Friday Furnace Findings
Mangold Furnance

Mangold's Death Certificate
1882-1937

Researching the Ancestry of a Paternal 2nd Great Grandmother, Jane Furnace Overton

Mangold Furnace was born about 1882 in Mississippi, likely Copiah County or a neighboring county.

In 1900, he is living with his parents Durg/Derg and Easter, twin brother Jake and several other siblings. Mangold and twin are listed as 17 years old. No one in the household can read or write.

Mangold married Cora Vardman on Jan 1905 in Copiah County. Their known children were all girls: Gettie, Essie, and Pearlie. Mangold made his living as a sharecropper.

The family of five was all listed in the 1910 census as they were in 1920.

By 1930, Gettie and Pearlie were absent from this household but Essie was still there.

Mangold died 29 May 1937, Hazlehurst, Copiah County, MS of a heart attack and flu contributed to his death.

How does Mangold connect to my family tree? I am not sure how Mangold connects to my tree. I suspect Mangold's father Durg Furnace was a brother to my 2nd great-grandmother, Jane Furnace Overton.
