Thank you. My James Edward JOY is in Hughesville, Charles Co., MD in 1900 occupation=wheelwright. One of his daughter's obits (Patty (Joy) Nutwell) described him as moving to the D.C. area about 1900. I have 'J.E. JOY & SON' signing a death certificate as undertaker (of his step-grandson) and his location is Berwyn, MD (Prince Georges Co.). The 1920 Census has him in D.C., undertaker/own business. Family stories are that he's connected to Joy Chapel, Hollywood, St. Mary's Co., MD but I haven't made the link. He was born abt. Dec. 1862 in Maryland and died April 24, 1938 in D.C. John Franklin JOY (his son) is, in 1910, a boarder in DC and an embalmer/undertaker shop. 1920 he's widowed, living with his mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and adopted daughter, and is embalmer/Gawler's. 1930 he's remarried and Funeral Dir. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 5:45 PM Subject: Re: [WashingtonDC'' ] Undertaker's Records |I will keep a look out.
