In 2002, in response to a question I asked of my mother, she replied: My Mother's parents ( My Grandparents) could not be named Martin
and Elizabeth. They were John and Sophia Scheatzle. The date you gave me is more likely to be the date Mother was born as Jennie Esther Scheatzle, eldest daughter.
Mabel Scheatzle 3rd daughter, who married
William Colwell, had 3 children, Dorothy, Wm, Jr. and ?
Rena Scheatzle 4th daughter, who married Arthur Renfer, who was a postal worker in Pittston, PA Had 3 children, Shirley, who married Frank Berger, Bethlehem, Arthur, Jr. married & divorced, recently died, and Betty Jane, who married George Weiskerger in Williamsport, PA
Edna Scheatzle, 5th daughter who married Ed Herberts,in Duryea. Had several children Johnny Scheatzle, only son & youngest who
married Beatrice & had a son Kenneth, and ?
Mary Scheatzle, 2nd daughter who married Stanley Jones, Duryea & had one daughter, Grace (Memory)Mary died from an annurism when very young. (I was in 6th Grade. When I do the math I'll try to give you some figures I remember her as Beautiful Auburn haired
There was also Sophia's sister, Aunt Ida Mae Rogers, Duryea
Mother & Dad's first child born in Duryea died as an infant & is buried in Brick Methodst Cemetery in Duryea.
As I remmember we had a bunch of red-haired cousins in Berwyck, PA.
This should be a start & I shall seek more informatiom from some of family.Maybe
Aunt Dorie knows more about Sophia & Johns fathers background.???
This is getting more interesting but I can't think of any noted or titled
person in this
family..... Maybe you have Questions. Have a Good Day, Love,
Mom

Lives outside Montrose, PA. Operated Roberts Body Shop for many years. I can remember lots of fond memories playing at Tom and Ruth's when I was child - walking out on the farm land in the hills up behind their place, visiting the cemetery overlooking the property and imagining the ghosts roaming there. In the winter we would sled and tobaggon on the hill. Out front of their house, near the highway, I found fossils in the rocks - just couldn't imagine what they were!! I can remember Thanksgiving dinners and their dog getting into it with a porcupine.
DAvid and Donald are twins.
DAvid and I are about the same age and played together when we were children in LeMars, mostly at the Klave's farm outside town. I can remember chasing pigs in the pen, and riding a couple. It was a lot of fun.
