9156 I683  Drollinger  Edward Leroy  21 Feb 1931  3 Apr 2022  Edward Leroy Drollinger, Jr., passed away April 3, 2022. He was born in Cleveland on February 21, 1931 to the late Edward Leroy and Josephine "Jo" (nee Peters) Drollinger, Sr. After graduating from James Ford Rhodes High School in 1949 he attended The Ohio State University, graduating cum laude and earning both a Bachelor's and Master's Degree of Science in Horticulture in 1957. In his early college years, Edward married Alice Patricia (nee Richley) on September 22, 1951 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in East Cleveland and remained dedicated to her until her passing in 2011. While pursuing his Master's degree, he worked as an extension agent for OSU where he evaluated soil and advised crop rotation and proper soil fertilization to farmers throughout Ohio. Upon graduation, Edward's first job was manager at Yoder's Greenhouse in Lancaster, Ohio. When he was offered the plant manager position at Bunker Hill Greenhouse, he moved his wife and two sons to Medina, Ohio, and assisted in the planning, design, and modernization of their eight-acre greenhouse on Watkins Road. His interest for over 50 years was raising the best hybrid tomatoes and cucumbers for the consumer along with tropical plants for his family. As his family grew, two additional sons joined their father and older brothers working at the greenhouse. With the passing of time, their sons went off to college and Edward and Alice took time for themselves. They enjoyed cruises to Europe, Alaska, and the Panama Canal. He was an avid Buckeye fan and followed all of the OSU teams religiously. After Alice passed, the high point of his day was having a fresh cup of coffee with his morning buddies. Edward is survived by his sons Dale (Diana), Gary (Heidi), and Darrin (Beth) Drollinger; and sister Marilyn (Bernie) Maher. He was blessed with numerous grandchildren, a great-grandchild, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his son Edward L. Drollinger, III; sister Virginia Woodall; and his brother Donald Drollinger. The family will gather to celebrate his life from 1-5:00 pm, Saturday, April 9, 2022, at Waite & Son Funeral Home, 765 N. Court St., Medina 44256. Private burial will be held at Spring Grove Cemetery in Medina. Online condolences and a place to share memories may be found at waitefuneralhome.com.  tree1

