Notizen bei Henry Gerhart (Heinrich Gerhard) BEHRMAN

According to the 1880 census for Jackson township, Bartholomew County, Indiana:

 

Henry was listed under the Tobrocke, Wm. J. family. According to Betty Ann Behrman Ryle, Mr. Tobrocke was a native of Germany and married Anna Marie Catharine Kreinhagen, who was a member of White Creek St. John's Methodist Church. The Tobrockes purchased more than 640 acres of land in the Waymansville area and owned the sawmill. Henry Behrman, 23, worked in the saw mill and lived in the Tobrocke home. According to Melvin Behrman, Mr. Tobrocke paid for Herman and Henry's fare over here from Germany. He thinks that Herman and Henry worked for Mr. Tobrocke to pay off the fare. Melvin said that Herman and Henry's dad didn't make it over to the USA, but their mother did.

 

Melvin Behrman, Columbus, Indiana, is a descendant of Henry Behrman and therefore a distant cousin to my dad. Melvin and dad's grandfathers were brothers. According to Melvin, Henry came to America with his mother and brother, when Henry was eleven years old. Mary Hartman said Henry was a nice-looking man and all the girls were crazy about him.

 

Bertha Hehman in Columbus wrote me and said the following: The Henry Behrman family and Herman Behrman family never associated in Waymansville, Indiana. She thought it was probably a religious conflict. Their mother was a strict Lutheran and lived in Herman's home, and he was Lutheran. Henry lived with the Tobrocke family and went to their church, which was the White Creek Methodist Church. Mr. Tobrocke was the biggest employer in or near Waymansville. He also had a flour mill and saw mill. Henry lived with Tobrocke's family (and worked for him in the sawmill) when the 1880 census was taken. Henry married a Methodist girl and went to her church. Henry died when he was 45 years old. According to Melvin Behrman, Henry died as a result of a stomach ailment. He was buried in White Creek Methodist cemetery.

 

According to Victor Behrman, all the Behrmans that settled in Waymansville came from Germany as Lutherans. One day a circuit rider came to the area to hold a tent meeting. Henry Gerhart went to the tent meeting and was so impressed with what the man said and preached, he decided he was going to start his own church and he persuaded several other people in the area to join his church. He donated the land where the church was built which was on land next to where he lived. Victor said the house where Henry lived is still standing next to the White Creek Methodist Church. The church started out with a different name, like Unitarian Methodist, and later became known as just Methodist. According to Melvin, Henry served in almost all offices of the church. The rest of the family was upset with Henry's actions and that is why they didn't associate with each other.

 

In POB (Probate Order Book) M2, p. 300, his will was admitted to probate. On p. 312, his wife Mary files to be administrator. On p. 424, Mary was appointed administrator. On p. 440, Mary filed report of monetary appraisement and these children were listed: Edwin L., Edith M., Alfred W., Franklin H., and Walter. In POB N2, p. 399, there is a copy of the probate of Henry G's estate.
