Bev W. If you have access to ancestry.com, they have an 1890 Philadelphia Directory. A search of this directory shows: Henry Seher, undertaker, 2009 E. Susq'ana av Susa'ana av is the abbreviation for Susquehanna Avenue, which is actually Otis Street. The name changed in 1885, right about the time you are looking. Searching under Otis street brings up a couple of hits for other folks, but they weren't undertakers. A search under "funeral" as in funeral director, produced zero hits, presumably that term wasn't used in the directory in 1890. The 2009 Susquehanna Avenue address would today be up near Front Street & Susquehanna Avenue (east of Front street). Ken Milano PS.

I would like to receive the complete text of the following newspaper article .. Jan. 4, 1878 Bordentown Register, Obituaries, Page 3, Column 4 In a summary it states William E. Page, 60, died suddently at his Philadelphia home on January 8?.He is survived by his mother Ann Page 84, 3 sisters, Mrs. Townsend Cox & Mrs. Job Shinn, Mrs. Elmeline Keeler of New Egypt, 2 brothers Thomas of Juliustown & Joseph of Pa. 3 other siblings in Pa. all of whom will likely inherit his $101,000. estate. In the New Jersey Mirror 11/28/1883 in Philadelphia, Nov. 18, Nancy widow of the late Thomas Page , aged 90 years. Interred at Pemberton, NJ. I believe Ann Page, William Page's mother and Nancy Page are one and the same person. Is anyone on this list researching the Page and allied families. My husband's gg grandfather was WIlliam's brother, Thomas Page from Juliustown married to Achsah Lake. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Louise lmpage1@optonline.net

Bill, My gggrandparents immigrated in 1852, also from Hesse. Interestingly, they arrived at New York Port. Somehow they were able to travel to the Hazelton area where they settled and farmed. Their ship manifest listing was found at the NARA in New York City. I have alsways wondered how they found Hazelton. I assume their sponsor was from there. Still hunting. Good luck.

I was going back thru old emails and this topic caught my eye. My gggrandparents lived in Bucks Co., PA, but got married in Delaware in 1901.....maybe because the bride was only 16 at the time? Anyone know about this? I was aware of the ease of a Maryland elopement (that's where my grandmother got married the first time around) but I've never heard anything about DE.

Hi, Dennis -- I found two references to a Joseph Young that seem to be in the right time frame. Both references are from W.W.H. Davis' History of Bucks County, and are as follows: Page 331, which deals with people involved in the newspaper business, which reads: "'Der Morgenstern' was established in August, 1836, by Joseph Young as 'Der Bauer' (The Farmer), the present name being adopted in 1841. Moritz Loeb became interested in the paper in 1848, and purchased Young's interest in 1851." Page 553 details membership of "Doylestown Encampment, No. 35, I.O.O.F." and lists a Joseph Young as a participant as of June 22, 1846. There were also a couple of references to an Elizabeth "Swortley," but these women were listed as married to others. Hope this helps!

Thanks, much. I had the reference to Der Morgenstern (The Morning Star) before, but not the Encampment reference. There are several comments about Joseph Young in the Doylestown Legal Intelligencer during the middle 1800's, after he left Doylestown. Joseph Young's son, John S. Young, ran a photography shop in Doylestown on-and-off from about 1861 to 1870 (when he died in Philadelphia). He apparently traveled back and forth from Philadelphia to Doylestown regularly. He was married in Philadelphia to Anna (Annie) Lilley in 1860. However, he had advertisements in the Doylestown Legal Intelligencer for his photopraphy shop near the courthouse in various years of the 1860's. He had some of their children baptized in Doylestown during the middle 1860's. They were living in Philadelphia for the 1st enumeration of the 1870 census, June 15th. He died in Philadelphia just 7 days later, June 22, 1870. Joseph Young's parents are the illusive ones, known to us as John Young and Elizabeth (?). Joseph's daughter, Catherine, mentions in her memoirs that her YOUNG family was an "old Bucks County family who lived in the same home for several generations." This conflicts with the historical reference that Joseph Young was from Lehigh County. Unless.....the "old Bucks County family" comment from Catherine refers to the fact that Lehigh County was carved from old original Bucks County (as was Northampton). The search goes on! Thanks, again. Dennis

