Martin J. Coleman [Parents] 1, 2 was born 3, 4, 5 on 2 Nov 1866 in Ballaghaderreen, Rosscommon, Ireland. He died 6 on 17 Jul 1904 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., PA. He was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery, Yeadon, PA. He married Delia Agnes Carr on 27 Dec 1893 in St. Elizabeth, Philadelphia, Pa.
A search of Irish birth records from 1864 to 1868 has not revealed a birth record for Martin J. Coleman.
In 1900, Martin J. Coleman rented a home in Philadelphia. The edge of the page that shows the street and house number is obscured by black tape. The house number may be 3430 and the street (judging by entries on adjacent pages) may be Clearfield St. (Clearfield runs parallel to Allegheny Ave. The house number would put the residence near the end of the street about two blocks from Long Hill Cemetery.) Living in the home with Martin (33) were his wife of seven years, Delia (33), and children George (5) and Eva (2). The couple also had a a third child who died prior to 1900. Also living in the household was 31 year old unmarried Patrick Coleman, believed to be Martin's brother. According to the census, Martin came to America in 1877. He had been in the States for 23 years and was a naturalized citizen. He was employed as a bartender.
Delia Agnes Carr [Parents] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 was born 8 on 2 Feb 1866 in Galway or Cork, Ireland. She died on 3 Jan 1956 in Montgomery, Montgomery Co., PA. She was buried in Holy Sepulchre, Philadelphia, PA. She married Martin J. Coleman on 27 Dec 1893 in St. Elizabeth, Philadelphia, Pa.
Delia arrived in America in either 1889 (per 1900 census) or 1887 (per 1920 census). The 1890 Philadelphia City Directory lists a Delia Carr, dressmaker, at 1744 N. 27th St. She became a naturalized citizen in 1892 (per 1920 census).
In 1920, 53 year old widow Delia Coleman owned a mortgaged home at 2431 Oakdale St. in Philadelphia. Living with her were her sons, George A. (24) and Joseph M. (17). Joseph attended school. According to the census, Delia was not employed, but both boys were.
At tthe time of the 1930 census, Delia Coleman (67) owned a home worth $4000 at 503 Luray St. in Philadelphia. She lived with her unmarried son, Joseph (27). Delia did not work outside the home. The family did not own a radio set. One of the questions asked by the census was "number of years married." Interestingly, Delia answered "30" to this question, even though she had been married only 10 years before her husband died.
Delia is not buried with her husband because she didn't "want to be over there in all those weeds."
They had the following children:
M i George Aloysius Coleman F ii Eva Coleman M iii infant Coleman was born about 1899 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., PA. He died about 1899 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., PA.

From The Chronicle Telegram (Elyria, OH), 5 Feb 1932:
PELLAGRA DATES BACK TO DAYS OF CIVIL WAR
WASHINGTON - Knowledge of the existence in the United States
of pellagra dates as far back as 1864, the United States Public Health Service
reports. It was long thought that cases of this dietary deficiency disease first
were reported after the turn of the century, but certain studies recently inaugu-
rated by the Health Service have revealed unique historical evidence concerning
pellagra.
In 1864, a physician in New York and another in Massachusetts each
reported a case of pellagra. Another New York physician reported cases in 1882
and 1902. Most reports, however, have come from the South, where Negroes
and poor whites, feeding chiefly on corn pone, poorly cooked pork, meal, flour,
potatoes and molasses, have suffered in great numbers.
In 1912, a South Carolina practitioner announced, after a study of
clinical records of the state hospital for the insane and correspondence with state
officials and physicians, that pellagra had existed there at lease since 1828.
It was not until 1919, however, and years subsequent, that Dr. Joseph
Goldberger of the Health Service dispelled theories that pellagra was communicable
and due to a bacillus. By experiments with human “guinea pigs” in Mississippi
and South Carolina, Goldberger determined that pellagra was entirely of dietary
origin. It is most prevalent among the poor dirt farmers of the South, and in years
of depression, such as 1907 and again this year, it manifests itself more strongly
than usual.

