Phoebe Ann Bolton was the step-sister of Jeremiah Mark Carvell, my g-g-grandfather. She was the seventh child, and first daughter born to Joseph Britton and Mary Hyle Carvell.
The following obituary is from the Patriot, Harrisburg, Saturday, March 1, 1941. It is interesting to me, that Jeremiah is known still in 1941, in Harrisburg!
Mrs. Phoebe Ann Bolton, a sister of the late Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Carvell, former pastor of the First Church of God, died yesterday at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Meade H. Heagy, 1032 Swartara Street. She was 80 years old.Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Heagy, Mrs. Clinton White, Windber and Mrs. Lena Pike, Harrisburg, 12 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and a brother, Charles Carvell, Vicksburg, Michigan.
Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the daughter's home with the Rev. P. Max Hall, pastor of the Epworth Methodist Church, of which she was a member officiating. Burial will be in Paxtang Cemetery. Friends may call at the home tomorow from 6:30 to 9 PM.
