APPLEBACH, Tillie of Applesbachsville, PA
As a teenager, my Aunt Fran gave me 2 articles about Applesbachsville, PA that had been in the Philadelphia newspaper in the 1940's.
The first one is this one about an auction that Tillie APPLEBACH had on Nov. 12, 1949 at her home in East Rockhill Township (Bucks Co, PA). The article says that she is 77 and that she needed to get rid of a few things. The article goes on to say that she is the widow of Oscar APPLEBACH.
The article is a very interesting read of personalities, local culture, and a list of various items that were sold.
In the book, Six Afflerbach Emigrants Who Came to Pennsylvania and Their Descendants 1750-1930, by Jane K. Thompson is listed an Oscar APPLEBACH who was born in 1867 and later married Matilda ______ (pg. 73). According to the book, he was the son of Levi and Rachel (GREEUP) APPLEBACH.
Per the above listed book (pg. 103-104) Oscar is also stated to die in 1923. He married Mathilda in 1890 and they had these children: Preston, Harvey, Charles, William and Frederick.
According to the Find A Grave website, the memorial numbers are (Oscar) 92898702 and (Tillie) 92898712. Per the same source, her maiden name was Rosenberger and she died in 1957. They are buried at the Ridge Valley Cemetery in Sellersville, Bucks County, PA. The book by Thompson (listed above) also notes that Oscar's will is #29769 in Bucks Co wills of 1923.
