According to the 1880 census, Eva M. Truesdell is the daughter of Monroe Truesdell and his wife Sarah. The family was living in Jewett, NY. Eva was born Nov. 1878 and married abt. 1895 to Irving Garvey (b. Oct. 1874, d. 1946). It appears the couple did not have any children of their own, so adopted a daughter, Ada who was born abt 1901. Eva died in 1937 and she and her husband Irving are buried in Maplewood Cemetery, Town of Jewett. This photo was taken at the Allen Studios in Catskill and written on the back is Eva Truesdell Garvey.

William McCoubrey was the son of Samuel McCoubrey and Eleanor Frazier. He was born abt 1875 in Kingston and died February 20, 1896, aged 21. He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn. William was a carpenter and left a 6 week old daughter, Eleanor (January 10, 1896) at his death. William was one of three children of Samuel and Eleanor; the other two were David, who died in 1893 and George (1884-1953), who married Sophia (1882-1951). Both George and Sophia are buried in Pleasant Valley cemetery in Ashland, Greene Co, NY. Their son, Samuel G. (July 11, 1904 - August 19, 1950) and Florence Conley, d/o William A. and Jannette Conley (March 17, 1905 - October 11, 1991) are also buried there. Samuel McCoubrey was born in Belfast, Ireland on December 26, 1845 and emmigrated to the US in 1868. He lived and worked in Manhattan for most of his life, but after the death of his wife Eleanor in 1922, he spent the last few years of his life in a house on Mill St. in Windham. He died April 29, 1933 in Fleischmanns, Delaware County while visiting his son George, who was living there at the time. Samuel is buried in Pleasant Valley alongside his brother John N. McCoubrey (1852-1894) and his wife Imogene Burnham (1856-1931). Research has shown that the McCoubrey brothers were the sons of Samuel McCoubrey and his wife Eliza Jane Nelson of Annadorn, County Down, Ireland.

Ida Christian and Cutler Bloss Family Gallery
Contributed by Shelley Cardiel
I've "rescued" three old photographs belonging to the CHRISTIAN - BLOSS Family.
The first is a photograph of Ida CHRISTIAN which was taken at the D. H. Forsyth
Studio in Flint, Michigan. The photograph appears to have been taken in the
1880's with Ida likely in her teens at the time. >>> The second photograph is
identified as that of Ida BLOSS, taken at the Perry Photo Company with no
location indicated. It is noted that she was born April 20, 1864 and died Feb 17
1933. That photograph is dated "about 1880", though it appears to be to have
been taken in the 1890's based on the photograph quality and texture. In
addition, someone has written "Barnum?" on the back of this photograph. Ida
appears to be in her teens or 20's at the time. The third photograph is of
Cutler & Ida CHRISTIAN BLOSS taken at the Phipps photograph studio with no
location indicated. This photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's as
well with the couple appearing to be in their 20's or 30's at the time. Based on
limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding these
people:
Ida Mary CHRISTIAN was b. 20 Apr 1864 in Alden, IA to parents Delia BRUCE (b. 25
Feb 1833 in Ulster Co. NY) and Frederick CHRISTIAN (b. 24 Oct 1829 in Green Co.
NY). Ida was one of 4 children born to this couple including, Evelyn Mariah;
Lillis Lenora; Eda Carrie; and Ida Mary, all born between 1855 and 1864 in Broom
Co. NY and Alden, IA. Ida and Eda were twins.
Ida married Cutler Amherst BLOSS (b. 13 Sept 1875 in Gene City, MI) on 29 Dec
1897 in Fenton, MI. Cutler was born to parents Stephen S. BLOSS (b. 28 Aug 1829
in Day, NY) and Mary Fedelia DANIELS (b. 15 Jul 1838 in
Washington City, NY). Cutler married a second time to Angeline BENNETT on 11 Dec
1921 in Grand Blanc, MI. Cutler BLOSS died in Gene City, MI on 10 Sept 1946.
