SHIREY, and Mary M. ALSBACH. I just today found on CA. Deaths her death on 15 December 1954, Fresno Co., CA. aged 87 yr. The death states that she had married a Mr. HOUSE. Does anyone know whom this man was and did they have children?? Does anyone have a copy of her obituary? If so, I'd love a copy to possibly find the other siblings whom we know very little about their whereabouts. The SHIREY'S hail from Pennsylvania, but my GG uncle Solomon M. SHIREY, moved all over the USA. He had been in Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and died in California. Julia and her husband could have been in Illinois for under the Deaths I found a Robert Leslie HOUSE, who was born in Illinois and his mother is listed as a SHIREY. Is he perhaps a son?? See SHIREY Board for additional information on the family and Julia's siblings! Many of there whereabouts are still unknown! I've noted other surnames of HOUSE the folks too were in Missouri, so therefore is there a connection?? I know Solomon lived around the area of LaPlata, MO. where his first wife died along with a son. Old letters have survived when Mary ALSBACH was still living, and one son had just died, and they sounded pretty discouraged. Hence, the reason they undoubtedly moved on! Does anyone know more of the family?
