Thank you so VERY much. For some reason I missed this when you posted it. Yes, I am related and would very much like data om Margaret's children.

It sounds weird, but Margaret's father, Wilmot David Cloos, was my 4th cousin. I'm president of the Campbell Reunion of Nelson, PA and am trying to locate (and update our files on) all descendant's of Wilmot's 3rd great-grandparents, Joseph Campbell (1748 - 1822) and wife Mary Harper (1749 - 1844). All are welcome at our biannual reunions and/or to subscribe to our mail list, CAMPBELL-PA-NELSON@rootsweb.com.

You can presently reach me at capane "at" verizon.net. In a couple of weeks the domain name will change to ptd.net.

You may already have this info, given the time passed,
Margaret Elizabeth Cloos married Isaac Ripple Schumaker and had 3 children David, Jane, and Lenore. I can send dates as needed. Are you related?

Cloos/Closs/Cluss in regards to Hiester/Hüster

hgirdley — 2010-05-03 17:22:19Z

PLEASE NOTE: Johann Jost Hüster and Anna Katharina Closs/Cloos/Cluss "Anna Kaetta" are NOT the parents of John, Joseph, or Daniel Hiester (who in fact are the sons of Johann Hüster and Anna Katharina Marburger). In the "900 Years of the Elsoff Parish" published in 1959 by the Wittgenstein Community Association, a 1957 article titled "Die Herkunft der in Amerika beruehmt gewordenen Huesters" (The Origin of the Famous Hiesters) by Wilhelm Hartnack of Laasphe states: "First to Joahann Jost Hüster and Anna Katharina Closs, whom the American researcher [Isaac Hiester] assumes as the parents of the three brothers. This Johann Jost Hüster is the son of Theiss Hüster from Beddelhausen, where he (Johann Jost) was baptized on 5 December 1672. In Elsoff at the "Bruecke-Haus" (bridge house) on 19 May 1697, Johann Jost Hüster of Beddelhausen married Katharina Cloos, born 28 January 1673, the daughter of Bernhard Closs of the "Bruecke-Haus". Johann Jost Hüster died in Elsoff at the "Bruecke" on 6 August 1722, as recorded in the death register. His wife died as Widow Hüster on 19 January 1747."

I have copy of obit for Mrs Cloos she died on Sunday...was published in Ridgway Record Sat. Sept. 19,1959 If you have all the info you need or want re Mr. and Mrs. Cloos there is no need for me to send you a copy of the write up because it would not be of any interest to you and since I finished the write up the last month in 2008 I'll not be making any changes or additions..just would include a copy of the photo you have with my file...

Thanks, in advance for contacting me.

Re: Cloos, Tioga, Elk, Potter,and Allegheny Counties, in Pa

addiel64 — 2009-03-25 14:45:33Z

Yes, indeed I would like to have a photo of Ira H. Cloos...in late 2oo8 I finished my book re early school teachers in which I included a copy of the write up about I.H. Cloos...I found a lot of his background in Tioga co history. Also, while searching through old Grove City College yearbooks for information and photos of my father who attended and graduated from Grove City College I came across a write up and photo of I.H. Cloos which I included in the write up. I found it interesting to learn that his wife, Oleta nee Fox, (married in Brockport in 1909) was born in FOx Twp. Elk County..Apparently while they were both teachers in the Brockport/Horton school system was where their paths first crossed. I will be pleased to send you a copy of the write up from my book in turn I would appreciate having a copy of Ira's photo to put with the write up in my file. R. A. Larson

Cloos, son of Victor Cloos, once of Tioga county who choose teaching as his career.In September of 1959 the wife of Ira H. Cloos (nee Oleta Fox) passed away in Pittsburgh, Pa. Ira was stil living. It would be wonderful if a picture of Ira H. Cloos, as a young school teacher could be found. Any assistance will be greatly appreciate.
