KALER — It appears there was a gent named Samuel P. KALER who did a bit of writing while in Whitley County. I think one of his works was a history of the county. I have in my possession two other works of his "The Kalers" 1887 and "A Sketch of the Kaler Family for Three Hundred Years" 1899. I also have a number of KALER family photographs from the late 1800?s. Samuel P. KALER is a first cousin three time removed and I am wondering if there might be anyone in this area interested in sharing information on that line or collateral lines. (7/2
