Just wanted to thank all the listers who helped me identify names and dates
involved in the marriage of Frederick James STAHL and Kathryn Louise STEVENS
on August 19, 1907. Frederick is son of Reuben STAHL and Barbara
STADTMILLER. Kathryn is daughter of John Kelly STEVENS and Clara MILLER.
Other info provided by listers (thought I'd put this in for any future
searchers through the archive):
Frederick STAHL d June 7, 1950; Catherine (Stevens) STAHL d July 17, 1954.
Both buried at Catholic Cemetery in Ft Wayne.
Regarding Catherine (Kathryn STEVENS) STAHL's parents:
John STEVENS m Clara MILLER April 17, 1879. (I already had data that John's
first wife, apparently Clara, d Nov 17, 1881, although that fact was listed
in the STEVENS family Bible under the name "Mary C. STEVENS.")
John K. STEVANS m Kate KELLY Oct 16, 1883. (She also subsequently died in
1884 after the birth of their son.)
John K. STEVENS m Theresa BLAISING June 14, 1887.
Thank you all! I can't believe how difficult it has been from here (CA) to
access local records regarding the names of each of the first two wives so
that each child would be listed with the correct mother. I had thought by
this posting to send for Catherine STAHL's death cert (as well as
William's--her half brother--in Chicago where he died) to figure this out,
but you all helped by-pass even that end-run. Except for the family Bible
puzzler (the entry for "Mary C STEVENS"), I think I have the facts well laid
out. Here's hoping the "C" stood for Clara!
