Thought I would try again to find my Great Grandmother's place of death. It sounds terrible but its the only way I am going to be able to find information as to her birth place and parents. The last place I found her was in Carnegie and she was living with her step-daughter Maude Heberle and her husband Frank, and their two adopted children Charles and Margaret. This was on the 1910 census. Margaret later married a PRICE, Charles I don't know anything else about him at this point. Frank and Maude lived last in Midway, Washington County. They are buried in Chartiers Cem. but no dates were listed. Please, if anyone has any information on this family I would really appreciate it if you would contact me. I have been searching for "Annie" Eliza Phillips for over two years.
