These cards were all issued in Pennsylvania, and the birth date is consistent with Census estimates. Other than that, I cannot be certain the person identified in SSDI is the same person from this family.

11. Another researcher provides the birth and death dates, saying she is buried in Durham Cemetery. I have not seen the original grave.

* Sally Scheetz's written family history (see fn. 1) differs slightly from notes that she apparently had written earlier in her life (see fn. 2). The history does not mention a child named Asher and the notes do not mention a Jacob Jr. Neither mentions Bertha who shows up in the Census records. The 1900 Census also indicates that Ida at age 26 already had one child who died. Several Obituaries (see fn. 10) list a brother named Earl also found in the 1930 Census but not mentioned in the Raub history or notes.
