bullet Mary E. GENSAMER was born on 3 Apr 1862.(3316) (3317) (3318) She died on 8 Apr 1863.(3319) (3320) (3321) Parents: Samuel S. GENSAMER and Hannah Margaret HILL.


bullet Mary Harriet GENSAMER(3322) was born on 7 Apr 1903 in Bellwood, Blair Co., Pa..(3323) Twin sister of Pearl She resided on 14 Mar 1947 in Washington, DC. (3324) She resided on 6 Jun 1966 in Hanover, York Co., Pa..(3325) (3326) She resided Sykesville Elder Care between 1984 and 1989 in Sykesville, MD. Final residence She died on 12 Dec 1989 in Westminster, Carroll Co., MD.(3327) Carroll County Hospital. Was resident of Elder Care, Sykesville, MD. She was buried on 17 Dec 1989 in Logan Valley Cemetery, Bellwood, Blair Co., PA. Arrangements by Gerald D. Johnson Funeral Home, Bellwood She was a Registered Nurse in Pennsylvania. Is noted as one of the first four registered nurses when Pennsylvania began requiring such certification.

The Census of 1930 also shows an occupation of "Scheride Maker" (?). (3328) Social Security Index lists her as Mary Baker, her last married name.
Last known residence, Ellicott City, MD.
SSN issued in Washington, DC. There is a Mary Lauver, age 27, one of four lodgers living at 2504 4th Ave. (6th Ward), Altoona, on April 21, 1930. The enumerator's writing is somewhat illegible and the occupation appears to be something like a "Scheride Maker" working at "lehrich." The age matches and it is known that Perry and Mary were separated and divorced. There is strong reason to suspect that this Mary is the grandmother of the compiler. Parents: Jerry (Jeremiah) Ebbs GENSAMER and Cora Mae DELANEY.

She was married to Perry Benner LAUVER in 1921.(3329) Perry Lauver and Mary Gensamer were witnesses to the wedding of Mary's twin sister Pearl on 9 March 1921. Since Mary used her maiden name to witness the wedding it is likely they were not yet married, so it is possible to assume that the Lauver wedding took place not too long after the above date. Also, check possibility that this was a double ring ceremony.

Blair Co. marriage index shows 1921. Copy of original application pending. She was divorced from Perry Benner LAUVER unknown. The Census of 1930 shows a Mary Lauver, age 27, residing as one of four lodgers at 2504 Fourth Ave., Altoona (6th Ward), Blair Co., Pa. Since Mary (grandmother of the compiler of this database) was born in 1903, the age makes this a possible match. It is common family knowledge that Mary and Perry Lauver were divorced, but the record of divorce is not yet filed in this database (as of October 2002).

The census also shows an occupation of "Scheride Maker" (?).

Children were: Clifford Perry LAUVER, Sylvia Agnes LAUVER, Vernelda LAUVER, Edward Benner LAUVER.

She was married to Al BAKER .

(3334) He resided on 19 Feb 1907 in Bellwood, Blair Co., Pa..(3335) He died on 9 Mar 1948 in Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co., PA.(3336) He was buried on 12 Mar 1948 in Logan Valley Cemetery, Bellwood, Blair Co., PA.(3337) Fuoss Funeral Home record states that Maxwell was single when he died.
Also the record indicates that the birth year would have made his mother Hannah 45 years old when he was born. While this is possible, additional primary sources should be sought to verify his year of birth and blood relationship to Hannah. Parents: Samuel S. GENSAMER and Hannah Margaret HILL.

(3350)(3351) (3352) Obituary of Paul's mother Cora reports he was killed 3 Feb. 1945. This is not quite reliable enough to change the file date of death of 2 Feb. without confirmation. He resided 713 N. 3rd St. - Bellwood on 2 Feb 1945 in Bellwood, Blair Co., Pa..(3353) He was buried on 22 May 1949 in Logan Valley Cemetery, Bellwood, Blair Co., PA. (3354) Note that more than four years went by from when Paul was killed in the War until he reached his final resting place in his native Bellwood.

Since he was killed in the war in 1945 and not interred in Bellwood until 1949, there may have been a special ceremony to honor him. Check the Bellwood newspaper or "Altoona Mirror" for reports.

bullet S. GENSAMER was born about 1844.(3378) Source of census did not list the full first name or sex.

No person is mentioned in the will of William Gensamer with the initial S. One possibility is that this person is actually David who was living on "the Thompson farm" when the will of his father was drawn up. If this proves to be the case, then the S. Gensimer and David Gensamer would need to be merged. Parents: William GENSAMER and Amanda J. ----.

Annie could not be found in previous records noted in finding the other Sam & Hannah Gensamer children.

Unofficial marriage certificate shows middle initial to be "S." Other secondary sources have shown "P" to be the middle initial. The marriage record for now appears to be the most reliable. Parents: George GENSIMER and Mary BLACK.

He was married to Hannah Margaret HILL on 3 Jan 1861 in Warriors Mark, Huntingdon Co., PA.(3394) (3395)(3396) (3397) The name or word Domer appears in the Bible record. The meaning of this reference is unknown. Children were: Mary E. GENSAMER, George E. GENSAMER, Joseph H. GENSAMER, Ella L. GENSAMER, Samuel Steward GENSAMER, Edward Dorsey GENSAMER, Francis X. H.

bulletStuart GENSAMER(3407). The existence of Stuart and Dorsey was not discovered until a conversation with Richard Gensamer, nephew of this individual, on 18 July 1999. This name had not shown up in the research among the other previous sources.

However, it can be observed that Walter's headstone sits right beside the stone of Lloyd and Edith.

bullet Betsy (Elizabeth?) GENSIMER was born in Huntingdon Co., Pa.. (3439) According to a newspaper obituary of brother George, he was an uncle to grocer Jerry HOUCK of 6th Ave. and 7th St., Altoona, and John HOUCK of Llyswen. This suggests the possibility that he had at least two sisters, one who may have married a HOUCK. Kitty's surname of MATTERN is mentioned in her father's will. Therefore, consider Houck as a possible married surname for this person. Parents: John GENSIMER and Elizabeth ----.

She was married to ---- HOUCK ? .(3440)

(3443) She died after Jul 1891.(3444) (3445) She resided on 2 Jul 1891 in Council Bluff, Pottawattamie Co., Iowa.(3446) It was thought that Caroline was a male, named Calvin, based on the obituary of her father, John. However, one explanation is that she was Mrs. Calvin Wallace, since at this point we do not have information on her husband's first name. Caroline is definitely mentioned in John's will. Parents: John GENSIMER and Elizabeth NELSON.

She was married to ---- WALLACE.(3447)
