ROHES CELEBRATE SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Rohe of RD 2, Dushore, celebrated their 25th wedding Anniversary on January 6.

They were married at the home of the bride in Tunkhannock, Pa. Rev. Truscot performed the ceremony. The attendants were Ella Richlin and Henry Litzelman.

Mrs. Rohe is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Daily. Mr. Rohe is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Rohe of Forks Township.

The Rohes’ have five children, Catherine Pedro of Dushore, Lawrence, Jr. , Mary; Mrs. Bernadine Burke of Binghamton and Thomas Waluk of Camptown. They have six grandchildren.

Mr. and Mrs. Rohe operate a 335-acre farm with their son Lawrence, Jr. The farm has been in the family for 132 years. Peter Rohe ** began farming it in 1837. After his death, the farm was inherited by his 3 sons, Charles, Leroy and Albert, with Leroy the final survivor. On the death of Leroy, his son Lawrence took over the management of the farm.

The couple received many lovely gifts
** Editor's Note: As pointed out by Larry Pardoe, this claim is erroneous. Peter Rohe was born in November 1836 and it was therefore his parents, Valentine Rohe, Sr. and Elizabeth Wagner, who first worked the farm.

Walter H. Shrimp, 90, of Sonestown, formerly of Forks Township, died April 15, 1983, in the Williamsport Hospital. He was born May 12, 1892, in Forks township, a son of Manessa and Clara J. Rohe Shrimp. A World War I veteran, he served in the AEF in Europe. After the war, and during most of the rest of his life, he was a farmer and lumberman. He retired just a few years ago and moved to Sonestown five years ago. He was a member of Loyalsock Post No. 996, American Legion, Dushore, Pa. Surviving are his wife, Carmeta Rogers Shrimp, at home; four sons, Vernon of Monroeton, Donald and Eugene, both of Wysox, and Myron of Sayre, one daughter Mrs. Glenn (Carol) Frantz of Sonestown; one brother Oscar of Bangor, PA; three sisters-in-laws Mrs. Dorothy Shrimp and Mrs. Edna Shrimp both of Dushore RD, Mrs. Jane Shrimp of Ulster; 20 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren."

Walter H. Shrimp married Carmeta Rogers in his second marriage. She was born August 20, 1924 and died December 17, 1992;  She was the daughter of  Frank E. and Stella L. Mayo Rogers.  Carmeta married again after Walter passed away  to Robert B. Thall.  She was  buried December 21, 1992  in the Fairview Cemetery, Dushore, PA

ROGERS –CARMETA L. THALL, 68 of Canton RR 2 passed away on Thursday, Dec. 17, 1992 at the home of her daughter, Carol Franz, Sonestown following a lingering illness.  She was born Aug. 20, 1924 in New Era, Bradford County the daughter of the late Frank and Stella Mayo Rogers.  Mrs. Thall was preceded in death by her first husband, the late Walter Shrimp in 1983.  She has spent most of her lifetime in the Sullivan County area.  Surviving are her second husband, Robert B. Thall at home; one daughter, Carol Frantz, Sonestown; two granddaughters, Dulcey Smith, New Albany and Carmeta Pearson, Muncy Valley RR; two great-grandsons, Tyler Pearson and Justin Smith; Three brothers, Francis Rogers, Sayre RR, William Rogers, Newtown Square, PA and Carl Rogers, Rome; three sisters, Anna Fitzwater, Canton, Helen Croft, Waverly and Donna Ford, Rome.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Walter and Robert Rogers.  The funeral service was held on Monday, Dec. 21, 1992 in the Russell P. McHenry Funeral Home, Dushore, with pastors, the Rev. Robert W. Martin and the Rev. James Lewis officiating.  Interment was in Fairview Cemetery. 

Lorin Pardoe expands as follows upon the Rogers side:

Carmeta Rogers was the daughter of Frank E. Rogers (1900-1973) and Stella L. (Mayo) Rogers (1897-1936). From census records and cemetery records, I conclude that Frank E. Rogers was the son of Benjamin Rogers (1878-1959) and Hannah (Terrill) Rogers (1882-1922). And Benjamin appears to be son of Sidney N. Rogers (1852-1919), PA, and Andaresta F. (Moon) Rogers (1848-Unknown). I am unable to connect this line to the Rogers family of Sullivan County whose history can be found in Aunt Eliza's Scrapbook. In fact, the grandfather of Sidney N. Rogers was born in Connecticut.   Interesting that Samuel Sadler Rogers and Eliza C. (Green) Rogers also had a son named Sidney T. Rogers, but he was b. March 1884 - 30 years later.  
 

