Anna Eliza Phillips in 1910 Census was living with Frank C. HABARLE, his wife Maud J., son Charles E, Adopted daughter Margaret J. Anna Phillips was listed as "mother-in-law" place of birth West Virginia. Frank C. Habarle was listed as "head of household" place of birth Wisconsin. I believe that Anna E. Phillips is my great grandmother (maternal) nee: Douling. Her husband was Elijah Phillips born we believe Ohio. Anna E. was his second wife. Their daughter Anna May Bibey nee: Phillips, was my grandmother. They also had three sons- Albert, Willie and Edward. All children born in Pa. I have been looking for more pertinent information on Anna E. so I can send for her death certificate (if not her marriage or birth)and find out who her parents were, etc. So, if anyone has any information I would really appreciate letting me know.

Looking for information on the family of Patrick Coyne (b. 1872 Maam, Galway, Ireland, son of John & Barbara [Walsh] Coyne) married to Mary Monroe (b.1881, Balla, Mayo, Ireland). Census records for 1910 have them living in Moosic, PA (outside Scranton) with the following children: John (b.1904) Mary (b.1906), Cathryn (b.1907), Margaret (b.1908) and Barbara (b.1909). There may have been 2 more children, twin girls that became Franciscan Nuns. Patrick died suddenly of blood poisoning some say at age 42 or in 1914. Other relatives say it was 1918. Their son John was killed in Scranton in some sort of mass transit accident in or around 1921 at age 17. Mary then moved the family to CARNEGIE, PA. Patrick was the 2nd oldest of 9 siblings (Brigid Conoboy, John, Mary Kerrigan, Peter, Kate, Nora Duffy, Michael, Barbara Dunleavy, and Andrew) and I have info on all but him. The majority of them settled in the Cleveland, OH area. Patrick is buried at St. Joseph Cemetery in Scranton. Any info would be greatly appreciated and I'm more then willing to share information. His youngest sibling, Andrew, was my late Grandfather. Thank You, Peggy O'Donnell
