"[no title]

Aug. 24. Old friends and neighbors here were shocked by the sudden death Monday, August 13, of Mrs. Marguerite A. Sifleet, 87, wife of Brook Park's first mayor, the late Wm. J. Sifleet, who passed away in 1932. Mrs. Sifleet had made her home with her son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. A. Corwin Sifleet, in Chatham, N. J., for many years before her death. The Sifleets lived in their homestead on Smith Rd. for well over sixty years. The home, an old landmark, a farm house surrounded by farm buildings, was destroyed by fire after Mrs. Sifleet had gone to live with her son, and the home here was occupied by renters. Many pieces of antique furniture dear to the Sifleet family, which were stored on the second floor, were also de-stroyed in the fire.

The funeral was held at the Baker Funeral Home, Berea, on Friday at 2:30 p.m., with Rev. Appelhof of the St. Thomas Episcopal Church officiating at the service. Following, she was laid beside her husband and daughter, Hazel Sifleet Sanders, in Woodvale. She leaves her son Corwin and wife Arlien, who cared for her through many years of ailing health; her grand-daughters, Hazel's children, Alice and Edith, and one grandson and four granddaughters [these last five should be great-grandchildren, and they should be two great-grandsons and three great-granddaughters, including one adopted one]."

Sifleet tombstones:

"Marguerite A. 1864-1951." MARGUERITE was born at Galion, Crawford, Ohio, USA, on 21 September 1864. Arlien Sifleet gives Galion, OH as birthplace.
HAZEL's death certificate gives Galion OH too, and it is filled in by MARGUERITE ALICE herself (but she calls herself Margret A).^6,7,5,8 She was the daughter of Lt JOHN MITCHELL PARROTT [Og3594] and MARY HORTENSE DURAND [Du724]. She married WILLIAM JAMES SIFLEET on 6 April 1887.^1,9,5,8 She moved circa 1946 at Chatham, Morris, New Jersey, USA.⁵ MARGUERITE died on 13 August 1951 at Son A Corwin Sifleet's home, Chatham, Morris, New Jersey, USA, at age 86.^10,3,5 Her body was interred on 17 August 1951 at Berea, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA, at Woodvale Cemetery.^11,12,5

     Janette was born at Metz, Steuben, Indiana, USA, on 3 April 1869. She was the daughter of Lt JOHN MITCHELL PARROTT [Og3594] and MARY HORTENSE DURAND [Du724]. She married Philip Mitchell Niederaur.

     Edward Anson Parrott According to a note in my father, Alvy Smith's, possession, ``Mother Sifleet's little brother Eddie, who died young''.

In the John Mitchell Parrott obituary:

"A son Edward Anson died in early childhood." Edward was born at Akron, Summit, Ohio, USA, on 12 June 1866.^2,3 He was the son of Lt JOHN MITCHELL PARROTT [Og3594] and MARY HORTENSE DURAND [Du724]. Edward died on 18 September 1874 at Richland Township, Steuben, Indiana, USA, at age 8.^4,5 His body was interred at Metz, Steuben, Indiana, USA, at Metz Cemetery.^6,7

     WILLIAM JAMES SIFLEET He is mentioned in the wills of both parents. He is residing at Middleburgh, OH at the time of the probates of both parents' estates.

Arlien gives his middle name as John on p 29- of her notes.

He was the first mayor of Brook Park Village. From one of the obituaries for his wife: "The Sifleets lived in their homestead on Smith Rd. for well over sixty years." (apparently from an Ohio paper).

In the funeral evidence for his wife, there are two mentions of William J Sifleet Jr, who does not otherwise show up in this genealogy. There is a W. J. Sifleet listed underneath William J Sifleet Jr in the funeral memorial book for Marguerite. [But look under James Edward Sifleet, kinship unknown, who has a son William J Sifleet in OH]

From his Death Notice:

From http://www.drelocation.com/ohio/cuyahogaco/brookpark.htm:

"City History of Brook Park
...
It was originally a part of Middleburg Township. In 1914, residents living in the northern part of the township, dissatisfied with schools, roads, and taxes, met secretly and voted to withdraw from the township and establish their own municipality. William J. Sifleet, a leading proponent of secession, is often referred to as "the Father of Brook Park." Credited with naming the community for the brook that ran through the western portion of Middleburg, he was elected the first mayor.
...
Brook Park's rural character changed dramatically when William R. Hopkins, Cleveland city manager, selected its northwest section as the site of Hopkins Airport in 1925, and for a few years, the village had the distinction of being the location of the first and largest commercial airport in the world.

     HAZEL ADA SIFLEET "History of New Mexico, Vol. III", Charles F. Coan, American Historical Society, 1925, p 32 has her birth as Cleveland, Ohio, 1877, and her death as February 15, 1924. Educated at a college in Berea, Ohio. Buried in Berea, Ohio. Was a devout Episcopalian. College was Baldwin-Wallace.

Hazel Sifleet's Bible, obtained from her daughter, my Aunt Jeannette, who inherited it, contains this inscription on its flyleaf:

"Miss Hazel Sifleet

It contains, between the Old and New Testaments:

"Born, to Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Sanders, of Tularosa, Tuesday, a daughter."

The two preceding Tuesdays were 23 Aug and 30 Aug. It was my mother Edith who was born on 23 Aug 1921. HAZEL was born at Berea, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA, on 25 January 1889. Marriage license says Dec 1888.

Death certificate gives 25 Jan 1889, Berea OH.^3,4,2,5,6,7 She was the daughter of WILLIAM JAMES SIFLEET and MARGUERITE ALICE PARROTT.

     Arlien Reiter This is my mother's "Aunt Arlien''. She pursued family genealogy for many years. A notebook of hers was bequeathed to me [Alvy Ray Smith (3)]. It is difficult to read and the provenance of the claims in it are generally lacking, but it is a principal source of the information in this database about the Parrott family.

She was living in Chatham NJ when she died. I am unsure, however, if she died there. Her last known address was 47 Coleman Av W, Chatham NJ 07928.

Her Social Security Death Index has this:

Name: SIFLEET, ARLIEN
SSN: 147-36-4167
Issue State: NJ
Birth: 8 Aug 1894
Death 11 Feb 1993
Last Known Residence: Wayne, Maine 04284

That Maine address is a surprise. Perhaps this is where she died. Arlien was born on 8 August 1894.¹ She married Alexander Corwin Sifleet at East Orange, Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 10 October 1924. Arlien died on 11 February 1993 at age 98.²

     Alice Jeannette Sanders is the daughter of JEFFERSON JACKSON "Jeff" SANDERS and HAZEL ADA SIFLEET. She married Warren Morton at Abilene, Taylor, Texas, USA, on 29 September 1939.¹ She married Perry Gravley at Tyler, Smith, Texas, USA, on 19 November 1988.²

     Warren Morton The brothers and sister are listed in a letter from Alvy Smith to his son Alvy (3) just after their father's funeral. See also obituary quoted below:
