Frederick Menges, of German nationality was born in 1844 and emigrated to this 
country, settling in Floyd Co., Ind., in 1865. His parents, Andrew and Kate 
(Russe) 

Menges, have both long ago passed away. December, 1865, he was married in this 
county to Susan Lembathus who is of same nativity as her husband, born in 
1844. Her 

father, George Lembathus is deceased, but her mother is still spared. They 
have had three children, Katie, Anna and George. He married, secondly, March, 
1877, in this 

county, Sarah McKown, daughter of Thornton McKown. Of this union were born 
four children – Emma, Matilda, Theodore and Frances. Comrade Menges was 
engaged in 

farming when the late war broke out and was at that time 18 years old; having 
learned to love the country of his adoption, he enrolled, in the summer of 
1862 at Louisville, 

Ky., as a private in Co. C., 34th Ky. V.I.  While in service, he contracted 
rheumatism and lung trouble; he was treated in field hospital for same a short 
time. He took part in 

all the engagements incident to his command and was honorably discharged in 
the summer of 1865 at Knoxville, Tenn. His wife’s brother, Lafayette McKown 
served in the 

Union army during the late war. Our subject may be addressed at Greenville, 
Ind., near which place he is at present engaged in farming.

Additional Comments:
I came across the photocopied pages in a file at the public
library in New Albany. I have never been able to locate an
original copy of the book.
