She was an excellent woman with some peculiar ways. early in this century it became fashionable for ladies to wear tall bell-crowned beaver hats.

As late as 1836, I have seen Mrs. Thompson in New Hope Church wearing her tall bell-crown beaver hat."

Obituary contributed by "Ralph" and confirmed by Brad Scarbrough, the deceased's grandson.
Her parents are shown as James Scavella and Mary Dramis, both born in Italy. Informant was Angelo Tocci of Creekside, PA. Her occupation was listed as Retired housekeeper.
She was living with her son, Angelo, and his family (along with her 42 year old son James) in Creekside, PA at the time of the 1910 Federal Census. She was shown as born in Italy, with both her parents also born in Italy, all who spoke Italian as their native tongue. She was listed as widowed, and the mother of two children, both still living. More children are linked to her on Family Search, so this should be verified through primary sources.
From FindAGrave:
Lawrence was the son of Phillip Schaub and Mary "Edith" (Cramer) Schaub. He was a tool and dye maker at E. W. Bliss in Toledo, Ohio. He married Pauline Rose (Meyer) Schaub on 15 June 1927. They had one daughter, Shirley Jeanne.
From FindAGrave: She married Walter Bean on 6 June 1937. They had one daughter, Donivee. Mabel died of breast cancer at an early age. She is buried in the family plot and is next to her brother, Lawrence.
FindAGrave notes that he was a son of Martin Schabu and Catherine Herrmann, and that "Phillip immigrated to the USA with his father, mother and siblings shortly after his birth...his father didn't want his sons to go into the Kaiser's army so immigrated to the USA."
Josephine came to the United States in 1881 at the age of 18. She worked as a maid in Pittsburgh briefly before coming to the Milligan area in 1882 to homestead with her aunt and uncle, Barbara SVOBODA and John KOTAS. After being twice widowed, she established an enterprise serving meals to the public, with the help of her daughter Emma. (p 316).

As noted in the "Memoirs of John A. Benkelman" by Hilda Jane Stickley Benkelman, when Catherine and Adam first immigrated to the United States, they lived with her brother Johann Scheifle in Erie County New York. I was, however, unable to locate a Johann/John Scheifle on either the 1850 or 1860 census. I did find a Gottlieb Scheifly on both however.
Hilda Jane further wrote that "Catherine was a favorite in the community. She was jolly and fat, a very good cook of German style dishes, and a mother to everyone in the neighborhood. A good midwife, she was called in by the neighbors in case of sickness or for confinements as there were few doctors around at that time. She helped bring more than 100 babies into the world. "
Catherine made a home for her nephew, Leonard Buerhly, when he first came to Cass City. Leonard was the son of her sister Marie.

Died Suddenly
Mrs. Catherine Benkelman, aged eighty-three years, died suddenly at her home on East Main street Sunday evening, December 23. While eating with Mrs. M. M. Schwegler she suddenly became unconscious from which condition she did not recover. She has been troubled with heart disease for many years.
Catherine Scheifele was born August 23, 1823 in Boertlingen, Germany. In the year 1837 she was confirmed. She was united in marriage to Adam Benkelman in Germany in 1851 and they came to America the same year, living in Bowmansville, N.Y., until 1865. That year they came to Cass City, residing on a farm northeast of town. By hard work and frugal living Mr. and Mrs. Benkelman acquired a goodly portion of property and in 1884 they retired from active life and move to town to spend their remaining days. Mr. Benkelman died nine year ago on the 27?sup?th?/sup? of December and nearly ever since that time Mrs. Benkelman had resided with Mrs. M.M. Schwegler on east Main street, the ladies enjoying each other's companionship to the fullest extent. Mr. and Mrs. Benkelman were the parents of seven children, one daughter dying at the age of fifteen. The remaining children, five sons and one daughter, are: George A. of St. Francis, Kansas, William F. of Owosso, Benjamin F., Samuel G. and John A. Benkelman and Mrs. Louisa Schwegler of this place. She also leaves twenty-five grandchildren and one great grandchild.
All her children were present at the funeral services which took place Thursday forenoon at the Evangelical church of which the deceased was an honored and beloved member, and the burial was made in Elkland cemetery. The pallbearers were five sons and a grandson, W.J. Schwegler. The funeral service was largely attended.
Mrs. Benkelman was a lady of beautiful character, loving and kind in disposition and will be missed by many who found in her a good neighbor and friend.

