I have written Troy CEASE. He seems to be related to me and seems to
have the info on my side of the family.
I don't have a lot of information and would love to speak with Troy. My
grandmother was Adda CEASE born around 1877 in Luzerne County, Pa. She
married Sterling Hartman and had 5 sons. Divorced him and married LeRoy
Smith, moved to Buffalo and they had three sons. 3 months before the
last was born. Leroy was put in a mental institution and never came out.
She brought up her sons alone working , doing wash at home. She died
around 1956 and is buried in Buffalo. Please someone I would love to
have the roots to this woman as my father never knew this family or the
hartmans.Thats another story. Melva
