A very successful trip to Scranton this past Friday. I was visting family on Long Island when I descided to make a side trip (yes I said side trip) to Scranton. Where mapquest said 143 miles and 2.5 hours of driving turned out to be over 4 hours of driving! But we had fun. Found the Library with no problems 1) Found my Great Great Grandmother's (Anna Catherine Zorn) death certificate (Feb 1895) with the help of Richard Reese who found it in the index. 2) Found her obit in the Scranton Republican, which listed she died at her daughter's house on 344 Maple St. 3) I already had an old photo of 344 Maple St (dated 1908) but did not know the relationship. So Christina Teichmann (midwife) was my Great Grandaunt. With that info I was able to look up the 1900 Census and found her with her youngest daughter and husband, and then found her in the 1880 census with her 3 other daughters! Found the house and took a photo. Both photos look very similar so the same house is still standing! 4) On the death certificate it stated that she was burried at Pittston Ave Cemetery. We asked for help from the Reference Area and they tolds how to get there. Well when they told us left we went right. After a slight tour of Scranton we realized we made a mistake. We found the cemetry and then went to Hickory St Presbyterian Church to see if they could help us find where she was. The lady there ( I have fogotten her name) call the caretaker and he knew right where she was! Found her tombstone with no problems. It was in GREAT shape. I want to thank all for giving me information about parking and a very special thankyou to Richard Reese.
