Minnesota Oscar's parents are Reuben W. YORK and Suey [I don't know about
this spelling, I spelled it as I found it.] Elizabeth "BROWN", who are buried
in Connetticut. Oscar was one of the first members of the La Fayette
Lodge #116 A.F. & A.M. in Brownsdale, Minnesota. This information comes
from the Newspapers of the area. Austin Weekly of Austin, Minnesota for the
appropriate years stated.
I was looking at your site
and noticed under the Minnesota Marriages the mention of Sarah & Oscar
York.
This is my family and I
wanted to clarify a few things for that page.
Oscar Reuben York's real
name was Reuben Oscar York. He went by his middle name so he wouldn't be
confused with his father Deacon Reuben W. York. His mother was Lucy
Elizabeth Brown (not Suey as your page lists it). ALSO, Sarah & Reuben (aka
Oscar) were married in Voluntown, New London County, Connecticut. They
later moved to Minnesota.
His parents
(Deacon Reuben W. York & Lucy Elizabeth Brown) are buried in Union
Cemetary in North Stonington, New London County, Connecticut.
Hope this will help others
researching this line.
