Thanks for that Joe. Yes, after I started looking into Grace Vogel and her family in Pennsylvania I was amazed at just how many there were. It seems that she most probably wasn’t a relative of yours, but I think it sure is a wierd coincidence that she should have been the pianist at the old Eagle Theater, along with your own interest in the place. I can’t say that I’m a huge Cinema/Theater buff, but it is great to know a bit more about where she worked back then. Thanks for your kind help and interest. John

According to the Greensburg City Directory for 1917 my distand relative by marriage, GRACE A VOGEL is listed as being the Pianist at the EAGLES THEATER, Greensburg, PA. She was the daughter of ALBERT VOGEL and AMANDA BIBER, and born 16th September 1892 in PA. She had previously been married to RUGH G BAUM, but divorced and later married BURTON M NEWELL. She died in 1940 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Was she possibly a relative of yours JOE VOGEL ?
