    3. Does anyone have any information on Elsie Matilda BOLEY? In the Souvenir of Loretto Centenary 1799-1899, there is a Census of St. Michael's Parish, Loretto, PA, taken on 15 August 1899. On page 295, Elsie Matilda is shown with the family of Joseph and Cecilia (Hertzog) Boley. Since the rest of the children are listed in chronological order, it would appear that Elsie may have been born between 1889 and 1894. The church census lists nine children: Charles Chrysostom, Elizabeth Bernetta, Ann Lucy, Alphonsus Ignatius, Theresa Magdalen, Francis de Sales, Elsie Matilda, Edna Louisa, and Nelson Modestus. Mary had already married Francis Ebig (2 July 1895) and Thomas Ellsworth BOLEY had already died (5 Dec 1894). This would make eleven children. The 1900 Federal Census shows Cecilia as having had 11 children, 9 of which were still alive. The census lists six children with Joseph and Cecila: Lucy, Alphonsus, Teresa, Frank, Edna, and Nelson. Charles was studying to become a priest, Mary was married to Francis Ebig, and Bernetta married Walter Beck (29 August 1900), which makes 9. Thomas was one of the deceased children; was Elsie the second? I have not been able to locate her in a census, nor have I found her in the obituary index for the Johnstown Tribune. Thanks, Charlie
