Reams in Indiana & Ohio

All of these "Indiana Reams" were in Allen County, in and around Ft. Wayne. I don't know if any of it will help--Good luck!
My great grandfather, Pearl William Ream, was the son of William Oscar Ream (1850-1933) and Mercy Magdalene (Jackson) Ream (1851-1939), who had several other sons, including Jesse E. Ream (1877-1949) and William P. Ream (1880-?).
Pearl William, or "P.W.", was born in 1879, and lived in Ft. Wayne, Indiana--which is about 20 minutes from the Indiana-Ohio border. He married Grace Odessa Tonkel in 1906, and died in 1955. There were, by the way, three marriages between the Tonkels and Reams between 1904 and 1906. My grandfather, Morris Jay Ream was born in 1909. He married Cleo Jeanette (Shaffer) Ream in Ft. Wayne in 1930. Their two children, Carol Mae (Ream) Warner and Jerry Ray Ream (my father) still live in the Ft. Wayne area.

This has more information than your last posting, including that he and Mary had 9 children.