Children of Walter and Laura Teeter Shrimp:

  1. Vernon "Jimmy" Walter Schrimp Birth Date: 7 Mar 1921   Death Date: 23 Aug 1990  married Leona Pearl Johnson

Donald G. Schrimp, 84, of Wysox, Pa., passed away Thursday, Jan. 25, 2007, at his home following declining health. Born Aug. 7, 1922, in Dushore, Pa., he was the son of the late Walter Schrimp and Laura Teeter Schrimp Stevens. Don attended the Shrimp School and Estella High School in Sullivan County, Pa. He was a veteran of World War II, having served in the U.S. Army from 1941 to 1945. Don served during the invasion of Normandy on D-Day and was the recipient of the Bronze Star Medal. In earlier years he was employed by the Farmer's Co-op in Wysox as a truck driver and later by E.I. DuPont in Towanda for 34 years until his retirement in 1984. Don was a member of American Legion Post No. 42, Towanda; VFW Post No. 6072, Asylum Township; and the Fraternal Order of Police. Surviving are: his children, Gayle Eddy of Glenmoore, Pa., Fred Schrimp (Maria) of Rome, Pa., Connie Green of Rome, Christopher Schrimp (Kasey Elliott) of Liberty Corners, Pa., and Lisa Schrimp (Mark Tome), who resided with her father and provided care for him; the mother of his children, Emma Schrimp of Wysox; nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

The funeral and committal service will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, Jan. 29, at the Maryott-Bowen Funeral Home, 217 York Ave., Towanda, Pa., with the Rev. Robert Martin officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the funeral service Monday afternoon at the funeral home. Towanda American Legion Post No. 42 will accord full military honors at the funeral home. Interment will be at a later date in the Wysox Cemetery, Wysox. 

This obituary is technically in error regarding the mother of his children. Donald married first to Marian (Polly) Hoose (October 01, 1923 - April 7, 2005). She was the daughter of  Delace (Delacey) C. Hoose and his wife Louise C. Miller. They were the parents of Donna Gayle Schrimp Eddy, Connie Schrimp Brown Green, and Fred Schrimp.

His second wife was Emma Jane (Maines) Chilson, as listed in the obituary and surviving him. They were the parents of Lisa ann Schrimp Tome and Christopher John Schrimp. Emma Jane was the daughter of Frank J. and Mary Ellen (Johnson) Maines.

Polly Hoose, Donald's first wife, was previously married first to Charles Kendrick Rathbun, then second to Donald Schimp and third to Duane "Duke" Miller. Polly had a son named Gary Rathbun with her first husband, and the Schrimp children are listed above. There were no children with Duane Miller.

Emma Jane, Donald's second wife, was married first on May 05, 1955 to Clifford J. Johnson son of Max B. and Daisy A. (Stephenson/Stevenson) Chilson. They had five children: Julie, Cathy, Danny, David and Clifford Jr.

    3. Eugene "Pete" Elmer Schrimp, Birth Date: 3 Apr 1924  Death Date: 23 Oct 1995 married Louise _________.

    4. Myron "Mickey" Cyril Shrimp,   Birth 1 Feb 1927  Death date 4 May 1991 married Doris Pewterbaugh.
 

Carol Rogers/Schrimp is a child of Carmeta Rogers, possibly before she married Walter Schrimp. "Some Descendants of Joel & Sarah Bird Bennett of Sullivan County, Pennsylvania," (written between 1993 and 1998)", page E-59, Charles Kehler shows her name as Carol Rogers. Gayle Schrimp Eddy, daughter of Donald Schrimp, tells us that Walter and Carmeta were not married until much later. She also sent the following email explaining the Schrimp/Shrimp change in the spelling of the Schrimp/Shrimp name:

I am the oldest daughter of Donald G. Schrimp. Laura (Lura) Pearl Teeter Shrimp Stevens was the mother of Vernon, my dad  Don, Eugene & and Myron.  She was married to Walter and they divorced. I really think he and Carmeta got married years after they lived together. I always remember her with granddad. The spelling of Shrimp is an interesting story.  Only Dad and Uncle Pete ["Eugene"] use the 'c'. Dad says that Dr. Sullivan in Dushore added the 'c' to his record when dad went into the Army and followed suit with Uncle Pete Eugene.

Carol Brotzman has been kind enough to create an ancestral chart based on Gayle Schrimp, which you can find at the end of this page.
