The following obituary appeared in the Orlando Sentinel on February 10, 2004 and was available online in 2013:
Actress Evelyn Bohn Krise Would `Light Up Any Room She Walked In'
February 10, 2004
By Tammie Wersinger, Sentinel Staff Writer
With her pouty lips dabbed in red and big, blue eyes surrounded by long, dark lashes, Evelyn Bohn Krise looked every bit the part of a classic movie star.
However, this actress' life journey took her down a different path than stardom -- that of motherhood and family.
Krise -- military wife, mother of six, grandmother and star in a New York touring theater company in the 1950s -- died Thursday. She was 73.
[FOR THE RECORD
****** CORRECTION OR CLARIFICATION PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 19, 2004 ********
An article on Page B6 of the Feb. 10 Local & State section about the death of Evelyn Bohn Krise misidentified a character Krise played in Little Women. Krise portrayed Beth.
******************************************************************************
"She was just this vivacious woman who would light up any room she walked in," said her daughter, Valerie Krise of Longwood. "She possessed those childlike qualities that made her a good actress. It also made her a fun person to be around."
The elder Krise, who moved to Altamonte Springs in 1977, began her professional acting career at 17. By then, she had graduated from high school early and spent a year in acting classes at Carnegie Tech-Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
Her parents knew she was destined for the stage when she started performing at age 3.
She landed the first professional role she auditioned for -- that of Bess in the Clare Tree Major's Children's Theater's production of Little Women.
Her work with the Pleasantville, N.Y., theater company took her to stages throughout the Northeast and netted Krise a whopping $35 a week, out of which she paid for lodging and food.
It wasn't the big money of her movie-screen counterparts, but Krise was able to do what she loved and got paid for doing it, her daughter said.
It was during her early acting days in the 1950s that she met renowned Canadian poet Paul O'Neill, who dedicated a 1982 compilation of his works to his longtime friend.
It was during that same time that Evelyn Bohn met George Krise, a military man she met on a bus on her way to a dance.
"He was driving the bus and was outgoing and popular. She was vivacious and sweet and caught his eye," Valerie Krise said. "They just hit it off and were married later that year."
The couple traveled around the globe and had six children in six different parts of the world. George Krise passed away in 1987. Stephen Krise, her eldest son, also died.
After moving to Central Florida, Evelyn Bohn Krise resumed acting and took on another role -- that of "Avon lady." She reached the President's Club level, which is the upper sales tier for the cosmetics company.
"No matter what she was doing, she wanted to do her best," Valerie Krise said. "My mom totally immersed herself into whatever she was doing, whether it was selling Avon, being a military wife, raising six kids or acting."
Although none of Evelyn's children followed their mother to the stage, she did pass the acting bug along to at least one grandchild. Granddaughter Kelly Roseman, 14, of Longwood performs locally and has big dreams of an acting career.
"Grandma's house was full of magic because she had costumes, and when she read books, she did all the voices," Valerie Krise said. "She didn't just read Little Red Riding Hood. She became Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf and the grandma."
In addition to her daughter, Evelyn Krise is survived by sons Jeffrey Krise and Michael Krise of Burlington, N.J., and Scott Krise of Winter Park; daughter Andrea Krise of Altamonte Springs; brother, Donald Bohn of Greencastle, Pa.; seven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.

Hugh's occupation is listed as carpenter on 1860 Census in Pittsburgh.
There is a Hugh Y. (Young?) Boyce listed as an auctioneer at 419 Smithfield St., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1890, although there is no confirmation that this is the same Hugh Boyce. | Hugh Boice
|
| 409 |
The William-Rathbone, ship manifest #4473, arriving Port of New York, May 14, 1850 from Liverpool lists Hugh Boyce's occupation as a carpenter, his age as 48 and Mary's age as 35. The children are Hugh, age 14; Matthew, age 8; James, age 7; Mary, age 5; and Mary Elizabeth, age 4. Also listed on the manifest is an Isabella Woodburn, servant, age 17. There are no other Woodburn's listed on the ship's manifest. She may have accompanied the Boyce's and helped with the children. There is, however, no record of her in the 1850 Census for the City of Pittsburgh. She is probably the daughter of John Woodburn, born May 2, 1788, married to Mary Witherow.
