Barbara Eppley married an older man when she was 18, after a few years she was widowed. Her brother Jacob married and moved to and worked Barbara's farm; remaining there until Barbara's daughter Mary married.
Barbara was a jolly person; quite a favorite with her nephews. She never came to visit with out bringing a treat for the kids. Her favorite was sweet coated anise seeds which she referred to as "Mice Drek".
Barbara was probably the catalyst who held the family together. She promoted Sunday visits and mutual help and this eventully developed into an informal family reunion.MEMORIES FROM ALICE CRUM HARROP OF HER GRANDMA LAYER.
Alice was 9 years old when her grandmother died. Being the typical 9 year old her first thought was "no more nice presents". Grandma Layer always celebrated holidays by giving wonderful gifts. Alice, nearly ninety, still has several items that her grandmother gave to her.

Father: Solomon GROGG
- BORN: 1816, Stark County, Ohio
- DIED: 1887
Born in Stark County, Ohio, Daniel Grogg was one of the early settlers of Union Township, Dekalb County, Indiana. He worked his father’s farm and received a common-school education. In 1843, he married Elizabeth Hultz/Holts (possibly the daughter of John Hotlz of Plain Twp), and his first three children were born in Ohio before he moved his family to Indiana in May of 1849. He settled on a wild tract of 120 acres, out of which he cut a successful farm and to which he added until he owned 380 acres. For the most part, he grew wheat, but also did quite a bit of stock-raising. His home and farm buildings were considered some of the best in the township. Daniel Grogg died in his Union Township home on 23 March 1887 and his wife died in 1888.
