MATHANY AND GEIGER FAMILY

 

My husband's Great Uncle John Wesley Mathany worked at the Glass Factory in Coshocton Ohio. He had been transferred there from Wallaceburg Ontario Canada where Dominion Glass also had a factory. He married a Coshocton girl, Forrest F. Geiger daughter of David Geiger and Margaret Leach, in 1912 and they had 6 children, two of whom died as infants. They then divorced and Wes Mathany married again and moved to Alberta Canada.

I would be interested in finding others interested in this family. Deborah Burr, Forest Ontario Canada ember@xcelco.on.ca
