Trullinger, Loren
Got a SUPER e-mail from a gal who had found Loren Trullinger's picture. She sent me a copy for the GenWeb page though - thanks sooo much Shelley -- see her overview of Loren at end. His parents were from Fountain County! kbz :)
-- I've "rescued" an old photograph of Loren TRULLINGER which was taken > at the Eastman Studio in Portland, OR. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Loren likely in his teens or 20's at the time. Based on limited research and thanks to the help of a TRULLINGER Family Researcher, I've gathered the following additional information regarding Loren and his family:
Loren or Loran Blodget or Blodgett TRULLINGER was b. 2 Jan 1869 in Middle Fork Township, Ringgold Co., IA to parents Milton Stone or Stonewall or Stonewell TRULLINGER (b. 18 May 1830 in Fountain Co. IN- d. 3 Jun 1907 in Molalla, OR) and Maria or Mariah or Marian Jane HAMPTON (b. 6 Mar 1843 in Fountain Co., IN-d. 1921 in Molalla, OR).
Loren was one of 9 children born to this couple including, Reuben Wade; Loren Blodget; Elenor "Ellen"; John Bunyon or Bunyan; Marietta "Etta" Beatrice; Irvin or Irving or Erwin or Ervin; Washington; and Arcalia or Arcadia TRULLINGER all born between 1867 and 1883.
