Hello, I was wondering if any of the list members in or near Monessen have access to the obituary archives of The Valley Independant..... I've tried to locate any onfo on my grandfather who lived and died in Monessen in the 1960's. Frank Strauss married Julia Nusser in or near Munkacs, Austria-Hungary. Their son (my dad) Anthony Frank was born in Munkacs in 1912. Sometime after that they immigrated to the US and ended up in Monessen where Frank worked at the Hungarian Club at some point. They had 3 daughters: Julia m. Joe Shoemaker, Anna m. Ken McGee and Elizabeth m. "Doe" Rotondo. Julia and Anna lived in Monessen while Elizabeth lived in Akron, Ohio. Frank isn't listed in the Social Security Death List (Julia was) His wife Julia died in 1984 and I believe that they are buried in Monessen..... Any help greatly appreciated.