The 1850 Census for the City of Pittsburgh lists a Hugh and Mary Boice (not Boyce as above in the ship's manifest) and their four children residing in the 7th Ward. Mary Elizabeth is not listed and presumably died shortly after their arrival in Pittsburgh. Hugh's occupation is listed as a laborer. Hugh and Martha Young are listed as residing with them.
The 1860 Census, which has some minor differences in some of the ages from the earlier census, lists Hugh's occupation as a sexton (Oak Alley Reformed Presbyterian Church), Matthew is not listed and may have left home as he was at least 18 years of age or he may have died during this ten year period. There is a Martha Boice, age 17 and a Annie Boice, age 6, both born in Ireland, listed as residing with Hugh and Mary and their family. Their relationship to Hugh Boice is not shown. They are not daughters of Hugh and Mary. I suspect they are sisters (1) who emigrated with another family from Ireland or (2) one or both of their parents died after arrival in the United States.
As the 1860 census information in "Historic Pittsburgh" was transcribed from the original records and is in a printed format, it may be that Nancy (five letters) was incorrectly entered as Annie. I have elected to record it as Nancy. Nancy Boice graduated from Central High School in 1871 and was listed a daughter of Hugh Boice. She is also listed as a daughter, Nanna, of Mary Boice in the 1880 Census. It states that she was born in Pennsylvania which differs from the 1860 census. I have elected to show both Martha Boice and Nancy (Annie) Boice as daughters (adopted) of Hugh and Mary Boice. I suspect that Martha may be the Nannie Boyce who was buried in Lots 28 and 30, Range 4 of Union Dale Cemetery, Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on August 12, 1870. There is, however, no gravesite marker for this person on lots 28 and 30. (Source-Janet Houston Rhein)
"Recollections of good Hugh Boice come to every High School attendant who knew the kindly old janitor. He never showed any impatience and the boys all liked Hughey. His daughter Nancy, now dead, was of our class of 187I. His son, Rev. Jas. Y. Boice was one of the earlier students who left school to enter the army. Mr. Boice was also janitor of the Oak Alley Reformed Presbyterian Church. Rev. John Douglass - a building and congregation - long since gone as has pastor and Mr. Boice also from among us. We rehearsed our commencement pieces in this old church and had a final rehearsal in the Third Presbyterian Church on Sixth avenue.
HUGH BOICE
"The Old Janitor"
The, bell is silent now;
Old Hughey rings no more,
I almost see him standing in the hall,
The clapper holds he firm,
His eyes are on the clock -
He's just about to ring the well-known call.
How plainly I can see him watching by the clock, with the bell in his hand, waiting for the exact second to ring it; and then his hatchet in hand and a pocket full of nails for patching and mending the stairs as fast as we wore them out with our constant traveling over them.
I seem to see him hammering quietly, so as not to disturb the recitations.
Some one's Reminiscences in 1883 Annual." (Source - My High School Days, George Thorton Fleming, Press of Wm. G. Johnston, Pittsburgh, Pa., 1904)
On October 19, 1854, John Huston, Hugh Boice and Hugh Young each purchased a 1/3 interest in Lots 28 and 30, Range 4, Section D in Mount Union Cemetery (later Union Dale Cemetery), Pittsburgh, from the Trustees of The First Associate Reformed Church. On October 29, 1874, Hugh Boice sold his 2/3 interest, having purchased earlier the 1/3 interest of Hugh Young, to James Wilson Houston. There are 10 individuals listed as buried in these lots and all have been associated specifically with the existing families, except Nannie Boyce, buried on August 12, 1870 and Maggie Young, buried on December 6, 1872.

