The Coffin Plate Of Rebecca Starkie 1797~1868

Today I am adding the coffin plate of Rebecca Starkie 1797~1868. From what I can find it looks like Rebecca lived in Keene, Cheshire, New Hampshire. She is living with Benjamin P Starkey age 53. This Benjamin is probably her husband but he is 10 years younger so one would need to look for more info.

The Life And Death Of The Berger Family

I have a group of 4 Memorial cards for members of the Berger family so I thought I would see what info was online for this family. The cards are for Joseph Berger 1838 ~ 1912. Minnie M Berger 1845 ~ 1899. Georgie Berger 1893 ~ 1905. Walter C Berger 1899 ~ 1902. I had a look in the 1880 and 1910
United States Federal Census and found them living in Miami, Montgomery, Ohio. Looks like Joseph was a farmer from Germany. Sadly 2 of the cards are for young people. Little Walter Berger was just 3 years old when he died in 1902 and Georgie was only 11.
