Your Aunt Elizabeth was so very helpful and generous to me when I first began searching for my grandfather's siblings. The photos I have of Jacob came from her. How sad that her memory has failed. I hope she shared lots of her memories in earlier times. <br /><br />My only living Meinzen aunt remembers Aunt Sudie and Uncle Tom very fondly. Even though Sudie was only a Meinzen by marriage and her husband died, I think it says a lot about her that she kept contact with the Meinzens -- which let Elizabeth know them. My aunt tried to contact Elizabeth a few years ago and didn't get a response. She may have already been losing her memory by then.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words about my blog and your wish for His blessings. I appreciate them. (He does bless us richly!) I wish the same for you.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-9441000114268291132014-04-05T13:21:11.739-04:002014-04-05T13:21:11.739-04:00Hi Nancy, Aunt Elizabeth is still living and will...Hi Nancy, Aunt Elizabeth is still living and will be 97on May 29th. She is in a nursing home in Louisville, Ohio living close to her youngest daughter Mary Jane. She does not know anyone any more. <br /> She was Grandma Sudies first born and the last of all Grandmas children to be living. I have been looking at your blog site and it is beyond awesome. You have done a super job with the information. I was truly fascinated reading thru all that I read. Grandma Sudie married Thomas J. Park and that brought 4 children together. One from Grandma and 3 from Grandpa. Together they had 6 more, among them my mother Melva. I proud to say my grandparents were the sweetest, most generous Christian people I have ever known. I miss them dearly. Thank you for your wonderful site. May God richly bless you and your family~ Gloria~pinkie1018https://www.blogger.com/profile/15378090190130690640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-74921653140781212222012-06-28T00:46:24.028-04:002012-06-28T00:46:24.028-04:00Hi, Gloria. How nice to hear from you. Thank you...Hi, Gloria. How nice to hear from you. Thank you for your kind comments. There are several other posts about Jacob. If you want to see them you can use the search box on the left sidebar of this blog.<br /><br />I was in touch with Elizabeth but the last time I wrote, my letter was returned. I didn't know if she'd passed away or if she'd moved. Do you have contact with her? If so, please give her my regards.<br /><br />It's interesting that there are Armitages in Mahoning County. I wonder if they are related to "my" Armitages.<br /><br />Thanks again for your kind words. I appreciate them.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-42978915145812979032012-06-21T09:20:31.461-04:002012-06-21T09:20:31.461-04:00Good morning~ I am granddaughter of Sudie Coss Me...Good morning~ I am granddaughter of Sudie Coss Meinzen Park. I was surprised to see Jacob Meinzen in print. All I know of him is he died young and he was the father of Elizabeth. She is still living at the age of about 94. I have never seen the photo of Jacob & Sudie on their wedding day- so precious. I do not descend from Jacob but I am interested in his life story. Thank you for posting all of this. He was a very handsome young man, so tragic to die so young. The name Armitage is found here where I now live in Smith township of Mahoning county Ohio. I am not related to them. You presented Jacobs brief life very nicely. I feel like I know him now.

My great, great,...you know, emigrated to Defiance Ohio in 1972. His name was Willem Meinzen. Were they cousins? I don't know. At any rate my email is tmeinzen@gmail.com.<br /><br />thanks<br />tmMr. Meinzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978511318697863871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-92113034210083355382009-11-17T10:44:19.862-05:002009-11-17T10:44:19.862-05:00Wow, they are 23 months apart.

Such a sad story of how he died.Natasha and Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454014270247663146noreply@blogger.com
