DNA: Dad's Cousin Jason

One of my dad's distant matches at 23andme, Jason, shares no DNA with me.  He matches dad on chromosome 10, and is predicted to be a 3rd to distant cousin.  He shares 0.26% with dad and only 1 segment.




Jason has an extensive list of family surnames on his profile, but none that appear to match.  Hopefully he and I can compare family trees and make the connection.

Obituary : Maud (Lambertson) Fisher Hayse, 1952

Maud F. Hayse obituary, Register-News, Mt. Vernon, Illinois, 10 April 1952, page 2.


MAUD F. HAYSE
DIES AT AGE 73;
RITES INCOMPLETE

Mrs. Maud Fisher Hayse, of 909 Park Avenue, died at 11:45 a.m. yesterday at Jefferson County Memorial Hospital, where she had been a patient for the past three days.

Her age was 73 years, nine months and 20 days.

Funeral arrangements were incomplete.  However, friends may call at Myers Chapel after 10 a.m. Friday.

Mrs. Hayse was born June 19, 1878 in Ohio, the daughter of Carry and Clara (Cook) Lambertson.

She was first married to Frank Fisher, who preceded her in death in June, 1928.  She was married October 19, 1931 to W.H. Hayse, who survives.

Mrs. Hayse was a member of the Nazarene church.

Besides her husband, she is survived by two sons, Vernon C. Fisher of Anderson, Ind. and H.A. Fisher of Mt. Vernon; a sister, Mrs. Lola Whisler of Arcadia, Ind.; two brothers, Charles Lambertson of Elwood, Ind. and Bert Lambertson of Mt. Vernon, Ind.; 11 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.


She was preceded in death by her parents, a brother, Sam, and two sons, Lester and Ralph E. Fisher.

----
Located this obituary of my maternal 2nd-great grandaunt, Maud (Lambertson) Fisher Hayse in the Mt. Vernon Register-News.  This obituary gave me the date of her marriage to her second husband, and also the death month of her first husband.

Her second husband is referred to as Will Hayse in my notes, will need to see what else I can find about him.  The obituary didn't list where they were married, but it was likely Illinois, so will need to see if I can locate a copy.

DNA: Mom's Cousin Stephanie

Another 23andme match for my mom, Stephanie, was predicted to be a 3rd to distant cousin, but doesn't share any DNA with me.  She matches mom on chromosome 16, 1 segment, with 0.22% shared.



Stephanie had a small family tree online, but I didn't see any connection just yet.  She has a lot of early Massachusetts ancestors, as does my mother.