Dorothy died in a fire at her home, caused by her negligent smoking in bed. The fire resulted in a lawsuit brought by Dorothy's home health aide (Lydia Sanchez), who was injured in the fire. Around midnight, Sanchez discovered "a big fire on top of" Kavanaugh's bed. Dorothy was sitting on the side of the bed. Sanchez tried to pull Kavenaugh from the bedroom, but Kavanaugh, who had limited mobility under normal circumstances at age 92, would not cooperate and appeared to be in shock. Sanchez called 911 and returned to the bedroom to try to save Kavanaugh, but she could not breathe or see in the thick, dark smoke. Sanchez suffered burns to her hands and feet and injuries from smoke inhalation. She spent three weeks in intensive care. A jury awarded her $903,000 in damages. See Sanchez v. Brooke, et al., California Court of Appeal (B224835) (2012) from Los Angeles Co. Super. Ct, . No. GC041017. | Dorothea Aurelia Bornscheuer

A vigorous argument in support of this claim can be found in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, v. 46, no.3 (September 1958); The John Briscoe Story, by Vice Admiral and Mrs. William S. Pye. This claim has been challenged. The Society of the Ark and Dove, which once apparently accepted John's claim to be numbered among the Ark and Dove travelers, later rejected the claim because there was much contrived material in John's lineage. At one time, it was thought that the existence of a Dr. John Briscoe and his wife Elizabeth DuBois could not be be definitively proven.
In 2005, the Society of The Ark and The Dove published a book entitled: "The Ark and The Dove Adventurers", by the Society of The Ark and The Dove, G.E.Russell and D.V. Russell, eds. Genealogical Publishing House (2005). This book includes John Brisoce among The Ark and The Dove adventurers, apparently definitively confirming John Briscoe's existence and his inclusion among the adventurers.
Sir George Calvert was to be granted a charter for Maryland. Upon his death, the charter had not yet been granted. On June 20, 1632, the charter was confirmed and published. His son Caesilius Calvert, then Lord Baltimore, began preparations to settle Maryland at once. Through his personal expense, the ship "Ark" and the pinnace "Dove" were outfitted for the colonization effort. The number of colonists is uncertain, but is believed to have been about 320 souls. Lord Baltimore, as governor of the colony, appointed his brother, Leonard Calvert, as lieutenant governor. Leonard and his younger brother, George, would proceed with the colonists.
The following purports to be a letter from Lord Baltimore dated Odiham, September 1, 1633, and addressed to Dr. John Briscoe, Brikshaugh, Newbiggin, Cumberland [County, England]: "To Dr. John Briscoe, Greetings: Dear Sir: As the Privy Council have decided that I shall not be disturbed or dispossessed of the charter granted by his Majesty--The Ark and the pinnace Dove will sail from Gravesend about the 1st of October, and if you are of the same mind as when I last conversed with you, I would be glad to have you join the colony. With high esteem, your most obedient servant, Cecilius Baltimore." [John Briscoe in St. Mary’s County, November 27, 1648. Maryland Archives Bol.4,pg. 443.] The authenticity of this letter has been questioned, but will be accepted here.
The colonists departed before October 19, when the vessels Ark and Dove were ordered to be turned back. The colonists had neglected to take the required oath of allegiance to the King. They returned to Gravesend, where the oath was administered. Late in October, 1633 the vessels again departed, stopping at Cowes on the Isle of Wight for about a month. Finally, on November 22, 1633, the ships sailed once more, from Cowes, Isle of Wight.
Lord Baltimore wrote to the Earl of Stafford after this departure, stating that "There were near 320" persons on board. The actual number is still uncertain. Approximately twenty "Gentlemen" passengers were aboard the ships, The Ark and The Dove as they sailed from England on November 22, 1633 for what was to become Maryland.
On November 23, the Ark encountered the ship Dragon which was forced to turn back on the night of the 25th due to a storm. The Ark and the Dove chose to stay in the open sea, but the Dove later had to make for possible shelter in the Scilley Isles for fear of foundering.
On November 26, the fate of the Dove unknown to them, Ark sailed alone for Barbados Island. Finding refuge, the Dove encountered the Dragon and, when the weather cleared, sailed in their company by way of the Canary Islands to Barbados.
