Sixth Generation

32. Jacob DESCH Jr. was born on 21 Feb 1865 in Phoenixville, PA, USA.^99,100,101 His death certificate says he was born on February 21, 1864. The 1900 census says he was born in February 1865 and his marriage certificate (June 1896) says he was 27. Previous unsubstantiated data had him born in Phoenixville, PA on 21 Feb. 1871. The 1910 census has him 50 years old, which would make him born in 1960. The 1920 census, taken in January, has him 54 years old, which would agree with the Feb. 1865 birth which is used here.

He was a railroad employee from 1892 to 1931.¹⁰² On his marriage certificate and his son Arthur's birth certificate he was listed as an engineer. On his daughter Eva's birth and death certificates (1899) he was listed as a laborer. In 1930 he was listed as a "railroad [fireman or foreman - illegible]." On his death certificate it lists him as a janitor for the Lehigh Valley RR through June 1931 and states that he had spent 39 years in this occupation.

He lived in Waverly, Essex, New Jersey, USA before 15 Jun 1896.¹⁰² He died "of endarteritis obliterans in right leg with amputation" on 16 Jul 1931 in Newark, Essex, NJ, USA.¹⁰¹ He was buried on 18 Jul 1931 in Newark, Essex, NJ, USA.¹⁰¹ Evergreen Cemetery. Jacob DESCH Jr. and Susan Presler (Susie) BRINTON were married on 15 Jun 1896 in Newark, Essex, NJ, USA.¹⁰² Married at the Halsey Street Methodist-Episcopal Church (75 Halsey) in the presence of Edith M. and Olin F. McCormick.

They lived at 253 Elizabeth Avenue in Newark, Essex, NJ, USA in 1899/1900.^{23,103,104,105} Their son Arthur Dearwood's birth (July 1905) took place at 63 Watson Ave, Newark, so it is possible that this was their 1905 residence. They lived at 361 Johnson Avenue in Newark, Essex, NJ, USA on 15 Apr 1910.²⁴ They lived at 320 Ridgewood Avenue in Newark, Essex, NJ, USA on 1 Jan 1920.²⁵ They lived at 315 Hillside Avenue in Newark, Essex, NJ, USA on 1 Apr 1930.⁹⁹ Rent was $40 per month.

33. Susan Presler (Susie) BRINTON was born on 11 Dec 1868 in Delaware, USA.^{99,102,106,107} Original unsourced data had her born on 11 Dec. 1968. The 1900 census data said "Dec. 1867," the 1870 census said she was 2 and the 1880 census said she was 11. Her marriage certificate (June 1896) says she is 27. I have used 11 Dec. 1868 here.

According to the 1930 census, she was 57 years old, which would make her birth year either 1872 or 1873. . . This is likely an attempt to ward off old age. She lived in Cranford, Union, NJ, USA before 15 Jun 1896.¹⁰² She died on 3 Jan 1956 in Garwood, NJ, USA. Children were:
