A Gensamer Bible entry spells his first name "Marchel"

1999 recollection of Richard Gensamer, nephew of Marshall, was that Marshall
had married a woman by the name of Grace and they adopted a son named Richard.
Children were: Lon GENSAMER.
Mary
E. GENSAMER was born on 3 Apr 1862.(3316)
(3317)
(3318) She died on 8 Apr 1863.(3319)
(3320)
(3321) Parents: Samuel S. GENSAMER and
Hannah Margaret HILL.
Mary
Harriet GENSAMER(3322) was born
on 7 Apr 1903 in Bellwood, Blair Co., Pa..(3323)
Twin sister of Pearl She resided on 14 Mar 1947 in Washington, DC.
(3324) She resided on 6 Jun 1966 in Hanover,
York Co., Pa..(3325)
(3326) She resided Sykesville Elder Care between 1984 and 1989 in
Sykesville, MD. Final residence She died on 12 Dec 1989 in Westminster, Carroll
Co., MD.(3327) Carroll County Hospital.
Was resident of Elder Care, Sykesville, MD. She was buried on 17 Dec 1989 in
Logan Valley Cemetery, Bellwood, Blair Co., PA. Arrangements by Gerald D. Johnson
Funeral Home, Bellwood She was a Registered Nurse in Pennsylvania. Is noted
as one of the first four registered nurses when Pennsylvania began requiring
such certification.
The Census of 1930 also shows an occupation of "Scheride Maker" (?).
(3328)
Social Security Index lists her as Mary Baker, her last married name.
Last known residence, Ellicott City, MD.
SSN issued in Washington, DC. There is a Mary Lauver, age 27, one of four lodgers
living at 2504 4th Ave. (6th Ward), Altoona, on April 21, 1930. The enumerator's
writing is somewhat illegible and the occupation appears to be something like
a "Scheride Maker" working at "lehrich." The age matches
and it is known that Perry and Mary were separated and divorced. There is strong
reason to suspect that this Mary is the grandmother of the compiler. Parents:
Jerry (Jeremiah) Ebbs GENSAMER and
Cora Mae DELANEY.She was married to Perry Benner
LAUVER in 1921.(3329) Perry Lauver
and Mary Gensamer were witnesses to the wedding of Mary's twin sister Pearl on
9 March 1921. Since Mary used her maiden name to witness the wedding it is likely
they were not yet married, so it is possible to assume that the Lauver wedding
took place not too long after the above date. Also, check possibility that this
was a double ring ceremony.
Blair Co. marriage index shows 1921. Copy of original application pending. She
was divorced from Perry Benner LAUVER unknown. The Census of 1930 shows a Mary
Lauver, age 27, residing as one of four lodgers at 2504 Fourth Ave., Altoona
(6th Ward), Blair Co., Pa. Since Mary (grandmother of the compiler of this database)
was born in 1903, the age makes this a possible match. It is common family knowledge
that Mary and Perry Lauver were divorced, but the record of divorce is not yet
filed in this database (as of October 2002).
The census also shows an occupation of "Scheride Maker" (?).
Children were: Clifford Perry LAUVER,
Sylvia Agnes LAUVER, Vernelda LAUVER,
Edward Benner LAUVER. She was married to Al BAKER
.

M. GENSAMER was born on 27 Mar 1888 in Bellwood, Blair Co., Pa..

Co., PA.(3337) Fuoss Funeral Home record
states that Maxwell was single when he died.
Also the record indicates that the birth year would have made his mother Hannah
45 years old when he was born. While this is possible, additional primary sources
should be sought to verify his year of birth and blood relationship to Hannah.
Parents: Samuel S. GENSAMER and
Hannah Margaret HILL.