On January 3, 1633/4, the Ark arrived at Barbados on the day of the thwarted "servants' conspiracy". About January 6, 1633/4, the Dove re-joined the company of the Ark. After taking on supplies, they sailed to St. Christophers Island, then to Virginia. On February 27, 1633/4, the ships arrived at Point Comfort, Virginia, and disembarked "some passengers" and deliver letters from the King. After 8 or 9 days, they sailed for Maryland.
The Ark and the Dove arrived at Maryland on March 3, 1633/4. After landing the settlers at Maryland, the Ark sailed back to England. The Dove may have remained. | Dr. John BRISCOE

William and his family was killed in a plane crash September 5. 1963.
The following was transcribed on rootsweb.com in the database entitled "Brobst Family Historical Registry" at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=brobst&surname=Zuse%2C+Luella+C%2E"

Four Plane Deaths in W. VA. Probed
Wilkins Twp. Family Killed in Rainstorm
Tri-State Service
Keyser, W. VA., Sept 6
Investigators today tried to piece together an explanation for a light plane crash
that killed a surburban Pittsburgh engineer, his wife, and two of their three children. A driving rainstorm was believed responsible for the flying tragedy near here in a heavily wooded section of eastern West Virginia.
The victims were William Brobst, 31, of 129 Gilmore Dr. in the Eastmont area of Wilkins Twp.; his wife, Margaret, 30; Jody Arthur, 3, and Kimberly Anne, 2. A third child, Gwynne Ellen, 3 months, had stayed behind with her paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brobst, of 2218 LaCrosse St., Swissvale.
The family was en route to Florida on a combination business and pleasure trip. Mr. Brobst, a pilot for about five years, was an electrical engineer for Siltronics, Inc. The family took off from Monroeville Airport about 9 a.m. yesterday in a single engine Cessna owned by the WTAE Flying Club. The plane crashed in a heavy rain and fog about noon but the wreckage was not spotted until almost five hours later by D. F. Baker, operator of a private airport at Burlington, W. VA. It took still another hour for
rescue crews to reach the crash scene about 30 miles south of Cumberlan MD., and still more time to establish identification of the four victims in the demolished aircraft.
Mr. Baker theorized that the plane had dived straight to the earth. A team of investigators from the Martinsburg office of the Federal Aviation Agency was sent to the scene to determine what caused the accident. The search for the Brobst's plane was begun by West Virginia State Police and private state pilots after the residents of Burlington reported hearing the crash. About 75 persons joined in the air and ground hunt for the craft. Although the Cessna was equipped with a radio there was no
record that Mr. Brobst signaled he was in difficulty. Mr. Baker said it was
possible that the pilot tried to pull up quickly in the face of a hillside, that
the plane then stalled and plunged to the ground.
The family's destination had been Melbourne, Fla. Before leaving Pittsburgh the victims visited Mrs. Brobst parents, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Dixon, of 726 Penny Dr., Penn
Hills. "We didn't want them to go...we just didn't want them to go" Mrs. Dixon said after hearing of the crash. Mr. Brobst was described as a "wonderful pilot" by David Dixon, his brother-in-law. He often took his family on flying jaunts. He and his family moved into their home in Wilkins Twp. a year ago when they returned to the area from New Jersey, where Mr. Brobst was previously employed. Jody Arthur's fourth birthday would have been Sept. 20. Mr. Brobst was a graduate of Swissvale High School and
Carnegie Institute of Technology and his wife was graduated from Westinghouse High School and Shadyside Hospital School of Nursing. In addition to his parents, he is survived by two brothers, Lawrence David of Canonsburg, and Roger Allen at home. His wife is also survived by a sister Mrs. Pauline Cunningham of Hartford, Conn.
Friends will be received tomorrow from noon to 10 p.m. at the Jack C. Beahm
Funeral Home, 7211 Thomas Blvd, Point Breeze.Services and burial on Sunday will be private.
