Hello all,

I'm hoping someone can give me a tidbit of help with the following families.
Charles Leroy and Catherine Jane [LANDIS] SHUMAKER - born 1887 and 1881
Joseph Lincoln and Mary Elizabeth [MARTZ] LEAZIER - born 1884 and 1883
The areas where they lived were Meyersdale in Summit Twp and Sand Patch in
Larimer Twp.

These people are the maternal gr grandparents of my step-children and I'm
trying to help them, but I'm at a disadvantage. I'm going on the names and
dates above which they got from their grandmother Ima Leora [LEAZIER]
SHUMAKER who was the dau of Joseph and Mary Martz Leazier and who married
Daniel F SHUMAKER, the son of Charles and Catherine Landis Shumaker.

I've done some census work and have been able to get names of children for
Charles Leroy and Catherine Jane [LANDIS] SHUMAKER
Joseph Lincoln and Mary Elizabeth [MARTZ] LEAZIER

I haven't found the parents of Charles Leroy SHUMAKER, but have surmised
that William H LANDIS and Lucinda Queer were the parents of his wife
Catherine Jane LANDIS. Likewise I've surmised the parents of Joseph Lincoln
LEAZIER were Charles and Caroline [?] LEAZIER but I don't have a lead on
the parents of Joseph's wife Mary Elizabeth MARTZ. The current exchange of
MARTZ info was great... but back too far to help me.

I've been reading the cemetery inscriptions like crazy, but haven't had any
luck finding where they are buried. I'd be every so happy for any leads
anyone might have.

Thanks -
Marlene Diefendorf
