1 Julia S. STRANGE1,2,3,4 (c. 1883-1966) [11837]. Born c. 1883, PA.2,3,4 Marr Harry B. KINGSLEY 17 Oct 1920, Mansfield, PA.1 Died 21 Apr 1966.5 Buried Prospect Cemetery, Mansfield, PA.5

From the Wellsboro Agitator.

November 3, 1920 - "Miss Julia Strange, daughter of Mrs. Marietta Strange, was married Oct. 17, to Harry Kingsley. They were unattended and the only guests were her mother and Mrs. Joseph H. Bond. Rev. Mr. Bond performed the ceremony. They have both always resided in Mansfield. Mr. Kingsley is proprietor of the New Era Feed Mills. Mrs. Kingsley is a trained nurse. They left Oct 18 by motor car for a wedding trip and after their return will make their home in Mansfield. They have the best wishes of a host of friends."

[Prospect Cemetery records report that Harry was born in 1874. It also reports that Julia was born in 1883 which is a significant difference from what is shown in the 1930 census. However, the Prospect Cemetery records are most likely correct concerning Julia Strange's birth date (1883). The 1920 PA, Tioga, Mansfield census shows Julia, still living with her mother, at age 34. So, most likely, the 1930 census is in error.]
