Fianna Druckenbrod, my 2nd great grandma on RootsMagic tree.

Fianna was born in Stark County, Ohio the 2nd of 12 kids of Samuel and Elizabeth Bair Druckenbrod. Fianna grew up in Stark, where her parents’ families were pioneers, and well known: Bair, Harter, Druckenbrod, Malone. At age 16 in 1870 Fiana lived with her grandparents George and Margaret Malone Bair, she’s listed as a ‘servant’ on the census.

On September 5, 1857 Fianna married William Miller, also from a family of pioneers and well known in Stark, Ohio but recently moved to Bremer County, Iowa. William and Fianna were married in Stark, then moved to Bremer County. They farmed and had 7 kids. Fianna and her father in law Peter Miller would travel to Stark, Ohio in the summers for their family reunions. By 1905 Fianna and William moved to Amery, Wisconsin near their grown sons Frank and Sam. Fianna died in 1923 and is buried in Andrews Cemetery outside Waverly about 3 miles east of Cedar Bend County Park and the Cedar River, right in between Horton and Waverly, Iowa.

Fianna had a brother Ivy Druckenbrod who married Elta and they had a son Faber Druckenbrod. Elta and Faber Druckenbrod, with Faber’s finance Grace, all from Stark, Ohio visited Greene, Iowa on September 29, 1939. In Greene, the Druckenbrods stayed with Fianna’s daughter Lola and her husband Willam Miller. Lola and William’s son Faber and his wife Gladys Cable Miller would have visited with their Druckenbrod relatives, probably a dinner on Friday night.
