Reference from 1882's "A History and Biographical Cyclopaedia of Butler County Ohio":

LAGETROST, HAFERTEPEN (Hanover Twp., p. 447)
John Theodore LAGETROST was born in Dec, 1832, in Germany. He was married to Mary HAFERTEPEN in 1852, & had 10 children. John was born May 2, 1853; Minnie, Dec 6, 1855; Henry, Jan 27, 1858; Lizzie, Jan 11, 1860; Caroline, Jun 24, 1862; Anthony, Sep 25, 1864; Benjamin, Oct 20, 1866; Annie, Dec 21, 1868; Rosa, Dec 30, 1870; Joseph, Jan 14, 1873. The oldest lives in Minster, Auglaize Co., (OH), & the rest in this county. Mr. LAGETROST was a farmer. He died Jan 15, 1873, & since that time the widow & her children have carried on the farm.

Question: I'm new to geneaology...how does one find out how long a relative -- in this case, my great-grandfather -- lived in the area?

THANKS

and for those taking a break from research, I submit the following....


Dead Whatever


We sift the streambed's squishy

acres, absorbing what is
sometimes known, what's guessed

at; what lingers in a long refrain;
what sings our story:

the sum of our remembered past;
notes of our futility; talk

in rich, reductive measures. What's
not resisted pushes down. We

live as ably as we can, too many
cures are badly counted.

Worlds dismissed are restless tomes,
fumes we dance a lung across.
