NOTE: Military Stone is engraved Christian DURLAR instead of DURLER.
Per Village of Millersburg Office Marty Grice, 330-674-1886, Christian Durler is noted in the book as being interred 9/22/1891, Company F 3rd OH Infantry Regular Army, Mexican War. Grave description in Soldier's Lot is Section A Lot 12. Interment Book also notes died at age 66 which would agree with the military and census records indicating he was born around 1825 in Switzerland.
NOTE: There is another Christian Durler in Ohio during this same time period. In Williams County, Christian Durler b-1818 PA, married to Mary Hemminger in Wood County, d-before Sep 1890 when his wife made a Widow's Pension Claim. The Williams County Christian Durler served in Company ? 10th Regiment. This note hopefully will eliminate any confusion for future researchers.
Per email 5/26/2011 from Marty Grice: Christian Durler along with 5 other old soldiers now have stones provided by a local organization headed by Forrest Chanay of Killbuck, OH. A special thanks to Forrest and all who worked on this project to provide Stones for our ancestors.
**WHAT WE KNOW - CHRISTIAN DURLER**
1825-1826 BIRTH: Per the Cemetery Record, US Army Military Records, and Census Records, Christian was born about 1825 in Switzerland (Berne). The 1850 Census at Fort Defiance, New Mexico Territory notes Christian DURLOR US Dragoones Age 25 Switzerland, 2nd Sgt; The 1880 Census Millersburg OH notes Christian DURLER age 54 b-Berne as well as Father and Mother (who we have not been able to identify).

October 1850 Fort Defiance New Mexico Territory: Christian DURLOR listed with the US Dragoones age 25 b-Switzerland, 2nd Sgt
August 1852: Mustered out at Fort Defiance NM at end of term. OP or Reupped see 1890 Vet Schedule Below.

June 1880 Census Millersburg OH F262: Christian age 54 born Berne (father and mother also noted as born Berne), stonemason with wife Martha E age 30 b-OH (parents born PA).

September 1891 DEATH: US Vets Gravesite Locator and Cemetery Records note that Christian DURLAR buried Oak Hill Cemetery in Soldier's Lot A Section A Lot 12 on September 22, 1891 at age 66 having served in Company F 3rd OH Regular Army Mexican War.
December 1891: Widow Pension Filed by Martha E (Springs) Durler on 12/12/1891 Application 505097. Note, no certificate noted on record.
June 1895: Christian's widow Martha marries another Veterans from Millersburg, Phillip Straits on 6/18/1895 at Millersburg. We find them both in the 1900 and 1910 Census. Phillip Straits Dies in May 1919. Martha files for Pension and is found in 1920 Census still in Millersburg. In 1930 Martha, now 83 is living in Toledo, OH with step-son Edward Straits' family.
Martha E Spring Durler Straits died March 25, 1935 at the age of 854m20d at 347 Willard Ave, Toledo OH at the home of her son-in-law Edward Straits. She was buried March 28, 1935 at Willow Cemetery in Toledo. She was born November 4, 1849 in Millersburg, the daughter of John Spring.
OTHER INFO: It may just be a coincidence, but Alexander Durler and his wife Catharine Babcock Durler are buried in Section A 1/2 Lot 12 in close proximity to Christian's grave. Alexander Durler's Death Certificate notes that Harvey Durler is his father...and therefore we do not believe Christian had any known children...however, possibly he is the uncle to Alexander. We will continue to look for the parentage of Christian Durler...hoping to locate an obituary or death notice from 1891 that would provide some information...STILL LOOKING. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO HELP!!!!
****** END OF WHAT WE KNOW********
A special thanks to Marty Grice who located the burial of Christian Durler as well as other members of his family and then went to the cemetery to provide photo's for the memorials, which I've posted and captioned with credit to her.
Would appreciate any additional information about Christian Durler and his family. This is not my direct family, but hoping to eventually find a connection since my DURLER Family came from Germany through Ohio and on to Kansas.
