Hi, Pat, Without knowing William's birth date, I think I found William and Eliza in 1920 still living in Brooklyn. If you have Ancestry.com, enter William Ecken, Kings County. He and Eliza are 61 yrs old, living with James, a. 28, and Etta Green, a. 39. In the 1925 NYS census, Rockland County, Town of Ramapo, William and Eliza were living on Orange Turnpike, with Etta C. Green, sister-in-law. Joan Brooks Stony Point, NY Pat Zipf wrote: >Hello to all on the List, > >I am a new subscriber to the Rockland Co.

The dates on the gravestone say that she died in 1932 and he died in 1933. I would dearly love to find out the dates of their deaths and also hope to locate obituaries on the couple. > >Some of their children also lived in Sloatsburg after marriage. > >The 1920 Census shows Franklin Eschen Sr and his wife, Eloise nee Cassidy, and their only child, Franklin William Eschen Jr. The 1925 Census shows the same. They were living on Eagle Valley Road. Eloise died on 19 Mar 1926....would love to find an obituary on her as well. >Both Franklin Sr and Eloise (as well as Franklin's 2nd wife) are buried in the Sloatburg Cemetery with William and Eliza Eschen. > > >James Eschen and family....son of William and Eliza....was also living on Eagle Valley Rd at the time of the 1930 Census. > >Franklin William Eschen Sr died 16 July 1956 >Eloise Cassidy Eschen died 19 Mar 1926 >William Andrew Eschen died 1933 >Eliza Lawrence Eschen died in 1932 > >Hope that someone on the List can help me to find obituaries on these people and dates of death for William and Eliza. >I will be patient and have my fingers crossed! :-) Any and all help gratefully received. >Many thanks in advance, >Pat >Jamesburg NJ > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > >
