    1. Re: [PANORTHU] Turbotville area families
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: wdrishel Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.northumberland/971.2325/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I need some information about a member of the Schuyler family, Roscoe Conkling Schuyler. Born 7/3/1861 died 32 years later to "morphine overdose"??? He lives long enough to have 3 daughters: Lena, Florence, and Geneva. Lena is my paternal grandmother. She married Josiah R. Rishel. These two families have a lot of history in the area. I now live in Texas, but I grew up in Turbotville. Roscoe's father also died at age 32, cause...? He was a doctor who settled in Turbotville and , apparently, died there. Cause? One of my big problems is the name of Roscoe's wife. Some accounts say Elsie H. others, including a 19th century Rishel Bible, clearly state, Mary A. Smith. Maybe Elsie was a nickname, but that's what's on her tombstone, I believe. If you can help with any of these questions, I would certainly appreciate it . Thanks, William D. Rishel (son of Robert Schuyler Rishel) and Warrior Run graduate of 1971.
