This is any obituary that was sent out a few months back and I just wanted to make a correction regarding Dorothy Sherer's Allwein ancestry. Her father was not in fact the son of Joseph Adam Arnold and Mary Catherine Reinsel as noted by Thomas below. Joseph and Catherine did have a son called Francis G Arnold, born in 1974 but on their cemetery stone it says he died in 1901. The stone at Holy Cross Cemetery states: ARNOLD J Adam - August 22 1849-May 8 1914 Catherine Reinsel - April 26 1852-January 6 1934 Francis - 1874-1901 Edward - 1877-1898 However there is another Francis G Arnold, also born in 1874. This is the one that married Mary C. Albright. His tombstone states: ARNOLD Francis G. 1874-1948 Mary C. 1876-1955 According to James Elwood Arnold's "Descendants and relatives of Johannas Arnoldt, 1715-1803", the parents of this Francis G were Peter Aaron Arnold and Cecelia Bixler. Peter's parents were Joseph Arnold and Sarah Allwein, daughter of Philip Allwein and Barbara Franz Joseph's parents were Peter Arnold and Margaret Arentz Peter's parents were Hermanus Arnold and Catherine Allwein, daughter of Conrad and Anna Weibel. Hope this makes sense. Adam From: "Thomas A. Stobie, SFO" <stobie@sprynet.com> Subject: Re: [ALWINE] Dorothy G.
