Looking for any information on Conrad Henson Zeigler in Pennsylvania, my great
grandfather. He had three brothers Joseph, Jacob and I don’t know the name of the third.
Conrad married Mae Green. Their son Guy is my grandfather. When Guy was 4 years old (in
1900) he was told his father died. My mother's family grew up thinking he had been
crushed between two trains in 1900. He worked on the Pennsylvania Railroad in Alatoona.
My uncle (Robert Zeigler) recently found a letter dated 1918 and it was written to Boy Guy
(my grandfather) and signed Dad. In the letter he asks if Guy has heard from his
mother(Mae Green Zeigler) and Robert (Steevers-his stepfather). This was written 18 years
after Conrad supposedly died. He might have also gone to California in 1900. I would
appreciate any help or information anyone can give, as this is a new mystery in my family.
My grandfather's name is Guy Zeigler who married Hazel Groce.
