Tombstone Tuesday--Sampson Smith Frum

     One of the benefits of my cleaning out hard copy files is that I am finding blogs that I have missed writing.  Featuring the grave marker of my paternal great great great great grandfather is one.

      In June, 1995, with a lot of assistance from Morgantown family, I was able to locate The Old Frum Cemetery, also listed as The Bell cemetery.   I believe that the first photos taken of the cemetery and remaining markers were taken then.

     Sampson Smith Frum, son of William Frum and Anna Smith, was born on January 27, 1790 in Frederick County, Virginia.  He died at the age of seventy-three on November 13, 1863 in Monongalia County, (West) Virginia. He is buried beside his wife, Elizabeth Ann VanGilder in the cemetery that was located on a piece of his land beside Aarons Creek.

     Sampson's tombstone is barely legible.  There appears to be a tree of life at the top.  In 1939 there was a written list compiled of this cemetery.  Sampson's tombstone was read as:

Sampson Frum

b. 1-27-1790

d. 11-13-1863

Veteran War 1812

  During the War of 1812, Sampson was a Lieutenant from Monongalia County, (West) Virginia. He resigned the position in 1817 (Zinn)

Tombstone Tuesday--Samuel Hughes of West Hartlepool, England

    

     I have double checked Flipside and do not think I have posted this before.  In my attempt this year to blog more, I will admit the information was found two years ago during my hiatus. ;-)

     This Samuel Hughes is my paternal 3x great grandfather. I will go into more detail as to his family story at a later date.  He was the son of William and Mary Hughes and born in Kingswinford in the County of Staffordshire, England in 1830.  He married Ann Hill in 1849 and by 1871 the family had relocated to West Hartlepool, England.  The photo of Samuel's tombstone was found on Gravestone Photographic Resource.

Samuel Hughes Death Certificate 1895
West Hartlepool, England

    

     Samuel and Ann Hughes were living at their married daughter's, Anna Hughes Hussey, home at 76 Salisbury Terrace, West Hartlepool, England.  Samuel died at the house on December 4, 1895 at age sixty-five of bronchitis and general lung congestion.  Samuel's tombstone is located in Municipal North Cemetery, Hartlepool, Durham County, England.

     HUGHES.--On the 4th  inst., (instante mense--a date of the current month), at 76, Salisbury terrace, Studley-road, Samuel Hughes, aged 63.  Interment on Saturday, at 2:30.  Friends please accept this intimation.--Deeply regretted.    

     The obituaries from this time in the Hartlepool newspapers do have the sentence, "Friends please accept this intimation."  Intimation was not a word I was familiar with and wondered what it meant.  A quick search online at Dictionary.com gave me one definition--announcement or declaration.  Often I have also seen, "Friends please accept this the only intimation.

Tombstone Tuesday--Peter Gemmell, Fenwick Covenanter

     Back in 2005, while my husband, brother and I were traveling around the lowlands of Scotland, we stayed a day or two in Fenwick, Scotland near the town of Kilmarnock.  A large portion of the trip was spent looking for anything Gemmell--not in my surname line, but belonging to a friend of my brother.

     The second day of our stay in a wonderful B & B in Fenwick (pronounced Fenick), I saw a pamphlet in the lounge area for the Fenwick Old Parish Kirk.  AND, a Gemmell was buried there.  Suddenly, we were all in the rental car and heading for Low Fenwick and the Kirk.  As I remember, it was a dark and dreary afternoon--the perfect setting for a wander in an old cemetery.

     What an exciting find this turned out to be.  Firstly, I had either forgotten or never knew about the history of the Scottish Covenanters and shame on me as a life long Presbyterian!  The kirkyard was full of them....8 to be exact, which is more than in any other Scottish burial ground. 

    I found a useful site called Scottish Covenanter Memorials Association, which defined covenanter, "Simply stated, the Covenanters were those people in Scotland who signed the National Covenant in 1638. They signed this Covenant to confirm their opposition to the interference by the Stuart kings in the affairs of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland."

     Second, I don't know what I was thinking....maybe my mind was washed out by the rain....but I only photographed the one tombstone we were in search of...again, shame on me! 

