      JOHN B. GONSER
      John B. Gonser was born January 1, 1815, in Tuscarawas Co. Ohio. His father was David Gonser (June 31 1790-April 26, 1856) and his mother was Catherine Miller (September 18, 1795-January 17, 1879). Both parents are buried in Fairfield Center Cemetery, DeKalb Co., Indiana. John's father was drafted into the U.S. service and served as a soldier in the War of 1812 against Great Britain.
