The first marriage in my family in the 20th century was
that of Atwood Isaac Sober and Adda Rebecca Fasold. They were married 16 September 1902,
in Augustaville, Northumberland County, PA. Adda was 25 years old, having been born
29 January 1877. Atwood was 24 years old; born on 29 November 1877. According to a family
Bible, they were married in Augustaville, Northumberland County, PA.
They had four daughters and one son, Athey I., who was born when Adda was 46
years old. (Now that's a crazy lady.) Unfortunately, Athey died while in the service
during W.W.II on 12 April 1944. This branch of the Sober family name stopped with Athey,
as he never married nor had children. The daughters, Emily I., Ruth F., Grace A. and Mary
E., did marry (two of them also married on 16 September) and they all did their share to
give grandchildren to this couple.
They both lived until 1963. Adda died on 12 March. Atwood died 11 May.
