Mary Louisa Cohen/ wife of Noble Cohen

MNDLEAMY — 2009-10-28 03:13:18Z

I am researching Mary Louisa Cohen who was married to Noble Cohen around 1874. She died 1931 at Methodist Home in Philadelphia and is buried at Chester Rural Cemetery. Noble Cohen must have died between the 1920 and 1930 census. He came from Ireland. Does anyone know when he died and where he is buried? Hopeing to find an obituary on him to perhaps find the maiden name of his wife Mary Louisa Cohen.
Thanks, Don

I know his parents and his children dates, Im just having a big problem trying to locate John's obit. All the papers that I found access to has a cut off point before his date of death.

Re: Obit Lookup

twokilts1 — 2009-10-14 08:08:19Z

I also see the names (and dates) of John Demas's parents and two of his deceased children on Ancestry.com if that will help you...

Re: Obit Lookup

twokilts1 — 2009-10-14 07:47:03Z

I will keep looking but I see he is buried in St. Peter and Paul Cemetery in Springfield PA with his wife Margaret and son William (findagrave.com)

Looking for obits/burial locations

arclightzero — 2009-10-05 20:31:55Z

I am looking for obituaries for George Edward Evans (b. 1877, d.1959) and Ann Jane Evans (b. 1876, d. 1922).

I don't know much other than Ann Jane Evans lived in Folsom in 1922 and died at Crozier Hospital in Chester. George Edward Evans later remarried somebody I named Maude(?) and last lived in Ruledge.

What I am particularly interested in is finding out where these individuals were buried. Sadly nobody in our family knows where these two were laid to rest.

Thanks!!

Hi,

That would be interesting, I have a ship list on Joseph and Michael, but not their dad Jacob.

I would like to find Jacob's death or obit, the 2 families I have for him from Germany do not match the census' so it is strange, a will on him would be interesting.

If you want to contact me direct: Achiello1@yahoo.com

Re: REMM FAMILY

MNDLEAMY — 2009-09-25 20:26:57Z

Hi Andy
Jacob Remm son Joseph F died July 10, 1950 and his wife Agnes died Sept 6, 1933 and both are buried at St. Francis De Sales. I called the church and they do not even have that record but I found the obits. Joseph's sister Catherine Styer is buried there also in 1955. I would presume that Jacob is buried there also, but need additional proof.

I'm directly related to William, Edward, Thomas, etc of Delaware County and have done significant research on each of them. I've never heard of "Hornetown" in Darby - can you send me a link or a copy of the map you're referring to? I'd be very interested in seeing it! You can email me directly at HortiSB@gmail.com.

senramos52 — 2009-09-05 00:05:53Z

I found out that the name was changed to "Glen Mills School for delinquent youths." It's located in Delaware County, PA. Maybe if we work together, we can get some information on the schools past. I would like to know where their "archives" are kept? Will keep in touch. My grandfather learned his trade "Upholstery" there.

Thanks,

Re: Elizabeth Pedlow Toppin

MNDLEAMY — 2009-08-15 23:03:44Z

Hi Melissa
Go to Delaware County Library Newspaper Archive and you can look at the delaware county newspapers to get the obits. You can type in the surname for a time period, and it will come up and just click in to enlarge the article. I cannot figure out how to print it but maybe you can. I pretty good guess is that the parents of Harry Haycock Boyd are buried at Lawn Croft cemetery also(Thomas and Susan) I saw Thomas living with his daughter and son in law Thomas Devonshire in the 1900 census and they are buried at Lawn Croft also. The phone # is 610-485-1878. Best wishes and if you need anything additional here in Delaware Co, let me know.

Jacob Horn (b. 1801, d. before 1880) is living in Banks Twp, Carbon County, PA in 1850 and 1870 with wife Elizabeth (Hattie?) and 8 children. Most children moved to Luzerne County between Civil War and 1880. One son, Stephen Horn, lived in Huntington Twp, Luzerne County, PA and was mentioned in Munsell's History of Luzerne County (1880) as having been born in Horntown, PA. I find Hornetown in Darby Twp, Delaware Cty on a 1780 map along with early Hornes--William, Edward, Thomas. Any help linking Jacob to these Hornes would be appreciated. Thanks!

You are posting on Delaware County, Pennsylvania Board. What is the connection of these Casperons to Delaware County? I don't see Ruth Casperson in the SS death index, a long shot she could still be alive at 104.

help reading 1920 census on ancestry.com

dmvhwelsh12362 — 2009-08-26 23:11:47Z

I am looking at 1920 u.s. census for James Crielly. Census says he is abt 39 yrs old from Upper Chichester, Delaware, Pennsylvania. It shows his children but where one of the children's name should be its blank. and then shows a fraction as an age. The next child has a name but again has a fraction as an age. I am trying to decipher if there is a way to tell when they were born. Or if the fraction shows how long they lived. When I look at the handwritten copy of the census only the one where the name is listed shows. Thanks if you can help.

Re: help reading 1920 census on ancestry.com

dmvhwelsh12362 — 2009-08-26 23:48:55Z

Thanks for answering. I know Paul died as an infant and so did a child Robert. I assumed the no name was him. I was just looking to see if anyone had experience with such things. Thanks again.

I might be able to help......I have lived in Newtown Square for many years and that is where Dorothy died. Do you know if her husband has passed? I can't find him on the SS Death Index. Strange.....

There is a Dorothy M. listed in public records who lived in Bala Cynwyd in 1989. Would that be a possibility, do you think?

There are two nursing homes in Newtown Square which could possibly be where she was living.

Any hints??

My ancestor was French marine aide Maj. Pierre Gabriel de Juzan of Mobile, Alabama, killed in combat against Chickasaws, in the 1730's 1st Battle of Ackia, Tupelo, Missisippi Military District. His father was Count Ponchartrain's intendent of estates, his mother Mme. Michelle de Liette de Juzan "of the King's cabins", Versailles, France. Maj. Juzan was kin to Capt. Antoine de Tonty and aide Maj. Charles Pierre de Liette of Canada, killed 2nd Battle of Ackia. Allegedly all three were once considered for, but not awarded, the Order of St. Louis? Third brother, Baron Alphonse de Tonty (Taludy) purchased the 1600's fortified stone home in Montreal of my ancestor Etienne Trudeau who's son, Canadian marine Maj. Francois Trudeau in 1702 build old (defunct) up-river Mobile, Alabama's first fort. Today, again in the Trudeau family, it is the restaurant Auberge St. Gabriel. Brother Henri de Tonty from Canada to Mobile, was godfather of Kaskaskia Illini Mme. Catherine E8ipakin8ca Colon's half-breed daughter, Henriette Colon who wed Canadian Charles Rochon, Sr., who 1714 own 1,000 cattle on Hollinger's Island off Mobile. The brother's father allegedly help found the di Tonti system of insurance?

Hi,

Were you ever able to determine if there are still records from this institution? I also have an ancestor I believe was there in 1900 and wondered if there are any records to prove it was him.
