My mother Catherine M (Kile) (1883-1958) born in Leesburg PA (?), died Mechanicsburg PA to David R Halter (1853-1935) and Clara D ? (1856-1934). Both died in Walnut Bottom PA aka Jacksonville PA. My grandfather owned a general store and had a orchestra in Walnut Bottom. My mother's brother Adam R. (1888-1918) died in the great flu epidemic of 1918. Sister Abbie (1886-?) was a nanny most of her life marrying a Joseph Sprenkle in 1940's. Would appreciate any info regarding David, Clara and predecessors.
Thanks , Fred Kile
