Adelia Margaret Mathis

This is the sixth in our photo series on the children of Joshua and Rebecca Grant Mathis. Their sixth child was Adelia Margaret "Dee" Mathis.

Following is a brief family history.
Adelia Margaret Mathis, daughter of Joshua H. and Rebecca (Grant) Mathis. Born July 24, 1909, died April 22, 1992. Married Arlington Conrad. In 1982, they were living in Green Bank. They are buried in the Green Bank Cemetery. They had one child:

i Eva May Conrad married William Walters

The 1930 Bass River Township Census shows Arlington and Adelia as a young couple. He is 24 years old, and she just 18. They had been married about two years before and were living on North Maple Avenue. The census shows that their neighbors were Samuel B. Allen, William E. Adams, Joseph B. Mathis, and Otto Kalm. Alittle detective work should reveal which house they were living in. Perhaps, someone out in the Blog-O-Sphere will figure it out.


Following are some photos of the Adelia and Arlington Conrad family.

That's about all that I have on Adelia Margaret Mathis. Any additional information and/or photos that our Blog readers can provide would be appreciated.
