I am looking for information on the names of the parents of
Augustus Lawson. He is listed in the 1990 census in Honey
Creek Twp, White County with his wife, Virginia. He was married
in 1872, so thought perhaps he would be listed with his father in

appreciated. Augustus was born in Sweden and I am trying to
trace him back to where he was born. Thanks so much.

I am looking for information on the Happel family. My grandfather was
David C. Happel. He was born October 4, 1898. He married Marie Pearson
from the Decatur, IN area in the twenties. They had three children.
Lillian L., Genevieve, Alvin David. Marie died in 1933. Mother was
nine years old. (Lillian) Genevieve died in 1977. Uncle lives near
Angola, but no one seems to know when the Happels came from Germany or
where in Germany they originated. David married Lulu Van Horn during
the War, 1940 0r 41. Lulu died May 22, 1959. David died in 1979 and
mother Lillian died Feb. 1980. I have been told the name Happel was
originally spelled Hoepple when the family came from Germany. There
appears to be many Happels living in Minnesota according to my phone
searce. I would like to trace our family history back to the arrival in
this country and maybe search out family members yet living in Germany.
Please anyone if you have information on this family. Help me.
