Sergeant Edwin F. Haas
Edwin F. Haas was born May 12, 1889, at Reading, Pennsylvania.
Prior to his enlistment with the Constabulary, he served with the US Navy
aboard the U.S.S. Wisconsin from May 12, 1906, to May 12, 1910. He enlisted with
the Constabulary on August 5, 1910, and was assigned to Troop B, Wyoming.
On October 17, 1924, while trying to dislodge a jammed cartridge in his
revolver at Troop headquarters, he was accidentally shot and killed. At the time of
his death he was the Troop Qua
I am seeking information about Thomas Davis who died in 1752 in Cumru, Berks
County, PA. His wife, Elizabeth, died in Cumru in 1760, naming minor
children: David, Thomas and Sarah, and designating her brother-in-law Thomas
David Rees as executor of her will.
It is most probable that David Davis, the son of Thomas, married Nancy
Thomas (perhaps as second wife) and moved to Northumberland County.
Any information about this family would be gratefully received.

SWINDLERS TRY TO BUNCO
Solomon CRESSMAN, of near Coopersburg, came near being the victim of a clever
swindler. A salesman claiming to represent a phonograph company from
Minneapolis, the other day called at Mr. CRESSMAN's home and presented a tempting
offer to sell a $20 phonograph for $2, as an inducement to take the agency. He
also was to receive free a six-foot horn and 16 records. These inducements served

Hi list,
I have been working on my family history for all of about 10 months now. I have met some nice people and gotten a lot of help on my journey. I was wondering if anyone would help me with this question. Someone sent me an obituary from 1898 but did not mention the paper it was from. It is the obituary of Benneville Brown from 1898. It does not look like a newspaper today, but perhaps it was enlarged. It has a sketch (drawing) of Benneville at the top and it could be 10 inches in length. It
