(submitted by Ruth Dunham and Linda Koolen)
There is very little information about the Detwilers. The following is taken from a photograph and cemetery records. There is no evidence to indicate these are all siblings, but it appears that Dave, Eli, Sam and Josh may be, and that John may be their father.
John Detwiler was born in 1831 and died in 1901.
Henry Detwiler (1855 - 1947) is buried in Arkona Cemetery.
Dave Detwiler was born in 1859 and died in 1910.
Eli Detwiler was born in 1862 and died in 1935.
Rachel Detwiler (1868 - 1948) married Herbert Clyde Benedict. They raised seven children. Rachel and Herbert are buried in Arkona Cemetery.
Josh Detwiler was born in 1870 and died in 1966.
