Reuben&Laura Pugh Blakeslee,Plymouth,PA
My great grandparents, Reuben and Laura Blakeslee, lived in Plymouth and Hanover Green,Pa.We have no paperwork, except their obits from the WilkesBarre Record. Reubendied in 1938, age 67.He was in minstrel shows, and sang with the Shawnee Warblers. He also ran an "oyster bar" ( I think it was like a luncheonette). No parent's names in the obit, but brothers Robert of Lee Park, Charles of Staten Is.,Daniel of Meshoppen, Henry of Plymouth, and sister Mrs. Wm Thomas of Plymouth.If anybody has any info, we would be very grateful.
Laura died in 1941 at age 69.She was active in the Welsh Presby. church.She came from Wales at age 14, and left a brother, Llewellyn, who lived in Dallas.Her parents were John and Mary Pugh.
They had one child, my grandmother, Laura Marie Blakeslee Brown.
Both Reuben and Laura are buried in Shawnee Cemetery.
