Notes
a. Note:   Mary Matilda's tombstone says she was born in 1860, and her baptism certificate says she was born 9/25/1860 and baptized January 1861. Mary Matilda Confer was a servant in the Stroh mansion on "Millionaires Row" in Mauch Chunk (now the town of Jim Thorpe). She became pregnant by the Abraham Stroh, son of William Stroh. She ran away and had the baby. She never told Abraham nor married him. She later married Charles Eberts who adopted the baby, Mame Luella. Her granddaughter said that some time after Charles and Tilly were married, he learned of the child and tried to get the girl back. This caused Charles and Tilly to move around a lot, including Allentown where they ran a rooming house until he found them there. They finally settled in the Mahoning Valley where Charles became a butcher.