Hi - Thank you for your reply. These are the obituaries that I am looking for: Sigmund (Zigmont Joseph) Bairunas, died May 8, 1938, lived at 3277 Belgrade St., Philadelphia, age 38 Stanley Bairunas, died December 31, 1933, age 60, lived at 2502 E Alleheney St. Philadelphia Vincent Razler (Rezler), died April 5, 1935, lived 3277 Belgrade St, Philadelphia Frances Rezler, died April 18, 1935, lived at 3277 Belgrade St, Philadelphia Bronislawa (Bernice)( maiden name Rakickas), died February 10, 1954, lived at 2502 E Alleheney St, Philadelphia Dorothy Frances (Bairunas) Ballero, lived in Medford, Massachusetts, but died in Philadelphia and buried there. Died January 1, 1950, Philadelphia (my mother) I have looked in Medford, MA papers and there is no obituary. Helen Pauline (Bairunas) Clark, lived in Bradford, PA. She died June 22, 1958 was from Philadelphia, but died and buried in Bradford. I don't expect you to do this work for nothing. Let me know what you might charge. If you don't want to do this type of work, then maybe you could tell me what newspapers I might try. I have been in contact with the Free Library of Philadelphia and they will try two newspapers. According to them, they have looked at the Daily News and the Public Ledger--although I am not sure how far back they keep their data base.

Well.... folks...... Friday, I received one photopied page from the Lawnview Cemetery Office as a result of my request and $20 in fee to them for information on burial of Thornton and Lucinda BARNES and possibly Hannah (SAVAGE) BUZZARD, Lucinda's mother, and I am happy to report that after several years of searching the internet, etc., Hannah SAVAGE BUZZARD 'is' buried at Mount Peace in Sec I (eye), Lot 98!!!!! hurray!!!! VICTORY!!! Finally found her resting place! In fact there are 2 lots - Sec I, Lot 97 and Lot 98 with a monument in the center of the 2 lots. Oh, for a picture of it! Any volunteers near this Mount Peace cemetery which is located at 3111 Lehigh Ave, Phila PA 19132. office available M-F 8:30am-4pm and 8:30am-1pm on Sats. and can tell you where Sec I is! Catharine BARNES bought 2 lots 97 and 98 in section I per a deed #7143 dated 7/10/1924 which was shown on the copied page. She was the widow of John T BARNES, the son of Thornton and Lucinda, but they don't show her buried in them! Would the others have already been buried there, and then she purchased the lots in 7/1924? I am confused about that date of the deed, and the fact that these people had been dead for 20 or more years before the lot was purchased. Was something going on in 1924 there to require them to purchase a deed or something? Sec I In Lot 97 are Thornton and Lucinda BARNES in grave #2 and 3. There are 4 graves in this lot, but only these two show burials there per the photocopied page. grave 2 - Thornton BARNES age 74 died of consumption buried 6/21/1881 grave 3 - Lucinda BARNES age 78, died of cancer of breast, buried 7/25/1895 A note on the margin says headstones removed and marble monument in center of 2 lots on 4/4/1949 - doesn't say who did this..... In Lot 98 are 3 graves with Hannah BUZZARD, Mildred BARNES age 2, probably gr-dau., and John T BARNES. grave-1 Hannah BUZZARD age 91, died of old age buried 5/26/1885. grave-2 Mildred BARNES age 2 died of membranous-croup, buried Nov 19 1900 or Mar 19 1900 (copy is poor). grave 3 John T BARNES age 44 buried 5/31/1901. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nancie.......Could you please look for a death notice in the Phila Paper for John T BARNES died late 5/1901? Buried on 5/31/1901 at Mount Peace. Also would there be one for Mildred BARNES either in Mar 1900 or Nov 1900? And.....Is there any chance of looking for his widow Catharine BARNES after 7/1924? I have no idea when she died, but she must have been alive then to purchase the lots. She was born 7/1861 per 1900CR. Thanks Diana in Pelham AL, safe from the awful tornadoes in our State!

Hello all, I'm tracing the Line of William D. Dredden and related famlies. Most Dredden's in Philadelphia around the time frame that he would have been found there are related . 1880-present.The Spellings are most likely why it's been so hard for me to track them down. Some also in DE.and/orMd. Hazel Are you tracing all the Dreddens or just a particular line? There seems to be a lot of them and quite a variety of spellings. The census takers weren't always the brightest and sometimes their speling is atrocious! Let me know how I can help. Pat Hazel
