Ken, Thanks so much for this information! Wonder if the Genealogical Society of Pa. has records? I will check. Is there a local newspaper that I shoud be checking for an obit? There is no obit in the Inquirer or the Public Ledger. My great great grandmother, Maria Heck Pfeiff Rawlins was German and operated a "trimmings store". Her husband Sam was English/Irish. Sam died in December of 1884, just before Christmas and is buried at Greenmount. Unfortunately, but for a couple of City Directory entries and a death cert, I have no other info in Philadelphia for him. I do have a passenger record, a naturalization record, a couple of addresses in NYC and an entry in the 1880 census. None of this connects him to his extended family.
