Can anyone help me with the husband, parentage and son of Harriet A. BROSS? From her obituary published in the Sussex Independent, (NJ): "Harriet A. BROSS died at the home of her son, at Waterloo, Friday evening, age 71 years. Funeral services were held at the home, Monday, at one o'clock, conducted by Mr. Frazier. Interment at Westtown." She died 4 August 1906. I am trying to learn if she might have been the first wife of Peter V. BROSS, who later moved to Lackawanna, PA and married secondly, Myra Ann STRAWN. Thanks for any help. Mona Bross Hylton, Richmond, IN

Mona, I have Harriet A. Decker, b. 2 Nov 1840 in Minisink, d. 3 Aug 1906, wife of Joseph H. Bross, m. 16 Mar 1859. She was buried in Unionville Cemetery, Westtown. Some of my info came from a 1991 FGS by Judy Henderson. [I don't know if I still have a copy.] For further info, contact me directly.