Gottlieb would have been born ca. 1825. Kathy Bonnell's transcription of Baptismal records do not show a son named Gottlieb born at that time. Catherine did have a brother Johannes born ca. 1828. Could his middle name be Gottlieb? Could he be the child named Gottlob born ca 1830? The baptismal records, however, show that son died ca. 1843.
Ingholf Vogel, from the SURNAME-ORIGINS-L@rootsweb.com, writes that "Scheifele and Sch?ufele are the same name. Scheifele is the way people would say Sch?ufele (shovel) in parts of south-western Germany. I'm sure an expert on Suabian and Allamanian could tell you exactly which regions say Sch?ufele and which say Scheifele. If you ever visit the area ask the locals. I'm always surprised that some can even tell where others are from (even the village !) just by the sound of their dialect.
As for the meaning - that could be: 1) Suabian for fruit trader. 2) South-West German from Sch?ufele for a small shovel for a person that worked with the same.
The spelling of the name today is based simply on how one of your ancestors pronounced it or on how a certain priest wrote in down. It may be that one of the explanations is more likely for a particular region than another - but that's another question for the regional specialists.
BonnieMargaret Jacobs, in her 1981 unpublished manuscript about the Benkelman family, cites the same meaning.

Appendicitis Causes Death of Clayton A. Schenck
Was Ill But Two Weeks; Funeral Friday Afternoon at Evangelical Church
Clayton A. Schenck passed away Wednesday morning following an operation for appendicitis which he underwent at Pleasant Home hospital Monday evening. He had been ill about two weeks.
Clayton Arthur Schenck was born on the Schenck farm two miles northwest of Cass City on May 30, 1891. He attended the public school here until he completed the tenth grade and then devoted his attention to farming, assisting his father, Travis Schenck, on the latter's farm.
On April 29, 1913, he was united in marriage with Miss Alma Striffler and to this union two children were born.
Mr. Schenck has been a member of the Evangelical church since 1914 and was very active and faithful in the various church organizations and services. He was also an efficient member of the Cass City Band. He was a young man of strong character and clean habits. It is hard to give up one whose influence among men has been for good and who by precept and example was so well calculated to spread abroad the influence of godly living. The community extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved family.
Besides his wife and two small children, Donald, age 5 years, and Ruth, 2 yrs, he leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Travis Schenck, two brothers, Stanley Schenck of Chisholm, Minn., and Verne Schenck of Detroit and one sister, Mrs. John McGrath, jr., of Cass City.
Funeral services will be held at the Evangelical church this (Friday) afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. A.H. Butzbach officiating.

