With the obituaries, death record transcriptions, and funeral home transcriptions obtained in Wabash, Indiana this past week, I now have names of several children of two of the grandchildren of Anthony and Eliza Jane Wise Hoffman that may be living in Wabash County.
Last week I ordered obituaries for Minnie Hoffman Fluke and her husband Perry. Those were received on Friday from the Ashland County Public Library (Ohio). They had three children, Kelsey; Florence, who married Harry D. Sites; and Helen Rose Fluke. The obituaries for Minnie and Perry stated that they had six grandsons. With that information I was able to find entries in various online obituary databases and have ordered six more obituaries from Wayne and Ashland Counties Ohio. It looks like there is a good possibility that there may be living grandchildren of Kelsey Fluke and Florence Fluke Sites. I'll know more once I get the copies of those obituaries.
Since there are so many changes and additional information, rather than update the initial post on Eliza's family, I'm going to wait until the obituaries are received from Ohio and see what else can be found.
I still need to review the information that was found earlier this week on the family of Ella Mohler, who was mentioned in Eliza's obituary as her sister.
It's been fun researching these past two weeks!

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.
I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com
This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
