Hello Regina Thanks very much for that! Yes, I think that's "my" Sarah Stead who died in 1925. How do you access PA Vital Death Records, please? All I could find are the indices. Is that what you looked at? (Told you I was a newbie to Pennsylvania research!)

Walter was a widower. Hannah lives with the family as well. Walter was age 57 while Hannah was 29. In checking PA Vital Death Records it appears a Sarah Stead died on May 28th 1925. Although it may not be "your" Sarah - it seems likely that it is. Clearly she died sometime between 1924 and 1930. >Regina
