Surnames: SALTSMAN WALRATH Classification: lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.fulton/2499.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I found the following information on Pearl WALRATH on a family tree on RooteWeb.com. The information strongly suggets that she is the first wife of Reuben SALTSMAN. Pearl WALRATH Born Jul 1869 Married Reuben SALTSMAN Died 6 Aug 1895 Buried in Ephratah Cemetery The information for her all seems to fit for the following reasons: 1. She is the appropriate age to be married to Reuben SALTSMAN (five years younger). 2. From the Census reports for Reuben SALTSMAN we know that he had two children with his first wife. They were born about 1891 and 1893. Pearl died in 1895, which is two years after the birth of these two children. 3. She is buried in Ephrata Cemetery. This suggests that she lived in Ephratah and that ties her residency to Reuben SALTSMAN who is listed as living in Ephratah in the following Census reports: 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930.
