Edward Hapeman

Edward Hapeman, born 22 Feb 1859, first married Cora Starkweather:







They had four children:

Claude Hapeman
Clarence Hapeman
Elizabeth "Bessie" Hapeman
Arthur Hapeman




Edward Hapeman and his oldest son, Claude, were possibly rooftop survivors of the Johnstown Flood (May 31, 1889). Does anyone know for sure?
