Margaret Schaadt

Monroe County death records show a 53 year old married woman, born c. 1828 in Germany, who died in Malaga Twp. on 5 Feb 1882. As no other Margaret Burkharts of this approximate age have been found in the 1880 census for Malaga Twp., this is believed to be Margaret Schaadt Burkhart.

In 1920, Clem Singer (31) was a boarder in the house of his half-sister Mary Singer Johanning at 1414 Harrisburg St. in Canton. Clem was employed as a "factory man."

At the time of the 1930 census, Clem (42) was a boarder in the home of Benjamin and Hulda Aston at 1331 19th St. NE in Canton at the time of the 1930 census. He was employed as a workman in a sanitary products factory.

Clem Singer died as a result of injuries sustained in an accidental 15 foot fall from a second story window which fractured his lumbar vertebrae and ribs. Details are not known. Clem, who was single at the time of the 1930 census, was a widower on his death certificate. Although there is a space on the death certificate for the name of his late wife, a line is drawn through it; no name was entered. It is suspected that Clem married Sada Williams Singer, who was divorced from Clem's half-brother, Leo.


Sada E. Williams

According to Muth & Fox, Sadie Williams Singer was from Marietta, Ohio.

The 1910 census states that Sadie Singer had given birth to only one child, Charles. Sadie was born in Ohio; her father and mother were born in Pennsylvania and New York, respectively.

The 1913 Canton City Directory lists Mrs. Sadie E. Singer and Charles H. Singer living at 608 Tuscarawas. No occupation is listed for Sadie; Charles was a "worker."

In 1930, 54 year old Sada Singer worked as a household servant for physician Lauren Flickinger and his wife in their $86,000 home at 533 McKinley Ave. NW in Canton, Ohio.

Sada's death certificate states that she was married at the time of her death to Clem Singer. Could she have married her first husband's half-brother? Further research must be done to clarify the issue.
