• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: http://www.fuldaohio.com/genealogy/pafg63.htm#1554 Conflicting dates of birth:5 Feb 1838 (Delores Snider)5 Mar 1837 (Tom Singer)Census suggests that 1838 is the correct date, as he is listed as being 42 years old on when the census was taken on June 1, 1880. In 1860, 22 year old John Singer lived and worked with his parents and younger siblings on the family farm in Jefferson Twp., Noble Co., Ohio. In 1870, John Singer (33) owned a farm worth $3000 in Jefferson Twp., Noble County, Ohio. He lived there with his wife Mary A. (33) and children Marilda (7), Albert (4), Barnabas (2), and Ales (9 months). Only Matilda attended school. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to Sebastian Heil and Albert Mallett. At the time of the 1880 census, John Singer (42) still lived in Jefferson Twp. with his wife Mary A. (42) and children Tilda (16), Albert (14), Barnabas (13), Aleck (10), Annie (7) and Katie (5). All of the children attended school except Katie. Neighboring farms in the census were those of Albert Mallett and John Williams. In October 1880, John Singer, George Berkhal and John Morrison were the managers of a political rally for Democratic presidential candidate Winfield Scott Hancock. The rally was attended by between 400 and 500 people. Bands played, dinner was served, and political speeches were made. Hancock lost the popular vote by a small margin to James Garfield the following month. (Source: Caldwell Citizens' Press, 14 Oct 1880) From the Fulda column of The Caldwell Citizens' Press, 29 May 1884: John Hespot [Herbst] and John Singer lost their spring colts last week. John Singer left his family in Jefferson Twp. for parts unknown around 1890. He had lost heavily while gambling and was unable to pay his debts. It has also been suggested that he argued with his father. Telling his family he was going to the store for some tobacco, he never returned. His wife was left behind with their six children, age 16 through 27. John's family received news of his death "in a western state" some years later; he had "worked as a cow-doctor" (perhaps Kansas or Texas) (Source: Tom Singer) A man who may be Fulda's John Singer has been found in the 1900 census living as a farm hand in northern California. Widower John Singer lived with four other farm laborers on the farm of German immigrant Emil Kreng in Tulare Twp., San Joaquin County, California (not to be confused with the city of Tulare). According to the census, John Singer was born in Germany in Feb. 1839.
