Selected Families and Individuals

Notes


Wendelen Lori

The 1942 death certificate of son John Lori states that his father, Valentine Lori, was born in Fulda Germany.

In 1870, 36 year old Wendell Lori lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his wife Katharina (32) and children Mary (7), John (4), and Rochus (1). Mary attended school. Wendell's farm was worth $2500 and his personal property was valued at $1460. Wendell, who was a US citizen, is listed as being born in Hesse Cassel. This conflicts with the 1850 census, which states that he was born in Virginia. The children were born in Ohio. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to Henry Miller and Barbara (Scheetz) Huffman.

At the time of the 1880 census, Wendel Lori (46) and his wife Catherine (40) lived in Enoch Twp. with four of their children: Mary (16 John (14 Elizabeth (9), and Barbara (2). None of the children attended school. This census lists Wendell's birthplace as Bavaria. Catherine and the children were born in Ohio. Neighboring farms in the census were those of Joseph Nau and Henry Hupp.

Wendelen died in 1900 prior to June 1, since he does not appear in the census with the family.
