Family 2: Michael Simmons
Biography
| Research Note | I had a note that said she married twice, first Reuben Unangst, then Michael Simmons. However, I cannot remember where I saw that. Her obituary does not imply that, and the only Reuben Unangst that I can find is always listed as single, and died 27 Sep 1907 in the Almshouse, Lower Nazareth (probably Gracedale), where he had been for 7 months. He was about 80 years old and is listed as single. I think she had a child of Reuben's but I am not sure if they were married. The child was Bertha D. (Delilah?) (married name Pyatt) 6 Apr. 1873 - 4 Aug 1906. Husband David Pyatt. Four girls (one died as teenager). David married again. | |
