John "Henry" attended Dartmouth and practiced medicine in Michigan (do not have town) and married Laura Schoch of the Lithopolis area. They had five children, Laura who married a ? Cosberg, Florence who married a ? Perrin, Mary who married Horace Manning, John Reed who changed his name to John Pflueger Reed and married Dorothy Clemens Griswold, Faith who married Roger Weller, and Helen who I have no further information available.

Maria Margaret "Mary" married George Marvin and moved to Findley. (Findley was a destination for Pflueger, Wagenhals and Schneiders, would be interested why so many moved there.) They had two children, Claire Elizabeth who married Adolph "Ad" Martin Clement Stellhorn (son of Frederick Stellhorn, a noted professor at Capital) Both, I believe are buried at Reber Hill, Ashville. Clair & Ad had four children, Mary Christine who married E.J. Hammer, Frederick Marvin whose wife's name I do not have, Ann Elizabeth who married Bruce Gebhart and Barbara Claire who married Thomas Wuichet.
The seven children of "Adam" William Henry Pflueger and Anna Margaret Oehlschlaeger were John Henry "Luther" who married Anna Caroline Pauschert, became a Lutheran minister and eventually a professor at Luther Seminary, Regina, Sashatchwan, Canada and is buried at Oakridge, Tennesee. Charles William married Emma Elizabeth Volkmar of Westerville, Ohio. Charles was the first full time minister of the church my wife and I attend, Saint Paul Lutheran, Westerville, Ohio. Charles also founded Grace Lutheran, Westerville, where I was baptized and my wife and I were married. In 1916 Charles was called to lead the Lutheran outreach which was to become Lutheran Social Services in Columbus, Ohio. He served until his death in 1946. He and Emma are buried at the Saint Paul Cemetery on Walnut Street, Westerville, Ohio.
The third son Edwin Bernard married Helen Ada Schuh the daughter of another noted Capital professor. He became a Civil Engineer and helped to build the Panama Canal. They had three children, Theodore Loy, Mary Margaret and Ruth Elisabeth. Theodore Loy "Ted" participated in the Battan Death March and was a much decorated World War II hero. Ted was a genealogist and his work forms the basis for much of my work. Upon the death of his first wife, Edwin married Helen Irene Brazada.
The fourth son of Adam, George Alfred married Elsie Ann Berg of Richmond, Indiana. He was a Lutheran minister in the Sandusky County, Ohio area. The couple had four daughters: Margaret Anna, Alice Louise, Martha Elizabeth and Ruth Frieda.
The fifth son of Adam, Jesse Philip was the overacheiver in the family. He married Myrtle Alma Mauderer a Cajun descendent from New Orleans, Louisana. Upon graduation from Capital Seminary, he decided to become a missionary. To make himself a valuable missionary he attended medical school and received a Medical Doctorate specializing in tropical diseases. He took ship to India, but World War I broke out and the ship returnded to Seattle, Washington. There he physically built and founded a Lutheran Church. Some years later, he was called to become a professor of Theology at nearby Pacific Lutheran Seminary. At Pacific Lutheran he served as Team Physician for all of the schools sports. In his spare time he headed the counties Civil Defense, which being near volcanic Mount Rainier, must have been a time consuming effort. Jesse and Myrtle had six children: Jesse Philip Martin, Jr., Wilhelm Adam "Bill", Henry Gerhard "Gary", "Merle" Robert, Raymond Edwin, and Marilyn Myrtle. I am told that he was an outstanding, memorable professor. The school saw fit to name a large dormitory in his name. The couple are buried at Mountain View Cemetery in Parkland, Washington.
The sixth son was Martin Theodore "Mart" who made a career in the United States Army. Unfortunately Uncle Mart never married.
The seventh child was my grandmother, Mary Elizabeth "Mabel" who was actually born in the families apartment in Lehmann Hall, Capital University, Bexley, Ohio. Mabel grew up in the dormitory but when it became time to attend college she could not attend Capital as it was an all male school. She attended nearby Otterbein in Westerville, Ohio to become a teacher. As her brother, Charles, was a minister in Westerville she resided with him.
Mabel attended Charles and Emma's church, Saint Paul Lutheran and there she met a tall farm boy neighbor, Charles Grover "Charlie" Wurm. The couple married at Saint Paul and had eight children, the oldest being my father, Charles Donald "Don". The seven younger children are: Arthur Eugene "Art", Dr. Melvin Adam "Mel or Doc", Ray Richard "Ray", Eloise Virginia "Eloise", Mary Jane, Theodore Irvin "Ted" and Betty Anne.
This is part of the Pflueger family history which I have been blest with. Shelly, I would be interested in your connection?
