Sources conflict on many points: Handwritten notes in a copy of "The Singer Family History" obtained from William Vogler contain several different dates of death for Daniel Conners: 1952, 1953, 26 Jun 1955, and 26 Jul 1953. The notes also refer to two different marriage dates: Oct 1903, and 13 Oct 1904. Sources also conflict on place of birth:
Fox & Muth: County Wexford, Ireland
1910 census: West VirginiaAt the time of the 1910 census, Daniel A. Connors (42) and his wife of five years, Rosa C. (43) owned a mortgaged home at 2232 Jacob Street in the Center District, 4th Precinct of Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia. This was the first marriage for Daniel, but the second for Rosa. Rosa's four children from her first marriage lived with them: Frederick G. (21), William F. (19), Morris R. (17) and Mary C. (15). Daniel and Rosa did not have any children together. Only Rosa attended school. According to the census, Daniel was born in West Virginia to Irish-born parents. Daniel was employed as a railroad engineer.
By 1920, they had moved away from 2232 Jacob... another family lived at that address. A line-by-line search of the census for that neighborhood, as well as a search of the 1920 census index, has not turned up Daniel and Rosa Connors.
According to Rosa's father's 1926 obituary, she was living in Wheeling, as was her sister, Tillie Fisher.
A note in the Caldwell, OH paper dated 12 Jul 1888 stated:
Mrs. Rose Bosold, wife of Ferdinand Bosold of Wheeling W.Va is visiting her
parents and relations in this vicinity.And on 26 Jul 1888 it was reported that
Mrs. Ferdinand Bosold and Mr. John Hohman returned to their home in Wheeling
Monday, after a few weeks visit here.On 7 Jan 1897, the paper noted:
Mrs. Fred Fox was called to Wheeling recently on account of the serious illness
of her daughter, Mrs. F. Bosold.The Bosold family has not been found in a search of the genealogy.com index for the 1900 census for Ohio and West Virginia.
Rosa Fox Conner's obituary appeared in The Times Recorder (Zanesville, OH) on March 24, 1952
ATTEND FUNERAL IN WHEELING
Mrs. Ambrose Schwallie and daughter, Margaret of Sharon have returned
home from Wheeling, W. Va. where they attended the funeral last Tuesday
of the former's sister, Mrs. Daniel Conners, 86, who died Saturday, March
15, at the home of her daughter Mrs. Lee Vogler, after an illness of three
months.
Mrs. Conners, a native of Noble county, was the eldest of nie (sic) children.
She was the daughter of Frederick and Sybilla Fox of Fulda.
Surviving the deceased are her husband, Daniel, the daughter Mrs. Marie
Vogler, three sons, Fred and Maurice Bosold of Wheeling and William Bosold
of Naples, N. Y., five sisters, Mrs. Fred Fisher of Wheeling, Mrs. Ambrose
Schwallie of this city; Mrs. Charles Wilson of Columbus, Mrs. Joseph Schafer
of Dudley, and Mrs. Sebast Holman (sic) of Harriettsville; three brothers, Her-
man Fox of Toledo, Ignatz of Caldwell and Albert Fox of Canton.
Burial was in the Mt. Calvary cemetery at Wheeling.
In 1880, 16 year old Ferdinand Fisher lived with his widowed mother and siblings in the Village of Fulda, Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio. He attended school and worked as a farm laborer.
Ferdinand and Eva Fisher moved to Wheeling WV after their marriage, but later returned. The Caldwell Ohio newspaper reported on 7 Jan 1897:
Ferd. Fisher of Wheeling and S. Arnold of Pittsburg have moved their
families to this place.The move was apparently temporary, as the paper reported on 22 Apr 1897:
Ferdinand Fisher and family, who spent the winter here, have returned to
their home at Wheeling.At the turn of the century, Fred Fisher (37) rented a dwelling at 2356 Wood St. in Wheeling. Living with him were his wife Matilda (31), and sons Albert (9), William (7) and Carl (5). According to the census, Matilda did not have any children who were deceased. Ferdinand worked as a teamster in a planing mill.
In 1910, Ferdinand Fischer (45) and his wife E. Matilda (41) owned a mortgaged two-family house at 2356 Wood St. in Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia with their children Albert F. (20), William F. (18), Carl (14) and Marie (4). Only Carl attended school. Ferdianand was employed as a driver for a planing mill. The other portion of the house was rented out to the family of fellow Fulda native Ambrose Becker.
In 1930, Fred Fisher (66) owned the house worth $2200 at 2356 Wood St. There were no other families living in the house. Fred lived with his 60 year old wife, Matilda and children Carl J. (34) and Marie E. (24). Fred was employed as a mixer for a tile manufacturer. Carl was a justice of the peace.
According to his death certificate, Ferdinand worked as a watchman at a tile factory.
Alternate date of birth (Muth & Fox): 24 Dec 1868
According to a note in the Caldwell, Ohio newspaper, Eva Fox Fisher was ill in April 1890. Her mother Sybilla Singer Fox, came to take care of her. When Sybilla returned home, she brought her grandchild (presumably William) with her.
Tillie's father's 1926 obituary states that his daughter, Mrs. Fred Fisher, was living in Wheeling, as was her sister, Rosa Conners.
Carl Fisher was a Justice of the Peace He married late in life.
Marie Fisher was handicapped. She never married. Date of death (from death certificate index) has not been proven.
Records conflict on place of birth. Thomas Singer gives Zanesville, OH as place of birth. Delores Snider states that church records show he was baptized in Fulda, Noble Co. Since Zanesville is over 50 miles northeast of Fulda, it's questionable whether he was born in Zanesville and baptized in Fulda. Muth & Fox show that Ambrose Schwallie was born in Berne (later called Carlisle), Noble Co., OH.
An oddity about Ambrose Schwallie is that his wife and his mother had the same maiden name: Mary Fox. The two women are not known to be related.
In the 1890s, Ambrose Schwallie and his older brother Frank owned a dry goods store in Fulda. The store burned to the ground in 1898. After moving to Zanesville, Ambrose ran a grocery store there. His son Fred later took over operation of the same store. (source: Schockling)
In 1900, Ambrose (31) and A. Mary (29) Schwallie lived at 148 Marietta Road in Zanesville, Muskingum County, Ohio. Living with them were their sons, F. Hugo (6) and Clements (4), as well as a boarder, 17 year old Albert Fox (Mary's brother). Ambrose was a grocer, and Albert worked as a grocery clerk. Hugo Schwallie attended school.
At the time of the 1910 census, Ambrose Schwallie (42) and his wife Mary (38) owned a home at 486 Sharon Ave. in Zanesville. They lived there with their four children, Hugo (16), Clement (14), Margaret (7) and Frederick (4). Ambrose was a grocery merchant.
In 1920, "Andrew" Schwallie lived in the same house the family occupied 10 years earlier. Living with him were his wife Mary, and children Margaret (19) and Frederick (13). Both children attended school. Ambrose's occupation is listed as "retail grocery salesman."
Ten years later, in 1930, the family home at 486 Sharon Ave. was valued at $5000.. the most expensive home on that page of the census. Living there were Ambrose (62), Mary (58), son Frederick (24), and daughter Margaret Glitsch (27) and her husband Christian J. Glitsch Jr. (26). Ambrose was a grocery merchant.
The following article appeared on page 7 of The Zanesville Signal on 3 May 1943:

for some time.
(Marian's older married sisters, Rosa Fox Bosold and Eva Fox Fisher, both lived in Wheeling.)From the "Chit-Chat" column of The Zanesville Signal, 24 Oct 1924:
Mrs. A. Schwallie of Sharon avenue has returned from Fulda,
O., where she was called by the very serious illness of her father,
Frederick Fox.Several Zanesville newspaper articles in the 1930s and 40s list Mary Schwallie as a member of the "Gold Star Mothers," a group of women who lost sons in the armed service.

On 10 Jan 1895, the Caldwell Ohio newspaper reported:
Alex & August Gerst, Frank Ritterbeck and Herman Fox spent the holidays in Wheeling.Twenty-four year old Herman Fox was not listed in his parents' household in the 1900 census. He may have already been married at the time.
According to his father's 1926 obituary, H. G. Fox lived in Malvern [Carroll County] Ohio. His mother's 1928 obituary puts him in Canton. Herman and Lucy Fox have not been found in the 1930 census index for Ohio.
Eleven year old Joseph Schafer did not attend school in 1880, although his older and younger siblings did.

In 1850, 32 year old shoemaker George Bosold lived in Enoch Twp., Noble Co., Ohio with his 20 year old wife Augusta, and their son Morris (1).
The 1870 census counted people who were living on June 30, 1870. On that date shoemaker George Bosold (46) lived in Enoch Twp., with his wife Augusta (30) and children John M. (10), Katherine (9), Mary E. (6), Ferdinand (4) and Leonard (2). John and Katherine attended school. Although George Bosold was alive on June 30, he was deceased when the census taker visited the household seveal weeks later on August 13, 1870. The family's real estate was valued at $800, and their personal possessions wer worth $175. John (who was a citizen) and Augusta were born in Hesse Cassel; the children were all born in Ohio. Also enumerated in the household were day-laborer Adam Hill (61) and Mary A. Hill (34). Their relationship to the Bosold family is not known. Adjacent households in the census were those of grocer Charles & Philomena (Hohman) Stark -- George Bosold's brother-in-law, and blacksmith Charles Ramsey.
In the 1850 census, Augusta is incorrectly listed as a male. The 1860 census states that Augusta Hohman Bosold was born in Hesse. On the next farm in the census, her aunt Ann Maria Hohmann Schott's birthplace is Byrne (Bayern/Bavaria?). Both women are believed to have been born in or near Mittelkalbach, Landkreis Fulda, Germany.

last Saturday before John Hill. Mrs. Schad was fined. I mention this fact
for the purpose to deter my German friends from breaking the peace with
their neighbors, for if such things come to my attention, they shall be
published, even if it makes them angry. Let us have peace with everyone.The Mrs. Bosold is Augusta Hohman Bosold, but it is not known who Mrs. Schad (Schott) is, as there were several adult Mrs. Schotts in Fulda in 1882.
