In the Story of the River Road Life Along the Delaware from Bushkill to Milford,
Pike County, PA by William F. Henn
He has an article from the Milford Herald dated August 11, 1892 It is
titled Down on the Farm. It tells about the daughter of William F.
VanAuken residing 3 miles below Dingman's being bitten by a Copperhead.
I have a copy of a death certificate that I believe to be William F. VanAuken's
of my line. However, it is written that his place of interment was
Delaware Cemetery. I have searched several times throughout this cemetery
I found many VanAukens but not my William. I have searched all
cemetery records that I am aware of and have not found William.
I am looking for any information that might lead to the parents of William. This
is the missing link that I think might lead to my main connection to the
VanAuken family line.
