Ellen Jane Neimoyer (1847-1923): Death Certificate

This is the death certificate for my 2nd great grandmother Ellen Jane Neimoyer.  This comes from the Utah State Archives online.

This certificate says she was born Macungie, Pennsylvania March 15th, 1847. Her parents are listed as William Neimoyer and Lucinda Romig both of Pennsylvania.

She passed away on September 13, 1923 at the age of 76.  The cause of death is listed as "apoplexy".

She is listed as widowed and her spouse's name is listed as William Henry Stevens.  The informant is listed as Mrs. Lester S. Scoville which would have been her daughter Ruby May.

Lucinda Romig (1816-1896): Death Notice

This is the death notice for Lucinda Romig, my 3rd great grandmother.  She was married to William Andrew Neimoyer.  This appeared in the Salt Lake Herald on April 18th, 1896.  Lucinda had passed away the previous day on April 17th, 1896.

Cause of death is listed as old age.  She was 80 years old when she passed away.

William Andrew Neimoyer (1817-1893): Death notice

This was a death notice for my 3rd great grandfather William Andrew Neimoyer.  It appeared in the Salt Lake Herald on February 11th, 1893.  He had died the prior day, on February 10th, 1893.

The article says he died of grippe, which we would call the flu today.  He was 75.

The article says he is the son of Andrew and Mary M Neimoyer.  My records say that his mother's name is Polly Mira so there is a disconnect somewhere.

This article from the Salt Lake Herald on February 12, 1893 was a follow-up to the previous day's article to give the funeral information.

This post talks about the family of William Andrew Neimoyer, my 3rd great grandfather.

His family traveled with the Henry W. Miller Company.  This company traveled by wagon starting in Florence (now Omaha,) Nebraska on August 5th (or 8th).  They arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 17th and 18th of that same year.

Traveling with William was his wife Lucinda Romig and children Pauline, Jacob, Ellen (my 2nd great grandmother), Mary, George, and Emma.

Ellen Jane Neimoyer (1847-1923): Biographical Sketch

I found this information on my 2nd Great Grandmother Ellen Jane Neimoyer (and her husband William Henry Stevens) in the book Utah Since Statehood, Historical and Biographical, Volume 2 at the following link:

http://archive.org/stream/utahsincestateho02byuwarr#page/654/mode/2up

The sketch has information on Ellen, her husband William, their children & their spouses, and her parents (William Neimoyer and Lucinda Romig).

Here is an excerpt:

"Mrs. Stevens and her family are numbered among the most highly esteemed residents of Ogden [UT] and here  have a circle of friends almost coextensive with the circle of their acquaintance."

I think that's pretty cool.
