Scher, Genealogy of the Eckert, Karst, Scher, and Related Families, 1970. Library of Congress CS71.S5515 1970. p1N, 2N. Story of the raspberries: Anna Karst Morris lived at 442 W. Butler, Fort Wayne, Indiana. In her yard, she had raspberry bushes. These raspberries have journeyed from her yard in the 1960's to the home of her great-grandson, Marc Wheat, in Arlington, Virginia. According to her granddaughter Barb Hartman, from Anna Morris' house in Fort Wayne, the raspberries were transplanted to Anna Morris' daughter Louise Schmidt's trailer court about 1965-68. From the trailer court of Aunt Louise, raspberries were transplanted to the home of Joseph S. Morris, Louise's brother and Marc Wheat's grandfather, on Hanna Street in Fort Wayne (now the home of Joseph's daughter Kathy Morris). From Joseph Morris' house, raspberries were transplanted to the home of his daughter Barb Hartman when the Hartman's lived on Woodrow Street in Fort Wayne. The raspberries were then transplanted to the lake cottage of Barb's father-in-law, Richard Hartman (now owned by Barb's son Bill Hartman). From the lake cottage, the raspberries were transplanted to Barb Hartman's farm near Auburn, DeKalb Co., Indiana in about 1991-93. They were then transplanted again in July, 2000 to 4966 N. 34th Rd., Arlington, Virginia, when Barb Hartman brought them from Indiana with her sisters Sue Wheat and Kathy Morris. see Marc Wheat gemanna1714@yahoo.com | Karst, Anna Elizabeth (I3981)

| 3692 | BIOGRAPHY: Marzolph, Sr. (13) had three known sons. The middle son, Theobald Ostertag (14) was bom in 1494 in Fischbach, Pfalz, Germany. He died sometime after 1538. Theobald Ostertag, Jr. (17) was bom about 1529 in Fischbach and married NN about 1555 in the nearby village of Niederschletten, Pfalz, Germany. Theobald (17) died around 1587 in Niederschlettenbach, Pfalz, Germany. Theobald's (17) son Marsolph "Marx" Ostertag (18) was bom about 1560 in Niederschlettenbach. He moved to Rumbach, Pfalz, Germany where he married Barbara Jost in 1584. "Marx", like most ofthe Ostertags, seemed to have considerable stature and influence in the communities where they lived. He was a lay magistrate, similar to todays county councilman, in Amt Wegelnburg. "Marx" was a cartwright and innkeeper. The Inn was likely inherited from his wife's parents (from Family Register, Vol. 1 1430- 1630, Rumbach and Schonau). "The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) saw the demise of all Ostertag males bearing the family sumame in Fischbach and Rumbach, so that anyone later with that last name in the area, would descend from the Cleebourg scion or another branch not described in this narrative." (From The Ostertags of Alsace and Palatinate by Dennis A Kastens. Marzolph's (18) daughter Margaret was bom 1605 in Rumbach, Pfalz, Germany. Both her parents died before she was married to Christoph Neuhart on 18 July 1627. The Neuhart line is covered in Chapter 2. | Ostertag, Theobald (I16795)

