| 3953 | BIOGRAPHY: Scheuer Entries: 329 Updated: Sat May 18 08:28:25 2002 Contact: Robert Scheuer spelcheka@yahoo.com At the time of his son Conrad's marriage, he was 57, lived inGodramstein, and was employed as a baker. Both he and his wife attendedthe wedding and gave their consent. Everyone at the ceremony had totestify that "Johann" was part of his name because it had been left offof Conrad's birth certificate, and because of the confusion they all hadto swear that Jacob and no other man was the father of Conrad. There is some confusion about whether he has a brother with theexact same name who was born on December 21, 1794, or if this isconfusion about his birthday. He may have died in 1874 or 1879 according to other sources.However, the death certificate says 1876 and that he was 83 years and 3months old at his death and had been in the USA for 15 years, living inBrooklyn that whole time. He died at 310 Devoe Street, 18 Ward, andthere were 3 families in the house. Conrad is the registered owner ofLot 2897 Map 4 of The Lutheran Cemetery, 67-29 Metropolitan Avenue,Middle Village NY 11379 (as of Sep 26, 1980). The deed was dated May23rd, 1873. Jacob is there, and the information follows: age 83 years 3months, died at 30 Devoe Street, Williamsburg - buried June 17, 1874. | Völker, Johannes Jakob (I124191)

| 3954 | BIOGRAPHY: Scheuer Entries: 329 Updated: Sat May 18 08:28:25 2002 Contact: Robert Scheuer spelcheka@yahoo.com The information regarding the lifespans of Conrad, Barbara, andJacob, as well as the names of Minnie and Barbara, comes from a Lutheranchurch cemetery in New York, most likely Rockville Centre. There are 16people buried in the plot. On September 19, 1827, at 8 am, Jacob appeared before JohannesFinck, the mayor and registrar of the county and mayorality ofGodramstein, county and district Landau/Palatinate, Kingdom of Bavariawith the infant Conrad. The 36-year-old Godramstein baker declared hewas born at 4 am that day of his wife Christine, and that they would namehim Conrad. This process was witnessed by Heinrich Ness (?), a28-year-old teacher, and Johannes Buerger, a 66-year-old carpenter, bothlocal residents. The family came to New York in 1857 from Godramstein, outside ofLandau in der Pfalz, in Germany. The family came to Godramstein around1764 and was originally from Edenkoben, where the Voelker name iscommon. Kienzlers still live in Godramstein, but the Voelker name hasdied out there. The family's Reformed Church in Godramstein has archivedrecords back to 1637, but the records are incomplete as the area was thesite of numerous wars. The earliest direct ancestor, located by Dr.Frederick Cassidy of Durham, NC, was Hans Velten Voelker (spelled with anumlaut) who married Anna Catharina Groh on May 22, 1677, in the ReformedChurch in Edenkoben. The Kienzler family was originally from Schonachand Schoenwald (again, umlaut) near Triburg in the Black Forest. Dr.Cassidy was in Godramstein in the mid 1980s when he located thisinformation. The old graves and gravestones have all been removedbecause German cemeteries are public and conserving space is veryimportant. The family appears in a ship record (E D Peters) from Havre to NewYork, arriving May 28, 1857. Conrad, 29, and his wife Barbe, 28, bothBavarian and of unknown occupation, came with their children: Philippine7 F, Valentine 6 F (evidence that it's really a boy), Magareth 3 F, andConrad .06 M. It's been said that the Voelkers lived in a house with 3 otherfamilies. I'm guessing 2 of those are the Wilds and the Wagners. Conrad is the registered owner of Lot 2897 Map 4 of The LutheranCemetery, 67-29 Metropolitan Avenue, Middle Village NY 11379 (as of Sep26, 1980). The deed was dated May 23rd, 1873.

(unknown relation) Jacob Voelker: age 83 years 3 months, died at 30 Devoe Street,Williamsburg - buried June 17, 1874.