In a letter dated August 9, 1935, written by A.D. Hiller, Executive Assistant to the Administrator, Veterans Administration, Washington, it was noted that Adam Schlott of York County was a pensioner of the Revolutionary War.
The Revolutionary War Record which follows was obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W.2870, based upon his service in that war.
"John Adam Schlott was born on 26 December 1761 in "Hessee Cassele", Middelsie, District of Schwartzenfeld, Germany. The names of his parents are not given.
While residing in Berks County, Pennsylvania he enlisted sometime in August 1776, and served one month as a Private in Captian John Golden's company under Colonel Dickender in the Pennsylvania troops; he immediately enlisted in the Flying Camp and served six months in Captain Jacob Bower's Company, Colonel Haller's regiment and was in the battle of White Plains.
He was allowed pension on his application executed January 8, 1833, then a resident of Windsor Township, York County, Pennsylvania, where he had moved in 1788 from Berks County. He died August 3, 1833.
John Adam Schlott married April 29, 1788, Catharina Holderrien. It is not shown where they married; the place of her birth is not given, nor are the names of her parents stated.
The soldier's widow, Catharina Schlott, was allowed pension on her application executed June 17, 1839, then aged seventy-two years, eight months and twenty-five days, and living in Windsor Township, York County, Pennsylvania.
The following are the names of their children as found in the claim:
John Migel born March 7, 1789 Elisabeda born March 3, 1791 Johannes born October 8, 1792 Kaderina born July 20, 1794 Maria born March 18, 1797 Rebecka born April 29, 1799 Sofyia born January (?) 23, 1802 Machtdelena born August 11, 1805"
In 1941, the Rev. Edward C. Ruby, D.D., prepared a paper titled "Data Concerning Several Branches of the SCHLOTT, SLOAT, FAMILIES IN THE UNITED STATES (York, Pennsylvania). He noted that Johan Adam Schlott arrived on the ship "Union" from Rotterdam, and qualified on September 30, 1774. He cites the Penna. Archives, 2nd series, 17th Vol.---Immigrants.
He further noted that the Pennsylvania census of 1790 contains the names of- Michael Slutt -1-4-4 (4 sons under 16 and three daughters) Adam Slutt -1-1-1 (1 son under 16).
His paper supports the children listed above as children of Adam and Catharina. He obtained their names and birthdates from records at the Canadochly Lutheran Church in York, Pennsylvania.
He also wrote that Adam Schlott's Will is recorded at the York County Court House. In the will, which was made on August 25, 1832, and probated on September 3, 1833, the following children were mentioned: Michael; Elizabeth, wife of Jacob Liphart; John; Catharine, wife of John Kramer; Anna Maria, wife of George Atting; Rebecca, wife of Wm. Matthias; Sophia, wife of George Dellinger; and Magdelena, wife of Adam Kromling.
The Slothower family of York County are descendants of Niclaus Schlotthauer, b. abt 1730 of Hesse Cassel, Germany and his wife Anna Elisabeth. Many of the family changed their name to Schlott and Sloat.
Niclaus and Anna Elisabeth had the following children:
Heinrich Anthon Schlotthauer, b. 14 Oct 1753 chr. at Sherman's (St. David's) Union in West Manheim Twp, York, PA. Maria Christina Schlotthauer, b. 23 Dec 1755 chr. at Sherman's Union Johan Michael Schlotthauer, chr. 26 Jun 1757 (Rev. Jacob Lischey's Record) Christinia Elisabetha Schlotthauer, b. 2 Apr 1759 chr. at Sherman's Union Anna Margreth Schlotthauer, chr. 10 May 1761 (Rev. Jacob Lischy's Record) Johan Adam Schlotthauer, b. 26 Dec 1761, (Canadochly Church Cemetery) Peter Schlotthauer, (Name from St. Matthew's (Hanover) and Strayer's (West Manchester Twp.)) Magdalena Schlotthauer, b. 3 Dec 1770 chr. St. Matthew's (Hanover)
I come through the above Johan Michael Schlotthauer who shortened the name to Schlott.
NAME, BIRTH, & DEATH: SCHLOTT FAMILIES IN THE U.S., PG 14. REVOLUTIONARY WAR VETERAN. BURIED CANADOCHLY CHURCH. CAME TO AMERICA ON SHIP UNION AND TOOK THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE AT PHILADEL PHIA ON 30 SEP 1774
Anna Margaretha (Schmidt), wife of Daniel Cramer, on the baptismal records of her daughter, Eva Elisabetha Cramer. Often shown as the daughter of Heinrich SCHMIDT.
However, Scott Michael Troutman, smtroutman@atlanticbb.net, in February 2005, had the following in his notes about the family of Heinrich and Anna Margaretha SCHMIDT: "Research of William S. CRAMER in Smith family file 2711, 1992, York Historical Society Library states that "Henry Smith emigrated aboard the ship Pennsylvania Merchant 11 Sept 1731 (Strassberger & Hicke pps 43,45,46.) List as Johan Hendrick Smit and Johan Hennrich Schmidt with Margarite Smit (his wife). Children also include a Rosina Smit.
Daughter Anna Margaretha is thought to be married to Daniel Kramer. Info in the Smith family file at York Historical Society give her birth as 1740, death 1803. However, she is listed in fathers will ca 1771 as married to Jacob Harbaugh, and NOT Daniel Kramer. IF Daniel Kramer died before 1771, or if Anna Margareta divorced and remarried, this might be possible. Otherwise, the information that Anna Margaretha Schmidt-the daughter of Heinrich Schmidt-was married to Daniel Kramer MAY BE IN ERROR."
Clarence E. Cramer writes that "The 1779 Tax Records show Helfer Cramer then owned a farm of 124 acres in Codorus Township (see page 12), and his mother is listed seperately as "Widow GRAMER" with the parental acres." (P. 52)
In September, 1815, Helfrig Cramer was the administrator of the Estate of Anna N. Cramer, widow, of Codorus Township. Tenet in $200. Inventory filed March 11, 1816. Account filed December 24, 1816, shows a balance of $9. 41 1/2.

Vivian Schoenfeld Solares found eternal peace on June 15, 2022, at 10:35 am, with her family by her side at the age of 82 years old, with her final words being "I'm ready to go".
Vivian was born March 11, 1940, in New Orleans, Louisiana to Eugene and Vivian Schoenfeld and was the second of five children. Vivian lived a full and eventful life as she grew up in New Orleans. She attended high school at the Academy of the Sacred Heart and graduated from Dominican College. While growing up in New Orleans, Vivian enjoyed spending time with her grandmother, Mere. Vivian was the family historian, and told many stories about grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and even family pets.
Vivian was always ready to face challenges head on, and was often an outside the box thinker, inventing many things throughout her life to help with her day-to-day living. There was never a challenge or project that was too big for Vivian, she always did things little by little until they were completed. After starting a family in 1963, Vivian and her husband moved to Thibodaux, Louisiana where they had three more children, before settling into her home in Harahan, Louisiana in 1972. It was in her house in Harahan where Vivian raised her four children and would eventually help raise her grandchildren at different stages of their lives. Vivian, a teacher by profession, made it a point to show her children and grandchildren the importance of education and hard work.
During her life Vivian was able to imprint lifelong lessons on her family and friends that will carry on her legacy. As Vivian liked to say, "despite everything that happened it was a wonderful life". Vivian also loved gardening and going to her cabin in Kiln, Mississippi.
Vivian will be missed dearly by those who knew her. Vivian was preceded in death by her husband Sigmund A. Solares, her father Eugene M. Schoenfeld, her mother Vivian M. Schoenfeld and her brothers Eugene M. and Robert M. Schoenfeld.
Vivian is survived by her older sister Kathleen S. Casey, her younger brother Noel D. Schoenfeld, her four children Jessica S. Cristina, Rachel R. Solares, Vivian S. Cahill, and Sigmund J. Solares (Brandy), her eight grandchildren Ashley F. Millet (Jordan), Madeline Cristina, Michael Cristina, Alexandra V. Demac, Olivia R. Demac, Corey C. Cahill, Ryan W. Demac, Arden J. Demac and great-grandchild Leo D. Millet.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend the memorial service in the chapel of Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. in New Orleans, on Monday, June 27, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. Visitation will be held at the funeral home beginning at 9:00 a.m. Per
Vivian's request, absolutely no flowers. Instead, please make donations to the Ozanam Inn in New Orleans, Louisiana.

