     Mary Almira Halteman appeared on the census enumerated on 14 April 1930 at 43 East Revere Avenue, Northfield, Atlantic County, New Jersey, living with William S. Halteman and Ida G Halteman as a daughter.

     William S. Halteman was born on 19 June 1880 at home, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.^1,2,3,4,5 William S. Halteman was also known as William Schultz Halteman. However, he had, as far as he knew, no middle name. He used the initial S from his earliest years.¹ He received the sacrament of Holy Communion every time it was celebrated from October 1898 till April 1901 inclusive with the exception of October 1900, and also in January of 1902 and October of 1904 in St. Vincent Reformed Church, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.⁶ He was baptized as an adult on 13 November 1898 at age 18 in St. Vincent Reformed Church, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The Rev. Howard Long conducted the services.⁷ He played a slide trombone, which he bought in November 1898 from George Deimer. He started to play with a band in January 1900, and joined the Spring City band. Their band festival, in which he played, was on Aug. 18, 1900: they cleared $110. He later played with the Germamia Band of Norristown, Pennsylvania for the Evansbury Festival on June 14, 1902, and he later joined that band. He first heard John Philip Sousa and his band in concert at Mullan Grove, when he played there from May 30th to June 28th 1902; Sousa then played at the Steeple Chase Pier, Atlantic City. In later years, he would take every opportunity he could to see John Philip Sousa and his band whenever they would play on the Atlantic City boardwalk. He loved their march music.
     He could also sing; he had a rich bass voice. He resisted the efforts of the church organist, and of Mae Bessor, who pleaded with him, to recruit him for the church choir.
     William S. Halteman was by trade, a carpenter.^8,9,10,11,12 He was by necessity, a driver, a deliveryman, for the laundry operated by his wife's brother-in-law.¹³ He joined Carpenters and Joiners Union No. 997 on 18 February 1902 in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.

Halteman married Melvina Raysor, daughter of William Hudson Raysor and Rachel Perch, on 28 June 1902 at the parsonage of St. Vincent Reformed Church which was very probably 270 Chestnut Street,¹⁵ Spring City, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The Rev. Howard Long conducted the ceremony, which was witnessed by John P. Spring of Norristown, as best man, and Anna E. Gresh, also of Norristown, as bridesmaid.^16,17 A coal black stray cat, named Topsy, showed up at their home at 1213 Willow Street, Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, on the night of Tuesday, 9 September 1902--- and was adopted. William S. Halteman joined a volunteer fire company, Norris Hose Co., on 6 September 1907 in Norristown, Pennsylvania, His badge number was 167, and he fought several fires. He ceased living at 21 Beech Street, Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, on 3 October 1909. He took his sons to board with Josiah.

     William S. Halteman went to the Million Dollar Pier, Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Monday, 29 January 1912. He started to take dancing lessons. This was when he met Mary Woods and her daughter Ida. They would not meet again for eight years. He asked Ida to dance and she found that he had two left feet; he stepped on her toes.¹⁸ He was a pallbearer at Almira Halteman's funeral in her home, East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, on 11 November 1915.¹⁹ William S. Halteman was registered for the draft on 12 September 1918 in Upper Darby, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.¹² He was described as being a 38-year-old white male of medium height and slender build in September 1918.¹² He was employed by Emergency Fleet Corp. in September 1918 in 68th Street and Elmwood Avenue, West Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.¹² He lived in September 1918 in 33 Coopertown Road, Oakmont, Upper Darby Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.⁴ He and Ida Gregory Woods were engaged on 23 July 1921. William S.

     William S. Halteman and Ida lived between October 1921 and 8 February 1922 at 124 North Second Street, Pleasantville, Atlantic County, New Jersey. William S. Halteman and Ida lived between 8 February 1922 and 22 May 1922 at West Jersey Avenue, Pleasantville, Atlantic County, New Jersey. William S.

He joined Central Methodist Episcopal Church in Linwood, Atlantic County, New Jersey, on 21 February 1926. The Rev. Walter C. Bishop received him into membership. He enjoyed baseball; he was a Philadelphia fan, but he was realistic about their chances. He was known to say that they would trade any decent player they had playing for them. He was usually right about that. He was registered for the draft on 26 April 1942 in Pleasantville, Atlantic County, New Jersey.⁴ He was described as a 61-year-old white man, five feet eight and a half inches tall, weighing about 150 pounds, with hazel eyes, grey hair and of rudd complexion on 26 April 1942 in Northfield, Atlantic County, New Jersey.⁴ He petitioned for a delayed birth certificate on 6 August 1942 from the Orphan's Court of Chester County, Pennsylvania. He sought the birth record so he could collect Social Security; he was 62-years-old at the time. The petition was granted by Judge Coust Woods on 3 August 1942. Supporting affidavits were filed by Josiah S. Halteman, Amos Kolb and Nora Hartman.¹ William S. Halteman and Ida lived on and after on 6 September 1949 in 2606 Wabash Avenue, Northfield, Atlantic County, New Jersey.²⁴ William S. Halteman rented out his home on Wabash Avenue in November 1957.²⁵ Told to me by June Bolton, on Easter Sunday 5 April 2015, my grandfatther preferred to eat breakfast before going to bed--not n the morning. It is well known in the family that he started the *tradition* of requesting "a small piece of each" when asked which dessert he wanted at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. That answer was very soon thereafter employed by Uncle Harry--he said he liked the answer; both Bob and my father, in due time, took up the same response. I, in the third generation, have kept up the family tradition. June doesn't even ask sometimes anymore. He was taken ill with prostate gland trouble on 2 June 1959. He was operated on 5 June 1959 at Shore Memorial Hospital, Somers Point, Atlantic County, New Jersey, On 15 June 1959 he suffered a stroke.²⁶ He died at 2 am on 5 July 1959 in Mayfair Nursing Home, Somers Point, Atlantic County, New Jersey, at age 79 years and 16 days.^8,27,28 The cause of William's death was cerebral thrombosis.⁸ His obituary appeared in The Atlantic City Press, Atlantic City, Atlantic County, New Jersey, on say 6 July 1959.

