Trusheims and Roeders

More from Daniel Flora on his family. 

Trusheim home. 
 
This home belonged to Justus Trusheim and Anna Götzel. They farmed approximately 240 acres.  If you kept going about 2-4 more miles east you'd hit the Roeder farm. This is likely how my G Grandparents met; though the story is they met while in Minnesota.

This is Daniel Flora standing in Lyman Township Cemetery in Roberts.  He has probably made the most photo contributions to the Roberts Illinois History Group Facebook page.  These photos and stories are part of his genealogical work in Roberts and Lyman Township.  His family lines are Roeder, Zahn, Tarvin, Newman, Trusheim, and more.  If you are researching these lines, Daniel would love to hear from you.  You can write a comment in the guest book on this page or contact Daniel on Facebook.
