      Looking for info on ALPHEUS/ALPHIUS/ADOLPHEUS/ALDOLPHIUS SWITZER. Brother of Silas Murray Switzer. Alpheus marries SUSAN DROLLINGER. Silas Switzer lived in Shannon City, IA and was married in Creston, IA by Justice of the Peace, LB A. Porter, on Jan. 24th, 1882. Alpheus is said to have been buried in Creston, IA. He had no children. Silas moved to Oklahoma and is buried in Oklahoma City, OK. Alpheus is said to have been born on 5/22/1840, possibly in Lancaster County, PA. Alpheus was said to have been in the Civil War and fighting in Illinois. I have no confirmation on that. If you have any info on either of these people, please contact me. Thanks, Mike Switzer
