Dear Registrar,
I have been researching the Ervay quadruplets in an effort to
determine their birth place.
Does I van Adelbert Ervay appear in your records ? information
leads me to believe that he may have died in your area in the early
1930's.
His place of death, and date, would enable zee to la pate his death
cettifica.te which in turn would record place of birth.
Tease advise to pr2ocedure end fees to obtain such information!

Dear Marcella,
Saturday March 170 1984
Enfield To in Historian
I have been researching the birth of the Ervay quadruplets for
several years now. Their father Foster Ervay lived near Alpine in
the late 1800's.
It is my belief that he may 'have married,for the third time,
someone from that area betweenthetime of his second wife's death
in 1894 and his own death in 1905.
I'm also ( primarily ) 'seeking the marriage and death records of
the two quads that survived. The names being Ida Ade iia. and Irvan
Adelbert.
Please advise as to cost of transcripts of any,-recorda that-Y4qu
may have concerning these people? Or if you lack bane tolook-lor,
them in your records if it would be permissible fo'r me to, 46.46o at
your convenience.
Sincerely,

Dear Marjorie,
First, let rne thank you. for acknowledging wir request for information!
I talked with Mrs. Decker on Sept.25, 1982 and upon replaying'A
tape recording of that conversation she mentioned the fact that', -she
could remember Foster Ervayl19
. etting married. The soundex of the -1,900
cereus list a Eliza Ervay as Foster's wife. According to the Laural Hil
Cemetery records Foster's first wife died in 1863. His second wife died
5-8-1894 thus Eliza would seem to be a third wife.
T have Lalked with Charles Harrington Catharine Historian, and
RArbara Bell, S-chuyler County Historian, concerning this matter of
the birthplace of the Ervay quadruplets.
I have very little doubt as to the place of res�denoe--of Foster
Ervay at the time of the births but I a m trying, e6ver all possible'2
leads concerning questions that may arise about Footer' and. his family'o-
Perhaps you might permitt me to look thug your records at some tithe
in the future
Sincerely,,
