Excuse my last post subject line...I was obviously speaking about my grandfather S. B. Whittenberger

Re: my grandmother

meaganreese1 — 2012-03-27 07:02:32Z

You're grandmother was my great-grandmother apparently. S. Bruce Wittenberger was my grandfather!!! I am Mary Whittenberger (Reese)'s daughter Meagan. How wonderful I found this post

How can I contact someone about burial records at the Deckard Cemetery Association? Looking for burial record for Melvina Hall Axsom, b 1822, d 1883, and buried in Deckard with her father, first husband Isaac Fleetwood, some siblings and other family members.
Thank you.

I read your post and the resulting thread. I am African American and my mother's family are Deckards, from Palestine, TX (~ 100 miles from Waco). Around WWII, my mother and a few of her sisters moved to California. Any connections?

jamvrich — 2011-01-27 02:22:45Z

Thurman Deckard, 93

DEC. 17, 1917 — JAN. 21, 2011

BROWN COUNTY — Thurman Deckard, 93, was born Dec. 17, 1917, in Brown County, Ind. He was married to Jane Foreman of Salt Creek Township, Monroe County, Ind. Jane passed away in 1992.

He is survived by one son, Phillip K. Deckard (Karen) of Fortville, Ind.; two grandchildren, Denise Deckard Campbell and Russell Thurman Keith Deckard; and three great-grandchildren, Crystal, Leslie and Jeremiah.

He was preceded in death by his wife; parents, Paris Morton Deckard and Flaure Hall Deckard; seven sisters; and three brothers.

Thurman grew up in western Brown County, where he attended Deckard School and Browning School. He was a farmer and dairy operator, a sawmill owner and operator and a school bus driver. Thurman employed several people throughout his lifetime.

He enjoyed training mules, working in timber, farming, gardening and hunting. He was a gifted person with regard to buying and selling of timber. He was also gifted at buying and selling sawmills and setting up sawmill operations. He enjoyed going to the auction barn and was an active bidder. His picture appeared in a book, “Southern Indiana,” by Hartley and Jean Alley in 1965.

At one time, he was active in politics and served as a Brown County road commissioner. In 1961, because of the construction of Lake Monroe, he and Jane moved to a farm on Delap Road near Ellettsville, where he continued his sawmill operating as well as farming.

Thurman enjoyed the Ellettsville Fall Festival parade and participated on numerous occasions, by driving his mule and cart in the parade. He loved being around children. He always had a smile when children were around him and was always available and present when a local or family crisis occurred.

A service for Thurman will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Chandler Funeral Home. Friends may pay their respects from 4-8 p.m. on Monday. Entombment will be at Valhalla Memory Gardens.

A special thanks to Jeff and Janise Porter and George Stanger.

Re: It is believed that Jacob, Peter, and Michael came to America together.

RonEDeckard — 2011-01-02 20:00:08Z

I have been to Metz several times to check the records and never found any indication of my Deckard ancestors under any like-sounding name. Reviewing the history of the times leads me to believe that the probability of the three brothers arriving on the same ship at the same time is not a good bet. Their point of departure and port of arrival have never been determined by any verified records. It even may be that the three immigrants claimed to be brothers were not brothers but rather close relatives.

Re: It is believed that Jacob, Peter, and Michael came to America together.

mrosehoosier — 2011-01-02 13:24:56Z

Ron, et al -
This is a relatively old post, but wondered what the latest thought on this was, re: the brothers emmigrating together. Weren't they thought to have come through Rotterdam?

Just wondering what the latest was on the Deckard immigration and where, near Metz, they may have originated.

I am planning a trip to the area. My father's family, Roos, originated in Rumbach, Germany, which is about 1.5 hours from Metz.

Happy New Year to all!
