The Ben Droesch Family was established on October 9, 1946, upon the marriage of Bernard August ("Ben") Droesch of Chickasaw, Ohio, and Lucille Marcella Ranly, of Cassella, Ohio. Ben lived in the Chickasaw area his entire life and Lucille still today lives on family farmland.
Ben and Lucille had six children, five of whom grew to adulthood and married. The only son, Donald, lives on the family homestead -- the home where Ben was born. Helen (Uhlenhake), Mary (Osterholt) and Thelma (Topp) live within ten miles of home. Jane (Weide) resides in Worthington, Ohio.
The family has grown to include sixteen grandchildren,eighteen great-grandchildren, and growing! Welcome to our family's Tribal Pages!
Note: This site was updated from the backup file of the Peter Ranly Tribal Pages dated August 12, 2009. From that point forward, I will not necessarily update this site for changes to the extended Peter Ranly family. Those changes can be accessed from the Peter Ranly site.
