LAZARUS WOLF DEATH CERTIFICATE

                                                  Source: Ancestry.com

Using Ancestry through my local library has opened all kinds of possibilities for getting so much more family information.

I recently found the death certificate for Lazarus WOLF on Ancestry.

If the info on the certificate is correct, his mother's maiden name was ULRICH - which I did not know before.

JAMES APPLEBACH ORDINATION

James became an ordained minister on Sept. 17, 1964 in Kilgore, Nebraska.  He had already been preaching there for about a year prior to this. I have copies of several letters to other pastors he knew that were invited to the service.

The photo was taken the day of the ordination service and is taken beside the church.  His wife, Pauline (Garner), is visibly pregnant.

I believe the article was cut from one of the Lancaster papers.  Probably Grandma cut it out and sent it to mom (Pauline).

1970 LETTER REGARDING THE ROESSLERS/RESSLERS

I found this letter years ago among my grandma's papers and have since seen copies of it in other genealogy files on the Ressler family - I have never seen the original German version. I believe it probably was part of a project to use for DAR membership by Nina Breidenthall as she did become a member of the DAR about this time.  Nina was a descendant of Daniel Ressler's son Christian. Since I am a descendant through Daniel's son John this letter also applies to me.

2 CHURCH PHOTOS

I found these 2 photos of churches James Applebach pastored in among mom's photos:

                                         1963-1965    Kilgore, Nebraska

1973 - Congregational Church in Harvey, ND

 I do remember the church building in Harvey - I was in elementary school while we were there. The parsonage was right behind the church in the photo so it can be barely seen on the far right.

AN INTERESTING PHOTO

I found this photo among the tubs of photos from my mom.  Grandma GARNER had labeled the names and dates, but not what the story behind the photo was -  sure wish I knew.  I have found many photos that have Taylor APPLEBACH and the GARNER family doing trips together so maybe this was a normal occurrence in the 1960's after Jennie APPLEBACH died.

1964 - Nebraska - (L to R) Taylor APPLEBACH, Bill HENDERSHOT, Ralph GARNER, and Jim APPLEBACH

Just a side note: Bill Hendershot was a member of the church in Kilgore, NEB. On Find A Grave he is memorial # 81464296.

JOHN & EMMA REESE PHOTOS - 1961

Apparently, the winter of 1961 was pretty snowy at 525 Manor Street in Lancaster, PA.  Uncle John and Aunt Emma REESE appear to have plenty to spare in these photos.
