I didn't have time to send off a response yesterday. William Bruchey is
found in 1920 Census Philadelphia Ward 28-2521 Arizona St. He was born in
MD. Perhaps he was buried with his MD family?
In addition to the obits in MD there is a SSDI for another Bruchey that
brings the family forth another generation in MD.

The Catholic Cemeteries Office 215-587-3560-the people there are VERY nice!
Claire has given very good advice!

I just found a death cert for Marie Bruchey, dau of Wm H and Phoebe buried
22 May 1899 at American Mechanics Cemetery-premature birth Ward 29 -1810
Woodstock St. Perhaps he was buried in other than a Catholic Cemetery?
