    3. Does anyone else have a second wife for John R. M. Nagle? I thought Theresa Karster Lantzy was his only wife. I have another obit for him from Northern Cambria News that says he's buried at St. Boniface, which is confirmed by the transcription of the cemetery provided by Lisa Baker on the Cambria Co. web site. from the Cambria News obit North Cambria News, Vol II, No 52, May 20, 1904: "Eleven children blessed this union, eight children survive him. Joseph of near this place, John A. of St. Boniface, Richard of near Spangler, Mrs. Julia Woodford and Mrs. G.W. Lloyd [Martha Ann] of Plattville, Mrs. Jonas Lamar [Catherine Lucinda], and Mrs J.L. Baum [Mathilda] of East Ridge, and Mrs. Hudson Oaks [Sara Elizabeth] of near Harmony." The obit form North Cambria does not mention a second wife. /Cambria Freeman, 20 May 1904 Pioneer Passes Away John R. Nagle, the oldest resident of northern Cambria county, died at the home of his son, John A. Nagle, near St. Boniface on Tuesday, aged ninety-two years. His death resulted from weakness of old age, as he had never in his long life been seriously ill. In spite of his great age Mr. Nagle’s health had been excellent until a very recent date. During the harvest last year he rendered very material assistance on the farm and had been about until a few weeks before his death. He was married twice, but both of his wives have been long since dead. Surviving him are three sons – John A., Richard and Joseph. He was buried on Wednesday at the old St. Joseph cemetery, north of Carrolltown, where nearly all of the pioneers of that section are interred. / Mary
