Looking for info. on Mary E. Brendel AKA May Brindle. Married George R. Hulton, Verona, PA. Possibly Mary had a sister Nanny Kerston & Linda Doll. Also a nephew Fred Brendel of Jacksonville, Florida area. Mary's mother's name possibly Henrietta

was her mother a McClain

Annie-Very little known, she married George R. Hulton and
died in 1944. Limited conversation suggests mothers name possibly Henrietta. Lived in Verona,Pa. Any information appreciated.

Verona, Allegheny, pa puts her in right place for possible connection. There was a Henrietta (as best i can tell from trying to decipher) McClain b. in the 1840's whose sister's obit in abt 1919 refers to Henrietta as Mrs. H R Brendel. This same Henrietta also appears to have had a son Austin McClain Brendel who died in 1935 in Allegheny Co. He was married with children but I don't have those names at this moment. Any fit for you?

Just look for Oakmont on a map & notice the Hulton Bridge over the Allegheny River to Harmar/old route 28.
Oakmont & Verona became seprate in 1889-before that I believe that the area was considered one community
