Need Help with Josephine Clate Mathews

Question

Aunt Sue's compilation of our family's genealogy shows that Charles Augustus Mathews Sr. married a 2nd time in 1955 to a woman named Josephine Clate. I've found marriage confirmation from a list of Henry Snoots Descendants which includes an obituary for Charles and his first wife Mary Ellen Snoots (Person 71). His obituary notes the second marriage. I also found mention of this marriage from a Pyle genealogy (Person 32362 3353 9). None of these record where Josephine was born or her birth date.

I managed to locate a FAG record for Josephine Clate Mathews and she is buried in Elmira, New York. Headstone records birth in 1904 and death in 1987.

I also found a 1925 New York census record, but it didn't list who Josephine was living with. I think it might be my Josephine because son Charles Jr. (who may be living) married in 1954 a woman from Elmira, New York.

Since I can't afford Ancestry, I'm hoping one of you will be able to shed some light on Josephine by helping me find more information. I hate leaving a profile so blank!

Answer 1

I found nothing on Ancestry, except there are more than one Charles Augustus Mat(t)hews.

Comments

If he married her in 1955 and she was born 1904 was she married before and was Clate her first husband’s name?

Thanks for hunting and finding the 1930 Census. I'll add it to research notes. It reveals more than the 1925 New York one did.

There's more than Charles Sr. and his son Charles Jr.?
