  Notes	"Benjamin Franklin Zentmyer (Frank) and his brother William went from Vermillion Illinois to Kentucky by oxen, pulling a saw mill across the frozen Ohio River in the winter of 1883-1884. They settled near Manitou, Kentucky. Bill and his family lived in Madisonville and their younger brother Thomas Jefferson Zentmyer worked on a railroad near St Louis and fell off the train and was killed. Don't think he ever married. After Elena died, Frank sold the sawmill and went West. He traveled and worked as a sawyer and a machinist, and worked in Colorado, Hawaii, California, and Washington. Uncle Bill and Aunt Kasie looked after the children who were not married. They had a very hard time. Thanks again!" Charlotte Gayle Zentmyer Price Effingham, Illinois