| 3987 | BIOGRAPHY: Smith:Warner 9 (Owner: alschi38 http://debmurray.tripod.com/indiana/indbioref-13.htm MERL LONGFELLOW GOCHENOUR. A leading member of the Kosciusko County bar since 1912, Merl Longfellow Gochenour, of Warsaw, senior member of the firm of Gochenour & Graham, has been identified with much important litigation which has come before the courts, and has demonstrated the possession of superior talent and a natural liking for the calling for which he is so well equipped. While he is a busy lawyer, constantly engaged in his professional duties, he has found time to participate largely and prominently in public civic affairs, his connection with which has shown him to be a man of vision and enlightened views. Mr. Gochenour was born on a farm near Palestine, Kosciusko County, Indiana, in July, 1888, and is a son of John David and Junia Estelle (Longfellow) Gochenour. His paternal grandfather was William Gochenour, who was born in Shenandoah County, Virginia, and in young manhood removed to Ohio, where he met and married Salome Winters, a native of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. From Ohio William Gochenour made his way at an early date to Kosciusko County, Indiana, where he passed the rest of his life in agricultural operations and was one of the well-known and highly esteemed men of his community. John David Gochenour was born on his father's farm in Kosciusko County, April 22, 1858, in the same house in which his son, Merl L., was later to be born, and received a public school education. He was reared amid agricultural surroundings and in young manhood adopted farming as a vocation and followed it with success throughout his life. In 1885 he was united in marriage with Miss Junia Estelle Longfellow, who was born in Delaware County, Ohio, a daughter of Amos Longfellow, a captain of infantry during the war between the states, who died soon after the close of the war from the injuries and hardships which he had undergone during his military experience. Mrs. Gochenour's mother was a Davis, of the Virginia family of that name. To Mr. and Mrs. Gochenour there were born three children: Merl Longfellow, of this review; Verna, who is deceased; and Opal Helen, the wife of Baltzer A. Neuer, of Huntington, Indiana. The early education of Merl Longfellow Gochenour was acquired in the country schools of Harrison Township, Kosciusko County, which he attended for eight years, following which he spent three years in the Burket High School and one year in the high school at Warsaw, and was graduated from the Warsaw High School in 1906. He then entered Indiana University, from which he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts as a member of the class of 1910, and in the following year was given the degree of Master of Arts by Harvard University. For one year thereafter he was head of the history and government departments of the Oklahoma State Normal School, at Edmond, Oklahoma. In 1912 he returned to Warsaw and, after being admitted to the bar and to practice before the Supreme Court, entered into a law partnership with the late Andrew G. Wood. This partnership continued until Mr. Woods' death, following which he practiced alone for five years and then formed the present firm of Gochenour & Graham, with Ezra W. Graham. Their practice is large and important, and Mr. Gochenour is prominently known as an energetic, reliable lawyer, who is thoroughly grounded in the principles of all departments of his calling. During the World war Mr. Gochenour was very active. He was chairman of the War Loan organization in Kosciusko County, Indiana. He has made the conservation of our natural resources a hobby for years, was a pioneer in the work of the Izaak Walton League of America and for three years edited the Arms and Ammunition department of Outdoor America, the official magazine of the Izaak Walton League. He was chairman of the constitution committee, in the first national convention of that organization, of the resolutions committee at the second convention, and at the third national convention was chairman of the legislative committee. For the next three years Mr. Gochenour was a national director and served as chairman of the state legislative committee of Indiana, where, in collaboration with Mr. Graham, his law partner, he drew the conservation bills, fathered by the League, most of which are now on the statute books. Politically a Democrat, he was president of the Jackson Club at Indiana University, during his college days, but has never mixed politics with his law practice. His religious faith is that of the Presbyterian Church, and fraternally he belongs to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks . Mr. Gochenour has hunted big game in most of the Canadian provinces, principally in British Columbia and Alberta, and has written extensively for leading American periodicals dealing with out-door subjects, such as Field and Stream, etc. He holds a fellowship in the American Museum of Natural History, is a participating member of the American Geographical Society, and a member of the American Forestry Association. At present and for the past five years Mr. Gochenour has been operating three farms, one of them the old Gochenour homestead, founded by his grandfather in 1832. On these holdings he has been doing some practical conservation and in sixty acres of native woodlands has been planting several hundred trees each year from the Indiana State Nursery. In addition to his conservation example he is conducting a successful venture in the polling of the milking type of Shorthorn cattle, and has one of the best herds in Northern Indiana.