Seniors Welcome Expanded Meal Service
By Ted Reckas
Ralph "Dutch" Vanderhoof gets Meals on Wheels in his Laguna Beach home, in addition to help from family members and neighbors. Meals on Wheels is expanding its services to about 50 home-bound Laguna Beach seniors and will deliver three meals per day, instead of two, as well as on weekends and holidays, beginning next Monday, Feb. 1
The service fills an indispensable gap for seniors who are no longer able to shop and cook, but want to remain in their own homes.
Kit Drollinger, an 83-yearold Laguna resident dining on Meals on Wheels fare for three years, said if she didn't get the service, "I don't know what I'd do."
Drollinger suffers from glaucoma and macular degeneration. After an unsuccessful surgery to correct it, she has lost her sight and doesn't go out much. Her husband Ed remains quite active, going to the Susi Q Center, Village Laguna meetings and other activities, but doesn't cook. Their 53-year-old daughter Susan, who lives in Portola Hills, cooks meals every other weekend. But it's not enough.
"Sometimes I have Ensure," Kit said. "I like Ensure. We'd probably have Stouffer's frozen stuff if we didn't get the meals."
Ralph "Dutch" Vanderhoof, another Laguna Beach senior, lives alone since his wife died several years ago. Though he has a nephew who regularly stays with him and cooks meals, and neighbors help out, Meals on Wheels has been indispensable to him.
Asked if he cooks, Vanderhoof replied, "No, I defrost," referring to frozen meals the service provides in addition to hot ones. "I think (the food) is fine," he added.
The service is free, although those who can pay $5.50 per day for the cost of the meals. Fewer people are able to pay, as the economic downturn has chewed up disposable income.
Top, Ed and Kit Drollinger have dined on Meals on Wheels for about three years. Bottom, Alayne de-Recat of San Juan Capistrano has been delivering meals to Laguna Beach Seniors for 10 years, through St. Catherine's School volunteer program. "It has pushed people over the edge. They were coping before but they can't now; they can't make due," said Judy Denton, a case manager at Laguna Beach's Susie Q Senior Center, where about 35 lunches are served daily to seniors who can come downtown. More of her clients now welcome Meals on Wheels deliveries to stretch their budgets. "Now it's a necessity. Their SSI (Supplemental Security Income) was cut, so Meals on Wheels is an alternative."
Denton added, "The acuity for people 50-60 needing help and meals has really gone up. They are more in the picture now than they ever were before." About 4,381 residents or 18 percent of the town's population are 62 and older, according to 2000 census information.
At the Susi Q Senior Center, more meals are being served than in recent years, but director Bea Field attributes it to the new facility, not economics. The same goes for overall participation in activities.
To qualify for the Meals on Wheels service, "clients need to be over 60, and incapable of shopping, cooking or looking after themselves," said Richard Arguile, the program manager for Age Well Senior Services, who manages meal programs for 11 cities in South Orange County, and works with Mission Hospital to administer the Laguna Beach program. The goal is to reach homebound seniors at high risk of inadequate nutrition; meals come from Langlois frozen food, based in Laguna Beach, he said.
When meals were provided by Mission Hospital's kitchen, they were not available on weekends and holidays. The change to Langlois increases capacity to cover those days now, according to Arguile, by providing pre-made meals on Friday that clients can eat over the weekend.
Meals on Wheels relies heavily on volunteers; the service needs seven drivers per day, five days per week. Arguile taps a roster of about 50-60 volunteer drivers to fill those slots every week. "It takes about a two hour commitment in the middle of the day," he said.
Alayne de-Recat of San Juan Capistrano, has been driving a route for 10 years, since her daughter was in kindergarten at St. Catherine's School and she became involved through their volunteer program.
"You get attached to your clients," she said, adding, "A lot of these people really want to stay in their homes. This is a great opportunity for them to do that."

The Baldwin Village, Hempstead Township, County of Nassau, NY, 1930 Census, enumerated on 16 Apr 1930, lists 'Edward Drollinger' as head of household, age 28 at last birthday, age 20 at time of first marriage and born in New York and his occupation was given as a 'Signalman - railroad'. Edward's father and mother are both listed as being born in New York. His wife is listed as 'Grace Drollinger' age 30 at last birthday, age 22 at time of first marriage and born in Canada. Grace's father and mother are both listed as being born in Canada. Edward and Grace are listed with their son, 'Edward Drollinger' age 4-6/12 (it appears to read "6/12") at last birthday and born in New York. Also listed is a 'boarder', 'Lewis McCarthy' age 21 at last birthday. No other family members appear to be listed.

9160 I14380  Drollinger  Edward Stuart  22 Sep 1925  21 Apr 2012  Ed Drollinger, a rail-thin fixture at Laguna Beach's public meetings and an often obsessive volunteer for several local organizations, died Saturday, April 21.

He was 86, had lived in Laguna since 1976, and recently fell and was hospitalized.

His wife of 61 years, known as Kit, died in October 2010. They most their Mystic Hills home in the 1993 fire, but moved back to the rebuilt structure within a year.

"He was so into everything in Laguna," said his daughter, Susan Conner, who recalled her father's "quirky expression," joking about his own death. "I'm already in heaven," he would say of Laguna.

A memorial service will be planned for Drollinger in town in the very near future, Conner said.

Drollinger, an engineer who graduated from Columbia University, sold electric instruments to universities.

"You know I don't think there was a public meeting that Ed didn't attend when he could. He was always so kind and thoughtful of everyone," said Carolyn Wood, founder of the Laguna Canyon Conservancy where Drollinger for 15 years took reservations for 100 people at monthly meetings. "We will never forget Ed's help and dedication," she said.

Drollinger also volunteered with the Chamber of Commerce's beatification council, the library, senior center, Legionaires and Democratic Club. He also enjoyed "Lagunatics," his daughter said.

