YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Kenneth E. Brocious, 95, passed away Saturday morning, July 9, 2011, at Omni Manor Nursing Home following a brief illness.

Kenneth, who was affectionately known to family and friends as “Gene,” was born Sept. 29, 1915, in Timblin, Pa., a son of the late Osmer and Twila Dinger Brocious, and came to Youngstown, Ohio in 1952.

He and his wife, Geraldine, made their home in Brookfield from the 1970s until her passing in 2003, after which Kenneth moved to Austintown, Ohio.

Mr. Brocious worked in the Pennsylvania coal mines, and then from 1952 to 1972 he worked at the A&P Warehouse in Youngstown. He later became a supervisor in the housekeeping department at Northside Hospital for eight years, retiring in 1981.

Gene was a true gentleman who loved his family and enjoyed the time they spent together. He especially enjoyed the annual family reunions in Timblin, and always looked forward to attending the event every year. He will be truly missed by all.

Kenneth leaves five daughters, Shirley Murphy of Youngstown, Gloria Coman and Delores Greenwalt of Austintown, OH, Mona (Grant) Rouser of Youngstown, Ohio and Karen (Paul) Lendak of Burghill; a brother, Donald (Beverly) Brocious of Indiana, Pa.; four sisters, Alda Shick of Punxsutawney, Pa., Ruby (Bill) Smith and Margie (Donald) Wolfgang of Erie, Pa., and Lois Stello of Coraopolis, Pa.; 13 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandchildren.

His beloved wife, Geraldine Beams Brocious, whom he married in 1934, passed away May 7, 2003. A brother, Ellwood Brocious; four sisters, Velma Huber, Helen Huffman, Dorothy Manley and Norma Jean Yohe; and two sons-in-law, David L. Coman and James Greenwalt, also preceded him in death.

Family and friends may call from 5 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 at Kinnick Funeral Home, 477 N. Meridian Road, Youngstown, where funeral services will take place at 1 p.m. Thursday afternoon.

Interment will follow at Green Haven Memorial Gardens.

supremecommander948 — 2007-03-12 00:04:49Z

This family is listed in the 1900 US Census as living in Nesquehoning, Carbon County PA. I am trying to determine if this Calvin is my great-grandfather. If so, Alice was his first wife and Catherine Williams (my great-grandma) was his second.

My Calvin was born in 1874 and died in 1933 in Shenandoah, Schuylkill county.

I'd appreciate any information that can be provided

TroyPierce51 — 2006-02-20 02:05:34Z

Thanks again Glenn. I'm going to the courthouse and historical society in Pottsville in the near future (was gonna go this weekend but my honey-do list got in the way). I have a TON of research to do on the Seitzinger line for a ceremony on June 3rd for James Monroe Seitzinger. He earned a Medal of Honor in the Civil War and the ceremony will be to place a memorial plaque on his grave in Fountain Springs.

The Brosius marriage certificates are high on my list of things to get while I'm there.

It DOES look like the Horns and the Brosiuses were pretty close. I'll be on the lookout for more info on the family to tie them all together.

Thanks again for all the help.

Re: Brocious in Schuylkill County PA

2006-02-20 01:57:35Z

I forgot to add that the following marriage records also is indexed for Schuylkill County:

Likely to be Edna's Parents:
4-3447 1885-1910
Horn, Catharine P. (Female)
Brosius, George B. (Male)

there is also

5-8078 1885-1910
Horn, Emma E. (Female)
Brosius, John A. (Male)

It would seem that these two families were very close.

Hi. Your Boyd Oliver Brocious is the same as your Boyd Brocious. Both were born 11 Mar 1881. He also died in Oil City, PA on 5 Dec 1929.

He did indeed have a son named, Norman, born about 1922 in PA. The last thing I have for Norman is that in 1930 he lived in Ringgold, Jefferson Co., PA.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks for responding. I did find a partial obit on Christopher Brosius that married a Sara Winekoop on another message board. So it is possable that I had the spelling wrong. Are you related to Roy Burkett that married Pearl Martz? Her sister, Daisy Martz's, daughter, Marie Rhodes is my mothers mother.