THE 21st LEAVES ENGLAND FOR FRANCE Having been in England for a little over two months, the 11th Armored Division was given an assignment on the battle front. First to leave were the half tracks with their drivers and car commander. Leaving Camp Upton Lovell on the 13th of December, they started for the channel. That night they stayed at Camp Hurely, Ramsey, England leaving the next morning and arriving in Southhampton. The tracks were loaded on a Liberty ship ready to sail. The ship MT-311, had an American crew who were very friendly and almost seemed to enjoy the company of a bunch of GI's. The 15th of December was spent on the English Channel with no one getting very sick. The channel was very calm according to the sailors who had made twelve previous crossings on that ship. The majority of the company left Upton Lovell on 14th Dec. and stayed in pyramidal tents at a camp near Southampton that night. Boarding an English ship on the 15th Dec. they set sail for Cherbourg, where they arrived the next day. The same day they left by truck for a bivouac area in the vicinity of Barneville where they were when the vehicles arrived. Sunday morning, the green field where we had slept, was just a sea of mud. By noon it was so sticky and deep that we were al1 reminded of movies we'd seen of World War I and wondered how we'd be able to stand conditions like that for very long. Monday morning, 18th, Dec., we moved south, headed for St. Nazaire, France, where an infantry division had a bunch of Germans trapped with their backs to the sea. That day we traveled about 120 miles going through Barneville, Averanches, Constance and Rennes. At night we bivouacked on an air strip at Jacques, just south of Rennes. Tuesday was spent on the air strip getting ready for battle. Cleaning guns, checking rations and equipment etc. Wednesday, the 20th, there were some pretty strong rumors that our orders had been changed. We didn't know just how to take it. The men were really doing a lot of guesswork trying to figure where we would go. The next day we left the air field about 0700 hours headed for Liege where the Germans had staged their largest and last counter offensive that threatened to be a serious set-back to Allied arms. Friday, the 22nd, we drove all day passing through the French towns of Nogent, Chartres and we stayed in another field near Rambouillet. Saturday, two days before Christmas, we went through Paris, Meaux, La Ferte, Chateau Thierry, and Rheims. There was nothing much to look forward to but another uncomfortable cold night in some farmer's field. About dusk we drove through Rheims and wondered if we were ever going to stop for the night. It was getting very dark and beginning to snow. At nine o'clock that evening we approached what looked like another city---our column and the city were completely blocked out. We stopped and were informed that we were to spend the night in the barracks of Camp Soisson. The company went almost wild with joy. Having slept out for the past week in the middle of winter the thought of four walls, a roof and maybe a little heat was almost too much for tired men to imagine. The next day, Christmas Eve, was spent in Camp and that night we had a drink from the officer's liquor rations which they shared with us. Many attended church services. Next morning we were ready to move out. Christmas on the road was the main trend of conversation. We received some mai1 which made everybody feel a little better---or maybe a little more home-sick. However, we did eat Christmas turkey that day which the cooks had prepared in a moving truck. The kitchen crew is too often overlooked. They really worked that day so that we all could have a good Christmas dinner. The move on Christmas Day took us to Singly, France where we dug fox holes and pitched tents. Tuesday, the 26th, we remained at Singly and sent out recon parties. Wednesday we still stayed in Singly, awaiting movement orders and sent out another recon party to Sedan. Our mission at this time was to defend the line of the Meuse River, and the reconnaissance was to select suitable defensive positions. Thursday was another bitter day of waiting, and discussion concerned to which Army we had been assigned. At 2300 hours, Friday 28th Dec., orders came to be ready to move early the next morning. PRESENT FOR DUTY The saga of Co. 'B' of the 21st Armored Infantry Battalion from the evening of Dec. 29th, 1944 when it was preparing for its initial baptism of fire until the conclusion of its fighting in Belgium the last of January. It was on the afternoon of Dec. 29 that Baker Company pulled off the main highway after an 80 mile forced march from Singly, and prepared to bivouac for the night. The bivouac area was on a hill, an ideal situation for defense. The weather was freezing cold and the ground was frozen and covered with slight layer of snow. Here we received our first introduction to the idea of death, which we were to meet so frequently in the days to follow. A German fighter plane had crashed in the center of our bivouac area the day before. The bodies of two German flyers were strewn lifelessly on the field. Many of us inspected these grotesque frozen bodies and entertained the idea that we too might soon meet a similar fate. On the following morning Dec. 30th. Co. B as a member of Task Force Barraster made its first combat attack; present for duty; 235 EM and six officers. The attack got off to a bad start when part of the company was directed down the wrong road. This mistake was rectified was by Lt. Stringfellow, who got us reorganized and on the right road. Our first objective was the