Catherine Saylor Froman, Certificate of Death (transcription)

Gravestone of Catherine (Saylor) Froman
at Oak Hill Cemetery, Stoneboro, Mercer County, Pennsylvania


Catherine is a direct-line ancestor. My line to her: me -> my father, Lee Doyle -> Gust Doyle -> Tressa Froman Doyle -> Catherine Saylor Froman


Catherine's death certificate was a generous gift from Linda Bellerose, another Froman researcher.  We are still working to clarify the connection between her ancestor and my great-grandfather, John Froman, Catherine's husband.  This death certificate has extended my line one more generation with the naming of Catherine's father.  Thank you, Linda.

I am trying to puzzle together the situation in this family.  It seems that Catherine and her daughter, Tressa Froman Doyle, had little contact with each other as adults even though they lived in the same community.  Tressa's granddaughter, Tressa, did not remember ever having met Catherine.  Tressa (the younger) was 7 when Catherine died. I'll probably never know the story.
