I found all these posts on genealogy.com.I think I have a match.My grandmother's mother is Helen Louise Deitz, last child of Lewis James Deitz and Mary Ida Jones.Mary Ida always insisted her name was Ida May Wilson, according to my grandmother.I would be interested in exchanging information and determining the parents of Mary Ida Jones.The notes I have read from genealogy.com reports that the parents of Lewis James are Baumkratz and Barbara A. Deitz.I have a picture of their gravestones that are in Immaculate Conception Church Cemetery in Clarion, PA... but on the gravestone, his name is *Pancratius* not Baumkratz.The dates on him and Barbara are correct on the stones, and in the census returns it is Baumkratz.I don't know the names of this parents, but I'd like to.Pancratius seems to translate as "Philip Christian."What is going on?
Helen Louise Deitz 1910-1992 m. Norbert Francis Songer (1904-1975), both in I. C. Church Cemetery.Lewis and Mary Ida are in the same cemetery, though buried some distance away.
