My great great aunt Jane/Jean HAMILTON married George D. SIEHL of Somerset Co.PA around the late 1890's or so. Daughter Mora E. SIEHL married Melvin L. GEISBERT. Mora was born about 1895 and died age 70 in Nov. 3, 1970. Mora and Melvin GEISBERT had a daughter Charlotte, who I think was born 1918 and died 1994. She married John METZGER who I think was born 1912 and died 1997, they Charlotte and John lived in Lavale and Cumberland. (dates from SSDI) Mora had a brother Lawrence Hamilton SIEHL born about 1893 and died August 15, 1977 in Fort Ashby. Lawrence married Ida G. LEIGHTY. A sister of Ida G. LEIGHTY SIEHL, Margaret E. LEIGHTY, married Walter S. KENNEY. When Lawrence was stricken ill, wife Ida phoned her brother in law Walter to come over. Mr. KENNEY collapsed on the porch of the Siehl home - both men dead on arrival at the hospital. Parents of the Ida and Margaret LEIGHTY were Sarah Ellen LIGHT and William H. LEIGHTY. Lawrence and Ida Siehl had a son George. I "think" George married Katherine LEWIS between 1940 and 1946. I would live to verify this. Anyone who can tie my assumptions together regarding George and Katherine? Any cousins out there? I would like to fill in some gaps, and can share what I have. Thanks for bearing with my long message. Ruth Sprowls
