Looking for connections to:


Joseph Peter EVANS b. Aug 1850 Scranton/Cleveland,Cuyahoga,OH d. Oct 1929
Allenwood, Union County, PA. He is buried in the Allenwood Cemetary, Union
County, Pennsylvania. The family history reflects that he lost a leg while working
on the Railroad. But now there is evidence from an article written by "The
Grit" that he lost both legs and a hand while employed by the Railroad.

He first married Jennie and had two or three children (2 boys and a girl)and
later married: Luella "LuLu" MOORE b in probably Erie, Pennsylvania they had
12 children. ( 3 boys and 9 girls):

The boys were placed in an orphanage. Family history is that Richard ran
away and eventually married Luella Moore when he was 22 years old. I have a copy
of the marriage certificate,which lists his father, Joseph Peter EVANS is
listed as living - but his mother, Lulu (Moore) EVANS is listed as deceased at the
time.

Richard Peter EVANS b. Apr 1897 Painsville/Madison, Lake County, OH d. Apr
1960 Houston, Harris, Texas. Buried in Allenwood Cemetary, Union Co, PA near
father/mother m.Mary PFLEEGOR Leretta ( b. 29 Nov 1901 in Limestoneville, Montour
Co,PA d. Apr 1983 Lewisburg,Union Co, PA.

I have located three boys in St. Vincents Orphanage (Institution) in the 1910
Cuyahoga, OH Census:
