A biosketch of grand-daughter Catherine Bare reports [35]:

On October 12, 1882, Mr. Davidhizar married Miss Catherine Bare. She was born in Union Township, a daughter of Noah Bare and a granddaughter of John Bare, who was a native of Virginia and moved from that state to Ohio, becoming an early settler in Columbiana County, where he spent the rest of his days as a farmer. John Bare married Miss Wenger. Noah Bare, who was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, March 18, 1836, grew up in Eastern Ohio, and in 1864 started from Columbiana County to Elkhart County, Indiana, locating in Union Township where he bought eighty acres, the west half of the southwest quarter of section 15. All that land at that time was covered with a heavy growth of timber. In a small clearing he erected a log house, and it was in that home that Mrs. Davidhizar was born, and thus both she and her husband are products of the old and familiar type of pioneer homestead. Later Noah Bare bought a small frame house which he moved onto his land, and by additions and remodeling he made it a very comfortable habitation. He also erected a frame barn, and in the meantime the greater part of his land having been cleared he was on a fair way to prosperity. With all this substantial achievement to his credit he spent his last years in comfort and peace and died January 31, 1913. Noah Bare married Hannah Nold, who was born in Mahoning County, Ohio, December 4, 1841, a daughter of John Nold, a native of Pennsylvania and a granddaughter of Jacob Nold, who was also a native of Pennsylvania and was not only a farmer but also a preacher in the Mennonite Church. Mr. Nold moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio and spent his last years in Mahoning County. John Nold grew up on a farm, and on moving to Ohio settled near the line between Mahoning and Columbiana counties, and followed farming on his own land there until his death when about seventy-four years of age. John Nold married Hannah Wisler, who was born in Pennsylvania, a daughter of Christian and Susan (Holdeman) Wisler, natives of Pennsylvania and of German ancestry. Mrs. John Nold died at the age of seventy years, having reared six children, named Susanne, Jacob, Catherine, Henry, Elizabeth and Hannah.