Survivors include daughters Ruth Hart and Susan Conner, son-in-law Ben Conner, grandsons Brian and Eric Conner, grand-daughter-in-law Denise Conner, and great-grandchildren Amy and Ian Conner.

"I remember that Kathy was her favorite grandchild, no question.

"When we slept over at her house, she had 2 cots. It was fun to sleep on them.

"Once she fixed me a tomato for lunch and I didn't eat it because I didn't like it. So when it was time for supper, she gave me the tomato again. She didn't waste anything. She would cut her paper towels in half rather than use a whole towel.

"I remember making the lye soap.

"Memorial Day was a big holiday. We all met at her house and arranged lots of flowers and then went to the Payson Cemetery and decorated graves of people I never knew.

"When I had kids of my own, I would try to go up at least once a week. She seemed to love it when I came but it was sure difficult to find the time. She had a marble tower where marbles rolled down different levels and the kids loved it. It was so noisy! She spent most of her time in her chair watching TV and I think she was glad to have someone else to watch, even if it was noisy kids.

"When she got old she asked me several times to let her move into our basement. She offered to pay to finish it if we'd let her live there. I felt very guilty, but we were not home very often and she would be alone far too much. In reality, she could not have gotten up and down the stairs.

"She had a very rough 10 years prior to death with emphysema, probably from asthma or being around others who smoked, I'm not sure. She was on oxygen the last few years and struggled to breath. She coughed a lot and her feet were always very swollen.

"The last time I helped her bath, it was all I could do to get her out of the tub. She was almost dead weight and wet and slippery. I finally got her out by wrapping her in towels and lifting more weight than I ever recall. I think she was so humiliated and I cried because I just couldn't keep it up. After than, Aunt Arlene took her to live at her house. I think she just did bed baths after that.

"Her health continued to go downhill and finally Aunt Arlene had to put her in a nursing home. I went to see her one night and she had fallen on the floor in the bathroom. I helped her back to bed and she wouldn't speak to me. We went down one more time at Christmas and she wouldn't talk to us then either. She was angry at being there. Dad went to see her every day.

"I went to work one Saturday and one of the nurses said to me, "I'm sorry about your grandmother." I asked her what she meant and she said that she was in ICU on a ventilator. I thought, "Why was she there because none of the family would have wanted her on a vent?" Come to find out, she got worse with pneumonia and the nursing home could not find dad or Arlene, so they just sent her to the hospital, not knowing who else to call. She had been there almost a day. I got a hold of Dad and Arlene and they made the decision to not prolong life support and let her go. She died about 12 hours later. It was hard for Dad to sit in her room and watch her fight for breath. Hard on me too.

"Grandpa Bert (Sanford) was diagnosed with advanced bone cancer and went to live with his daughters. He was later placed in a nursing home in Provo. I went to visit and could tell he wasn't going to live much longer. I asked Grandma if she wanted to go see him and she didn't. I kept encouraging it and finally convinced her that I could get her there and back. She was so sick herself, she didn't think she could make it. Finally she gave in and I took her over. It was the last time they ever saw each other and I think she was shocked to see how bad he looked. He looked like a skeleton, barely alive. He was very surprised to see her and they held hands and cried. I left them alone for a 1/2 hour (so I could go cry myself) so I'm not sure what they talked about or if they really even said anything. When we went to leave, I helped her get out of the wheelchair the best she could and him wiggle over to the side of the bed so they could kiss goodbye. It was an emotional experience but I was glad they got to see each other one more time.

"Grandma taught me to cross-stitch and embroider. She gave me a blue checked table cloth the size of a card table when I was in the 4th or 5th grade. I decided to embroider all the flowers in black. It must have taken 10 to 15 years to complete but she seemed pleased when I did. One of my favorite things to play with at her house was the sewing cards. And I liked her to read to us.

"Grandma always fed all the left over scraps to the cats. They were wild cats but would come up to the back door to get the food she gave them.

"She had an old wringer washer for years. She would hang clothes out back on the line.

"Her house was always neat and clean and organized in a practical way. I remember she kept the toaster on the kitchen table and I thought that was cool because they could make toast as they wanted it without getting up.

