  • Notes 
    • The obituary below creates a confusing problem. We know that Alice S. Madden, mentioned in the obituary, was born in Ilinois in about 1930. We know that her maiden name was Shorey. We know that Alice Shorey, married to a Ralph Shorey, died December 21, 1929 in Chicago, Illinois. We know that Alice Webb and Agnes Webb were sisters. The only solution to the problem is that Ralph Shorey married Agnes after Alices's death. If this is true, it is not clear why Agnes and Ralph did not raise Alice, except perhaps that they did not want to disrupt Alice's life any further.

      The following obituary was published in the McDonald (Washington Co., Pennsylvania) Record-Outlook on April 12, 1984 and was transcribed and made available on the Rootsweb.com message boards in 2013:

      Mrs. Agnes Shorey, 95, of Rennerdale, died Friday, April 6, 1984, in the Charles Rest Haven.

      A daughter of the late Milton and Mary Ellen Young Webb, she was born October 9, 1888, in Pittsburgh.

      Surviving are a brother, Newton Webb of Florida; a niece, Alice S. Madden of Oakdale; three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Her husband, Ralph O. Shorey, is deceased.

      Funeral services were held Monday morning in the Thomas and Little funeral home, Oakdale, in charge of the Rev. Donald MCNAIR, pastor of the Oakdale U. P. Church. Burial was in Jefferson Memorial Park.
