Ephraim's brother John Rank Ditmer married Corilla Penny, Amanda’s cousin.

          Known children of Amanda4 PENNY and Ephraim DITMER, all born in Union Township, Miami County, Ohio, were as follows:

                   172        i.    Edward A.5 DITMER was born circa 1865. His name was given as Edwin in the 1880 federal census.  He married Luvernia Warner in Miami County 29 December 1882.

                   175       iv.    Harriet DITMER, known as Hattie, was born 19 May 1874 and married Fremont C. MIKESELL in Miami County, Ohio 19 February 1895. He was born in 1862 in Ohio, the son of Simon and Elizabeth Mikesell of Pennsylvania. Hattie and Fremont were enumerated in Troy, Miami County in the 1900 federal census. He was a fruit tree salesman. Also in the household was lodger Sam Frank, born in September 1868 in Ohio. Although neither Freeman nor Hattie can be found in the 1910 census, Sam was in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio, living alone, and was a saloon keeper. Hattie died in Dayton 20 October 1913 at age 39. The cause of death was given as cerebral hemorrhage due to chronic alcoholism, and interestingly Samuel Frank was listed as the informant on her death certificate. Hattie was buried 22 October 1913 in Riverside Cemetery, Troy, Miami County, Ohio.

                   176        v.    Frank DITMER was born circa 1877.

 

     50.  Harvey J.4 PENNY (Elijah3, John2, Henry1) was born in 1858 in Ohio. He married Lavinia ISENBARGER 9 October 1879 in Miami County, Ohio. Lavinia was born in 1857 in Ohio.

     It is possible that this is the Harvey J.Penny who also married Ida BOYER 13 August 1887 in Miami County, Ohio.  A Goldie Penny, born 24 April 1890 in Laura was admitted to the Miami County Children's Home 4 November 1898. Records say her father Harvey abandoned the family and she was returned to her mother Ida. Goldie was then readmitted to the home, but subsequently surrendered to her grandmother in Dayton. The date of her last discharge was 20 October 1900. Additionally, Goldie's brother Harry, born 27 December 1887 in Bradford, Miami County, was admitted to the Children's Home 4 November 1898. His records say that after his father Harvey abandoned the family Harry was surrendered to his mother. Then he was readmitted to the home, but subsequently indentured to Esty Elleman of Ludlow, Ohio. He was later indentured to E.M. Pemberton of Laura, and then Elmer Esteline of Tippecanoe City. Harry was last discharged from the home 25 August 1901. Finally, Hettie, daughter of Harvey and Ida Penny, was admitted to the Children's Home 4 November 1898. Her records show she was taken on trial by J. U. Carte of West Milton, then readmitted to the home. She was subsequently surrendered to her mother, but later readmitted to the home. Finally, she was taken by her father in Troy, Ohio. Her last date of discharge was 30 June 1902. Hettie was likely Hattie Jeanettte, born 7 April 1894 in Troy, per birth records in Miami County Probate Court. Probate Court records also show a Ruth Penny born 29 March 1897 in Troy to Harvey and Ida.  Miami County Probate Records show several criminal cases against a Harvey J. Penny -- one dated 27 October 1880, another 23 January 1888 and the other 17 November 1897. There was a Habeas Corpus involving Harvey J. Penny 16 November 1892. An Ida Penny, age 41, single, born January 1859, was a boarder in the home of Hattie Furnas, age 33, in Piqua, Miami County, Ohio in 1900. This was likely the Ida (Boyer) Penny in question. Harvey J. was not found in the 1900, 1910, 1920 or 1930 census indexes. 

    It is known for a fact that Harvey, son of Elijah and Rachel (Miles) Penny, did marry Jennie TOWNSEND 19  February 1902 in Miami County as their names were on his marriage record. However, the record indicates that both the bride and groom had been married just once before, which if true would mean that it was a different Harvey J. Penny who married Ida Boyer. Jennie was the daughter of Amos and Minerva (Wintrow/Winterowd) Townsend, born on July 5 circa 1863 in Darke County, Ohio. In the 1870 census her name was enumerated as Barbara J.; Barbery in the 1880. As Jennie Townsend she married 26 December 1883 in Miami County Clinton F. Parks, who was born circa 1860 in Ohio. It is not known if the couple divorced or if he died; neither can be found in the 1900 federal census. 

        Known children of Harvey J.4 PENNY and Lavinia ISENBARGER were:

                   177        i.    Myrtle Pearl5 PENNY was born 3 June 1880 in Laura, Miami County, Ohio.

 

     52.  John Wesley4 PENNY (Richard3, John2, Henry1) was born 12 June 1837 in Ohio, and married Sarah MUCK 26 October 1865 in Miami County, Ohio.  John died of stomach cancer 14 November 1909 in Union Township, Miami County at age 72, and was buried 16 November 1909 in Old Ludlow Cemetery, Laura, Miami County.

          Sarah, John’s wife, was born 18 September 1844 in Union, Montgomery County, Ohio, the daughter of Samuel Jacob and Anna Christiana (Smith) Muck of Pennsylvania.  She died of pneumonia with the contributing cause of breast cancer 19 October 1932 in Franklin Township, Darke County, Ohio at age 88, and was buried 22 October 1932 in Old Ludlow Cemetery.

