• Notes

  NOTE: I have not confirmed that the grandfather is the same Irwin Wisser (gaw 6/18/2014) Twins of Paul and Helen Wisser Newspaper dated November 10, 1927 The second of the twin daughters born to Paul and Helen, nee Newhard, Wisser, of West Catasauqua on October 27 died last night at 8:15 at the home of the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Wisser, West Catasauqua, from a complication of diseases. The twins were the only children of the Wisser family. When three days old Betty Margaret, died and although strong hopes were held for the health of Helen, she followed her sister in death. Besides the parents the grandparents Wisser and the maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George Newhard of Northampton survive.
