Hello I met Erma Cosby on the occasion of my paternal grandmother's funeral, (Zella Schlemmer Mechlin, sister of Kate Schlemmer, Erma's mother). This was when I was a child in 1960 and again in 1962 when my uncle Zella's son passed away both in Washington, DC. Erma and Genevieve came with Mildred and Mike Cullivan, and Mildred Gray. I have been doing research on Schlemmer family. I would love to know Kate Schlemmer's maiden name. Or any information you wish to share.

I posted this obit but unfortunately I don't have any connection to this family nor knowledge about them. This post is filtering through to our Cosby-L so perhaps someone reading this will have the information you are seeking.

Hi Cathy - my name is Karen Williams Rountree and I am Erma Louise Blossingham Cosby's granddaughter. I have done some research on our family tree and would like to share what I have. Both of my daughters have named their daughters after their maternal relatives, so it is of great interest that I would like to obtain information as well. I am not a member of Ancestry.com but can be reached via email at lkrtree@gmail.com I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks! PS what was Zella's middle name? Marriage records have it as beginning with an E.

I was searching the message boards for references to the name Cullivan and discovered you had mentioned Michael and Mildred again here. So for future reference, the Michael is the one found here in my One Name Study: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&d...
