FREEMAN: I am seeking information on my wife's great grandfather, Arthur O. Freeman.  He was murdered in Limestone, New York, in 1910.  A transcription of his obituary in the Cameron County Press (dated Thursday July 14 1910) says he "leaves a widow, nee Kathryn Raszman, of  Shippen, and a daughter Helen".  Arthur was still living at the time of the 1910 census, but he was enumerated with his parents Eldred and Martha FREEMAN in Norwich, McKean County, Pennsylvania -- and, curiously, he is listed with "S" under "marital status", which was supposed to indicate that he was single.  Kathryn FREEMAN and daughter Helen were enumerated twice:  once with Kathryn's parents Henry and Lena  RASZMANN in Portage, Cameron County, Pennsylvania; and once with Kathryn's brother William RASZMANN in Emporium East Ward, Cameron County, Pennsylvania.  In both cases, her marital status is given as M1, 4 (meaning, in her first marriage for four years).  There is some suggestion from family tradition that there were problems in the marriage, and the census would seem to support this.  Interestingly, when Kathryn lived with her brother, a next door neighbor was Charles BARTON -- who I believe was kin to Martha BARTON, wife of Eldred FREEMAN and mother of Arthur. Any information on Arthur or his family would be appreciated, but I am especially interested in proving the marriage between Arthur and Kathryn. Thank you. Gary Bookhammer" <garybook@sbcglobal.net

(EVERETT,ROBERTS) I am looking for any information on my g g grandparrents. Mary was born in PA around 1838, and Edward was born in MA, year unknown. They had at least 3 known children: Stephen b. around 1862, a daughter name and birth date unknown and Edward Jr, born 1881. We think the first two children may have been from a first marriage of Mary's, but that is pure speculation due to the 20 year difference between Stephen and Edward, as well as the older age of Mary at the birth of Edward. Edward Jr. was born in PA and married Sadie Oneil in either Ceres or Genesee and they lived in Shinglehouse and Eldred areas. They had children: Eric, Charles Ulrich, Neil, Wayne, and Marion. The children and Edward were in Texas in 1920 and in WA by 1928.

Hello: I'm trying to locate my Martin relatives from around 1880 until 1914. My grandmother, Olive, was born March 6, 1882 in Knapp Creek, New York as was her brother Herbert (Nov 6, 1887) and Henry B. Jr. (April 7, 1890). Her sister Dora was born in Pennsylvania in 1880. My great-grandfather's name was Henry Bristol Martin, listed on the 1900 census in Buffalo, N.Y. as an "oil producer". He was married to Flora Kittell in ?. Henry Bristol Martin was born June 8, 1857 in New York and his wife Flora was born in 1860 - also in New York. Flora Kittell Martin allegedly died on Sept 28, 1914 in Duke Center. Perhaps there was an obituary in the Duke Center or Bradford paper. Her husband, Henry Bristol Martin, died in 1909 in ?. I have letters to my grandmother, Olive, dated 1904 addressed to Duke Center. Also, her mother Flora allegedly died in Duke Center in 1914 even though she's listed in the 1910 census as living at 605 Bird Ave, Buffalo, N.Y. Did Flora have a residence or relative in Duke Center? I also have pictures of an oil well in a rural setting with perhaps my great-grandfather Henry Bristol Martin standing beside it (wood derrick). Because of the proximity of Knapp Creek, N.Y. to Duke Center, the family could have lived very close to the state line. For this reason, I have also made an inquiry to Cattaraugus County, New York. Do you have any information about this family? I'd be glad to reimburse you for any expenses involved. Thanks in advance.
