Does anyone know where Edgley is at in PA? I tried Mapquest and they said that they couldn't find an Edgley in Pa... The Obituary says that she died in her son Alfred Snyder Hess' home in Edgley... Sorry I don't have Benjamin :( but here's the obit transcription for Anna, and when I have time I'll scan it and email to you, if you'd like. This has quite a bit of clues regarding Anna. I'd check out the Red Lion Church and also see who took over that funeral home-might have some awesome records for you, for both Benj. & Anna!! Have you checked the other census records for them? Let me know!! (I think I'm more excited about find this for you than you are for getting it lol - IF you don't already have the info!)

It appears to be a small area between Tulltown and Bristol. I believe that it is actually Levitttown in Bucks County PA Lee Corbit > > Sorry I don't have Benjamin :( but here's the obit transcription for Anna, and when I have time I'll scan it and email to you, if you'd like.
