  4. How nice that someone was able to look this up for you-- I believe PA's records are not public, so you really can't find this online.

    Poor lady, she was so young, and to leave little kids...

    1. This was found on microfilm at a Pittsburgh library. Yes, I've always thought how sad for my great grandmother and her brother to lose their mother when they were so young.

      Thanks for reading and commenting.
