We were always told that he was named after his father...but that his father's name was Harry. So there has been the conundrum for quite some time. So this made sense when the information I received was for a Harry Casner Adams born on July 20, 1906. Born to a Harry r Adams and Annie Casner. I found a site on the internet that showed me a very blurry view of an obituary in 1907 for an Annie Casner Adams in pennsylvania, but I couldn't read most of it. We were always told that my great grandfather "Jack" ran away from home when he was 14 (1920ish). Now we think he probably changed his first name because he was probably running away from more then just his "home" So, this is what I need help with, if anyone knows: Harry R Adams and Annie (Casner)Adams, is their only child Harry Casner Adams? Does someone have the capability to send me a copy of Annie Casner Adams obituary from 1907? Or have this woman in their tree? Did Harry R ADams remarry after his wife Annie (Casner) Adams passed? If so, was her name or nickname Maude? When/where id Harry R Adams pass away? Does anyone have Harry R Adams in their family tree that matches the prior information listed here? How can I search to see if the Harry Casner Adams born July 20, 1906 in Westmoreland, Pennsylvania is the same man as the Jack C Adams that passed in 1971 in Aurora, Illinois being that his Obituary says he was born in Irwin, Pennsylvania (Westmoreland County)? He is also the father of Shirlee Mae (Adams) Fonda (Henry Jaynes Fonda's last wife) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
