note - carefull analysis of the signatures on the license application suggests
that Robert Conrad signed his name, but all information was filled in by the
Clerk of the Orphan's Court (including the bride's signature). Uncertain of Robert's
signature. But I wonder if Nannie was even present.

********************************************************************** Dad's notes, 7/24/79
(copied from Robert E Conrad's notes after talking with his dad, R E Conrad Sr)

1. Previously, Dad related to me the following:
a) Mom, Aunt Mary Kerstetter and Uncles John and James (Hendersons) were
being reared in a Catholic Orphan's Home in Philadelphia

b) John Henderson married a Polish girl in Delaware (Dover?)

c) Then Mom and AUnt Mary were transferred to an O'Shaughnessy (?)
family in Lewisburg. This family was quite old when Mom and Aunt Mary
went there to live. The husband shot to death either his wife or himself.

d) Then Mom was transferred to a Kelly family (about 1915) in Milton,
Pa, until about 16 yrs old. At the same time, AuntMary went to an O'Neill
family in Coatsville (and later to Sunbury).

e) Then Mom ended up working in a silk mill in Sunbury and lived with the
Riegle family on Catawissa Ave across from the East End Hose Company.
That's when Dad met, courted Mom and married her!

f) Aunt Mary, while in Sunbury stayed at the Zerbe Hotel (the Shreffler Pontiac
place now on Market Street near Eighth St).

At the same time, Tom Kerstetter was a bartender there. They married.

g) Uncle Tom and Aunt Mary then went to Berrysburg to open up a Hotel there.
Tom Jr was born there. Tom Sr borrowed $1000 from a whiskey salesman
to take over the hotel.

h) Then Uncle Tom and Aunt Mary went to Gratz to open a hotel there (which
later burned down). then to Elizabethville, then to hotel in Dillsburg,
and finally to Camp Hill (they had a used car garage on Market St.
not far from the Rt 15 bypass traffic intersection).

i) My grandfather SimonPeter Conrad was placed on a Scanlon farm about
1870 or 1871 and used to workhis ass off there. Durin ghte flood of 1889,
he worked on a RR bridge at Mexico, Pa.

Note that the 1900 census listed his first name as "Frederick". The family
