                   Letter from Dick Turnbach to Thelda Baker:
(Luzerne County continuations 1884, p. 26, Vol. 369, p. 37, 20 Dec 1898)

       John Turnbach (son of John 1790 and Elizabeth): Daniel Shook and his wife, Phoebe, and Jacob Oxenrider were involved in real estate transactions regarding ownership and financing of a hotel on White Street in Summit Hill, Carbon County.
       Ruben Ockensenrider was exec of the estate of Jacob who died 12 Nov 1883.  He sold a minor property at conyngham near that date, and later sold a farm in Sugarloaf.  The deed names William and his wife Sabina; Wilson and his wife Elvina; Alice married to charles Morrison of Philadelphia; and Frank P. Burcaw and his wife Elizabeth, also of Philadelphia.  The deed specifically identifies Frank as half-brother to Ruben.
       This property was previously owned by James L. Burcaw, and was adjacent to a farm owned by Stephen Turnbach.  Perhaps the sale was delayed until Anna Maria died.
