STEACY - THOMAS Family Photograph
I've "rescued" an old
photograph of Ella STEACY of Springboro, PA which was taken at the Fowler
Studio in Meadville, PA.? The photograph
appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Ella likely in her 20's at the
time.? Based on limited research I was
able to gather the following information regarding Ella and her family:
?
Grace Ella STEACY was b. 24 Jul
1868 in Pennsylvania to parents Joseph STEACY (1828-1904) and Isabelle or
Isabella THOMAS (1827-1903).? Ella was
one of four children born to this couple including, Edward A.; Mary Elizabeth;
Jessie Ada; and Grace Ella STEACY, all born between 1859 and 1868.? Ella was a School Teacher and was single when
she died 29 ?Jul 1906 in Pittsburgh, PA
and is buried in the Sewickley Cemetery in Sewickley, PA.
?
Census records provide the
following details:
?
1880 census of Girard, PA:
?
Joseph STEACY, age 51, a Farmer,
born PA, parents born Ireland/England
Isabella STEACY, wife, age 52,
Keeping House, born PA, parents born MD
Edward A. STEACY, son, age 20,
Works on Farm, born IN
Jessie A. STEACY, dau, age 15,
at School, born PA
Grace E. STEACY, dau, age 11,
born PA
Hannah STEACY, Mother, age 76,
born England, parents born England
?
1900 census of Spring, PA:
?
Joseph STACY, age 71, born Sept
1828, married 42 years, born PA, parents born Ireland/England, a Carpenter
Isabella STACY, wife, age 72,
born Jul 1827, married 42 years, 5 children/4 living, born PA, parents born PA
Ella G. STACY, dau, age 31, born
Jul 1868, born PA, a School Teacher
+ 1 Boarder
?
I am hoping to locate someone
from Ella¡¯s family so that this beautiful old photograph can be returned to the
care of her family.? If you are a member
of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
