Re: ALVORD lookups in 1908 Genealogy

I have come across the gravestones for David Allvord (father of William H) and his wife. They are in Barner's Church Cemetery (St. John's Lutheran), near Liverpool, Perry County, PA Row 16-6. Her first name is Catherine. Everything I read suggests that her maiden name was Shumber or Shomper, but this is incorrect. Her stone reads: Wife of George Allvord, formerly wife of Henry Zellers. I have discovered by tracking the Zellers line that her maiden name was actually Catherine Knauss, daughter of Christian Knauss (1788-1850) and Catherine Straw (1787-1855).Hope this helps. Lorie Doty ...great granddaughter of Mary Elizabeth Alvord of Indiana.