"She grew tulips in a big round area in her back lawn. When she couldn't take care of them anymore, she dug them up and gave them to me. I planted them along the side of my house and they bloomed for several years and then they finally all died. But when they bloomed I always thought of her.

"She always had a current temple recommend, even when she was home bound. I remember the bishop coming to her house to interview her.

"I had never eaten Cream of Wheat before. Grandma Bert fixed me a bowl and it tasted so good I ate and ate and ate. I ate so much that I threw up afterwards! I still love Cream of Wheat and always think of her when I eat it.

"Tomato soup with oyster crackers - she would give us lots of those little oyster crackers so we would eat the soup.

"She used to make her own lye soap. She would collect grease drippings in a can on the stove and use it to make the soap. When she got it into square blocks of soap, she would grind it up in a meat grinder and use it for laundry soap in her old wringer washer. I was always afraid of that washer - I had heard a story about someone getting their arm caught in one.

"She would always read to me. We would sit on the couch and read story after story. I still remember the story of the little mouse who went into the junkyard and something fell on top of him and he was trapped. It was my favorite and she must have read it to me a hundred times.

"I remember sleeping over at her house and laying in bed listening to the sound of the train whistle. It was peaceful and calming to me.

"She used to kneel by the bed to say her prayers. That was the first time I had ever seen anyone do that.

"I always felt like I was her favorite grandchild. I thought she was beautiful and she always had fun toys for us to play with. When we would go there, she would get them out of the top shelf of the cupboard and we would sit on the front room floor and play while she sat on the couch and watched us.

"She had snap dragons in the front yard. She showed me how to carefully put my fingers inside and make the flower open and shut like a little mouth that was talking. I thought that was so cool. I still love snap dragons and think of them as "Grandma's flowers."

"I always heard stories about how frugal she was. I have been told that money screamed as it left her fist because she was so tight with it. Funny, there are a few people who would say the same about me!

"She taught me to be honest. At the grocery store once, I found a little toy like you would get in the cracker jacks box or something. It was on the floor and I picked it up and was going to keep it. Grandma offered to buy me a doughnut if I would put it back.

"There were tons of stray cats that would hang around her house out back. She would throw scraps to them. Sometimes I would sit out there and sing to them, thinking that they would come to me if I did. They never came close.

"We used to play in an old barn that was behind her house. It was full of wheat. She showed me how to chew up the wheat germ like gum.

"The last time I remember Grandma being well was at Nicole's baptism. We were living in Texas at the time, but came to Payson for the baptism so family could be there. Grandma came. She had a beautiful silver gray wig that she was wearing then and I still thought she was so pretty.

"When she was old and sick, she stayed at my parents home for awhile. She was usually at Aunt Arlene's but sometimes mom and dad would take her for a month to give Arlene a break. She was on oxygen and really didn't do much but sit around and struggle to breathe. I do remember she would sit and fold the towels.

"When Grandma died, my mom helped clean out her house. She found an old fashioned cream pitcher with a slip of paper in it that said, "For Kathy Bellows". She called me and said, "Here's your treasure from Grandma." It made me feel good that she had left something just for me. It really is one of my treasures.

"I remember kneeling on the back of her couch looking into the kitchen while she made bread, waiting for the big gob of bread dough she would let me eat.

"I loved having tomato soup there because she always had the cute soup crackers. Tuna sandwiches always had butter on the bread instead of mayo too. I can't remember if I liked it better, or at all, I just remember it was a distinguishing thing about her house.

"I loved the little storybook she had where the mouse ended up living in a pretty little tea cup in the garbage dump, I think. I just loved the tea cup page.

"One time when we slept over, we jumped in her bed together, and when she turned the lights out, I remember she got out of bed and kneeled on the floor to say her prayers. I think it was the first time I'd ever seen anyone actually do that. It felt sort of sacred.

"I loved going back in the barns behind her house where that big barrel of gold fish was. (Why was it there?)

"And I remember her house always smelled like her house. A while ago, Nicole said to mom, "I love coming to your house 'cuz it always smells like a grandma house. It made me smell Grandma Bert's, just like I was there again. It was cool.

