Loofbourrow Family

Elsie Mary (Johnson) Lyon

With very fond memories of Elsie, I am reporting that Elsie joined the Lord on Friday, May 20th at 8:00pm. She had prepared for this event and passed peacefully.

Elsie had just celebrated her 83rd birthday 3 weeks before. She was born April 30th 1928.

Her Daughter, Sharon, does not have email or easy access to the internet so please check in here for additional details as she and David manage this loss and make arrangements for services.

FAMILY NAMES

If you go back to the mid-1800’s, one set of family names we share are: Loofbourrow-Syfert , when in 1865 James Shanks Loofbourrow married Mary Catherine Syfert. Their children married into yet other families: Conlin, Agnew-Barker, Day, Easling, and Bates. There was a bit of England, Scotland, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, and Germany in the family at this point in the mid-1800s and most came from families that came to America in the late 1600’s. James and Mary Catherine’s grand-children then continued to expand the connections to 17 additional families, and from the following generation scores more.

Chances are you might not have the surname of Syfert, or Loofbourrow, but your ancestors did! Maybe your linage came from unions since: From the Day, Jones, Hockaday, Johnson, or from dozens of later unions.
