    2. Hi Beverly, I wanted to send for Myrtle KING's death certificate online but it comes up in default if you don't have the day & month entered on the form! Hence, I need the day! My married named was FOSS but my 1st husband William J. FOSS (son of William FOSS, b. c1882) died on 27 Dec 1960 on active duty in the military. He was a career man. I was 8 mo. pregnant & our son was b. 6 weeks later on my birthday 6 Feb 1961! Here is Myrtle FOSS - FOOSE in the census records: 1900 Census -- 3rd Ave., New Kensington Borough, Westmoreland Co., PA EVANS Mary H W F Sep 1850 50 Wd or Na 0 0 PA * ** FOOSE William Nep W M Oct 1881 18 S PA PA PA Helper Heater *** Myrtle Nic W F Dec 1885 15 S PA PA PA Attend School *Hamburg? **PA *** Ten Mill? Owns Home NOTE: Bill & his sister Myrtle were raised by Mary (Seese), who is their aunt or step aunt. Bill's parents supposedly left an estate & he had a private tutor, named HOFMAN. His parents d. bet. 1886-1900. Did they die in an epidemic in Westmoreland Co. - Allegheny Co., PA area? Mary (Seese) EVANS states in this census, both of Bill's parents were b. in PA but Bill said his father Harry FOSS was b. in Scotland & his mother Hanna Elizabeth HANSEN was b. in Denmark -- I question this info because Mary (Seese) EVAN's stepfather is a Joseph FOOSE! I believe a son of Joseph's is the father of Wm & Myrtle FOSS - FOOSE! Then of course Mary would be their "Aunt Mary"! 1910 Census -- Main Street, Parnassos Boro., Westmoreland Co., PA KING John A.
