Alfred Frank Schetrompf was born on 19 Apr 1874 in Fulton County, son of John George Schetrompf (about 1841–about 1914) and Anna Mary Hendershot (about 1846–about 1913).
Alfred died on 8 Dec 1953 in Fulton, Pennsylvania, United States, aged 79. He was buried in Buck Valley Methodist Church Cemetery, Buck Valley, Fulton County, Pennsylvania.[1]
Alfred registered for the draft for World War I. [2]
Research Notes
The 1900 census lists an Alfred Schelsompf which I believe is a misspelling of the last name. It puts him approximately 3 hours north of where Anna & a daughter would be in 1900 census, living as a boarder. The rest of the details match including parents birth place & length of marriage. It lists him living with other boarders & a foreman. His occupation is "wood chopper". My mother remembers him as being a very strong family man & I can only assume he was living 3 hours away in order to provide for his family & that a lumber mill or whatever job he was working wasn't ideal for a wife & young child.
