Bloom and had a daughter, Cora Bloom. Anyone have information on this line please contact me. Thank you. The LaBar line information I received from another Platt family member, which is as follows: Phebe Catherine LaBar's mother was named Sally Snyder LaBar and her siblings were Olivia, Emma, Julia and Calvin. I have traced the LaBar family all the way back to the 1500s. They were in France in 1550 and the name was spelled De La Barre. Anyhow, Phoebe Catherine's father, Jesse, is buried in the old Thompson cemetery near Pennline. His wife Sarah (Sally) is not buried there. There is a 2 month old infant of theirs (Nancy U) buried there also. Jesse LaBar died in 1859. I thought I could see Labar on the gravestone but it was difficult to read. The stone is tipped over and the weather has done some damage too. Jesse Labar Died May 16, 1859 Aged 56 years (aged?) Farewell friends, and children dear I am not dead but sleeping here. The daughter's little tiny stone is right beside his but it doesn't have any words, just a little angel. I wonder if he and Sarah (Sally) were divorced or separated as she is not buried there and it doesn't mention "wife" on the stone? Her picture is in the family album but he had died in 1859 and of course his photo is not in there. I also have photos of many of the LaBars.
