I am the granddaughter of Anson E. Laufer (my Dad is Anson E. Laufer, Jr.). My Dad's step-mother was Marcella. I was small when she died, but I do remember her. Our family (especially my Dad) has done extensive research on our family and I'm sure we can give you information on Marcella. E-mail me with any specific questions you have and I'll see what I can do.

II remember seeing this in my research and thought it might be of interest to those seeking Bronson: 193.CHARLES BRONSON FOUND DEAD OF HEART FAILURE (1933) The lifeless body of Charley Bronson was found lying in the alley near the rear of his house Sunday afternoon about 2:00 o'clock. Miss Violet Lindsey called at the home of Mrs Jay Hysell nearby and while waiting for the door to answer looked around and saw the body lying in the roadway of the ally. She ran to the grist mill and summoned Mr. and Mrs Norris and others soon gathered at the scene and found that death had occurred an hour or so before. Coroner B.G. Bennett was called and Dr. M.F. Stever pronounced death from heart trouble, from which deceased was known to have a sufferer, so no inquest was deemed necessary, Mr. Bennett removed the body to his rooms at Benzonia for care and it was returned there and the funeral held at the Congregational church Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Otto Lamb officiating, and burial was at Thompsonville cemetery. Mr. Bronson was 73 years of age. His boyhood days were spent in the northern part of the county near Bronson lake, that lake being named for his father, who was a prominent resident there in the early days. When a young man he went to Nessen City, where he married a Miss Dunmire who later died there. He came to Thompsonville over 40 years ago and later married Olive Williams, who died several years ago. For many years he operated a dray line here. late years he has been the handy man around town, doing odd jobs, and the first man on the street in the morning looking for what work he was able to do. He was honest and dependable and his familiar figure will be missed by many. He leaves a daughter at Lapeer, a brother at Flint and a sister in Canada, also cousins in Traverse City

9/15 Good evening: The surname assistance I'm looking for is Mariano/Marino residing in the Palm Beach area. I specifically seek a Richard Mariano/Marino born approx. 1930-32 out of Essex County, NJ but believed to be residing in your area. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks, patty

Can someone please try and find an address for a Mark or Debra Pinson. Thanks, Theresa solarize@mindspring.com

Hi Theresa, Well, this probably isn't of much help but the only listing in the Greater West Palm Beach phone book, which covers Lake Worth and several other communities, for the surname you mentioned, is a D. St. Gelais in Lake Worth. The phone book came out in Oct. 2000 so I assume this is a listing for the person you are asking about and not any other relative. I also checked the Boynton Beach book as we are a few miles south of Lake Worth and there was no surname listing. Sorry You may want to check http://www.gopbi.com and go to the Palm Beach Post area. You should be able to order an obit from them. Best regards, Michael Genealogy Planet http://home.earthlink.net/~genealogyplanet

Hi I am sending this to relevant lists and lists I maintain. Bill Mason is a good friend of ours. He is dying of cancer. We are trying desperately to find his brother, Jan Herbert Mason. They have not spoken since they settled their mother's estate in 1988. Bill wants to say goodbye. Here is what we know: Jan Herbert Mason was born in May 1951 in Exeter, NH. He was the youngest son of Herbert Hugh Mason and Sarah Jennings. (Both born in Massachusetts and deceased in North Palm Beach, FL) His other siblings were Gretchen Elizabeth Mason Grafton (born June 08, 1938 deceased) and William Paul Mason (September 1939). The family moved to Florida when he was young. He was married to an Edith Hewett (her father was a jockey) and they had a daughter, Christina Mason, born March 1973. She had a rare disease, Russell Silver Syndrome, and may be deceased. Edith and Jan divorced. He then married Dottie (Dorothy) Taylor. She was born March 1945. We know that Dottie and Jan have motorcycle endorsements. They use to live in Hobe Sound FL until within the past couple years. Before that they lived in West Palm Beach in 1992. We know they did not renew their driver's licenses in Florida so we assume they have moved. If you know of anything about this family, please, please get in touch with me ! Time is running out. Bill is getting weaker everyday. I am Laura Schmidt My email is DigMyPast@msn.com
