Hello!
My name is Donna and I am researching my great-grandmother's
family. Her name was Alice Capstick. She was born in England
in the mid 1850s and died in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania USA in
March, 1916. According to her obituary, she came to the United
States with her parents as a young child.
Alice owned and operated a grocery store in Conshohocken for many
years. She married Ellwood Lamar Woodward (known as Lamar) on
August 23, 1879 at Christ Old Swedes Church in Upper Merion, PA
and had the following children:
Sonnetton Brinton (known as Brinton) - b. 1880, d. 1923 m. Sue
Widdows
William Robert - b.1883, d. 1965 m. Golden Lathinghouse (my
grandparents)
Grace Alice - b. 1888, d. 1898
Myra Isabella - b.1891 - d. unknown m. Charles West and moved to
Ohio
Alice's husband 'took off' around 1900 and she raised the
children on her own. She attended Calvary Protestant Episcopal
Church in Conshohocken, PA and is buried in Gulph Christian
Cemetery in Gulph Mills, PA.
If this information is familiar to anyone, I would love to hear
from you!
Donna
