The Catherine Shriver Wilt I am refering to was the grand daughter of Johann Maertin Shriver. She married Johannes Wilt who also had a sister named Catherine Their grandfather was Johann Valentine Wilt b. Dec 28 1679 d.in 1755. This Catherine Wilt (sister of Johannes) married Johannes Felker/Voelcker on the 22 May 1783. She was born Feb. 6 1763 and died Dec 3, 1847. Her husband was b. Feb 6 1763 and died Aug 4, 1846. I think perhaps this is the Catherine you are referring to. Her father was Paulus Wilt. Am I correct? Elaine from Wisconsin.

Catherine Wilt( only occasionly Wild in records) was my ggg grandmother. I have her Wilt line back to 1600's in germany and her maternal line Shriver/Schrieber almost that far. She did indeed have a brother Johannes and 4 other brothers all of whom I also have information on. My ggg grandfather Jacob Bonge died by drowning in 1813 leaving Catherine and 6 living children. When her father Johannes died in 1823 his will lists her as wife of a George Beck. She married him in 1817. Most of the early information I have is centered in York Co Pa. She is descended from the Groff line by her father's mother Barbara Groff married to Paulus Wilt. The Groff lines are well documented in the Groff books one and two. If you let me know if you are connected I can send you what specific information I have.Incidently Catherine Shriver/Schreiber was wife of her father Johannes. Her brother Johannes married Juliana Moss/Mosey For them I have 7 recorded children.Elaine from Wisconsin Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

It really come down to the area. Generally, people from York will not place obits in the Hanover paper and vice versa, unless the deceased had ties to that town. In general terms, Hanover and York and 2 completely different types of towns, but that discussion is better off list.

The Agitator, Wellsboro, PA, Wednesday, May 18, 1892 The Late Mrs. DePui Sketch of the Life of a former resident of Tioga McGrath - The death of Mrs. Eliza DePui, which took place on Sunday morning, May 8th, 1892, in Omaha, Neb., will fill with sorrow the hearts of a large circle of friends, both here and in the West where her last days were ended at the of eighty-two years, after a long and lingering illness of several months at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. M.C. Nichols. Mrs. DePui was born in 1810 at York, PA. She received the best educational and social advantages the country afforded at that day. Her father, Thomas H. McGrath, was a man of high social position and entertained many distinguished men at his hospitable home, his accomplished family having the benefit of much cultured society. Mrs. DePui always retained a lively impression of the personality of the different personages connected with her father's memory, and loved to recall the prestige of her younger days in the home life. She was married to Major Vine DePui at her father's house in York in December, 1837. They made the wedding journey by packet boat and stage coach from York to Tioga in five days - a distance of 250 miles. In the following spring they went to housekeeping at the old homestead on the DePui farm two miles below town, a picturesque and quaint house built and occupied by the parents of Vine, who was the first-born of eight children in that then new home. The house was thirty-two years old when Mrs. DePui entered as a bride her future home. Seven children - six sons and one daughter were born to her, all of whom located in different parts of the West. Two of the sons have died - George, a lawyer of promising ability, in Newville, Ill., and James in Sedalia, from an injury on the cars. Mrs. DePui was a wonderfully bright and attractive woman, and singularly adaptive in her nature. Having been reared on the borders of slavery, where servants were plenty and cheap, it was a great change for her when she came up into this northern part of the State and found the ways and methods of domestic management so different; "help" scarce, the mothers and daughters "doing their own work" mostly, with perhaps one servant for the heavier part; yet she cheerfully threw her spirit into the "intricacies" of the situation, and with a winning grace and pleasantry she passed through an experience of several months, made bearable by her deep devotion to her husband, whose kind consideration and sympathetic endeavors to modify the quality of her cares. Her second son, George, was born at her home in York, and when she came back to Tioga she brought two colored servants with her, who remained until her children were nearly grown. The family moved from the farm to town in 1852, so as to be nearer the schools, and went back in 1860, where they remained until the death of Major DePui, which took place in 1869. Four years later Mrs. DePui went West to live with her daughter, Mrs. Nichols, whose devotion to her mother all these years was something beautiful to witness. It is a singular fact that Major Vine DePui's death was the only one that occurred in that old house during its occupancy for 64 years by the DePui family. ----------------------------- The Omaha Evening --, of he 10th instant gives the following interesting sketch of Mrs. DePui's life: Born in 1810, when the century was young, Eliza McGrath DePui was a fine example of the grandee dame. Educated at the best seminaries of those days, she was a favorite in the circles of society of her native place, York, PA. During her unmarried life she presided with dignity over her father's establishment, who, until his death, was the Postmaster of that pretty town which is almost touched by the waters of the Susquehanna, and one of the best known men in central Pennsylvania. It was her good fortune to entertain upon a number of occasions General Lafayette, when he was a guest of her father's, and one of the pleasantest episodes in her life was in connection with a visit paid to her home by the General Simon Cameron. Jeremiah S. Black lived but a short distance from her home in York, and many interesting things could she recall of Pennsylvania's favorite son, incidents that would have made delightful reading could they have been collected in more enduring form than the memory of a single mind. He whole life was one of active, energetic work, and until age came on she was interested in all that tended to make life nobler and better. It might be said of her as it was beautifully said of a famous English writer: " The great ocean of her life, that had gathered its wealth from the myriad springs, flowed to the heights - such the complete circle - and in its spacious fullness was divinely stilled."
