Surnames: Rhenish, Pedmo
Looking for information regarding the family of John Rhenish born January 3, 1888 in Freeland, Pennsylvania. I have heard John Rhenish's mother may have been married twice, second time possibly to someone with the surname Pedmo.

"Rhenish" Pin dish

Surnames: RHENISH
It's a small white pin or what-not dish, round with the name RHENISH in black below a covered urn. It has gold fired into the glaze surrounding the name. A linked chain design connects each end of the gold crescent shape. About 3 1/2 inches across. It's an older piece.

If any family members want this little artifact please let me know. Could probably ship it to you for a few dollars.
