Mark Shaffer Sat Sep 14 17:11:39 1996
I am seeking information on Franklin Glenn SHAFFER and Mamie TIPPY nee SHAFFER. Their parents were George W. SHAFFER and Minnie Ann DAUGHERTY. Both were born near Clark's Hill, Tippecanoe Co., Indiana. Frank was born on June 25, 1879. It was traditional in George's family to call the boys by their middle name. I do not know if Glenn carried this tradition into manhood. The point is that a reference to Frank Shaffer, Glenn Shaffer, or Frank G. SHAFFER may be referring to the same person. Family tradition also states that Glenn was a police officer in Marion, Indiana. I know that in 1918, Frank was living in Colburn, Tippecanoe Co., Indiana. In 1935, he was living in Marion, and was married. He died in April of 1975. His last known residence was Marion, Grant Co., Indiana. Little is know about Mamie SHAFFER. She was born after 1888 and before the death of her mother on July 31, 1890. Mamie may have been a nickname, possibly for Mary. Mamie married Jessie TIPPY, and was living in Marion in 1918. Mamie and Jessie were still living in Marion in 1935. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

Henry died in 1929 and Jennie Died 1932. They had one daughter that I know of she was born in White County in 1889. So if you could find any infor it would be greatly appreciated.
