Re: Bechdolts of Auglaize Co.

The Auglaize Co. Genealogy Society put out a book "Obits, Death Mentions & Funeral Cards". In it is the obituary for William Bechdolt - died February 15, 1901 - 89y 11m 11d - born march 4 1811 Lancaster, Penn. - age 86 went to Hagerstown, Maryland then moved to Hamilton, Oh,then to Germantown(OH). m'd Otilda Kantner 1832/33 came to Auglaize Co. - 14 children 9 died - wife died 1890.

In their book Aug. Co. Ohio Probate Court Death Records, Vols. 1,2,&3 - The above William's father William died 88y7m25d on 2 Jan 1870 Duchouquet Twp., Aug. Co. OH of Old Age. (have birth date as 19 Jan 1782 Lancaster Co. PA and death date of 2 Feb 1872 - can't find my source for this information at the moment.)

I believe both of these Williams are buried in Haruff Cem. on St Rt 33 east of Wapak (Wapakoneta). I believe both their stones are there it's been awhile since I've been there.

William Sr's wife was Mary Magdalene___ bn abt 1784/85 and died 15 sep 1846 Aug. Co. OH.

Hope this helps.
