Friedrich John “Fritz” Bergmann was born on September 24, … More Fritz and Mary – The Bergmann Grandchildren
Eva Katherine Stuebinger would have been celebrating a very special birthday if she was still alive today. She was born 150 years ago…October 22, 1870. I found a little evidence that she was called “Rena” during her lifetime, so I will use that name in this post. She was the daughter of Johann Heinrich and … More The Lintner Link
