• Notes

  William Degler died from an infection [tetanus] after lacerating his head after diving into shallow water at a Lancaster County pool, according to the Reading Eagle article [20 Jul 1936, pg 11]. The death cert says it happened in Bethel. His marriage record says he was born in Marion Township, although it appears the family was living in North Heidelberg Twp in the 1880 census when he was a few months old.
