Silas Summey is the son of John Summey and Lucinda Plumb who lived around Shipshewana, Indiana. John's parents were John Summey and Susannah Freeman, also from that area. Silas had two wifes, the first was Jane L. who died at the age of 31 yrs and 7 months also Shipshewana and she is buried near there. They had 4 children; Bertha, John, Darwin and Minnie. Bertha died as a infant, Minnie died at the age of 14. John married Grace Hoke and they are buried in the West Goshen cemetery, in Goshen, Indiana. Darwin married Nina Conkle. They had 3 children Harold and Elnora who died as infants and they also had Gladys Minniebelle Summey who married Elton Hirschy and they had 4 sons. After the death of his wife Jane L. Silas married again, this time to a lady by the name of Andelena. I do not know if they had children or not. They are buried in the Oakridge cemetery, in Goshen, Indiana.
