Florence (MINICH) HOPKINS is fibbing about her age, big time (she's 50, not 38); she has also fibbed as to her years married (actually 25).  Nicholas made the crossing in 1846, not 1850.

NICHOLAS MINICH, hatter, furrier and millinery, Massillon, was born in Rhine-Prussia, Dec. 6, 1821, the youngest of a family of four children, two sons and two daughters, born to Adam and Margaret (Ault) Minich, both of whom died when our subject was young, 2½ years when his mother died, 9 when his father died, May 12, 1846; left Europe May 27, setting sail from Havre, and arriving in New York July 3; stayed there two years; his brother came several years previous; he was two years in Texas fighting Indians; afterward joined the regular army; was eleven years a United States soldier, and was killed at the storming of Vera Cruz.  Our subject learned the furrier's trade before leaving the old country; when he arrived in the United States he only had $3; first worked at the cap business, and then at the furrier's trade.  In the fall of 1848, he came to Massillon; was first with Hiram Wellman, in the cap business, and after six months bought him out, and started in the manufacture of hats, caps, furs and gloves, on Erie street, which lasted two years, when he removed to Main street, but his place was burned out the fall after he started, when he moved to No. 45 Main street, about 1851, where he has continued ever since.  In 1868, he erected the building he now owns, 30x65 feet, which cost about $15,000.  July 4, 1849, he was married to Elizabeth Chambers, born in Carroll Co., Ohio, in 1824, daughter of James and Sarah (Berk) Chambers, he of Maryland, she of Pennslyvania.  Had six children:  Flora, Mrs. David Hopkins, Grand Rapids; Mary, Mrs. William Perong, Cleveland; William James, Frank H., Charles O. and Charles, 2d, who died respectively at 5 years and 7 months and 11 months.  Mr. Minich is a member of the English Christ's Church; wife of the Disciples' Church.

p. 976

James Chambers, deceased, was born in Loudoun County, Va., near Harper's Ferry, Sept. 3, 1787, a son of William Chambers, also a native of Virginia, of English descent.  He was married in 1811 to Sarah Barrack and soon after moved to Jefferson County, Ohio, and settled in the woods with Indians and wild animals for neighbors.  Subsequently he moved to Carroll County, Ohio, where he followed farming till the fall of 1844 when he came to De Kalb County and settled on section 15, Wilmington Township, making another home in the woods where he lived till Sept. 15, 1860.  His wife died July 2, 1881.  They were members of the Methodist Episcopal church.  They had a family of eleven children, seven of whom are living — Lucinda, Catherine, Melinda, Robert, Mary, James and William.  Lucinda is the widow of Samuel Hankins, and has had four children, three living.  Melinda married A.T. Packer, and has had seven children; five are living.  James married Sarah Griffith.  One daughter, Delilah, who died in 1864, was the wife of T.T. McCurdy.  Another daughter, Elizabeth, died Jan. 17, 1885.  She was the wife of Nicholas Minich, of Massillon, Ohio, and

p. 977

had six children, four of whom are living. Robert, William, Catherine and Mary live on the old homestead which contains 105 acres of valuable land.

Some have mis-read the last sentence of this sketch to mean that Elizabeth's four surviving children were "Robert, William, Catherine and Mary," but this sentence refers to four of Elizabeth's siblings, not her  children.