"She didn't care too much for Phil at first, but we went to her house on the Halloween that he wore my cheer leading outfit. He had pigtails with big ribbons . . . the whole shebang. She laughed and laughed, and told me, "He must really be OK."

"Phil remembers her trying to give us that big green chair when it broke, 'cuz she just knew he could fix it.

I've loved reading your stories!

I remember when my mom, Emma Lovina Drollinger Dennis, lived in Spanish Fork. This was probably around 1973 or so -- I would have been around 20 years old. She told me how pretty her Aunt Electa was, and we ended up going to see her. I think she lived in Payson. I wish I could remember more about her -- I just remember thinking that, yes, she really was pretty, considering she was old (in MY mind, anyway!) I guess I hadn't considered that anyone past the age of 30 could be considered pretty until then.

She had some silhouettes of girls on her wall that I admired and I thought her living room was nice. Had I realized I'd never see her again, I'd have taken better notes! You girls are so lucky to have known your grandparents!

I was raised in California and only got to visit Utah about once a year. I never got to meet my Grandpa Allen Drollinger (he passed away before I was born), but Grandma Nancy D. was such a sweetheart and I loved her! In her later years, as her dementia increased, her kids moved her things from her home and she would spend 1 month with each of her daughters. She usually called my mom "Ardy" or "Pearl".

Grandma made it a point to not get in anyone's way, even though we tried to convince her that she wasn't intruding. She must have thought the coast was clear one day when I saw her walk into the dining room. Her gait was unsteady due to terrible bunions and varicose veins. Also, she couldn't see without her thick glasses, and as she approached the curio cabinet (sans eyeglasses), she must have caught sight of her own reflection because she stopped in her tracks and said, "Oh, excuse me!" and trotted back into her room.

9193 I2831  Drollinger  Elias "Eli"  15 Jul 1802  2 Jan 1871  Elias is identified as "Eli" in his uncle William Drollinger's deed correction. Ref William's record for copy of document.

Matthias and his family was living near his parents at the time of the 1860 Census. Matthias was dwelling number 489 and his father was dwelling number 490.

Elias Drollinger was born 15 July 1802 in Guilford County, North Carolina and baptized 15 August 1802 in Friedens Church, Guilford County, North Carolina. The sponsors for Elias's baptism were his parents Friedrich and Maria Barbara Trollinger. He married Annie T. Izor 14 September 1823 in Preble County, Ohio. Elias died 2 January 1871 in Wabash County, Indiana. Annie, daughter of Peter and Elizabeth Izor, was born 16 December 1800 in Pennsylvania, and died 2 August 1874 in Wabash County, Indiana.
The illness and subsequent death of Elias's father Frederick thrust him into early responsibility and decision making. Although young men of his time and social status could be expected to start working at an early age, they were not usually the family spokesperson as Elias was. This seems to have influenced his penchant for seeking redress through the legal system. Elias appeared often in extant court records borrowing money, buying and selling land, seeking judgments, and generally, making sure he was heard. He married neighbor girl, Annie Izor, soon after his 21st birthday. Annie was born to Peter and Elizabeth Izor on 16 December 1800 in Pennsylvania. Like the Drollingers, the Izors were part of the German-speaking community that settled in the Miami Valley counties of Ohio. Where the Drollingers lived during their early marriage is unknown, but presumably they rented a farm somewhere in Preble County. They had four children before he purchased 80 acres near Eaton in Preble County described as bordering on the road between Eaton and Richmond, Indiana, on 22 June 1832.
In 1835 Elias took out a mortgage of $300 on this parcel. He paid it off, releasing the mortgage on 13 May 1837 only after the mortgager James Kilkenney took him to court, asking that the property be sold to pay him the mortgaged amount plus interest for two years. The suit was filed in March 1837 and discontinued in August 1837. On the same day the mortgage record was annotated as "released," Elias entered into an agreement with the State of Ohio to mortgage the property for $600. It is hard to understand how Elias had time to tend to his farm with all his court appearances because it was at this time he was in court regarding his Uncle William's property.
A clear picture of a feisty personality emerges in Elias's testimony regarding his Uncle William's estate. William died unmarried, without issue and without a will in 1824. William's siblings and their children were the heirs-at-law. Frederick had been dead 7 years, so Elias as the oldest child, a male who had reached his majority, took care of his immediate family's interests. Furthermore, because none of William's siblings lived in Preble County, Elias became the de facto spokesman for the extended family. He was embroiled in a dispute with Thomas Gilmore who purchased William's land from John L. Morkert, the estate administrator. The estate appraisers erred in the description of the property and the mistake went unnoticed for some time. Gilmore gave a lengthy description of what happened from his perspective, claiming to have purchased the land at auction for $520.50, which was $70.50 more than its appraised value. Since then, he had lived on the land, improved it, and paid the taxes. Now he said that William's "brothers and sisters and their children pretend to set up some claim to said premises and give it out in speeches that your orator has no title thereto and threaten to dispossess your orator " He also implied that the heirs were besmirching the administrator which was "contrary to equity and good conscience" He defended Morkert, saying he left Ohio totally insolvent and although he did not know where he went, Gilmore believed he was now dead.
In his deposition Elias agreed that Gilmore bought the property in question which was incorrectly described in the deed. He agreed that Gilmore purchased the property for the amount he said he did and that he had ever since lived on the land and made some improvements, "but not within a gunshot of the amount mentioned in his said bill of complaint." He tempers his obvious skepticism regarding Morkert, by saying he "is ignorant as to the manner of disposing of and applying the money received but is somewhat doubtful from the amount of property which he has been informed his uncle owned at his death whether the said Morkert faithfully applied the same to the payment of the said William's debts." Elias then spent some time explaining the family relations which are part of the earlier discussion in this paper establishing the identity of Elias's grandfather, John Drollinger.
It is after this that the crux of Elias's problem becomes clear. Except for the colorful remark about Gilmore not coming within a gunshot of spending what he claimed he did on improvements, Elias came across as calm and polite in his deposition. The rhetoric heated up when he returned to his accusation that Morkert mismanaged the estate. He said "William at the time of his death left sufficient property to pay all his debts that he justly owes and that his said personal property was so improvidently managed and wasted by the said Morkert that his said just debts are not all yet paid." The debt not paid is to Elias. Elias claimed that he had a "pact" with William to rent a piece of woodland within the 80 acres with the agreement that he would clear and fence it. He took possession, clearing about 14 acres before William died. Elias accused Morkert of turning him out long before the pact's termination time. Elias's deposition now worked up a full head of steam: "?and when this respondent presented to him his proven account for $60.00 his just claim against said William's estate, the said Morkert refused to pay to him any part of said account and instead of paying this respondent one cent for all his work, fraudulently as this respondent supposed squandered the money belonging to his uncle William's estate. This respondent denies that complainant has or ever had a good title to said premises." These remarks were made 4 November 1836. Subpoenas were issued to Elias's brothers Henry and Aaron Drollinger 24 March 1837 ordering them to appear in court or face a penalty of $1,000. The Sheriff reported that he served Aaron on 3 April, but Henry was not in his jurisdiction. The court ruled for the plaintiff on 9 August 1837 noting that the other defendants in the case had failed to appear.
