Hill married Esther Rockwell, daughter of Levi and Mary Rockwell, of Beaver Dams, N.Y., and the happy couple rounded out over fifty years of married life, most of which was spent in their present comfortable home, built in 1875, corner of Main and Mill streets.  To them were born three children; one son, Lee, who died in July 1890, aged 20 years; and two daughters, Phyllis Louise, who died in April 1914, aged 24, the wife of Morton C. Brant, of this place, and Mamie, now the wife of Floyd H.  Brant, of Elmira, N.Y.  He is survived by his very estimable widow, and the one daughter, Mrs. F.

Brant, and by two grandsons, Gordon and Glenn Brant, sons of his deceased daughter, Phyllis Louise and Morton C.

Melbourne Riffle and Rev HG Robers officiating; burial in the Lawrenceville cemetery.

 

HON. GEORGE T. LOSEY, of Lawrenceville, was stricken with apoplexy last Saturday afternoon and survived just twenty-four hours, during which time he never regained consciousness.  He was 65 years old and was one of the most prominent Odd Fellows in Northern Pennsylvania.  He also represented this county in the lower house of the Legislature during the sessions of 1889-92.  A correspondent writes: “Mr. Losey had been a resident of Lawrenceville for years and had held every office of honor of which the town was capable of bestowing.  Always associated with every prominent movement, he grew to be indispensable in the administration of the town’s affairs.  Besides his wife he is survived by one son and two daughters – Frank Losey and Mrs. W. W. Hutchinson of Lawrenceville and Mrs. H. J. VanNorman of Mansfield.  The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon and the services were conducted by the Odd Fellows, nearly every lodge in the county being represented.  (Buried Lawrenceville Cemetery  -b.

Death of Mr. Isaac Losey
At the age of ninety years Mr. Isaac Losey, a respected citizen, died at the home of his son Myron at Elmira, NY, last Thursday evening. Six years ago Mr Losey moved to Elmira to reside with his son from Lawrenceville, where he spent the most of his life. The deceased was a prominent Odd Fellow and in that order was as much looked up to and admired as he was in the community in which he resided. Wednesday afternoon Mr Losey fell from the cellar-way and his advanced age and the physical shock he sustained resulted in a stroke of paralysis a few hours later. Mr Losey's demise is deeply regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He was a man of fine character and a lovable disposition and of the kind of men that help make the name of a community. In Lawrenceville and Elmira his death will be sincerely mourned. He was buried by the side of his wife in the village cemetery at Lawrenceville on Saturday. He is survived by two sons, Myron Losey, of Elmira and Hon. George T. Losey of Lawrenceville.

       Hi Dave, Thanks for the information. I am unable to determine which page on the site it refers to. If you can let me know that, I will add it to that page. Please resubmit the whole thing below so I can just copy and paste it to the correct place on the site.  If you can transcribe the Bible records that you have I will be glad to add them to the Bibles section of the site.  Joyce M.

         April 2005 - Hi Joyce! My name is David Griffiths, and several of my McLean and Lichtenthaeler ancestors are burried in the cemetery at Lawrenceville. So you can imagine how pleased I was to receive from Karen Klos your "Tri-Counties Genealogy and Hitory."  On the basis of portraits, Bibles, letters, and apprenticeship certificates I am able to render more exact some of your information. But first a little background.
    My Lichtenthaeler ancestory can be traced back to Rodenbach bei Neuwied, in Rhineland Germany. Albert Lichtenthaeler was the family patriarch.What we think was the eldest sone, Matthias, left for the United States in 1784. We have a copy of the first letter he sent home to his parents, dated 1785. He was followed in 1790 by two of his younger brothers, Jakob and Adolph. All three settled in Pennsylvania, although Adolph made Lititz his home. Jakob, on the other hand, died young, and his young family headed West, eventually ending up in Oregon in the early 1850s. So it is the line of Matthias that interests us.
    Matthias married a widow by the name of Kline or Klein, who already had children by her first husband. They lived in or near Thompson town, and apparently kept a distillery there. They had four sons and a daughter named Mary, who married a Mr. Benner. They had a daughter, also named Mary; but at that point the line vanishes. Now the four brothers:  Albert, Phillip, Griffith, and Jacob. Albert had no children, while Phillip died quite young. Much of Griffith's family settled down in Lock Haven and Williamsport, Pa.
    But Jacob settled down in Lawrenceville, Pa. after having served an apprenticeship as  a potter in Lititz, under the supervision of his uncle, Adolph (I have his apprenticeship certificate as well as a whiskey flask he potted).. (Jacob's father Matthias had died in about 1816., and so Jacob was sent to his uncle to learn a trade.)  Jacob married Mary Schuyler (I have the date somewhere), and they proceeded to have four daughters.  They died within weeks of each other in 1871. I have lots of material  relating to Jacob and Mary, including a letter appointing Jacob Justice of the Peace, and photos of him and his wife taken in (as I recall) 1849.
     Jacob and Mary Lichtenthaeler had four daughters but no sons: The daughters were: Mary (naturally), Elizabeth, Effie Ann, and Keziah. Keziah married a ReverendYork, and died in childbirth in 1860. She is the "York" who is the last mentioned person on your list. Elizabeth, as I recall, left for California, to be followed by Elizabeth. But we are interested in Effie Ann.
     Effie Ann Lichtenthaeler (not Eva Ann, as the list has it) married an immigrant from Alness, Scottland by the name of George Hector McLean (note the spelling of McLean). I have a delightful glass plate photograph of George McLean sawing wood in front of his house in Lawrenceville in -- I would guess -- about 1865 or 1870. I also have several photographs of a bridge across the (Susquehanna?) River, taken at the same time. they too are on glass plate.
    OK: now we go to the next generation. George and Efiie Ann McLean had two daughters, and no sons. Mary Schuyler McLean was my great aunt, and I lived with her when I did my graduate work at Columbia University. in the early 1960s. So her I knew well. At one point she was assumed to be the oldest living graduate of the University of California at Berkeley; but she refused to tell the U Cal people just how old she was. She was also among the first class of women to get their PhDs from Yale. She also served as social secretary to the Maharajah of Baroda, in India from 1900-1905. But she never married.
    Her sister Katherine McLean, my grandmother, married Dr. Mark Seward Purdy. Please note that she is listed twice on your list: as Katherine McLean, and as Katherine McLean Pudy. They are one and the same person.
    To finish up, Catherine and Mark Purdy had four children: Dorman, who married but had no children, Donald, who never married, Dorothy,  who married James Roland Hillas and  had two boys and a girl, and Charlotte Elizabeth, who married George W. Griffiths. They were my parents.
    So there you have it: far more information than you could ever want. But I do have many dates ain my materials at home; and if you should want them, I will be happy to try to hunt them up.(Griffiths@unc.edu)
