Sorry for the mix-up earlier, I now understand 'where' I am...
My grandmother, Irene A. Cease, died at age 97, about 3 years ago. Be-
sides my children, there is no one on this earth I have loved more. My
father, her son, died 2 years ago. So now, it is 'safe' for me to dig
into my family history.
As a child, when any questions were brought up in regards to my grand-
mother's parents, I was told, "nevermind", you don't need to
know".
I now know, that my grandmother's mother was in prison for several
years. What crime she commited, is still a mystery.
My great-grandfather was Adelbert Cease. Sometimes called Dell, as well
as Delbert. He was born Feb. 1853. My great-grandmother was Nellie
Van Every Eighmey Cease, she was born in May of 1878. (At the time of
their marriage, she was 18, and he was 53).
I know that Addison Cease was my ggfather's brother, and Pauline was
their mother.
From the 1900 census, I know that my great-grandparents lived in
Poland
Township, Chatauqua, N.Y.. But my grandmother, Irene, was born in 1901,
in Warren, Pa.
From the web-site I visited today, I can see that there were
Cease's in
Pa., as well as NY..