She was received by letter and the pastor receiving her into membership was John W. Nicholson.⁷ She and William S. Halteman were engaged on 23 July 1921. Ida Gregory Woods married William S.

     Politically, she was, like the rest of her family, a member of the Republican Party. On Election day, she would be a challenger for the different candidates at the polls, and would prepare lunch for the poll workers at the church, where they would be served. It was believed that she knew everybody in town. She made it her business to know all persons. She would avow that she knew Evelyn Nesbit, that she moved into the house at the conner of Shore and Mill Roads. This is attested to by others in the city. She would add that Miss Nesbit---or Mrs Thaw---was a Methodist, or at least attended the Methodist church. I have subsequently checked the records of Central Methodist in Linwood and have found no record of a membership by Evelyn Nesbit under any of the names she used in her lifetime. I have not been able to check the records at Northfield Methodist.

     She would never let the telephone ring more than thrice. If she was calling somebody, you had to pick up the telephone by the third ring, or she would hang up.

     She could play the piano and the organ. She could not read music but she could, and did, play the organ by ear. She would subsitute for any organist who could not play the organ that week; she would play at any church which needed her.

He was renting the home in which he was living, which was not a farm, and the monthly rent was $12. He was not attending school and the highest grade he completed was listed as "none." He was working as a janitor, employed by Metal Works in private employment. He had worked 40 hours in the previous week and had been at work for 44 weeks in 1939. He received $990 from his employment and had no other income. He was classified as a salary or wage worker.²⁸.

     Johanna was born in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, on 25 December 1858. She always celebrated her birthday on Christmas and every record that gives a date gives December 25th as the date or December as the month of birth; likewise, every document lists Pennsylvania as the state of birth, and her death certificate states Philadelphia. Various ages and different years have been given, this being the one changable "fact." The 1870 census records her as 12-years-old; she is not recorded as immigrating with her parents when they arrived 6 December 1858.² Conflicting evidence states that Johanna was born in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, on various different dates. The month and day was always December 25th when a month or day was specified, the year changed according to the record. Her death certificate states 1874, while various censuses give ages that calculate to 1875, according to the 1915 New Jersey state census, or 1868 according to the 1900 federal census, where the month and year are given. Her gravestone (I've seen it several times) reads 1875. All these dates are wrong, however, as it appears she was enumerated in the 1870 census as a 12-year-old, and also as a 17-year-old, although the age of 17 might well be an error due to the handwriting. And any date after 1869 is clearly impossible, as her mother died then.^3,4,5 Conflicting evidence states that Johanna Volbert was born on 25 December 1852 in Pennsylvania. These records, however, are incorrect. The census record was misread, as shown by a second enumeration, and various other dates have been given.^6,7 Johanna Volbert was also rendered as Joanna Folbert Also as FULBERT. It was an incorrect misspelling of the phonetically given surname.⁸ She was adopted in St. Vincent Orphanage, Tacony, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, by a family named HEMESBOCK or HEMESBACH or possibly HEMMESBACH.¹ She married Charles Edward Wolfram, son of Henry Gerald Wolffram and Anna Wilhelmine Albers, on 26 May 1898 in Monroe Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey.^9,1,10,11 As of 1898, her married name was Wolfram.¹ Johanna, as Charles Edward Wolfram's wife, resided with him in 10 Polk street, in Riverside township, Burlington County, New Jersey, in 1926.¹² Johanna Wolfram and Charles were Roman Catholics. Johanna Wolfram and Charles lived between 14 April 1924 and 1943 at 8 Polk Street, Riverside Township, Burlington County, New Jersey.^13,14,15 Johanna Wolfram and Charles lived in 1929 at 10 Polk street, Riverside Township, Burlington County, New Jersey.¹⁶ Johanna Wolfram lived before 27 June 1944 in 423 Chicago Avenue, Egg Harbor City, Atlantic County, New Jersey.³ She lived from 28 June 1944 to 28 July 1944 in County Almshouse, Northfield, Atlantic County, New Jersey.³
      Johanna Wolfram spoke German as her native and first language. She knew at least some English but was not fluent. German only was spoken between her and her husband; English was used to communicate with relatives who knew only English. She rarely left the house and did not interact with others, except to go to church.¹⁷
      Johanna Wolfram died at 6:45 a.m. on 28 July 1944 in the County Almshouse, Northfield, Atlantic County, New Jersey, at age 85 years, 7 months and 3 days.^18,3 Her obituary appeared in Courier-Post, Camden, Camden County, New Jersey, on 29 July 1944. The same obituary also appeared that day in The Morning Post. It read: MRS. JOHANNA WOLFRAM
Riverside, July 29--Mrs. Johanna Wolfram, 69, formerly of Riverside, died yesterday at Northfield. She was the widow of Charles Wolfram. She formerly resided here with a son, Fred. Recently she lived at the home of another son, Charles, of Egg Harbor City. She is also survived by nine grandchildren. Solemn requiem mass wil be held at 9 a. m. Tuesday at St. Peter's church.
