Hello Heath,
The dates seem to be a little muddled. Is this who you mean:-
Ellen P. McCauley
Born 25 November 1911 and died 10 August 2003
Last Residence: 15771 Rochester Mills, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
SSN was issued in Pennsylvania (1965)

yes I have the date as 25 nov 1903 but I will go with you - No records found for >Name: ellen mccauley, Event: Death, Place: rochester mills pennsylvania, Year: 1902-1904
-
It would be pretty amazing if someone born in 1911 died in 1903. ;)
In case it helps you in the future, the Social Security Death Index is free on www.familysearch.org and www.rootsweb.com. Personally, I think the advanced search on rootsweb.com tends to be a bit easier to use, but each have their pros and cons. One thing to keep in mind about the SSDI is that the last residence is not necessarily the place where the person died. If she did die in Pennsylvania and you are looking for her death certificate, they aren't available online and would need to be ordered from the state.

Re: Ellen P. McCauley

If Sandra's discovery is the person you are searching, she seems to be buried in a cemetery in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, which is near Pittsburgh, 60 miles or so west of Rochester Mills. The cemetery is Oakmont-Verona Cemetery.
There is an entry for Ellen and a picture of a family gravestone (with corresponding dates) on Findagrave.com. Her maiden name seems to be Phillips and her husband's name seems to be F. Leonard McCauley (unless the creator of the Findagrave entry made a mistake), who died April 30, 2003.
Go here to view it: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=McCauley&GSfn=ellen&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSst=40&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=39324549&df=all&
I noticed on the SSDI entry that her date of death had a "V" next to it. That means the "report of the death was verified with a family member or someone acting on behalf of a family member."
I checked the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper for obits for both Ellen McCauley and her husband, but found nothing.
The closest newspapers to Rochester Mills would be the Indiana Gazette (published in Indiana, Pennsylvania, twenty miles fro Rochester Mills and the county seat of Indiana County). Back issues of the Indiana Gazette are on newspaperarchive.com, if anyone has access to it.
The other paper is the Punxsutawney Spirit in the town of Punxsutawney, about eight miles north of Rochester Mills.

Her madian name was McClelland, Husband George - so we have the wrong date here. :-[ Will try for her sister.- Julia Warner death 4 11 1997 Trevose, PA , husband Elmer. born 1904 and keep looking for Ellen at this time.
-
Julia Warner
Born 5 April 1904 and died 4 November 1997
Last Residence: 32906 Palm Bay, Brevard, Florida,
SSN was issued in Pennsylvania (1951)
Looks like the last residence was Brevard. Florida - the public library in Brevard have a contact us/ask the librarian link, perhaps that might be worth a try.

In case you want to search for Julia in Pennsylvania: Trevose is a close suburb of Philadelphia, three hundred miles across Pennsylvania from Rochester Mills.
Can you post anything additional about Ellen? If you don't mind my asking, what is it you're looking for?

After further comformation - Ellen was last known in 1948 Ambler PA, unable to trace on SSN. Husband George. Parents William McClelland death 1941 Mother M. Ella death 1948. Interment Sunset Memorial Park not sure were this could be in PA. If anyone can help me here with a photo.
I am trying to trace the family up words.
-
Sunset Memorial Park is located in Feasterville, Bucks County, PA. Maybe this website can help:
www.interment.net/data/us/pa/bucks/sunset/mempark.htm
-
no luck there only two posted and it's a paid site.
-
Have you contacted the Cemetery to confirm your William and Ella are buried at Sunset Memorial Park ? Or to see if any other family members are buried in the same plot perhaps ?
Perhaps this entry has the names of the people you are enquiring about. ??? Which would make Ellen T born about 1908 and Julia born about 1904 (which is correct for the SSDI record - posted earlier.
Bensalem, Bucks, Pennsylvania
William Mcclelland 50 Born Ireland. Farmer.
Ellie M Mcclelland 51 Born PA
Julia E Mcclelland 16 Born PA
Ellen T Mcclelland 12 Born PA
Margaret Mcclelland 11 Born PA
Thomas Nolan 45 Hired Man
William Lankins 65 Hired Man.

Another previous thread on William McClelland
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,446439.0.html
Heath,
You had the information on Ellen - birth year and census records etc from previous thread, a fuller explanation in your original request could have saved wasting time.
Sandra :(

I have been waitting for over eighteen months to get a photo from find a grave with no luck,and I am unable to get any one to do this until the first person replies. given up with them.
As I said last known 1948 in Amber PA. Mothers death .
-
31 photo requests listed for Sunset Memorial Park on find a grave and didn't see one listed for McClelland ???
-
Well I have requested one, and as late as yeasterday they would not accepted, my request stating there was one request for that person. Perhaps someone else can request it and see what happens.
-