The day before that decision came down was the day Elias paid his debt to Kilkenney and that suit was dismissed. Elias was taxed on his personal property in Preble County from 1828 through 1837. In 1838 the notation "moved" appears next to his name. Maybe after all these court appearances he decided to make a fresh start or maybe he remained in Preble because he was hoping to get some kind of settlement from his Uncle William's estate. Whatever the reason, he settled in Wabash County, Indiana, with his wife and six children. But he did not escape more legal wrangling. The Eaton Register reported December 3, 1840 the Drollingers (Elias and Anna) were non-residents of the state and were defendants in the case of the State of Ohio vs. Elias Drollinger, Anna Drollinger, and Henry Bishop regarding the foreclosure of a mortgage on the S 1/2 of the NW 1/4 of section 17 township 8, range 2 in Preble County. This time Elias let the land go. The sheriff auctioned it off for $1,067, $500 of which went to pay the mortgage.
Although his family is enumerated on the 1840 census in Wabash, he doesn't seem to have purchased land until 1842 when he bought just under 203 acres. He paid $600 and true to form, within two months he had borrowed against the farm. Ironically, T. B. Helm in his opus provided a list of 13 people who were in the well-to-do class of the small town of Roann because of their 1841 assessments. Elias Drollinger at $1,204 is among them. Roann is described as "a bright thriving town. Being mostly newly built it lacks the sad and uncouth signs of dilapidated buildings." Elias and Annie did receive an infusion of cash in 1851 when they sold Annie's 1/5 share of her deceased father's farm in Preble County.
Certainly Elias was primarily occupied with his farm. He raised corn and wheat, crops typical in that time and place, as well as keeping enough animals to be useful on the farm for food and work. In 1843 he acquired animals when a judgment went against Joseph Clark for whom Elias had been a security. Clark described the animals as "a brown mare with a large blazed face (her mane is fly) and 1 yoke of oxen, one red, one a brindle color; one I call by the name of Bill, one John." Elias's 1871estate inventory lists a 2 horses and one of the accounts his administrator collected was for stud fees from a horse in Illinois. There was corn in the crib and wheat in the field, plus his share of the "rent wheat." The list of possessions in the inventory is modest but he did have an escapement watch (a pocket watch) and an 8-day clock. Annie selected a number of items including the rifle, much of the furniture, such as 3 beds and bedding, 6 chairs, and the bureaus, as well as the crops on hand, the chickens and pigs, two heifers and the geese. She did not want the farm implements, nor the spinning wheel. At 71 she had probably experienced all the hard labor she wanted to and spun enough wool to gnarl her fingers.
Not surprisingly, Elias's probate records show that he died owing many small debts. Martin, the youngest child of Annie and Elias, was appointed administrator and he spent the next four years settling his father and mother's affairs. There was not enough cash to pay the debts and give his mother her dower in the property. His father had sold off half the farm in 1858, but at least there was no mortgage pending on the rest. Martin reported to the court that Annie offered to take out a mortgage on her dower to pay off the debts. She no doubt knew that Elias had solved cash flow problems that way. In the end, the land had to be sold to pay the debts and to give the Annie her share. By the time Elias's estate was settled in 1875, Annie had been gone for a year, having died on 2 August 1874 and her share of the estate, $203.70, was divided among the heirs named in her will.
One supposes that Martin had insisted Annie make a will having been mired for months in his father's estate problems. In December 1872 she did, leaving everything to be divided among her three children Mathias Drollinger, Diannah Coorl, and Martin V. Drollinger. There was also an intriguing bequest: "that Franklin Brittin if he should remain in my family until he is 21 years old to have a horse, saddle and bridle." Who was Frank Brittin and what was his relation to this family? (notes on this chap in Kay's 2003 disertation)
Elias and Annie rest in Roann's Reed Cemetery along with many others of their extended family. The cemetery borders the Eel River adjacent to the charming covered bridge that spans the river. The bridge was constructed in 1872, after Elias's death, but 2 years before Annie's. Fire twice destroyed the bridge in 1877, but it was rebuilt and carried traffic continuously until it was badly damaged by the next fire in 1992. This time the rebuild included a sprinkler system. Because the main crossing of the Eel for this area moved, the ambiance of the quiet cemetery with the historical bridge has been restored to an earlier era. Kay Germain Ingalls 2003

9200 I16726  Drollinger  Elisabeth  1 Jan 1800  15 Sep 1854  We know Peter Drollinger of Franconia (now Philadelphia) spelled his name as Drollinger. His son Andreas or Andrew was a Drollinger who was variously was recorded as Trollinger and signed his name to the probate of Peter record as Trollinger. His marriage record was as Drollinger. Andrew's children found in the records of St Michael's Evangelical Luthern Church Germantown (also now part of Philadelphia) went to spelling the surname drollinger, Trollinger and Trullinger. This is confusing to say the least and future researchers need to be aware of this spelling quirk.  tree1
