An Old Pioneer Gone

Daniel Zenor died at the residence of J. M Boothe, his son-in-law, in Bowling Green, Ind., March 29, 1890, aged 78 years, 10 months, and 22 days. He was born in Harrison county, Indiana, and moved with his parents to Clay county when he was about 8 years of age, and has resided in Bowling Green, or its immediate vicinity, nearly seventy years. He was married to Elizabeth Leonard, August 16, 1832, and they lived together as husband and wife 56 years, 9 months, and 12 days. There were born unto them 8 children. Four of them are deceased. The four living are Mrs. Brad Orman, Mrs. J. M. Boothe, John H. and Joseph M. Zenor. Daniel Zenor was an honest, upright citizen, and his funeral was largely attended.

One Place Study

This month I had to create a locality guide for my ProGen monthly assignment. I chose Clay County, Indiana, the birthplace of my grandfather Roscoe. Over the years I have collected quite a bit from this Indiana county, and I have decided to share what I have collected. There is now a Clay County button at the top of the page. The main page contains the bulk of the information I gathered for the locality guide. At this point I have added one sub-page for a photo gallery. I will eventually add another page for biographies of Clay City and Harrison township residents.

Check out the photo gallery so far, and come back often as I will be updating the galleries as time allows. https://genealogylady.net/clay-county/clay-county-photographs/

I have also registered my website as the official Clay County One Place Study.
