Thanks to a phone call from Joseph Hornsby, I learned of the death of
Cousin Helen R. Van Dusen, Feb. 17, 2005.
Helen, b. Aug 5, 1918 in Farmington Twp., Tioga Co., PA, was a dau. of
Eva Mildred Steadman, and Ross E. Van Dusen (1895 - 1924), son of Oscar
Adelbert Van Dusen and Ann Tubbs (1855 - 1930), dau. of George W. Tubbs
& Jane Campbell (1834 - 1916), dau. of Ann Clinch & Joseph Campbell
(1793 - 1864), son of Mary Harper (1749 - 1844) & Joseph Campbell (1748
- 1822).
Helen's husband was Campbell Cousin Francis Hall (1918 - 2001), her 4th
cousin, son of Vilettie Outhouse & Charles Burr Hall (1891 - 1982), son
of Edwin Jerimiah Hall & Mary Merritt (1858 - 1953), dau. of William
Merritt & Eliza Ann Hazlett (1825 - 1899), dau. of John Hazlett & Jane
Campbell (1792 - 1832), dau. of Mary Harper & Joseph Campbell.
It sometimes seems like almost everyone in Steuben Co., NY's Towns of
Troupsburg, Tuscarora & Lindley; and Tioga Co., PA's Northern townships
is connected, one way or another, to everyone else.
Belated condolences to Helen's family.
