Subject: Horr-Wilds Family Info
Here is what I know of the Horr/Harr family from McKeesport, PA. This family first appears on the 1900 US Federal Census residing in McKeesport, PA. Subsequent Federal Census reports from 1910, 1920, and 1930 give us Balthasar's and Elizabeth's children's families. Married names for the girls were found in an obituary. Some dates were learned from the Social Security Death Index. Generation 1: **Balthasar (Paul) Horr born July 1862 in Germany immigrated around 1881 and died October 4, 1939, married Elizabeth unknown, born April 1867 in Germany immigrated here around 1883 and died August 6, 1955, and had children: Anna born January 1882 (child of Elizabeth from Germany) George L. born January 26, 1890, died March 1986 Margaret born January 1893 Fred born December 1895 Dena born September 1898 Generation 2: **Anna Horr married unknown Keller and lived in Canonsburg. **George L. Harr married Olive Wilds, born November 23, 1892 daughter of George and Esther Lewis Wilds, died February 21, 1977 in McKeesport and had children: George D. born March 28, 1913, died September 22, 2001 Esther A. born 1914 Margaret E. born 1915 Fred W. born 1918 Bertha G. born 1919 Jean born 1921 Jack born January 21, 1922, died September 1998 **Margaret Horr married Charles Hazelhoff born 1882 and lived in McKeesport and had children: William born 1918 Elizabeth born 1921 Carl born 1925 **Fred Horr married Ruth unknown born 1895 and had children: Donald born 1927 **Dena Horr married William H. Loveall born 1898, they lived in McKeesport and Versailles, and had children: Leona born 1925 Hazel born 1929 Note: For some unknown reason, George Horr somewhere along the line became George Harr and this is the name he is buried with, however, the other children of Balthasar maintained the original spelling Horr.
