Tribute to Nicholas OHMER
The Dayton and Montgomery County Public Library in Ohio had in it's archives, a scrapbook belonging to James O. Arnold, which contained a touching tribute to Nicholas OHMER. This tribute was written by the Montgomery County Horticultural Society, which he himself formed some 40 years prior to his death. Also included is a poem about Nicholas Ohmer, and a personal history.

Naturalization Record of Tobias Ambre OHMER
Found in the vault of the Assumption Parish Courthouse in Napoleonville, LA, this paper from 1892 describes my 3rd Great Grandfather's intention to become a citizen of the United States of America.

Mortgage Papers of John Christen, son in law of Tobias Ambre OHMER
Okay, I'm not sure WHAT these papers mean, but there are about 10 or 15 other ones listed in some books labeled "Chattel Mortgages." It seems that John Christen owned a sawmill, and bought the lumber rights to several tracts of land in and around Napoleonville. The land described here is believed to be the same land that my father continues to pay taxes on. Anyone understand this legal gobbledygook? I sure DON'T!
