C. Bernard (Barney) Simmers was born 17 JAN 1827 in Franklin CO. PA. He served in CO. E 53rd Regt. Ohio Infantry Vol. as Division Teamster , from Sep 1861 - Nov 1864. He married Lydia E.(A.?) Powell in Armstrong CO. PA in 1851. They lived in Jackson CO Ohio in 1860. After the war they moved to Paulding CO Ohio.(Antwerp area). Lydia died in 1889. Barney lived for some amount of time at the State Soldiers Home in Erie CO. Ohio. They are both buried in Paulding CO. Ohio.
Their children were:
John M. b. 1857
Anna E. b. 1856 *my line
Lucy
Lydia b. 1868
Florence May b. 1877
Julia Ann b. 1870
Sherman T. b. 1870?
William S. b. 1875
I have no further info. on Barney's parents or that of
his wife. The was at least one other Simmers in
Barney's Civil War Unit; Andrew,and possibly a Peter
Simmers as well, but I have not found a connection.
Would love to make contact with others researching
Pennsylvania Simmers!
Sincerely,
