Any Taflingers in Marysville, Indiana doing Genealogy? Or anywhere in Indiana?

I’m looking for some information on Taflingers that married into the Amick family in the late 1800’s

I’ve done a little research using the census that Grannytoad found in a previous census and am convinced that the parents of Delores Taflinger are Jacob O Taflinger and Mary Kimberlin. Here is what I know about Jacob O. Taflinger. He was the son of Allen W. Taflinger and Nancy Harmon and was born in Indiana on June 24, 1878. He was first married to Mary Kimberlin on June 11, 1905 in Clark County, Indiana. She was the daughter of Henry H Kimberlin and Louise Elizabeth Righthouse I believe that Delores was born August 26, 1909. Jacob O Taflinger was a rural mail carrier by profession. At the time of the 1910 census she is living with Jacob and a daugher called “Annie” . I have to wonder if Ann may be Delores’s middle name. Mary was known as Mammie which was a really common nickname for Mary around the turn of the century. From what I have been able to narrow down Mary died between the time of the 1910 census and February 18, 1914, when Jacob O. Taflinger remarried to Ethel James in Marion County, Indiana. We then find Jacob and Ethel in the 1920 census. Ethel was 23 in 1920, making it not likely that Dolarus (Delores) was her child being that she would have had to have been 11 at Delores’s birth. Therefore I believe that the child identified as Annie and Delores are one in the same. Jacob still is a mail carrier in the 1920 census.

There is a tree online with your Jacob O. Tafflinger and Mary Kimberlin… The tree doesn’t say anything about Delores or about Jacob’s second wife, Ethel but he does mention having Jacob’s obituary. I would send this gentleman an E-mail and ask if he would mind sharing that obituary with you. That will either corroborate everything I just wrote or invalidate it all.

Here is the link to his page

His E-mail addy is jerrycollyer@myfamily.com

I also found an online cemetery listing that says that Allen W Taflinger are buiried in the Beswick cemetery aka Walnut Hill Cemetery in Oregon Tw[, Clark County, Indiana. Jacob is in Old Bethel Cemetery.

I did find the records for all of the dates I sent. If you want copies, just E-mail me via my profile and give me your E-mail address. I can't send attachments through Yahoo! Answers. I hope this helps. Blessings to you.
