I am searching for information on Joseph MELVIN m to Sarah CHAPMAN, my great
grandparents.
Joseph was born 18 March 1858 and died 1933
Sarah b. unknown died prior to 1933 per obit of Joseph
children:
Caroline E. MELVIN OBRIEN
Delah (Delah and Delbert were twins)
Delbert
Howard
Grace Irene MELVIN DANT b. 1899 d 1962
They lived in Vincennes Indiana.I didn't originally think Joseph was Catholic but
found out from an original obit that the funeral services were Catholic, he was, however
buried in Fairview Cemetery as opposed to Mount Calvary. Could be he was a carpenter by
trade. Joseph had a sister named Sarah Miller of Shoals. Joseph's mother and father
were William Melvin and Margret Dunlop MELVIN per obit. Have found only one sib other
than my grandmother and her descendent is unable to be of any help. If anyone has even a
clue I would be .
grateful.
