I don't have alot of information on them but do know that the family lived in Duvall, Ohio for many years and the old farmhouse that the children grew up in is still standing. There is still much more research to be done. I believe that most of the immediate family is buried at Harrison Twp. Cemetery in South Bloomfield, Ohio.

William Henry Whitesell married Agnes Vagnier on February 23, 1909 at Holy Family Church in Columbus, Ohio.They had 3 children together.

Mary Elizabeth (Marie) Whitesell ~ born January 5, 1910 ~ died July 21, 1980 in Columbus, Ohio and is buried at St. Joseph Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio.

William Henry (Bill) Whitesell Jr. ~ born August 16, 1914 ~ died March 4, 1989 in West Jefferson, Ohio and is buried at Sunset Cemetery in Galloway, Ohio.

Agnes Loretta Whitesell ~ born March 15, 1920 ~ died August 26, 2006 in Columbus, Ohio.

Whitesell Children
Marie - Agnes - Bill

The Whitesell family lived in Madison County, Ohio  up until Agnes (Vagnier) Whitesell died in 1933 leaving behind her husband and 3 children. Agnes Loretta (my mother) was placed in St. Vincent Orphanage in Columbus, Ohio, Marie and Bill were old enough to take care of themselves. This part of our history is somehow lost, I have been doing research for several years now and it is still all a big mystery to me. If anyone has stories or information, please comment.
