8 i. Jerome3 Utley (#61216) was born 1831-1838. Jerome died AFT 1921 at age unknown. Jerome records dates as late as 1921 in his journal, so we can assume he lived at least that long. Marge Utley of Rochester Minnesota sent us a copy of Jerome's book recording his family names and dates. He mentions many siblings, etc. but gives us no information about himself.
Louisa B. Tidd and Peter Backer had the following children:
+ 9 ii. Elmer R. Backer was born

Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Tombstone reads
Albert Eugene son of Peter and Lovisa Backer d. Feb 2, 1851 2m 7d. Kelsey
Jones notes say "This tombstone was rechecked, since it does not seem that
1852 could be correct, more likely being 1831. The stone is somewhat worn,
but it does seem to be 1851." Kelsy may not have been aware that the second
wife of Peter was also named Louisa. The death of Albert E. is confirmed
by tombstone in Watson. The death of Melvin on the same day was recorded
in the Jerome Utley notes. While it was not uncommon for families to lose
two children in one day during an epidemic, it is unexplained why one is
marked on a tombstone and the other is not. Birth dates are not the same.
+ 17 x. Josephine L. Backer was
born 07 JUN 1854.
