Surnames: Dean, Sperbeck Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3RB.2ACE/467 Message Board Post: I am searching for information on Harold Charles Dean, b. Dec.26, 1912 in Tioga Co. Village, Oswego, NY, d. April 1987 in Pasco Co. Florida. He had a brother named Howard, another brother, name unknown, who died in a drowning incident, and his father was [we think] also named Howard. Harold's son Robert thinks that Harold's mom's name was Blanch, but is unsure. I would like to find out Harold's parents' names for certain, along with any other information to be found on the family. Harold Charles Dean married Viola Martha Sperbeck on October 04, 1937 in Elmira, NY and had a son, Robert Harold Dean on Feb.25, 1945, and a daughter, Linda Viola Dean on June 3, 1947. He lived in Elmira NY during his high school years, but at some point prior to that the family lived in the Ocala area of Florida, returning to NY later on, date unknown. Harold worked for Bendix Corporation, Eclipse Division both before and after his service in the ARMY, and worked at the Mark Twain Hotel in Elmira as a kitchen helper before he married Viola. Harold was a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge in Elmira, as well as the Moose Lodge. He was a member of the Choir at Presbyterian Church in Elmira until about 1937. Howard Dean worked for Remington Rand Corp. until they closed, moving on from there to work for the State of New York as a Consultant on Safety Issues. He never married and never had children. This is the extent of my knowledge on Harold and his family. Anyone who can add to this information , please contact me ASAP at jennifer_loc31@msn.com
