Notes for LIDA LYDIA ALIDA MINGOS:
1878 Jun Lida's m document show her father was Alonzo Mingos?! This is not the case. Alonzo & Cornelia simply raised Lida (ie grandparents). The 1900 census shows Mary Ann Mingos Pearsall as having 1 child living. This is the only logic for Lydia's mother - It is natural that the baby remained in the mothers family. A search of BCHS card file showed no m date for Frank Pearsall and Mary Ann Mingos. Other possibles were searched in detail , but nothing proofed out. Of Alonzo's single four sons,
Frank d.1882 and Abram d.1883. Both other sons Warren & Charles are still single in 1880, and Warren has been sent off to Boiceville in Thompkins Co NY? Warren is also a candidate as he remains single until late in his life- abt 1911. Charles m Belle Ackley about 1880 - 30 yrs of m in 1910 census.
1879,Feb Lida is b and no information on Mary Ann Mingos is known at this time.Towanda Twp, Alonzo's family is now on the Tow - Monroeton road at Coles Farm Cemetery. Maybe Mary Ann Mingos is with him?(extensive searches did not find them in 1870 census of Bradford Co).
1880 census Towanda Twp, Pg 42, Heritage Quest listed with Alonzo Mingos and Cornelia - living on Monroeton/Towanda road above the Coles Cem. Lydia May age 1 boarder b. Pa fa Pa moth Pa . Rootsweb.com has Relation : Granddaughter! Tri Co web site now Aug 2008 has Lydia May boarder age 1- ref page on Heritage Quest.
1880 census Towanda Boro Mary Ann b 1850 is married to Frank Pearsall in 2nd ward Towanda.
1880 census Monroe Twp Abraham Mingos(b 1860) is on the farm on Hollon Hill, Mingos St, with Joseph's family ( brother of Alonzo) in Coonrad's original house.
1881 Abram Mingos is commited to the Bradford Co home. No record of a mariage.
1886 After Alonzo's death, and deaths of his sons Frank & Abram, Cornelia and LeGrand moved to Towanda Boro, and by 1891 Frank Pearsall dies. It seems to me that Cornelia and Mary Ann Pearsall shared in raising Lida. There may be some school records of 1st,2nd and 3rd ward schools - Lida did not graduate from Towanda High. 1st graduation 1893. Maybe she only did 8 grades as others did in that era. A search of 1884 -1890 Towanda school records did not find Lida. Why Cornelia played such a big part in Lida's life we do not know, but 3 times she is associated with Lida - 1880 census, 1900 census and the m record.
The verbal story of Faith Hurd is that Lydia lived with a Main family? I'm wondering if someone misheard the name Main instead of a very soft Ming with the os swallowed and not heard. Mary Ann (Mingos) Pearsall lived with Warren Mingos at 15 N MAIN St. - so that is Main.
Amy Shelley m an Ira Main and lived in Potter Co, Pa by the 1870 census. Amy was a great aunt to Delbert Shelley and she d. in 1905 (Delbert = 16 yrs). I see no possible way Lida could have lived with any Main family until the 1930.s when she & Delbert moved to Potter Co.
1900 census Towanda Boro Warren Mingos N Main St Towanda 3rd Ward H 140 F 151 Lines 49 & 50 are blacked out-unreadable. Mary A Pearsall top of next page. sister b Jan 1850 Wd! 1ch 1 living !!! housekeeper Y Y Y.
Towanda directory - Warren Mingos h 15 N Main St.
This is only empirical proof of Lida's mother, however there is no other known Mingos child in this era (JFM).
1900 census found her!! Alida Mingus Broome Co NY Union Twp Servant b Feb 1879 Single Pa Pa Pa She's in the same Lestershire Village as Cornelia. Servant with Ernest Benjamin b 1880 Grant Ave. house #90 . Legrande Mingos house # is 45 on Hudson St.
Lestershire Village no longer exits, but it is a part of Johnson City, just off Main St. towards Binghamton. There was a Lestershire Record Newspaper starting in 1896-19uu.NO copies exist.
Perhaps a marriage record of her Shelley m would also confirm her parents? I have talked to the Union (Township) clerk and there is no m record for L Mingus between 1901 -1908. Also talked to the clerk at Alma Town, NY and she had no Shelley m or b. of children starting in 1908. (1907 record book- can't find) It's likely this marriage is in Belmont, the county seat, with the Historian.
1903 We do not know the exact date of Cornelia's death(between 1900 & 1910 census) . Lida may have come back to the Monroeton area after Cornelia died. In Powell there was the mansion associated with the largest tannery in the world which could have been a place of housework.
1904 October 1st. LIDA MINGOS marries HARRY SMITH. source Pa marriage application from Bradford Co Historical Society, Book 15, page 425. . Harry - farmer age 21, Lida - housework age 22(25)
Parents: Dominie & Mate Smith , Alonzo and Cornelia Mingos. m at Monroeton D.M.Hinman, Justice of the Peace. In 1900 Edward Mingos lived next to the Hinman Hotel on Main Street.
1904 Oct 20 Bradford Argus Newspaper. marriage Licenses: Harry Smith and Lida Mingos both of Powell.
1905 There is a NY only census available. Possible "other marriages" - Mr Phelps. There is no other m for Lida in Bradford Co , so somehow she must get to Tioga Co,Pa or Alma NY for her m to Delbert Shelley. A review of the S&NY railroad lines shows no indirect lines into the above area. Maybe she took work near the Shelley's? and Harry Smith shows in 1897 in Athens with a family
1908 m Delbert Shelley . The 1910 census says Lina M2 2 yrs, that is married twice.

1940Jan 7 Lida & Delbert's home burnt in Millport, Pa( NW of Coundersport). Lewis & Gladys Shelley Halladay lived upstairs & she was pregnant with son Maxwell E. Halladay. Son Marvin Lewis Halladay died in the fire. Apparently Delbert & Lida were not home at the time of the fire, and Lewis and Gladys were lucky to get out .
Pictures of the fire are with Faith Halladay Hurd. I suppose all or any of Lida's memorabilia was lost in the fire.
194X Ray Shelley b.1922 and his wife Irene lived with Lida and Delbert - Oswaygo.
195X There is a picture of Lida Shelley with Edward/Edwin A Shelley. In 1920 census of Mckean Co, Bradford Twp house 77 80 Shelley,Edward A rents age 19 b NY NY NY laborer Chemical factory Wf Millei age 20 He must be a nephew of Delbert? 1910 census of Alma,NY he is shown as Edwin, age 9 under Uriah Phelps age 67. in the same dwelling #184 as Adelbert and Lina.
1956 There is a paper with Faith Halladay of the admittance of Lida to the Mckean County Home. It has some unclear info on "other marriages" -ie Mr Phelps.
2008,June contact with Faith Halladay Hurd of Coudersport Pa . She is the granddau of Lida faith_hrd@yahoo.com
2008, June I have run many searches on census and Tri Co Web site. No hard evidence on the father of Lida, but it now appears that Mary Ann Mingos b 1850 is Lida's mother. Alida used the Mingus surname in the 1900 census and Mingos in her 1st marriage in 1904. It's Mingus on the Old Folks application,(..us) is used in NY.
2008, Oct 9 From the BradCoHistSoc is Lida's 1st marriage, and no further hits on her other m.
