193. Joseph G.6 Anspach (Jacob5, John4, Johan Jacob3, Johan George2, Johannes Balthasar1, Hans JacobA, Hans HenrichB, JacobC, JacobD, JacobE, AmbrosiusF) was born in Decatur County, Indiana November 23, 1837. Joseph died May 28, 1868 in Decatur Co.,IN, at 30 years of age. His body was interred May 30, 1868 in Chapel Hill Cem.,Decatur Co.,IN, Chapel Hill.
He married Elizabeth Jane Guess in Decatur Co.,IN., July 16, 1857.(262) Jane was born in Decatur Co., IN February 22, 1842.(263) She was the daughter of Nathaniel Guess. She married
Fredrick Teitsort in Decatur Co.,IN, July 25, 1868.(264) Jane died April 7, 1929 at 87 years of age. Jane was listed as the head of a
family on the 1880 Census in Adams Twp.,Decatur Co.,IN.(265) Joseph G. Anspach (a descendant of the original) wrote the booklet used for this branch of
Anspach genealogy.
This is the obituary that ran in the Greensburg Standard newspaper June 4, 1868.
Joseph G. Anspach and Elizabeth Jane Guess had the following children:
Milford Items.
Milford, IND, June 1st 1868
Our heretofore quiet neighborhood seems to be visited, just at present, with a series of accidents. One citizen is scarcely laid under the "clods of the valley," caused by drowning, before we are again shocked by the death of another, caused by the accidental discharge of a gun in his own hands.
On the 27th ult., Mr. Joseph Anspach took his loaded gun and went to James Sumpter's Blacksmith shop: for the purpose of repairing one of the sights. While there, he concluded to cut two or three inches off the end of the barrel, and for this purpose, laid the gun on the anvil, took a cold chisel, and had almost accomplished his pupose, when it went off, lodging the contents in his bowels wounding him so severely that he died in about twelve hours.
It is very strange that men after almost daily reading in the papers of accidents of this kind, will persist in being careless in handling fire arms. It is hard for a person to believe that a man in his right mind would undertake to cut off a gun barrel with a cold chisel, while it was loaded, and a cap on the tube, standing right in front of it; but, nevertheless, it is true in this case, hurrying another human being into eternity, in the prime of life and making one more widow and five orphans.

Sarah J. Anspach was born in IN about 1860.(266) Sarah died after 1880. She married Joseph Chandler in
Decatur Co.,IN, August 17, 1876.(267)
Joseph was born before 1860.

Mary M. (Dora) Anspach was born in St. Paul, Indiana September 6, 1862. Mary died October 19, 1943
in St. Paul, Indiana, at 81 years of age. She married Alfred H. Mount in IN, February 26,
1880.(268) Alfred was born June 5, 1852.
Alfred died February 23, 1935 at 82 years of age. (See Alfred H. Mount for the continuation of
this line.) Michael Spaulding has a Mary M. Anspach as marrying Alfred Mount. But Chapter 6, Anspachs & Lefflers shows her name as Dora. On
the 1880 census she is listed in her mother's household, but after her husband, as Dora age 17 daughter (to Jane). So I think ALL of
Joseph's children must have had more than one middle name, as George Benjamin McClelland Anspach did.
