  c1857 BIR,MG: Book of Biographies pg 535: Mr Gansel md 2nd wife, Mary Anman, 9 children: Sarah Matilda, Clementine D, James, John, Charles D, Carrie, Wm, Geo L, Jessie. Res of Laporte. Md Effie Swicher 1860-1870 censuses: Wm 3/PA, Wm 13/PA Nov 1999 e-mail from Craig Gansell: My great grandfather, Will or Bill as he was known. He was known to be as good a ventriloquist as George was mathematician. He also had a good rapport with his dogs as did my grandfather, Louis. (I guess my grandmother used to chide him with "you're just like old Bill Gansell, half dog!") Anyway, old Bill apparently wasn't nearly as good at math as George, because in 1888 he claimed to be 27, getting married to my 16 yr old great grandmother, Mary Meracle, and 9 years later in 1897 he said he was 37 when he married 18 year old Effie Swisher.
