The 4th of 10 children of Samuel Schlief and Katherine Hoffman, , Mary was the three times great-aunt of Jay Hannah, was born in Peekskill, Westchester, New York on Sep 20, 1860 and married John Sessler (with whom she had 3 children: Bertha, Carl and George) in Sigourney, Iowa on Oct 3, 1882.
She died on Oct 2, 1946 in Fairfield, Iowa1.
Here are two pictures that I have,in the first one Mary Schlief Sessleris on the far left, Nellie is in the middle left then Bertha is in themiddle right,and Lizzie is on the far right
In the second picture Lizzie is on the left Mary is in the middle andHiram is on the right.
I blew up the pictures a little so they might show up kind of boxy but Iwanted to make sure you could see them well.
Mary Sessler Had two sons as well as Bertha they were George M. (b 1890in Iowa) and Carl Herman (b 1894). George married Ruth M.( I dont knowher last name , I gotten this from a census ) and they had a son George E.(b 1928 in Texas).
Bertha Sessler Riley had 4 children John Jay (7/31/1920 in Fairfield)Mary(b 1925 in Iowa (probably Fairfield but I gotten that from a censustoo)) Frances (b 1928 in Fairfield ) and Andrew. John J. married MarjorieEleanor Mack in the 1940s not exactly sure what year and they had adaughter Marjorie E. Jr and 2 months later his wife died of cancer. Heremarried to Blanche McDonald and had 3 more kids John Jay Jr 1952, David(still born), and Barbara Ann 1956. Frances married John Charles Lutherand they have 3 children but I cant remember thier names I have to lookthem up Frances and her husband are still living in Waukon Iowa She iswhere I gotten all of the pictures and info from. Knowone knows whathappened to Mary or if she is even still alive. And Andrew died when hewas very young.
I havent been able to go back any farther then Samuel and Katherine,Hoffman is such a common name which makes it difficult to get anywhere.
I hope that I have been able to help you AngelonIce@@nc.rr.com.
