Greetings to all: I am trying to find out more about Harry b. 1848 and Anna Ridenour Swartz b. 1850 who were living in Upper Tyrone Twp, Fayette co.. in 1880. The last record I have of them is in 1904 at the marriage of their daughter Edna to Adrian Lynn Lemen. The newspaper article stated that Edna was the daughter of Harry and Anna Ritenour Swartz of Pennsville. Unless the index is faulty, I could not find them in either 1900 or 1910 census. My guess is that they were either in Upper Tyrone/ Bullskin in Fayette or else Scottdale/East Huntingdon in Westmoreland. Their children were as follows: Lulu Swartz b. 1877 Abbie Swartz b. 1879 md. William Geyer lived at Amelia Co., VA Cozie Swartz d. 1930 Brownsville md. Samuel Albright Ethel Swartz 1887-1965 never married (she was living with her aunt Sarah Ridenour in Scottdale in 1910 and later lived in NY and Ohio) Edna O. Swartz md. A. Lynn Lemen moved to Cleveland, OH I would like to find out when they died and where they are buried. It is likely that Anna (also called "Ann"--her full name was "Nancy Ann")died before 1923 as a sister's obit says she was the last of her family. Many of the Ridenour family are buried in Scottdale Cemetery and that would be a likely place.. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Tom
Many thanks to the person who sent the newspaper link about the Harry Swartz who was arrested for horse stealing. I have seen that before, but could not determine from the story if it was the same man. There was a younger Harry Swartz in the census who might better fit the profile, as my Harry would have been in his late 50s by then. The article did mention that Harry left with a Mrs. Lulu Rodgers and her two little boys. Harry and Anna had a daughter Lulu, but it almost sounds as though this was a romantic tryst.
