NOTE: Samuel R. served in WW I. Berniece Hawkins was from Sharpsville, Tipton Co., IN, and both of them are buried there. I do not know where they were married (probably Tipton County, where the Hawkins' were a very prominent family), following the marriage, they lived in Ft. Wayne, Indian where Sam worked for the "Sentinal." He lost that job in the early 1930s, during the depression, and they then returned to Sharpsville, Indiana. He got a job with the State Highway Dept., and later became a mailman, he retiring from the US Postal Service after 20 years. They retired to Florida, probably in the late 1950s.

Bollenbacher deaths from Family Bible, Samuel Bollenbacher died Aug 1903.NEWSPAPER: Source: Bloomington (IN) Telephone, February 14, 1890, p. 1. The funeral of Miss Ida McPhetridge took place from the Christian Church Tuesday afternoon. Miss Ida had many friends and long before the time for the services the house was crowded. Rev. W. F. Ross had charge and made a very appropriate address for such an occasion. He was followed by Prof. Atwater who made a few remakrs. Ira Batman, on behalf of the Sunday School, read a paper on the life and character of the dead. The pall bearers were selected from the friends of the deceased before she died and were Bert Harn, Sam. Bollenbacher, Harry Orchard, Charlie Showers, Helton Pauley, and Howard Tourner. The floral offerings were carried by Otto Andeson, Mell. Faris and Joe McKinley. The young gentlemen friends presented a beautiful floral design in the shape of a broken wheel; also a handsome cross that decorated the white casket in which the remains were encased.
