 This project was started too late to take
advantage of the memories of the people involved.
In fact, too few of us are available from the next
generation to represent them properly. We will
start with Eberhard and Theresa (Schierloh)
Hornung.
Eberhard was born in Germany, arrived in the Port
of New York on 24th November 1848 when he was
thirteen years old with his mother, a sister, her
future husband and three brothers. They went on to
live in Cincinnati, Ohio. When he was 22, he found
his way to Glandorf, Ohio where he met and later
married Theresa Schierloh on the 15th of
September 1857. They moved to Cincinnati to live.
They had three children, Mary Ann, Catharine and
John.
John was not yet two years old when Eberhard died
28th of March 1863. Eberhard, Eberhard's mother
and several other Hornung family members died
within a two week period. I was unable to
determine the actual cause of death. Both Typhoid
Fever and Cholera were abundant for a 2 or 3 three
year period in Cincinnati at that time.
Sometime later, I am not sure of the date,
Theresa and her three children moved back to
Putnam county. In 1866 she married Franz
Brockman. They were blessed with five children.
Eberhard & Theresa's Children are listed first, then Franz
