JOHN SCHLEMMER stone at Falls Cemetery

1.   Wimberly, W. William II. Hanna's Town. (Indianapolis, Indiana: Indiana Historical Society Press)
   2010.

   On Page 311 of the book, it states that there were seven heads of households named Schlemmer in the 1894 Wabash County Directory.

2. ↑ ^{2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4} History of Wabash County, Indiana: a narrative account of its historical progress, its people, and its principal interests. (Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co., 1914).

   On Page 556 of the book, it says John was mustered out on June 8, 1865, and when he returned home, he resumed working in the woolen mills at Wabash.
   
   In 1870, owing to the ill state of health resulting from his severe military experiences, he was compelled to give up his work in the mills.

3. ↑ TOMBSTONE.
4. ↑ Jim Geibel of Baltimore, Maryland.
5. ↑ Markley was a monument manufacturer. Failing heath caused John to withdraw from this work also, after a few years, forcing a practical retirement.
6. ↑ The 1880 Federal Census shows that John and his wife were born in "BYRON", which of course is incorrect! The enumerator probably meant "Bayern", which actually means the Bavarian Palatinate (Rhein-Pfalz).
