probably unpublished
Hi, 

The following obit was probably not published in any newspaper.  It is the exact
wording of a paper that has been handed down in my family.  Catherine, (the
misspelling is that of the author of the paper, who is unknown) nee Phillippi, 
, the daughter of David Phillippi Sr. and Elizabeth Coffman of Somerset Co.,
PA., first married to Elijah Wright, probably in Somerset Co., PA,
then to Johnston Dean, on 25 Apr 1844, then to Patrick Rork (Rourk) on 9 Jun
1859.  The last two marriages took place in Pickaway County, OH.  Her only
children were by Elijah Wright and they are:  Emily, Harriet, Hiram,  Mary
Elizabeth and Elijah Profit.  Two other children were also born to this marriage
but they died young and their names are unknown.  All children born in Pickaway
Co., OH