(3350)(3351)
(3352) Obituary of Paul's mother Cora reports he was killed 3 Feb.
1945. This is not quite reliable enough to change the file date of death of
2 Feb. without confirmation. He resided 713 N. 3rd St. - Bellwood on 2 Feb 1945
in Bellwood, Blair Co., Pa..(3353)
He was buried on 22 May 1949 in Logan Valley Cemetery, Bellwood, Blair Co., PA.
(3354) Note that more than four years went
by from when Paul was killed in the War until he reached his final resting place
in his native Bellwood.
Since he was killed in the war in 1945 and not interred in Bellwood until 1949,
there may have been a special ceremony to honor him. Check the Bellwood newspaper
or "Altoona Mirror" for reports. Killed in World War II, Paul did
not marry. Parents: Jerry (Jeremiah) Ebbs GENSAMER
and Cora Mae DELANEY.

S.
GENSAMER was born about 1844.(3378)
Source of census did not list the full first name or sex.
No person is mentioned in the will of William Gensamer with the initial S.
One possibility is that this person is actually David who was living on "the
Thompson farm" when the will of his father was drawn up. If this proves
to be the case, then the S. Gensimer and David Gensamer would need to be merged.

be found in previous records noted in finding the other Sam & Hannah Gensamer

secondary sources have shown "P" to be the middle initial. The marriage

Stuart
GENSAMER(3407). The existence of
Stuart and Dorsey was not discovered until a conversation with Richard Gensamer,
nephew of this individual, on 18 July 1999. This name had not shown up in the
research among the other previous sources.

the same person. Parents: Samuel S. GENSAMER and
Hannah Margaret HILL.

and Rita Helen WHARTON.Children were:

in Bellwood, Blair Co., Pa..(3412)
Married by Rev. James B. Stine at age 17.
The recollection of Richard Gensamer, nephew of Susan, was that she had married
someone with the surname of Rowbottom. This will need other sources to see if
the Blair County Court record is not accurate, applied to the wrong person or
if Susan had married again.

Co., Pa..(3413) She resided on 24 Oct

May 1989 in Altoona, Blair Co., Pa..(3420)
He was a Storekeeper in Bearing Co..(3421)
The relationship to Lloyd and Edith Gensamer is not confirmed in this
database as of July 1996. However, it can be observed that Walter's headstone
sits right beside the stone of Lloyd and Edith. The date of birth in 1912, when
Edith would have been 27 or 28 years old, also gives evidence to this assumption.
Parents: Lloyd H. GENSAMER and
Edith F. MCCAULLEY.He was married to Jessie B.
CHERRY on 25 Aug 1937 in Bellwood, Blair Co., Pa..

(3429) Parents: Walter J. GENSAMER and

William
R. GENSAMER was born about 1850.(3430)

(3433)(3434) She resided
on 8 Aug 1850 in Warriors Mark, Huntingdon Co., PA.
(3435) She died between 1878 and Jul 1891.
(3436)(3437) She is not mentioned
in the obituary of her father in 1891 Angeline is seen as her name on the Census
of 1860. Parents: John GENSIMER and
Elizabeth NELSON.She was married to ---- PORTER
.(3438)
Betsy
(Elizabeth?) GENSIMER was born in Huntingdon Co., Pa..
(3439) According to a newspaper obituary of brother George, he was
an uncle to grocer Jerry HOUCK of 6th Ave. and 7th St., Altoona, and John HOUCK
of Llyswen. This suggests the possibility that he had at least two sisters,
one who may have married a HOUCK. Kitty's surname of MATTERN is mentioned in
her father's will. Therefore, consider Houck as a possible married surname for
this person. Parents: John GENSIMER and
Elizabeth ----.She was married to ---- HOUCK ?
.(3440)
Caroline
GENSIMER was born about 1834 in Huntingdon Co., Pa..
(3441)(3442) She resided
on 8 Aug 1850 in Warriors Mark, Huntingdon Co., PA.
(3443) She died after Jul 1891.(3444)
(3445) She resided on 2 Jul 1891
in Council Bluff, Pottawattamie Co., Iowa.(3446)
It was thought that Caroline was a male, named Calvin, based on the obituary
of her father, John. However, one explanation is that she was Mrs. Calvin Wallace,
since at this point we do not have information on her husband's first name. Caroline
is definitely mentioned in John's will. Parents: John
GENSIMER and Elizabeth NELSON.She was married
to ---- WALLACE.(3447)
