Saturday Night Genealogy Fun: An Ancestor Who Has a Life Event on Hallowe'en

I'm going to have to settle for option 2 for tonight's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun challenge from Randy Seaver.

Here is your assignment, if you choose to play along (cue the Mission:  Impossible! music, please!):

1.  Find an ancestor who has a life event (e.g., born, baptized, married, died, or buried) on Hallowe'en (31 October).

2.  Tell us about him or her — who were his or her parents, spouses, children, occupations, residences, etc.

3.  Share your selected ancestor, the historical life event, and your description of your ancestor in your own blog post or in a comment on this blog post, or write a Substack post, Facebook Note, or post in some other social media system.  Please leave a comment with a link on this post so others can find it.

NOTE:  No luck?  How about a relative?  Or a famous person?

As I wrote above, I have to use option 2, because as far as I can tell, none of my ancestors was born, baptized, married, deceased, or buried on October 31.  But I found a grandaunt who was born on Hallowe'en!

Mary Louise Gauntt, daughter of Thomas Kirkland Gauntt and Jane Dunstan, was born October 31, 1899 in Mount Laurel, Burlington County, New Jersey.  She was the fifth child and third daughter of her parents.  (My grandmother was the second child and oldest daughter in the family.)

Mary married Oliver Goldsmith Holden on August 10, 1919 in Mount Holly, Burlington County, New Jersey.  They had no children.  Mary was a housewife.  Oliver was a printer and later became a minister.

Oliver and Mary lived most of their lives in New Jersey, first in Burlington County and in Cumberland County by 1950.  According to the 1940 U.S. Census, in 1935 they were living in Washington County, Pennsylvania.  At some point they moved to Florida, as Mary died on April 19, 1971 in Hernando County, Florida.  She is buried in Brooksville Cemetery in Brooksville, Hernando County.

What I know about Mary I have learned through research, and so far I have not found a photograph of her.  I don't remember my grandmother mentioning this sister.  But there were ten children in the family!
