He was born Jun 1867 in Pennsylvania. Died 12 Dec 1947 in Kiehl Nursing Home, Ohio and is buried next to Margaret Melissa.Their daughter Blanche Martha Mehaffey married Thaddeus Stephen Skinner and they are both buried in Washington, Washington County, PA.Their daughter was my mother Hazel Leora Skinner Stanley 8 June 1913-14 Dec 2001.Buried Crest Haven Memorial Cemetery, New Waterford, Ohio.They are all on findagrave.com at this site http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=80722217http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=80722217
Allegheny County is less than 5 miles from Columbiana County Ohio and is next door to Washington, PA.Look on map for tip of Northern Panhandle of WVa and you'll see Ohio, WV & PA are the what is called the tri-county area. I grew up there and know it by heart.
If this helps let me know and I'll sendmore info.
