43407 Twice married, both of Marion Bruce Summers' wives were named Maude. His first wife, Maude B. Stalnaker, died before Jan 1920, probably in Pennsylvania where he was found as a widower in the 1920 Census. They had three children, Joseph, Marion and Betty. His second wife, Leota Maude Goff, was known almost exclusively by her middle name. She had two previous marriages, first to James R. Wass who died in 1912 and by whom she had daughters Helen and Virginia. Her 1917 marriage to Edgar Sylvester White, a native of Maine, apparently soon ended in divorce. Marion Bruce Summers and Maude White were in adjacent households in the 1920 Census of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is not known when or where they were married, but they were in Sarasota, Florida at the time of his 1928 death. Maude was still residing there with her daughter Virginia in the 1945 Census, and she is reported to have died there later that year.

In November 1914, along with accomplice C. D. Martin, Marion Bruce Summers was found guilty on multiple counts of bank fraud, specifically the embezzlement of about $35,000 from the First National Bank of West Union. They were both sentenced to five years in the West Virginia state prison.

1910 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (West Union District, town of West Union), enumerated on Apr 18 1910:
M. Bruce Summers, 40, occupation banker, married 6 yrs; wife Maude B, 30, mother of 2 children (both still living); son Joe D, 5; son Marion B, 1; roomer Adaline Tschudi, 32, b. Maryland, single, occupation dressmaker.
Census entries indicated that the family residence was a house rather than a farm, that it was owned rather than rented, and that it was without a mortgage.

1920 Census, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania (city of Pittsburgh), enumerated on Jan 15 1920:
M. B. Summers, 50, occupation manager at steel company, widowed; son Joe D, 16; dau Betty M, 2, b. Pennsylvania.
In the next household:
Maude White, 36, b. WVa (father b. WVa, mother b. Ohio), no occupation, widowed; dau Helen, 12; dau Opel, 10. (Note: Maude White's listed marital status is incorrect. She and her husband of 2-1/2 years, Edgar Sylvester White, had apparently separated, as he was enumerated in the 1920 Census in Portland, Maine, his native state.)

1930 Federal Census, Sarasota Co, Florida (city of Sarasota), enumerated on Apr 14 1930 on Gillespie Ave:
Maud A (?) Summers, 46, b. WVa (father b. WVa, mother b. Ohio), occupation retail grocery merchant; dau Betty M. Summers, 12, b. Pa; dau Helen F. Wass, 22, b. WVa, single; dau Virginia O. Wass, 20, b. WVa, single.

1935 Florida State Census, Sarasota Co, Florida, enumerated at E. 24th Street:

In the next household were Maud's daughter and her family:
Alton P. Bowers, 28, b. South Carolina, occupation ice plant; wife Virginia O. Bowers, 25, b. WVa; dau Virginia Dorothy Bowers, 2, b. Florida.

In the 1945 Florida State Census of Sarasota, Florida, Maud L. Summers was listed in the household of her daughter and son-in-law Virginia O. & A. P. Bowers.

43424 Two versions of Mary Neely Hart's obituary have been found. Both versions indicate a death date of Friday, 13 Jan 1893, a date that did in fact fall on a Friday. But her headstone has a death date of 11 Jan 1893, while a descendant's SAR application shows it as 3 Jan 1893. There is no death record for her.

(1) Clarksburg Telegram, Friday, January 20, 1893, in its entirety:
Mrs. Mary N. Hart died suddenly about 12 o'clock Friday night at her home in this city. She had been complaining for several days, but was not thought to be dangerously ill. Sometime during the evening, Doctors Morgan and Howell were called in and remained but a short time. Near midnight she grew rapidly worse and expired before any of the near neighbors could be summoned.
The Hart family, at the time of the mother's death, was composed of her daughter, Miss Lillie, her two sons Charles M. and John B. Hart, and their married sister Mrs. Chas. J. Goff. The father, Mr. Ira Hart, it will be remembered died from injuries received by being thrown out of a carriage on Main Street in 1879. The other daughter, Mrs. Wilson, lives in Pueblo, Colorado.

Ira Hart was a skilled artisan who died in 1879 when he was thrown from a buggy. The two sons are not mentioned by name in this article. The daughters include Mrs. Charles J. Goff, Clarksburg; Mrs. Henry Wilson, Pueblo, Colorado; and Miss Lillie Hart, at home with her brothers.

43427 Typed entry on death record showed birth date as Jul 9 1854, which was altered by pen to read Jul 9 1856. Age 77y 5m 24d would put birth at Jul 10 1856. But headstone shows birth date as only the year 1855. Death record also shows father as Shelton Ball and mother's maiden name as Roby. BALL, Mary Cordelia (I52754)
