Cannot put the whole obituary for you becausee of living relatives but he is a section:-

George Edward Prosser - Cincinnati Enquirer, The - (Aug/2/2007)

Greater Cincinnatians will be able to pay their respects and say goodbye Saturday to Skip Prosser at a memorial Mass at Xavier University.

Mr. Prosser, former head basketball coach at XU, died July 26 of a heart attack in his office at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C., where he was the head coach.

Mr. Prosser, 56, coached the Xavier Musketeers from 1994 until 2001. He had been assistant to Coach Pete Gillen for eight seasons before that.

George Edward Prosser was born Nov. 3, 1950 in Pittsburgh. He played football and basketball at Carnegie High School - in a suburb of Pittsburgh - and went on to receive a degree in nautical science from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in 1972. He received a master's degree in secondary education from West Virginia University in 1980.

Mr. Prosser is the only coach to take three schools to the NCAA Tournament in his first year on the job.

His first head-coaching job was at Loyola College in Baltimore, where he coached the team to a 17-13 record and its only NCAA Tournament berth in the year he was there.

He was named Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year in 2003.

Mr. Prosser kept a home in Mount Lookout after leaving XU for Wake Forest in 2001.

Wow thanks for these results. They are amazing.

[*Sandra*]

No problem Ben.  I expect you will find loads more to read on "Skip" that will keep you busy for a while. I fully expect John will be able to find loads as well   

[coombs]

Yes John is helping me find Thomas Musgrave's death. Plus he will no doubt find other things out on his American descendants.

[*Sandra*]

Just re-reading and filling in the gaps I can see.

This is James Sutherland and Mary on:-

1920 Census Smith, Washington, Pennsylvania

James Southerland 31 Born Pennsylvania. Rents home. Coal-Miner
Mary Southerland 29
James Southerland 10
Margret Southerland 9

I am updating my gedcoms as I speak.

[*Sandra*]

Multi-tasking Ben.  I will have another look tomorrow. Can you explain the Thomas Wilson/Sutherland and the Wilson children. I was'nt quite sure who John mean't in his earlier post.   

[coombs]

In 1897 a Thomas William Wilson married a Sarah Sutherland. I think Thomas was the son of Elizabeth nee Musgrave born 1852 daughter of Thomas Musgrave. In the 1900 census he says he was born in England.
