Her parents came to St Joseph Co. in 1846., where her father died Jan. 8, 1874, when he was within three weeks of being sixty-two years of age. She died on the 11th of Dec. 1888, lacking but a few weeks of completing her eighty-first years. Both were natives of Allegheny Co. Pa. and both when young emigrated to Richland Co. Ohio, where they were married. They removed to Wood Co. Ohio and later to St. Joseph Co. Mi. settling upon a farm in the Western part of Constantine Twp. in which they lived until the death of the father, after which the mother removed to the residence of her youngest daughter in Constantine Twp. where her death occurred.My Shellenberger also settled in St. Joseph Co. Mi. But I have no link to this family that I know of.
