Confusion

Word came to my mother that Uncle Paul Stoerker's only daughter Wilhelmina (or Billie) had gotten married in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she lived. It would seem logical that that news would have come to us from Billie's brother Ted, but since it proved to be misinformation it must have come from elsewhere. Anyway, my mother was told that the groom was a man named Webb Miller. (I recall that my thought, upon hearing that, was that I would call him Cobweb Miller.)

Aunt Julie arrived at our farm for a visit almost immediately after that. She had heard of Billie's marriage too, only she had heard that the groom was Wilbert Greb. Aunt Julie was horrified. She had just sent a congratulations card to Mr. and Mrs. Wilbert Greb, she said. It would be terrible if that was wrong!

Aunt Julie turned out to be right. I don't know what brought on the confusion. There was actually a Webb Miller. Billie had dated both young men, but Wilbert Greb (called Wib) was the one she had married.

I was a little disappointed. I wouldn't be able to use my Cobweb Miller line.

Me By John Altenbernd

     Wilhelmina Margaret Stoerker and Wilbert Stewart Greb lived at 1900 Shaler Drive, Glenshaw, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA.
     During January 1994, I received a nice phone call from Billie. Her nephew Paul (#915) had forwarded her a copy of the Stoerker descendants I had compiled. She called to let me know she appreciated the work I was doing. We had a nice conversation. Maybe someday, I will have the opportunity to meet her.

During late July 1994, Wib (#182) suffered a severe stroke which confined him to a wheelchair in a nursing home. Billie moved into an "assisted living" apartment in the same retirement center as the nursing home to be close to Wib. Their house was put up for sale. in January 1994.

     Wilhelmina died on 3 October 1997 at Passavant Retirement Community, 401 South Main Street, Zelienople, Harris County, Pennsylvania, USA, at age 88.3,4
Her funeral was on 5 October 1997 at Passavant Retirement Community, 401 South Main Street, Zelienople, Harris County, Pennsylvania, USA.3 She was buried on 5 October 1997 in the St Peter's Cemetery located in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA.3,10
