Chris :)

There is a vague resemblance in the photo on the link to the one my contact has.

The dod will help us track down a funeral announcement

I'll let her know - thank you. :-D

Possibly relevant to the 1911 marriage of Homer Pearson - the Syracuse Post Standard on 16 July 1910 reported that a Mrs Inez Pearsall of Binghampton divorced her husband Homer Pearsall on the grounds of his desertion in 1909. They had one son Earl (then 22). Homer was an automobile manufacturer in Wilkesbarre, PA,

Apparently he packed up suddenly and left saying he would never live with her again.

The photo is on this link.

Thank you - all grist to the mill.

Sidney Memorial Library has recently digitised their newspaper archive
http://sidney.advantage-preservation.com/

Some people haven't been able to see an image, but if you right-click and save, the page will then open on your computer. It probably depends what operating system you use.

If anyone is interested, you can search for the photo on this site using the words Sophronia Pearsall

alviegal - yes, that's the same photo :-D

Sophronia Hollenbeck, daughter of Urias G. Hollenbeck and his wife, was born November 1, 1825, at West Bainbridge, N.Y. [Chenango Co., NY]. Her mother died when she was but an infant, which left her to be cared for by kind friends until the remarriage of her father. When she was eight years of age her parents moved to Bainbridge. At sixteen years of age she attended a revival meeting in the Turnpike schoolhouse, where she accepted Christ as her Saviour, and proved faithful until the end of her earthly life which came on Saturday morning, May 19th. She with earnest prayer and faith in God developed a strong Christian character, and was greatly beloved by those who knew her, having been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Chruch for all those years. In 1893 she was united in marriage to Wm. Pearsall, who proceeded her to the spirit world. This union was blessed with six children, three boys namely U.S. Pearsall, A.D. Pearsall, and Homer Pearsall; also three daughters, Mrs. A.J. Wilcox, Mrs. Perry Rood, and Mrs. Emma Herrick, who preceeded her parents in death. Eleven grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren survive her. The funeral was largely attended and was held on Monday P.M., May 21st. Rev. C. H. Sackett, a former pastor and an old acquaintance of the family had charge of the service, assisted by Rev. Owen L. Buck. May there be a happy reunion of the family and friends in the heavenly kingdom where the inhabitants never grow old and feeble. [Bainbridge Republican, May 31, 1917]

A message from across the Pond

"Thanks for all the info and I am saving it."

Apparently she was hoping for a link to an existing family, featuring a Betsey Hollenbeck (no further details passed on) , but as her OH is the Guilford HS Archivist the research will be added to the Hollenbeck/Pearsall files + she can knock it together into prose and pass it on to the person who has a copy of the photo.

Once she'd read the rest of the emails, which I had said was copied off this thread.....
..........
You go girl..wow you always amaze me all the way across the ocean and I am here on this side and low and behold you come up with the best stuff.
Thanks so much.
..............

Thank you from both of us :-)