It is now known that pellagra is a disease due to deficiency of B vitamins, seen primarily in people whose diet consists chiefly of corn products.F iii Beatrice Katherine Cosgrove
Louis Albert Schweinberg [Parents] 1, 2, 3, 4 was born 5 on 24 Oct 1881 in Braddock, Allegheny Co., PA. He was christened in St. Joseph's, Braddock, Allegheny Co., PA. He died 6 on 9 May 1934 in Braddock, Allegheny Co., PA. He was buried 7, 8 in Braddock Catholic Cemetery, Braddock, Allegheny Co., PA. He married 9 Laura Appolonia Singer on 10 Sep 1903 in St. Joseph's, Braddock, Allegheny Co., PA.
In 1900, 18 year old Louis "Schurmberger" lived with his parents and siblings at the family home at 417 Verona St. in Braddock, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Louis was employed as a day laborer.
In 1910, 28 year old Louis Schweinberg rented a house at 524 Seddon Ave. in North Braddock, PA with his 27 year old wife and their two sons, Cyril (5) and Edward (18 months). Louis was employed as a laborer in a factory.
In 1920, 38 year old Louis Schweinberg lived in a mortgaged house at 418 Seddon Ave. with his 36 year old wife Laura and their two sons, Cyril (15) and Edward (11). Louis worked at the Westinghouse in Braddock as an assembler (making rheostats and such).
By the time of the 1930 census, the family had moved to 528 Seddon Ave., a home the family would own until Laura's death in 1975. The house was valued at $5500. Louis and Cyril were both employed as laborers... Louis at an electric plant, and Cyril in the steel works. Edward was a clerical worker for a steam railway. The Schweinberg family owned a radio set, as did many of their neighbors. Adjacent homes in the census were owned by the Quiigley and Anderson families.
Laura Appolonia Singer [Parents] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 was born 6, 7 on 9 Feb 1883 in Fulda, Noble Co., OH. She was christened on 11 Feb 1883 in St. Mary Immaculate Conception, Fulda, Noble Co., OH. She died 8, 9 on 8 Sep 1975 in Braddock, Allegheny Co., PA. She was buried 10, 11 in Braddock Catholic Cemetery, Braddock, Allegheny Co., PA. She married 12 Louis Albert Schweinberg on 10 Sep 1903 in St. Joseph's, Braddock, Allegheny Co., PA.
Laura Singer was about eight years old when her father sold the farm in Fulda to a coal company and moved the family to North Braddock, PA (outside Pittsburgh). Laura was a third-generation American... she was born here, as were her mother and her grandmother. Despite this, when Laura started to attend St. Joseph's school in Braddock, she spoke no English.
In 1900, 17 year old Laura Singer lived with her parents and younger siblings in the family's rented home at 18 Hickory Street, North Braddock. Laura was employed as a clerk in a store.
From the Zanesville Signal (pg 15) 21 Sep 1939:
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Noll entertained at dinner Monday evening at their home in Olive,
and covers were laid for Rev. Fr. H.A. Estadt of Columbus, Mrs. Laura Schweinberg of
Pittsburgh, Pa., Mrs. Cecelia Tuma of Marietta, and Mrs. Joseph Estadt, Matilda and
Clarence J. Estadt and Miss Marguerite Noll, all of Caldwell.
They had the following children:
M i Cyril Francis Schweinberg 1, 2, 3, 4 was born on 23 Dec 1904 in N. Braddock, Allegheny Co., PA. He was christened in St. Joseph's, Braddock, Allegheny Co, PA. He died on 9 Feb 1967 in Braddock, Allegheny Co., PA. He was buried 5, 6 in Braddock Catholic Cemetery, Braddock, Allegheny Co., PA.
Records conflict on year of birth:
1) Social Security Death index states 1904.
2) Younger brother Ed Schweinberg says 1904
3) Headstone says 1905.
Cyril was quiet and introspective, in counterpoint to his brother's gregarious nature. As a young man, Cyril was involved with a woman named Mabel Spangler. His brother Ed remembers that Mabel was a very attractive girl who had won a prize in a beauty contest. Cyril and Mabel wanted to get married, but several family members -- notably Aunt Dora Schweinberg Heil -- strongly disapproved because Mabel wasn't Catholic. Cyril and Mabel broke up. Cyril never married.
Cyril suffered a stroke in his 50s, and walked with a cane. He lived with his mother until his death.M ii Edward Louis Schweinberg
