    1. [PA-LAC] Attention:bruthj209@gateway.net re:Julia Kembell
    2. Dear Barbara, You probably think that I have forgotten all about your request...not so, but we just had a new baby in the family and with a Christening and company descending on me, etc., I just have not had a chance to get to it. Anyway, today I got a chance to go up to City Hall to check on Julia Kembell. I did find her. She is buried in the City Cemetery, as you thought. In the register, it said: Mrs. Julia Kembell, age 60 years, died May 29, 1911, lot #106 So, since I had the date of death, I went over to the Historical Society and looked up her obituary. Since I don't have a scanner, I will type what it said: The Times-Leader, Tuesday evening, May 30, 1911 PLAINS WOMAN DEAD At the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Brader, 75 Abbott Steeet, Plains, occurred the death yesterday morning of Mrs. Julia Kemble (sic), aged 66 years, after three months' illness. She is survived by the following children: T.A. Kembel (sic), Mrs. Herbert Doland, Mrs. William J. Morgans and Elmer, of Parsons, and Mrs. Charles A. Brader of Plains; also the following sisters: Mrs. Abe Simpson of Scranton, Mrs. Sarah Keaster and Mrs. Joseph Ditchfield of Treverton. She was a member of the M. E. church of Parsons. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 from the home of Charles A. Brader, with interment in the City Cemetery. Those wishing to view the remains will have the opportunity on Wednesday between the hours of 10 and 1:30. >From the Times-Leader, Thursday evening, June 1, 1911 MRS.