How, if at all, is Anna Cora Schoff connected to this family? Cheboygan (County)
Anna Cora Schoff to Herbert Randall 17 Sept 1879, Washtenaw County, MI Source: Marriages for Washtenaw County, MI USGENWEB
However, if Anna Schoff married in 1879, she must have been born sometime before 1863, so she is too old to be a child of John and Margaret. Perhaps she is some other relation?
When she applied for her Social Security Account in 1942, her last name was listed as Anderson, and she was a co-owner of Anderson Pennywise Drug Store at 5436 S. Tacoma Way in Tacoma, Washington. She indicated that her last full time job, with Anderson, had ended on October 20, 1941. She listed her home address as Box 193 in South Tacoma.

Was employed by the Bozeman Canning Company in Mt. Vernon, Washington at age 16, when he applied for his Social Security number. This application is also the source for his mothers maiden name.
I, Frances Gertrude, was the seventh of eight children born
to Mary and Joseph Schopf in Spokane, WA, on December 16, 1915, the
blizzardiest night of the year. The doctor couldn't even get out. A neighbor
lady was there to help my mom. My first three years of school were at the
Adams grade school, then Sacred Heart where I graduated in 1929. High
school was at Marycliff and college at Holy Names in Spokane and Maryhurst
in Portland, Oregon. In the 1930's, jobs were scarce so I went to comptometer
school. Finally, I got a job working for a contractor building the Navy Supply
Depot in the valley.
December 7, 1941 and we were at war. The fall of l942 a visiting Navy
recruiting team was in Spokane so I went to see them and joined them. Cedar
Falls for boot camp, Bloomington, Indiana for Storekeeping School, Memphis,
TN, and at NAS, Hilo, Hawaii until the end of the war.
On February 13, 1943 we sailed from San Francisco out under the Golden Gate
Bridge headed for Hawaii. Since it was wartime, we went blacked-out. The
first three nights the sky was overcast so the green phosphorescent lights in
the water made the sea unbelievably beautiful, like emeralds on water. We
were on the converted Lurliner. Instead of private staterooms we had threedeep
bunks. I was glad to be in a bottom one. We were happy to have Navy
raincoats with liners. The further we went the warmer it got; by Sunday
morning when we arrived it was very warm. The band was out to meet us.
Our group of 60 was the last to be assigned.
The officer in charge said she couldn't tell us where we were going, only that it
rained a lot. She was right. Hilo is one of the rainiest places, but the soil is
black as coal and is never muddy. It rained at least every day. I was assigned
to the supply department and was in charge of one-third of the Quonset huts
for receiving and storing all of our supplies. I didn't think it was funny when a
tarantula came in with one of our shipments. When they finally dropped a
case of shoes on it, I was relieved.
The day the war ended we were restricted to quarters for safety's sake, but they
opened the beer hall. We had signed up for the duration and six months, but
they sent us home as fast as they could and so ended one of the most exciting
times in my life.
According to Jay Ingalls, he was married with two children.
Was this one of his daughters? He would have been age 52 at her birth. Perhaps a granddaughter?
Betty C. Turner Betty C. Turner, 65, born December 18, 1935, to George and Viola Schopf, passed away March 12, 2001. Preceded in death by her mother and father; sister, Rosie; and precious granddaughter, Tatianna.
Survived by her loving husband, Leslie of 43 years; four sons, Dan, Jeff (Lori), Ron (Rhonda, beloved friend and "daughter"), Ken; grandchildren, Christie, Tracy, Sarah, Savannah, Jason and Alex, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Betty was devoted to her family and loved her grandchildren whom she called her little angels. They now call her their big angel. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her.
