Query: SARAH E. HOCKMAN married Dr.THOMAS H.CHRISTIAN. She was born on March 3 1858 in Reading, PA. Dr. Thomas H. Christian died around 1879 or 1880 when his son was an infant. The son, HARRY ORMAN CHRISTIAN, was born in Berwick, PA on 5/4/1879 and married ELLEN LILLIAN SPONENBURG, born on Jan 10, 1879 in Briar Creek, PA. Harry died in Berwick, PA in 1948. They had two children; Emma Lucretia CHRISTIAN, born December 12, 1897, in Bloomsburg, PA and Ruth Elizabeth 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.