| 3694 | BIOGRAPHY: Max Gregory Flathers Max Gregory was the third child born to George Lewis and Lillian Yockey Flathers. He was born at home on December 17, 1914, near the Sisston Indian Reservation, between Sisston, South Dakota and two miles south of Clear Lake, South Dakota. Max's occupation was always farming as was the previous Flathers generations before him. He was a grain farmer: corn, oats and hay and he raised cattle, sheep and hogs. At one time he fed out several hundred head of cattle at the Homestead. Before he married Vera Klingensmith, he rented a small farm between Moville and Kingsley, Iowa, just one-half mile east of the Emery and Flossie Klingensmith farm, Vera's parents. Previous to Max's move to the rented farm, he would walk eight miles and back again to the Flathers Homestead during bad weather when the temperature was 25 degrees below zero to "court" vera. When Max and Vera married, they lived in the house on the rented farm where Max had been living for the past year. It was not the best living conditions. In the winter the only heat in the house was from the kitchen cookstove and a heater in the livingroom. At night the house would get so cold the linoleum flooring in the kitchen would roll up. There was no electricity or running water in the home and no telephone. Their first child, Nancy, was born on a very hot day two years later, on July 26, 1939, in this house. After 3+ years, Max and his family moved on March 1, 1940, to a farm rented from Paul Sadler. The farm was located west of Correctionville, Iowa and south of Pierson. The house was fairly new and quite modern compared to most of the farm homes in the area. Water was piped into the house for an indoor bathroom, and a modern kitchen. Electricity was supplied by Delco batteries which only worked part of the time so they had to resort to using lamps when necessary. They also had a telephone and a coal/wood burning furnace. They lived there for one and one-half years. It was in this home that their second child, Benjamin (IV) Larry was born. After the death of his father on August 13, 1940, Max, Vera and their two children, moved on January 1, 1943, to the Flathers Homestead in Woodbury County, rural Correctionville, Iowa, at Rock Branch, the family farm which was originally homesteaded by Max's grandfather, Benjamin Lewis Flathers. This move must have been very difficult for Vera as she had to move from a nice modern home into a house with no plumbing. The water for drinking, cooking, and baths had to be carried in pails from a well south of the old garage. The bathroom was the old wooden "outhouse" west of the house that was freezing cold in the winter and unbearably hot in the summer. And "oh, did it stink!" The house did have electricity and a telephone. The ground floor was heated with the cookstove in the kitchen and a heating stove in the dining room. There never has been heat in the upper level. Vera mentioned at times about the large number of rats on the farm and the many mice in the house. At night the mice were so plentiful they would occasionally run across the bed when the family was sleeping. After Benjamin Lewis homesteaded the farm, he planted a forest of trees on the north side of the farm from the west end next to John Sadler's farm and to the road which runs in front of the house. When the trees had grown to maturity they were so dense it was almost impossible to drive a horse and wagon through them. When Ben first homesteaded the farm, the indians would pull the small sapplings from the sand bars in Sioux City and bring them to the farm, a storm went through and destroyed many of the trees. A man from Oto, Iowa was hired to dismantle his sawmill, move it to the Flathers Homestead, set it up and cut the fallen trees into lumber. Many in the community benefited from the processed lumber as it was sold to anyone who wished to buy it. With the lumber from these trees, a large barn was built on the farm for milking cows and storing hay. It was a high, red barn with a weather vane on the very top, center of the wood shingled roof. When Max and Vera moved to the farm, many of the trees were still standing. During the first few years living on the Homestead, Max cut down all of the remaining trees, the largest being 5 1/2 feet in diameter. It was sawed by hand as were all of them. After the trees were down and the stumps burned, the field was used as a pasture for many years to graze cattle and then several years later the field was planted to corn, oats and hay, rotating the crops yearly so as not to deplete the soil of its nutrients. In 1967, the Flathers Homestead was declared a Centennial Farm. A special celebration was observed at the Homestead to commorate the 100 years the farm had been in the Flathers family. The day started with a church service with family and friends dressed as they did many years ago. About 400 friends of Max and Vera gathered on the Homestead lawn for a potluck picnic. Max and his son, Benjamin (IV) Larry, built a log cabin on the Homestead for Max's four granddaughters to play and pretend they were settlers of many years ago. It is filled with many family heirlooms and antiques of the homesteading period. Max and Vera's two oldest granddaughter's, Christie Howland Bolin and Joni Rae Howland Morrow, spent many happy hours in the log cabin during the summer months as they were growing up.

| 3695 | BIOGRAPHY: May 1905 Charles and Martha took a wedding trip cruising the Ohio River between Parkersburg and Cincinnatti on the Queen City. In later years, a picture of the Queen City hung in the Chancellor Hotel, in Parkersburg, along the stairway going down to the cafeteria in the basement. When we would eat there Martha pointed out the picture to her grandchildren and told them that she had ridden on the boat. The Queen City Queen City was built in 1897 and operated on the Ohio for many years; ended her career in 1933. Way has much more information (Way's Packet Directory).
