Though named Sarah, through her life she uused her middle name of Ella. Ella Schell (2 AUG 1877-1955), married C. C. Boorse (born May 23, 1877 by his draft card), supposedly in Manhattan, New York in 1903. This gent is almost certainly Christian C Boorse of West Norriton Township in Montgomery County, PA, a farmer. My guess is confirmed by "A genealogical history of the Hunsicker family" where it says "Christian C. Boorse, born 23 May, 1877; married Ella Schell." Ella and Christian's known children were Herbert, Everett, Gerald, Mary and Sara, but I have found a marriage record for a daughter June. Boorse appears to have had some interest in horse racing, as the United States Trotting Association's "Wallace's Year Book" of trotting and pacing shows that on July 4, 1911 C. C. Boorse's horse Keyno competed in Phoenixville, just down the line from West Norriton. The 1940 census shows Christian as married, but living with his daughter and a servant and her daughters at 2103 W. Main Street in Jeffersonville with no clue as to where Ella is, ditto 1930 where he's with 3 kids and no wife. His 1942 WWII draft card gives his name as Christian Custer Boorse with the same address, except noted as Norristown. He is 5'8", a light complected white man with hazel eyes. The person who will always know where he is is the housekeeper Mrs. O'Neill at the same address.
