My Truby Family Findings: Children of David and Mary Truby

Margaret Catherine "Maggie" Truby
born: about 1865 - Rockmere, Venango County, Pennsylvania
died: 27 Sept 1925 - Warren, Warren County, Pennsylvania

Maggie was the 7th child of David and Mary Bortz Truby. She was married to James Bert Manross (Sept 5, 1860-Mar 22, 1927). He was the son of James Northrup Manross and his second wife, Olive Manson/Munson. James Northrup was a pioneer in Venango County who married three times and had 17 children.

obituary of Maggie's father-in-law, James Northrup Manross

James Bert Manross, Maggie's husband, was in the oil industry and traveled widely for his work. That may be part of the reason she divorced him in June of 1918. However, Maggie did not remarry and his death certificate lists her as his wife, so I believe she is the widow referred to in his obituary even though he was living with their daughter.

James Bert Manross and Margaret Catherine Truby were the parents of:

1. Mary E "Marie" (b Feb 22, 1885) married Jacob Weber (Mar 20, 1878-Dec 4, 1926) on Aug 21, 1912 in Erie Co PA. He committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid. I don't believe they had any children together.

This article is about two separate incidents. Anna Forhmeyer is not Jacob's wife, Mary, whose name is not mentioned in the article.

Mary then married Henry Warnhouse on May 30, 1927 in Chautauqua Co NY. It was her second and his third marriage. They were 42 and 50 respectively at the time of their marriage.

2. Bert Daniel (Aug 21, 1887-July 22, 1954) married to Faye Muriel Dundas (1901-1994). He died in Simco County, Ontario, Canada from a cerebral hemorrhage secondary to hypertension. Bert and Faye were the parents of:

     Norman C (abt 1922)
     June Macey (abt 1926) married to Manuel Paul Nunes. They were the parents of: Judy (Marino), Cheryl (James Bemin), Karen (Patrick Feron) and Kim.

3. Mildred Ellen (June 29, 1889-Mary 13, 1966) married to Frank L Iseman (1883-1974) on May 29, 1908 in Warren Co PA. They were the parents of:
     Frank L Jr
     William "Billie" (b Mar 27, 1913)
     Gordon J (Apr 18, 1915-Aug 27, 2006)
Mildred divorced Frank Iseman on Nov 1, 1937 and left for California the very next day. She lived in California until her death in 1966. She apparently was very adamant when she said she was through with Frank Iseman.
