    Frederick Menges

    Frederick Menges, of German nationality was born in 1844 and emigrated to this country, settling in Floyd Co., Ind., in 1865. His parents, Andrew and Kate (Russe) Menges, have both long ago passed away. December, 1865, he was married in this county to Susan Lembathus who is of same nativity as her husband, born in 1844. Her father, George Lembathus is deceased, but her mother is still spared. They have had three children, Katie, Anna and George. He married, secondly, March, 1877, in this county, Sarah McKown, daughter of Thornton McKown. Of this union were born four children ? Emma, Matilda, Theodore and Frances. Comrade Menges was engaged in farming when the late war broke out and was at that time 18 years old; having learned to love the country of his adoption, he enrolled, in the summer of 1862 at Louisville, Ky., as a private in Co. C., 34th Ky. V.I. While in service, he contracted rheumatism and lung trouble; he was treated in field hospital for same a short time. He took part in all the engagements incident to his command and was honorably discharged in the summer of 1865 at Knoxville, Tenn. His wife?s brother, Lafayette McKown served in the Union army during the late war. Our subject may be addressed at Greenville, Ind., near which place he is at present engaged in farming.

    Notes for J. GEORGE LAMBERTUS: Before settling on a farm just north of Lanesville, Indiana, George and family lived in Pennsylvania for eight years. When they arrived in Indiana they settled on a 60 acre tract of rolling wooded land. They were drawn to the area by Mr. Seckle, a half-brother of George's wife. He owned a small farm which ajoined George's property. George paid $400 for the farm which became known as the "homeplace." It is still in the ownership of a descendent of the family today. At a later time an additional forty acres was purchased in adjoining land bringing the total land to one hundred acres. The land purchased belonged to Mr. Richmer and wife. The farm had a few cattle, hogs, chickens and was used to raise hay and grain crops. The nearest town was Lanesville, a couple of miles, and the distance to Louisville was twenty-three miles. The family was propably Lutheran as they soon became members of the local Lutheran Church just south of Lanesville.
