• Notes

  Elsie was also married to Frank Stout. Elsie Roch was the first of 12 children born to Ernest Roch & Nellie Osell. She was born at the Preston Retreat (1865) in Philadelphia, a hospital for indigent women of high moral caliber. Delivered by the famous Dr. Joseph Price. She was delivered 10Dec1892 and died at 87 years on 21Aug1980, my mother Barbara?s 59th birthday. The birth date on the stone (1885) is incorrect. Her internment was handled by her younger sister and 9th child Irene Grace Rock Craig. I saw her last in November, 1963 at my grandfather?s retirement party, her brother Edward Albert (5th). Irene was there as was Ethel (Sis) 11th. Myrtle (12) was tending Mary (3) who died that December. Walter Robert (10) and his family were absent When Nellie died on February 27, 1920, Elsie bought a 3 person plot at Fernwood Cemetery, Yeadon, PA. Lot 473, Section 50 as well as the stone. It was later deeded to Edward Albert. Now me. Buried there are Irene on the left, Ernest and Nellie in the center, Edward Albert, Theresa Mary, Edward Anthony and Barbara Amelia (my parents) on the right. Chiseled on the right stone is ?Infant Gerard Dec. 1943, Edward 1949-, and Geralyn B. 1956 ??. On Irene?s ?Infant Ruth Jean 1933?. No record when she married Frank Stout but she is buried with him and his son from a previous marriage, Ralph, who died young. Internment was Chelten Hills Cemetery in Philadelphia. Plot D, Lot391, Grave 3. Irene (2000), Ethel (Sis) Hagan (1986) and Myrtle (12th) (Peggy) Bishop (2003) outlived her. Elsie was named after her maternal grandmother Elsie Osell who died in 1885. Nellie was from the village of West Bromwich (pronounced with a silent ?w?), St. Andrews Parish, northwest of Birmingham. It is known as the ?Black Country? for it is part of a coal region. Seems that Nellie escaped being a coal miner?s wife. She returned in 1893-4 with the 9 month old Elsie to visit her father William. She returned to America with Elsie on the "British Princess" boat Jan 25 1894 with 6 pounds in her purse (about $9). Their second child, Nellie Roch was born Nov.1894 so I guess Ernest was happy to see his wife. Elsie was part of the 1900 census at 8, and later appeared in the Jan-Feb 1920 census as Elsie Truttenger. She lived with her parents, two other married sisters, Nellie and Mary (no husbands mentioned) as well as five other children including my grandfather Edward. As well as Walter (who died on her birthday 10Dec1972), Irene and Ethel. Myrtle appears for the first time, born 3MAR 1919. By then Ernest, Jr (1902), George (1913), Harry (1915) and Florence Martha (1908) were dead. Within 60 days of the 1920 census, her mother Nellie Osell Roch, sadly, was gone. Then their second child, her sister Nellie Roch Robertson, died in childbirth 29Jan1921. September 2015 Edward Rock Courtesy of Edward Rock.
