Finding newspaper articles about the Hesch clan in the last couple of years, we sometimes would find a name that didn't "fit" as far as I knew. We'd just make a mental note of it and go on, confident that the the connection would be made eventually. This time took longer than usual....
The Q: Who was Mary Conley?
(There'll be a quiz, so pay attention)...
I know we found the name Conley or Connley in a Buckman obit ot two, and in a mention of Grandpa's brother Frank visiting them in the cities.
Ahh, thanks to clever sleuthing and Anna's obit on Find a Grave.
Cecilia Dehler and Mary Connelly were sisters,
daughters of Billy Meyer and Anna Otremba,
so they were first cousins of the other four, above.
All their mothers were Otremba sisters--
Mary(Hesch), Martha (Hortsch) and Anna (Meyer).
TaaDaa!
that is so very clever, but hey, they look totally alike! Once a feller knows the truth, it is obvious! Love, Pfoofer
