This obituary was published in the Philadelphia Inquirer and/or the Philadelphia Daily News on 26 December 2001.

Our family records (on Celle CD #2, History Volume 5, page 31) show that John Abrams Cell married 31 December 1938 to Clara Olive Parker, and they had four children:

(1)daughter Nancy Clair Cell, born Feb. 1941, died Out. 1941.

(2)Son John Albert "Barney" Cell, born January 1943

(3)Son Paul Joseph Cell, born December 1946

(4)Daughter Beverly Ann Cell, born November 1952.

Please add Clara's death date and Beverly's married surname of our records of this family #4, in Part 4 of our Celle Family Book.

Does anyone know where the St. Mark's Episcopal Church is located? Is it in Philadelphia?

Is son John Albert Cell perhaps a minister there? Thanks,
