CHRISTIAN, born December 12, 1898, in Berwick, PA. Sarah
married again, to MARK ELK RITTENHOUSE, a Methodist farmer.
Sarah and Mark had three children; Laura, Isadore and Kate. I
I am told Sarah was full blooded Indian and possibly lived on
a reservation prior to her marriage to Thomas. Also believe
that Sarah and Mark lived on a reservation in the state of
Washington for several years. Sarah died in Bloomsburg, PA on
on June 27, 1947 I am interested in finding Sarah and Thomas's
parents and siblings. I found a reference to an Emma L Hockman,
born b. 24 Sep 1864, d. 17 Jun 1958, from Reading, PA. From the
date of Emma's birth it is possible that she is sister to Sarah.
