**************************************

Mary Tintsman, daughter of Mark and Susan Tintsman was born in West Moreland Co, Pa, Jan 18, 1831, and passed to her reward Dec 8th, 1910, aged 79 years, 10 months and 20 days.

On January 4th, 1850, she was married to John W Parcell near Shanesville, Ohio.

To this union were born six children, three sons and three daughters. One son, and eldest, after suffering for six months preceded mother in death, March 29, 1876. After lying on a bed of affliction and for one and one-half years, Father preceded mother in death, July 30, 1877.

Thus she was left to fight the battles of life alone, but yet not alone for she had Jesus as her guide and her helper, who did not forsake her in life nor in the hour of death.

Besides leaving her five children there are still living two brothers Henry Tintsman aged 84 years; Albert Tintsman aged 69 years, and one sister, Catherine McCoy aged 82 years. Her father (**mother**) died in 1885, aged 82 years.

On Sunday before she passed away she asked all her children to meet her in Heaven, which they promised to do. Not satisfied with this, she made the request that her grand children, who were not present, should also be told to meet her in Heaven. She suffered much but through it all she said she was happy and was just waiting for Jesus to come and take her home. She had a peaceful death. Although it is very hard to part with mother we can rejoice that she has been relieved from her suffering and gone to eternal reward.

*** her mother ...

Susannah Bauer Tinstman

Susannah Bauer, daughter of Samuel Z Bauer, married Mark Tinstman of Westmoreland County, Pa. Around 1830, they established a home near Shanesville, Ohio, and operated a flour mill there for 15 years.

They raised 8 children to maturity. Their names were Barbara Heller, Samuel, Henry, Catherine McCoy, Mary Parcell, John, Joseph and Albert.

In 1847, Mark sold out in Tuscarawas County and bought a farm near Wooster, Ohio; but in 1850, he and Susannah for the second time in their married life followed the trail west. This time they migrated to Elkhart County, Ind, accompanied by Mark's mother and their three youngest boys. It required three weeks to reach their destination.

Their eldest son, Samuel, had been a soldier in the Mexican War, had ruined his health and died three months after his honorable discharge. There was a land warrant, granted him by the government for his army service, which Mark inherited and used to secure a farm in Elkhart County. The tract of land on which he located was 3 miles west and 2 miles north of Nappanee, and contained 150 acres. He put up a log cabin and being a practical millman he soon secured a place in the Hawks Mill at Waterford. A year later he sold this government land and bought another tract in Locke Twp, which the three boys cleared and farmed until the time of the Civil War. At that time all three sons enlisted, and since Mark was still working in the mill he was forced to sell his farm.

He and Susannah located for a short time in Harrison Twp, but finally they bought 40 acres in the village of Locke, near their children, where Mark found employment in the grist mill and where they spent their declining years. Both lived to be 82 years of age and are buried in the South Union Cemetery near Locke.

The natives of Locke Twp, always said that Mark and Susannah were honest and upright folks who never made much money but who never asked a penny from anyone. Susannah left a will probated in 1886, leaving her estate
of $598.50 to be divided among her children and grandchildren.

One of their sons, John, became a prominent citizen in Locke Twp. Like his father he was a miller and in 1878, became part owner of the one first-class grist and flour mill in that locality. He married Sinah Platter and had 11 children.

Another son Albert lived for 15 years in South Bend, spent 10 years in Arkansas and finally came back to Elkhart County in 1892. He settled in Nappanee, where he worked in a furniture factory until he was 75 years of age. He was a skilled worker, an artist in his special field which was wood turning. He was married twice, first to Nancy Boyer who gave him one daughter and second to Parlia McGowen who presented him with two more girls.

His date of death and place of burial are unknown.
