Notes |
- Alice's actual birth date is somewhat of a mystery. There are several contradictions among her known documents (as of 20 Mar 2018 herein). The 1900 Census record may be the most accurate. Hopefully, someone living in the area where Alice lived will do some additional research on her. (David H. Drollinger 20 Mar 2018)

Alice may have been an only child of William and Harriet Drollinger. Her death record (1913 p 70 Fountain County Certificate of Death Registered # 144) says she was born in Fountain County but I suspicion Clinton or at least the family was there when she was young. The Informant on her death record was not a family member, but Sam H. Sowers, the superintendent of the poor home. She died on Christmas Eve 1913 at 10:45 p.m. at "the county infirmary." It is noted that she is buried "at Indianapolis." A couple of others were too which likely meant she was used for science as she had "Bright's Disease?" and arteriosclerosis at her death. Dr. CC Wert was the doctor who took care of the county farm patients and he signed her death records. I have several county farm folks listed for the Montgomery County Poor Farm as well and when they note "Indianapolis" or "Medical Purposes" they don't seem to return or seem to be buried in a cemetery in the big city, thus I'm listing Alice so that she will have a "place to rest," so to speak!
