Becher" <becher.1@osu.edu> Subject: Bentleyville Obits...early 1900s Cc: becher.1@osu.edu Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 HI, My grandfather died in Bentleyville in Feb.(15 or 16), 1916. Where can I find a copy of his obit? Also obits of his mother and step-father who also lived there? She died around 1913...and I don't know when his step-father died but it was after 1910. Also, my mother graduated from Bentleyville HS in 1921...are there any sources of information about the high school at that time. Also, she was baptized at I think an Episcopal church there in about 1915 or 1917...is there information I can obtain about that church? Thanks. My grandfather's name was William Probert...he was a foreman on the railroad. His mother was Fannie (Elizabeth Frances Harris Probert) Abbott. His step-father was A.G. (Allen G.) Abbott. At the time of the 1910 census there was a son Charles Abbott, a daughter Bertha Abbott, and a grandson Joseph Abbott living with them. My mother was Rhoda Probert ( married Joseph McShane of Monessen). All of my mother's and father's family are deceased and I've been trying to piece together some family history. Thanks for any help you can provide. Rhoda McShane Becher --------------D2FE8078E54D880A4C97B93E--
