Valerie, I took a day trip to Mansfield, Ohio yesterday and looked through the county's records. I really needed more time, and I will eventually go
back some day. For right now though, I thought that I'd pass along the information that I found. First the births.
Leroy Laughbaum
Born: November 17, 1879
Place: Shelby, Ohio
Father: Levi Daniel Laughbaum
Mother: Sarah Hollenbaugh
Residence of Parents: Plymouth
Record: Volume 3 Page242
Carl E. Laughbaum
Born: June 30, 1904
Father: Leroy Laughbaum
Mother: Duey Wise
Residence of Parents: Jackson Township
Record: Volume 3 Page 237
Now a death.
Sarah Laughbaum
Died: January 27, 1906
Age: 65 Years 10 Months 17 Days
Place of Death: Jackson Township
Born: Richland County, Ohio
Occupation: Farmer
Cause of Death: Pneumonia
Record: Book 2 Page 253
Now a Richland County, Ohio probate court record.
Levi D. Laughbaum
Executor: Isaac Hollenbaugh
Index: Volume 3 Page 248
Number & Box: 4665 (This is how the material is actually filed.)
Executor's Docket: Volume 4 Page 469
Minute Docket: Volume 12 Page 130
Inventory Record: Volume 22 Page 417
Record of Bonds: Volume 9 Page 527
Valerie, I pulled this file and looked at the records for Levi Laughbaum. I
doubt if they have been disturbed since the day that they were originally
filed away. It states that Levi did not have a will. Sarah relenquished
all administrative responsibility for handling the estate to her brother,
Isaac Hollenbaugh, in December 1898. Levi and Daniel are listed as having a
son, Leroy, 19 years of age, who was an only child. I don't have a copy of
the final disbursements, but if I remember right, Sarah was paid $200 as a
widow's benefit and about $887 as an estate settlement. Elsewhere it states
that the personal property was worth about $1000 and there is a "Total
appraisment of securities" for $1411. So, the couple was not impoverished
like Sarah's sister Mary Ann was when her husband Hezekiah May died. It
looks Hezekiah didn't have a will either, and when I looked at his probate
court records all I found was records of bills. How Mary Ann fared I don't
really know, but I have another record of her trying to sell off property
after Hezekiah's death. May Ann and Hezekiah had only been married about
three years when he died, and it looks like he had a lot of debts. Even
Hezekiah's family members are listed as creditors.
I didn't copy all of Levi's probate records, but I did copy some. If you
are interested in a copy of what I have, just let me know and send me your
snail-mail address. Hope that this is some help. As you can see from the
birth listings, Levi's son, Leroy, had a son named Carl E. Who the rest of
the Laughbaums are I can't say as of yet, but as I remember you are related
to Horatio.
Still working on trying to reassemble Sarah's family. It's slow work. The
records from 1840 Ohio are not plentiful, and I was told yesterday that
adoption records in Ohio are sealed indefinitely. Seems kind of silly when
the people involved have been dead for about a hundred years. I'll keep
looking though until I exhaust my resources.
Let me know if you find anything more.
Thanks for your help.
Bruce

Valerie, I went back to Richland County the other day and I found some additional information on the Laughbaums. Most of it is on Levi Laughbaum,
but I have some additional materialon Catherine Laughbaum. If you send me your snail mail address I'll copy it and send it to you. For now, I'll
transcribe a bit.

She was united in marriage to Levi Laughbaum of Richland county, Ohio in
1868.
One child was born to this union.
By hard toil and economic management they succeeded in building up form
themselves a beautiful home and a competence sufficient to keep them
comfortable all their days.
For many years she has been a member of the First Methodist Episcopal church

Besides her son, Leroy Laughbaum residing on the old homestead, Mrs.

Hollenbaugh, of Williams county, O., David Hollenbaugh of Defiance, O. John
Hollenbaugh living in the state of Indiana, and Isaac Hollenbaugh of Shiloh,
O.
Our deceased sisted possessed a retiring and unostentacious disposition
rather shrinking from publicity, but was a kind good neighbor loved by all
who knew her.

The other piece is too long for me to copy since I'm such a lousy typist.
It deals with the Ollie M. (Morrow) Swartz family and is from a book on
families of Crawford County, Ohio. Unfortunately I forgot to copy the
publishing information. If I get back to the library in Shelby, Ohio I'll
get the information. Basically though it deals with Solomon Laughbaum's
daughter, Catherine who married William Morrow. If you're not interested
that's okay. Just let me know if you want copies of anything. Please let
me know if you ever come across additional information on the associated
Hollenbaughs. I'm still plugging away at trying to figure out who they all
are and what happend to everyone.
Hope that things are going well
Bruce Arnold
