Late 1800's to early 1900's there was a Louisa Willis 1853-1927 who married a Lydick.  I have her daughter Rhoda Lydick's marriage application to Thomas Newton White June 1, 1895 but she does not list a father.    In Indiana newspapers I found the obits of Otis James Lydick 1883-1950 and a Emery Johnson Lydick 1876-1947.  The newspapers also had marriage application on 25 June 1896 of Louisa to Harrison Conner 1840-1903.    >From the newspapers "May 19, 1927 Ten Years Ago Deaths - Mrs. Louisa Conner age 73."  This article and census makes her born about 1853.    She was 66 in 1920 living with Emery.    I cannot find anything in the 1880 census but right now have the children as:   Emery Johnson Lydick 1876-1947 b. PA d. Cherry Tree, Indiana Cty., PA Rhoda Priscilla Lydick  1877-1960 b, PA d, Trumbull County, OH (OH Death Index) Otis James Lydick 1883-1950 b. Green Twp., Indiana,PA d. Susquehanna Township, Cambria Cty., PA   Now here is another mystery:  In the obit of one son they say his father was Josiah Lydick and in the other son's obit the father is William.  Who was the father of these children????   Anything, Anyone?    Claire