town of Jodenville, Belgium which Baker Co. entered forcing the enemy to withdraw. Our position during the morning was subject to severe enemy artillery and mortar fire. The first casualties of the Company were suffered when a second platoon half track was hit by an artillery shell and over turned; this track was commanded by S Sgt Ingle. A few minutes later a first platoon half track was hit by a mortar shell and three men were seriously wounded; this half track was commanded by S Sgt O'Brien. After securing the town of Jodenville the company mounted up and attacked across country toward a patch of woods held by the enemy. The woods were strongly defended by anti-tank guns, and the task force was forced to withdraw with the loss of seven medium tanks. Our company suffered no casualties. We pulled back to the town of Jodenville and set up a defense for the night. At noon the following day, supported by a company of tanks we were again on the attack. Our objective was the high ground south of Chenogne, Belgium. We succeeded in entering the town of Chenogne during the afternoon, but were forced to withdraw that night. This was New Years Eve, 1945, a night that Co. B will not soon forget. There wasn't any celebration that night, only suffering and hardship. We did not have any overcoats, we were cold, we were tired, and too cold to sleep. The ground was frozen on the surface and resisted our entrenching shovels. We were dug in on the left of the road leading into town; the houses on our left were blazing and cast weird shadows on the snow. The following day, New Years Day, we renewed the assault on the town. The Germans had brought in reinforcements during the night, and they resisted stubbornly. The fighting was bloody and our casualties were high. Chenogne was a strong point in Von Runstedt's salient into Belgium and the defenders were determined to hold. In spite of the bitter resistance there we succeeded in clearing the town by noon and began to reorganize. In the late afternoon we advanced by foot and vehicle in the direction of Mande. Ground opposition was light, but we were subject to mortar and artillery fire. As darkness had set in we formed our defenses, and dug in for the night. It was a repetition of the night before; freezing feet and hands, and again we sweated out the dawn. We remained in position during the following day, Jan. 2, but late in the afternoon, we prepared to attack the village of Mande, Belgium. After the usual preparatory artillery we advanced with the tanks into the town. The enemy had already withdrawn, but they had the town zeroed in with their artillery and mortars. There was not much sleep for us that night. Just when things had quieted down a little, the cry of "Counter Attack", was heard. We hurriedly grabbed our guns and fell out in a blinding snow storm and, in spite of the confusion, we attempted to form a line of defense. Due to the quantity and accuracy of our artillery and tank fire the Germans failed to retake the town. On the next day, Jan. 3rd, we were relieved at Mande by elements of the 17th Airborne Division. It was a weary, suffering group of men that straggled from the town that morning. Many of the men could not walk or could do so only with difficulty, because of frozen feet. After a mounted march of several hours, we reached the town of Au Chene, Belgium, late in the evening. Here we found billets in barns and houses. We were not particular; any place; just to roll up in some blankets and sleep, and be warm. We remained at Au Chene for nine days for a maintenance break and what a break it was for us. We had an opportunity to get some good hot food and some much needed rest. We were issued new clothes and equipment. It was interesting to note that present for duty at this time were 150 EM and four officers. Due to this loss of men the second platoon was dissolved, and the men assigned to the first and third platoons.

Remains arrived in Pittsburgh, December 13th, 1948 via Pennsylvania Railroad. Burial December 18, 1948 Allegheny Cemetery, Pittsburgh PA, Section 44, Lot 24 1/2, Grave 3. Was unable to locate a death certificate. Article in Pittsburgh newspapers: There was a package of appreciation on the way to France today for "one little French girl- Josy" who hasn't forgotten the American boys resting on European battlefields. The package, including nylons and clothing, was for caring for the grave of a Pittsburgh soldier who fell in Belgium, Jan. 2, 1945. In a recent letter to Mrs. Earl Simmers of 4411 Milgate St., Josy included pictures of the flowers she placed beside the cross marking the resting place of the Bloomfield mother's son, PFC. Oliver A. Simmers was 23 years old. "I go very often to pay visits to your son's grave . . . receive, Madam Simmers, all my sympathies," wrote Josy Simon of Muerthe et Moselle. "I know that many American families have heard nothing from their soldiers . . . Your son is buried in a very nice cemetery (Grand-Failly, U. S. Military grounds)." The letter was signed - "from your little French girl - Josy." "It does your heart good to know that there's someone so far away in the world who understands what a mother feels about her son," Simmers said. She added, "I'll never forget my little French girl." Mr. and Mrs. Simmers plan to bring their son home to Allegheny Cemetery as soon as transportation can be arranged. Meanwhile, Josy is doing her part to help ease a mother's mind. Josy later married Roger Pernot and had two sons, Oliver and Daniel, and a daughter, Mary Ruth. She maintained close ties with Mary Simmers and her family. | Simmers, Oliver August (I66651)
