This is an old post so you may no longer be looking, but I believe that John Gross is the son of Mathias Gross (born 1850). Mathias arrived in Baltimore on the S. S. Rhein in January of 1912 with his son Johann (John) and daughters Elisabeth and Karolina. He had 2 other children (Matias and Marie) who came to the US at an earlier time. The index on ancestry.com for the Baltimore Passenger list shows their town as "Lurang, Hungary". This is mis-transcribed. It is actualy Zurany, Hungary. Zurany was in Hungary right on the border next to Austria, and had a largely German-speaking population. After WW I, the borders changed just enough that it became part of Austria and is now called Zurndorf (although the German population referred to it as Zurndorf, before the border change.) My husband's grandfather who was born in Zurany, Hungary identified himself as Austrian, even though the town was located in Hungary when he was born! . This record also shows that both Johann and his father Matias were shoemakers, as is the John Gross in the 1920 census that you mentioned. The one place where our information differs is in that I have Johanna C. Keplinger's birth year as Mar 1889, so maybe we aren't talking about the same people. The John in your 1920 census really matches the Johann who was the son of Matias, though. As for my Johanna C. Keplinger, I have her born Mar 1889 arriving in Baltimore on the SS Dresden in May of 1894 with her father Martin Keplinger and mother Magdaline and siblings, Magdaline, Martin and Johan. They claim to be from Zurndorf, too. FYI, I believe that Johanna's brother Martin Keplinger was married to John's sister Caroloine Gross. If you think we have a match, please let me know and I will happily share any other information that I have. Happy hunting!

Gary, I searched the Baltimore Sun archives thinking there might be story. I found thousands of hits before 1900, on meetings and conferences, etc. There were none at all that I could find after about 1938. Maybe the ELCA-Region 8 Archives in Gettysburg? Also, the latest issue of Family Tree Magazine (July/August) has an article called "Researching Lutheran Ancestors." I'll save it for you if you want.

Did you ever try the Washington Post for Nancy Flannigan since she died when she was over 102 they might have her in their obits. I found a Christabel Lovejoy living in Orlando Florida 417 Ruth Apt 1. Maybe you could try the newspapers there. Or if they have a library they might find an obit.
