Jane Pell Randall

Jane Pell Randall, born 5 Dec 1846. She is buried in Pine Grove Cemetery, South Sterling, Pike co. Pa. My grandfather Lewis Eggert is also buried their along with cousins and other family members. I have said this many times, I randomly just take photos of what “calls out” to me. I have been by Janes stone twice and have taken a picture of it each time. I found researching her really interesting and I am glad to share it with you. Jane is buried on the back side of the cemetery. If you take the road threw the cemetery she and some other graves are across from the house. I wonder if this was the original burial ground and then it just expanded from there. Jane Pell ancestors trace to Josiah Pell Sr.1734-1802 he fought in the American Revolution. Her pedigree can also be traced to the Pell family who were the Lordship of Pelham in Lincolnshire England. She died 12 Feb 1916 at Coolbaugh Twp., Monroe co., Pa. Jane parents Dr. Josiah (1807-1893) https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/78302937/josiah-pell & Patience Benjamin (1800-1859) Pell. Their children: Anna Clarissa 1837-1915, Phillander 1838-1898, George 1842-1864.In the 1880 census for Coolbaughs, It listed Jane as single and her father a Root herb Dr. I’ve been studying census records since I was 26 years old and have never seen that before. There is adopted children in the home also, Catherine Howey age 9 and I’m guessing brothers Micheal and Joel Nauman. When looking back to 1850 I was surprised to find that Janes real name was probably Hester or Esther Jane Pell. She married Frank L. Randell 2 Feb. 1899, he is still living when she dies in 1916. I cant find that she had any children. Her obituary Jane Pell Randall Died Feb. 12, 1916 aged 69 years Obituary - "Mrs. Frank Randall Dies - The death of Mrs. Frank Randall occurred on Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock, at her home at Mr. Pocono, resulting from an attack of acute bronchitis which culminated a week's illness.