                   180       iii.    Anna Christiana PENNY was born 23 November 1871 and died 7 August 1949 in Flint, Genesee County, Michigan at age 77. She married Jacob Lincoln SCHNECK, the son of John and Bessie Schneck, 19 January 1888 in Darke County, Ohio. Jacob was born 28 November 1868 in Darke County and died 29 October 1945 at age 76 in Flint. The couple had sons John Wesley, born 21 January 1889 in Darke County and died 4 May 1949 in Flint at age 49 who married first Ada Loretta PANSING 19 December 1908 in Montgomery County, Ohio, married second Ruth [--?--] circa 1915, and married third Mabel Lorraine BRACEWELL 15 April 1931 in Flint; Scott Winfield, born 8 June 1892 in Laura, Miami County, Ohio and died 2 December 1972 at age 80 in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio who married Cora Ellen [--?--] circa 1921 in Dayton; Glen Oscar, born 9 December 1894 in Brookville, Montgomery County, Ohio and married Evelyn E. LEIGHTON circa 1925; and Burlen Clyde, born 9 August 1896 in Brookville who married Cleora BUELL 17 January 1920 in Flint. Some time between 1900 and 1910 Jacob and Anna divorced and in the 1910 federal census he and son Scott were enumerated in Richwood, Nicholas County, West Virginia. Anna cannot be found in the 1910 census, but by 1920  she resided in Dayton with sons Scott and Glen; her marital status given as widowed. Jacob, a sewing machine salesman, was enumerated with wife Jennie Long in Trenton, Butler County, Ohio. Jennie was the daughter of Elias and Phoebe A. (Gardner) Long. She died 1 January 1926 in Trenton and her death certificate, on which Jacob was the informant, gives her age as around 65, with no specific dates. Census records for 1860 and 1860 give her approximate date of birth as 1855. Jacob and Anna presumably remarried as they were together in the 1930 census in that city. In 1932 at the time of her mother's death, Anna, and presumably Jacob, were in Clio, Genesee County, Michigan.

     60.  Elmira4 PENNY (John3, John2, Henry1) was born 13 May 1837 in Monroe Township, Darke County, Ohio and died between 1910 and 1920, probably in Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana.  She married Elam BURCH 2 October 1852 in Miami County.

          Known children of Elmira4 PENNY and Elam BURCH were as follows:

                   216        i.    Sarah S.5 BURCH was born 28 February 1867 according to her death certificate, and 31 January 1865 according to her marriage record, but she was aged 13 in the 1870 federal census (circa 1857) and 23 in the 1880 census. It would appear that in later censuses she shaved off a few years, perhaps because her second husband was born in 1873 and she did not want to acknowledge such a large age gap between them. Sarah married first Anson PEARSON 8 July 1876 in Darke County, Ohio. Anson was born in December 1845 in Ohio and was the son of Abel Insco and Sarah (Coppock Waymire) Pearson and brother of Margaret Pearson, the second wife of Thomas W. Penny, Sarah's second cousin once removed. It would appear that Sarah and Anson divorced, as she was not in his household in the 1900 census, and was remarried in 1901. Her second husband was James Elmer RILEY, son of James and Hannah (Dickenson) Riley, who was born 25 December 1873 in Van Wert County, Ohio and died of prostate cancer in that county 21 January 1941 at age 67.  He remarried after Sarah died of angina pectoris 17 April 1934 in Van Wert County at age '67' (actually 77).

(Isaac's age at death would make his date of birth January 1880, eight months after Rollin's birth, not four months before.); and Amie, born circa 1881. In the 1880 federal census the family was in Franklin Township, Darke County, Ohio, two doors away from Sarah’s father and mother, but by 1900 the family, minus Sarah, had moved to Marseilles, Wyandot County, Ohio and lived a short distance from Sarah’s brother Tobias’ family. In 1910 Anson was listed as single, age 65, a boarder in the household of Marilla Waymire in Newton Township, Miami County, Ohio. Anson died 18 September 1923 in Toledo State Hospital, Lucas County, Ohio of senility and chronic valvular heart disease and was buried 16 September 1923 in Van Wert, Ohio. His surname on his death certificate was spelled Pierson.

Maurice died 4 February 1953 in San Bernardino County,California at age 88.

DAVIS 25 July 1925 in Allen County, Indiana; and Nora A., born in March 1898. By 1910, Alonzo was remarried for seven years to Dora O. [--?--], born circa 1872 in Indiana, the second marriage for both, and the couple was residing in Helena Township, Antrim County, Michigan. In the household were Clark and Nora, as well as two children of Alonzo and Dora: Nellie G., age 5; and Zella, age 2. Alonzo died in 1955 at age 90 and was buried in Woodland Union Cemetery, Van Wert County, Ohio.

          Liberty was for a time a farmer, however in 1901 he supposedly bought the property at 406 South Main Street in Laura from Riley Wintrow, his first cousin once removed, and moved the buildings on the lot back a few feet, dug a cellar under the house to the north, and established the Penny Bakery. It is not known how long the bakery was in operation, but by 1910 the family lived in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio. The 1910 federal census noted that Sarah had 15 children, 8 living.  Her obituary confirmed she had 15 children - 11 daughters and 4 sons. At death she had 7 surviving daughters and her obituary named five: Miss Osa Penny, Mrs. Pat Sullivan, Mrs. Will Paff, Mrs. Clark Sullivan and Mrs. Cora Russell.
