HELP!! Can you help me find...

[Mickey Merrie]

...the family of Donald G. Stohlman? Family could still be in the Horwood Ohio area and part of the Salem Evangelical Church where he was confirmed in 1923.

You see, a bible was found by a friend of mine many years ago in an old barn's side shed in the Dallas Pa area which belonged to him. What i would like to do is return it to the family if they want it! My friend found it in pieces and put it back together and now it is time to get it back to the folks who might appreciate a piece of their ancestor's history.

Thanks for any help you might be able to give in this mission!

I now think it is Norwood Ohio not Horwood Ohio.

@Mickey Merrie id get hold of your local news station or one in that area where you think he’s from. They may do a piece on it that would hit on a broader audience.

It is Norwood. I've got his records at Ancestry.
I may have his PA address from 1990. I'll did deeper tonight.

I may have to, but just knew my Ohio friends would give me a head start!

Awesome job @Mike

 

[Mike]

It's a start. It seems as though he lived in Connecticut for a time and I did find a Donna Dee who was a popular elephant trainer in Connecticut. She was 21 in the 70s. I found a newspaper article but it didn't give any other information. Only one child was found in my searches.

Nice work, mike

 

[Bigcountry40]

When did colleges stop making year books? Imagine Ohio States currently, a lot of students

 

[Mike]

I believe that I found the daughter with a phone number shown below.

Great work, but the land line is no longer in service...
I found another number but couldn't leave a message as they haven't set up their voicemail so I just texted the number.

I'm still waiting for a reply...
