Married Axel Hugo Wall, son of Gustaf Adolf and Elizabeth (Kullberg) Wall. Axel reportedly came from Stockholm, Sweden, about 1881. By 1910 they lived in Berlin, Hartford County, Connecticut. He became a naturalized citizen and worked as a steel-factory feeder and machinist.

Their five children comprised three daughters and two sons, born between 1910 and 1918. Joanna died at twenty-eight of influenza and bronchial pneumonia. Axel remained in New Kensington and outlived their two eldest daughters.

William grew up in Warsaw, Jefferson County, and served as an Army private from 3 May 1917 to 17 June 1919, according to the family’s service account. After his discharge he returned to his parents’ household and worked as a factory laborer.

On 24 July 1925, in Detroit, he married Violet Errer, born in Michigan in 1909 to William and Mary Errer, both of German heritage. Their two sons were born in 1927 and 1932.

William became an automobile assembler. His World War II draft registration, completed at forty-seven, identifies the Hudson Motor Car Company as his employer. He died in Detroit in 1987; Violet died on 9 August 1989 in Clawson, Oakland County, Michigan.

Merle lived in Westmoreland County when he registered for the World War I draft, naming his father Grant as his nearest relative. The family’s military research identifies him as a U.S. Marine Corps private, assigned to Parris Island on 27 July 1918 and transferred to Quantico on 21 October 1918.

He contracted influenza and died of pneumonia at the Marine Barracks sick quarters, aged twenty-two. His remains were returned to Pennsylvania for burial at Union Cemetery in Arnold. He was unmarried and left no children.

Twain appears with his family in Warsaw in 1900 and Perry Township in 1910. At nineteen, he registered for the World War I draft while living in Parnassus and working as a machine fitter for the U.S. Aluminum Company. He named his mother as his nearest relative; military service has not been established.

In 1920 he worked as a railroad blacksmith. On 24 May 1920, in Wellsburg, Brooke County, West Virginia, he married into the McAninch family, also spelled McAnich. They settled in New Kensington, where Twain worked as an aluminum-company riveter and press operator.

They had two daughters, born in 1921 and 1925, and a son born in 1929.

Known as Lillie, she married Lorenze Wineman Pascoe on 22 August 1918. His name also appears as Lorenzo. Born in 1898, he was a son of John and Minnie Pascoe and worked as a glass-works clerk. Their children were Merle Wineman Pascoe, who died in infancy, and a daughter born in 1920.

By 1928 the couple lived in Royal Oak, Michigan. They divorced in Detroit on 27 February 1930. Lillian and her daughter returned to her parents’ home in New Kensington. That year Lorenze appears as an automobile-parts salesman with a wife named Katherine, born in Georgia about 1901. He later married a divorced mother of one daughter, about 1939, and died in 1965.

Between 1930 and 1940, Lillian married Vincent J. Krapovich, whose surname also appears as Krapowich and Krapowicz. He was born in Connecticut in 1903 to a Russian-born father and German-born mother; his family had lived in New Canaan. Her daughter also lived and worked in Connecticut by 1935, although her exact locality needs confirmation.

Lillian and Vincent settled in Lewisboro, Westchester County, New York, where he worked as a tree surgeon and nurseryman. No children are identified from this marriage. Both died in 1979 and are buried at Maple Avenue Cemetery in Patterson, Putnam County, New York.

William lived with his parents in Pittsburgh in 1900 and Waynesburg by 1910. The family’s military account records service with Company K, 10th Infantry, a discharge on 15 February 1916, and reenlistment on 3 May 1916. He later served as a corporal in Company K, 110th Infantry, 28th Division; his final discharge date remains to be established.

By 1920 he was home in Waynesburg, working in oil drilling. On 3 July 1930, in Harrison County, West Virginia, he married Lucy Kerlitha Tucker. They had four sons and three daughters, born between 1933 and 1946, and remained in West Virginia. William died in Clarksburg in 1961. Lucy died on 6 February 2000, aged eighty-seven.

Norman grew up in Pittsburgh and Waynesburg. His recorded Army service ran from 2 June 1917 to 23 May 1919, including duty in France from 3 May 1918 to 12 May 1919. He became a corporal and was honorably discharged at Camp Dix, New Jersey.

On 2 June 1921, he married Edith White. They had a son born in 1922 and two daughters born in 1923 and 1931. Norman died in Grove City in 1982; Edith died on 1 September 1993, aged ninety-one. They are buried at Greene County Memorial Park in Morgan.

Born in Pittsburgh, Charles moved to Waynesburg while young. He married Hazel Marie Baysinger in the mid-1920s. They had three sons and three daughters, born between 1927 and 1943, and lived in Waynesburg, Pittsburgh, and eventually Grove City.

Charles worked at various laboring jobs and was an oil driller by 1950. Hazel worked as a cook for a restaurant and retail candy business. Charles died in June 1978; Hazel died on 17 December 1995. Both are buried at Jefferson Memorial Park in Pleasant Hills, Allegheny County.

Dorothy was probably born in Pittsburgh or Waynesburg. She married into the Benton family, and their son was born in 1928. After the couple separated, Dorothy and her son shared a home with her mother Carolyn and youngest sister in 1930. Dorothy worked as a hotel waitress and her mother as a maid.

By 1940 Dorothy and her son lived with her sister DeEtta’s family in Waynesburg. The sisters later shared a household in Franklin, Greene County. In 1950 Dorothy worked as a maid and DeEtta as a waitress; the family account identifies their employer as Fort Jackson. Dorothy eventually moved to Oregon to be near her son and died there in 1992.

At sixteen, DeEtta married Harold Thomas “Pete” Corwin, a twenty-year-old farm laborer and son of Charles “Delbert” and Eliza Jane (Scott) Corwin. They had a son born in 1925 and two daughters born in 1926 and 1929.

The couple separated, apparently by 1940, when Pete was a lodger in Morris, Greene County. Dorothy and her son joined DeEtta’s household. Pete registered for the World War II draft. Their son is reported to have served in the Navy as an Aviation Machinist’s Mate Third Class and to have received a Purple Heart; his ship assignment and award documentation remain research leads.

By 1950 the children had left home, and DeEtta lived with Dorothy while working as a waitress. Following her divorce from Pete, she married Orville Albert King on 1 January 1961. Orville died in 1983. DeEtta died in Waynesburg in 1993 and is buried at Greene County Memorial Park.

Marion died of pneumonia in infancy. The dates reported in the family research give an age of two months and six days. His birth record is described as identifying him as his mother’s eighth child and sixth living child.

Named for her mother, Carolyn lived with her after her parents separated. She married Alvin Pierce Kennedy about 1935. They had three sons, born in 1935, 1938, and 1939, and a daughter born in 1942.

The family settled in Strabane, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Alvin’s 1940 draft registration, completed at twenty-seven, names Carolyn as his nearest relative. His Army service is recorded from 1 August 1945 to 10 January 1946, ending at Camp Blanding, Florida. A later veterans’ compensation application was disallowed because he had fewer than sixty qualifying days within the program’s eligibility period; that is distinct from his total period of service.

Alvin worked as a butcher after returning to Pennsylvania. He died on 30 September 1975, aged sixty-two. Carolyn died in Beckley, Raleigh County, West Virginia, in 1997. They are buried at Oak Spring Cemetery in Canonsburg, Washington County, Pennsylvania.

Although born in West Virginia, India spent most of her life in Lawrenceville. On 28 September 1929, she married into the Stillwell family.

India briefly worked as a supply teacher in the public schools and later was a homemaker. Her husband worked as a gas-station attendant and became part owner of the station. They had a daughter born in 1933 and a son born in 1937.

Minnie Bea was twenty-one when she married into the Rader family on 7 June 1930, according to the family account. Her husband was living in Texas, while his parents lived in the Lawrenceville area.

The couple departed for Texas after the wedding, but received word of her father’s death before arriving. They returned to Illinois for his funeral and afterward resumed their journey to begin married life. Her husband worked as a funeral director.

They first lived on South Main Street in Paris, Lamar County, Texas, moved to Gladewater, Gregg County, by 1935, and later lived in Kilgore. They had a son born in 1932 and a daughter born in 1938.

Mabel moved with her parents to Ohio while young and was living in Rush Creek by 1910. About 1925, she married John Adam Sauer. They lived in Zanesville and later in Lakewood, Cuyahoga County.

They had a son born in 1926 and a daughter born in 1927. John worked as a real-estate salesman and broker during the 1930s and 1940s.

By the time of his death on 26 August 1963, John and Mabel had lived in Wake Forest, North Carolina, for about ten years. He died of a heart attack after a history of heart disease. Mabel died in Ohio in 1976.

Helen was four in the family’s reported 1910 census household in Rush Creek. On 3 March 1928, in Marietta, she married Glenn Bertram Kassell, son of George William and Ida Florence (Blake) Kassell.

The marriage account describes Helen, then twenty-one, as a Senior High School graduate who had spent two years at the Lakewood Nurses Training School. Glenn worked for the Greiner Dairy Company and later for the Ohio Power Company. He completed a World War II draft registration on 16 October 1940; active military service has not been established.

They had one son, born in 1940. Helen died in Zanesville in 1961 and was buried at Memorial Park Cemetery.

Glenn later married Laura Elaine (Nowell) Lutz, a widow with three daughters. After Laura’s death in 1973, he married Evelyn E. Holt in 1974; Evelyn died in 1981. Glenn died on 4 September 1986 in Naples, Collier County, Florida. His remains were returned to Ohio for burial with Helen at Memorial Park Cemetery.

Also recorded as Georgiana, she graduated from Ohio University at Athens and became a teacher at Lash High School, including work in physical education.

The family account reports an earlier marriage in Wheeling, West Virginia. Its date and the marriage’s ending remain unconfirmed. In the reported 1940 census entry, Georgianna appears as a single daughter.

On 5 August 1944, she married Charles Edmond Fulkerson, a widower, in Zanesville. She helped raise his daughter, born in 1932, and they had another daughter together in 1945.

The family moved to South Gate, Los Angeles County, California. In 1950 Charles worked as a mould maker at a glass factory. He died in Los Angeles County on 29 September 1985. Georgianna was living in Long Beach when she died on 11 October 2001, aged ninety-two.

Dean was born in Connellsville, Fayette County, and moved with his family to Pittsburgh. At nineteen, he completed a World War I draft registration while working as a clerk for a steel company.

About 1925, he married Martha G. Brennan. They had three sons. Dean worked as a salesman for a mill-supply company; the family’s death-record account describes him as a retired executive.

Dean died on 12 November 1967 following a pulmonary embolism. Martha lived to ninety-nine, dying on 19 September 1999. Her reported survivors included their sons, eleven grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.

Robert’s obituary identifies Kittanning as his birthplace. About 1934, he married Marjorie Barr; they had two daughters.

A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh medical program, Robert served during World War II as an Army Air Corps flight surgeon in Africa, entering as a lieutenant. The family account records his continued reserve service and promotion to lieutenant colonel.

In civilian practice, he specialized in ear, nose, and throat medicine in Ridgway, Pennsylvania. He also served for two years as Elk County coroner.

After retirement, Robert and Marjorie moved to Surfside Beach, South Carolina, in 1976. He died on 31 January 1991; Marjorie died in 1997.

Isabel’s childhood followed her father’s oil-field employment through several states. In 1925, she married John Albert Geiss, born in Muncie, Indiana, to Jacob and Elizabeth (Wilson) Geiss.

They lived in Youngstown, Ohio, before moving to New York State. Their daughter was born in 1926.

John was construction superintendent for the L. C. Whitford Construction Company. He died after a short illness on 11 December 1960 in Wellsville, New York. Isabel lived until 9 April 1990.

Daniel was born in Lawrenceville and was still there with his family in 1910. By 1920, they had moved to Ranger, Texas.

In 1931, in Ohio County, West Virginia, he married. They had one son, born in 1932. The circumstances ending that marriage have not been established.

On 10 August 1937, Daniel married for the second time. They had two sons and one daughter and lived in Saginaw, Michigan. Daniel’s two marriages account for four known children.

Margaret was John and Carrie’s youngest child. The family was living in Crooksville, Perry County, Ohio, when she died of tuberculosis on 29 March 1932, reported aged sixteen.

She was buried at Lake Park Cemetery, Youngstown, Mahoning County, Ohio. Her parents were later buried there as well. No descendants are known.

Ed grew up in Kittanning and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Mines. He worked for the Shell Oil Company for thirty-two years as a petroleum geologist.

His work took him to Kansas, where he married Freda Harris on 18 June 1937, and later to other oil-producing regions. They lived in Centralia, Marion County, Illinois, in 1940 and in Houston, Texas, when Ed registered for the World War II draft on 16 February 1942.

Ed died on 11 January 1993; Freda died on 8 February 1993. Both were buried in Eldon, Miller County, Missouri. No children are known. The reported reversal of their birth dates on their shared gravestone is discussed below.

Theo completed four years of college and became a mathematics teacher at Manorville Junior High School. On 17 May 1928, he married Mary Mildred Wylie, daughter of John Curtis and Louise (Mangold) Wylie.

Their five children comprised two sons, born in 1928 and 1929, and three daughters, born in 1932, 1933, and 1939.

Mary, a homemaker, died suddenly of a coronary occlusion on 10 November 1953, aged forty-six. She was buried at West Glade Run Presbyterian Cemetery in East Franklin.

Theo retired and moved to Florida. He died in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, on 23 March 1978. His remains were returned to Pennsylvania for burial at the same cemetery as Mary.

Josephine and Albert’s third son was delivered stillborn. The family’s account of his record supplies no given name and does not specify complications or prematurity. He is included in the family’s three-child total.

Clarence was Lillie and Mike’s first child. The family account records his death from cholera infantum at three years of age, less than a month before his fourth birthday. No descendants are known.

Born in Armstrong County, Nellie moved with her parents to Reynoldsville by 1910. On 28 July 1927, she married Charles “Malcolm” Hughes, son of Robert and Mabel Grace (Sprague) Hughes.

By 1930, they lived in Cleveland, Ohio, where Malcolm worked in a steel mill. Their household included their first child, a brother of Malcolm, and Nellie’s brother George. They returned to Jefferson County by 1935.

Their five children comprised two sons and three daughters, born between 1929 and 1937.

Malcolm worked as a coal-company fire boss in 1940 and was described as a mine foreman and machinist in 1950. Nellie worked as a retail store clerk in 1950. The family account also associates them with a general store in Dempseytown, although its ownership and sale dates need reconciliation.

The account reports a move to New Mexico in 1955 because of Malcolm’s health. It also places Nellie in Franklin when her father died at her home in 1958; the intervening residence history remains to be clarified.

Malcolm died on 4 November 1964 in Las Vegas, San Miguel County, New Mexico. His remains were returned to Pennsylvania for burial at Graham Cemetery in Franklin.

Nellie died at seventy-four on 3 March 1981 at Elk Haven Nursing Home in St. Marys, where she had lived for five years. She was also buried at Graham Cemetery.

Joanna grew up in Reynoldsville and married Patrick O’Donnell. Their marriage-license notice appeared in The Jeffersonian-Democrat on 20 August 1925, when she was seventeen. That publication date does not establish the wedding date.

Patrick worked as a state-highway laborer and later as a miner. They had a daughter born in 1928 and a son born in 1931. Their son served in the U.S. Marine Corps, according to the family account.

Joanna and Patrick separated before 1950. Joanna and her son then lived with her daughter’s family in Hartford, Connecticut, where Joanna worked in hospital housekeeping.

Patrick later remarried and died on 20 February 1968 in Youngstown, Ohio. Joanna died on 10 February 1975 and was buried at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Hartford.

Donald was the eldest surviving son. At seventeen, he married Lillian Alliene Ridley, daughter of Valentine Bowser Ridley and Eveline May Early.

In 1930, Donald and Lillian were nineteen and lived in a rented home on Macomb Street in Monroe, Michigan, with their year-old son. Donald worked as a steel-mill shearman. Their census account also notes that the household had no radio.

The family grew to nine children: six sons and three daughters, born between 1929 and 1949. Later family references place them in Armstrong and Venango Counties, Pennsylvania, and describe Donald’s work on a WPA road project. The dates of these residences need to be compared with his railroad employment.

On 27 July 1945, Donald was hired by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The family’s employment-record account describes approximately eighteen years associated with the company, principally as a brakeman, first in its Arizona division and later in its Los Angeles division.

That employment included repeated reductions in force, with gaps of weeks or months followed by rehiring or transfer. It ended on 9 September 1963 with an annuity award.

Donald died in Los Angeles on 11 September 1969. Lillian died on 14 March 1979. Both were buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

George played the cornet. At sixteen, he lived with his sister Nellie’s family in Cleveland; the family’s census account describes him as neither employed nor attending school.

On 28 February 1933, aged nineteen, George sought entry to Canada at Windsor, Ontario, intending to work as a cornet player for Louis Fournier in Ottawa. The border record, as transcribed in the family research, records his application as rejected. The reason has not been established.

About four years later, George married Ruth “Marie” Kentner in Detroit. Her surname also appears as Kenner in the family summary. They had five children.

When George registered for the World War II draft in 1940, he worked at the Cottonwood Night Club at 48th and Tejon Streets in Denver, Colorado.

The family’s service account records U.S. Army enlistment on 9 January 1947 and an honorable medical discharge on 31 July 1953. After leaving the Army, George attended barber school and worked as a barber until retiring in 1976.

George died in Detroit on 2 September 1981, aged sixty-eight. His burial on 5 September is reported at National Memorial Gardens in Redford. Marie died in 1993 and is reported buried at Detroit Memorial Park West.

Kenneth was the youngest son. On 7 September 1940, he married Mary Grace Weinfurther. They settled in Etna, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and had three children.

Kenneth’s 1940 draft-registration account identifies his employer as the Natural Alloy Steel Company. A separate 1940 census entry for a trucker named Kenneth English in Tioga, Pennsylvania, remains a possible match.

By 1950, Kenneth worked as a steward at a social club. The family’s census account reports a check in the World War I service column, an entry incompatible with his 1917 birth. His actual military-service history needs confirmation from service records.

Kenneth died in 1986 and was buried at Saint Mary’s Cemetery in Sharpsburg, Allegheny County. Mary Grace died on 12 March 1998.

This daughter was Lillie and Mike’s youngest recorded child. The available family account supplies an approximate birth year but no verified marriage, death, or child details. Her later life remains a research question.