     Finally, had I been able to do a little research on the Old Parish Kirk, I would have known ahead of time that the church faces east/west and is an odd angle within its boundary.  The kirk was built in 1643 in the shape of a Greek cross.  The guard posts at the gates that were built so that families could protect their dead from the resurrectionists.

The Peter Gemmell tombstone reads:

"Here lyes the corpse of Peter Gemmell,

who was shot by Nisbet and his party, anno 1685, for bearing his faithful testimony to the cause of Christ. Aged 21 years.
‘This man, like holy anchorites of old,
For conscience sake was thrust from house and hold;
Bloodthirsty red-coats cut his prayers short,
And even his dying groans were made their sport.
Ah, Scotland! breach of solemn vow repent,
Or bloody crimes will bring thy punishment.’"

     Electric Scotland on line has Ramble Round Kilmarnock, by Archibald R. Adamson.  There are two excellent chapters on the Fenwick Old Parish Kirk, Chapter VII and Chapter VIII.

Tombstone Tuesday--Beryl Lepard Burkett and Leon Milton Burkett

     Beryl E. Lepard, daughter of William H. Lepard and Alice N. Finch, was born on March 23, 1893 in Venice Township, Seneca County, Ohio.  Leon Milton Burkett, son of John F. Burkett and Elizabeth J. Gruver, was born on July 15, 1887 at Bettsville, Liberty Township, Seneca County, Ohio.

     On June 15, 1922, at Attica, Seneca County, Ohio, Leon Milton Burkett married Beryl E. Lepard.  At the time of their marriage, John was employed as a post master and Beryl as a teacher. Beryl Lepard Burkett is my third cousin, once removed.

     Leon's World War I draft registration gives his employment as a baker and the death certificate lists his occupation as grocer.  The Burkett's had one son, Leon Milton Burkett, born in 1925.  Young Leon died in World War II on the Pacific Ocean.

     Three years after his marriage and the year his son was born, Leon died at age thirty eight, on December 30, 1925 in Maple Grove, Liberty Township, Seneca County, Ohio and is buried in Attica Venice Cemetery, Attica, Seneca County, Ohio.

     Beryl married second, John H. Shimer, on January 19, 1945 in Seneca County, Ohio.  On April 24, 1945, Beryl lost her only child, Leon Milton Burkett, who was killed during a flight over Tokyo in a B-29 during World War II.  The plane was shot down and all members of the crew were killed.

     Beryl died on April 4, 1972 in Tiffin, Seneca County, Ohio.  She is buried beside her first husband, Leon Milton Burkett at Attica Venice Cemetery, Seneca County, Ohio.

     This had been a missing piece of my family tree.  I took the photos of the tombstones when I was wandering around Attice Venice Cemetery looking for my Frederick and Lepard relations.  I saw the Burkett name and knew that my husband had links to Burketts.....not realizing that Beryl was my cousin until I began to do the research for this blog.

Tombstone Tuesday--Matthew Thomas Orr

MATTHEW THOMAS ORR
1836-1909
104 OVI
(Need to get back to photograph this without ice & snow)

     In honor of the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War, I am featuring the tombstone of my maternal Great-granduncle, Matthew Thomas Orr, of Columbiana County, Ohio.  Matthew was the son of William Morlan Orr and Nancy Cannon.  He was born in Columbiana County, Ohio on September 8, 1836, probably on the family farm in Elkrun Township.

     Matthew mustered in to the 104th Regiment, Company C, of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry at East Palestine, Unity Township, Columbiana County on August 2, 1862. He was appointed to the rank of sargeant on August 25, 1862, however, when he mustered out in Greensboro, North Carolina on June 17, 1865, he was listed as a private. Matthew suffered from a gunshot wound which he incurred during the war.


     There is a listing in the Columbiana County Death Record which records all county deaths from the Civil War...

"Matthew Orr, 5th Sarg from Elkrun Twp. as having been killed in action in Atlanta, Georgia. 104th Reg OVI Co C." Obviously this account of death was incorrect.

Matthew is listed in the 1890 Special Census for Civil War Veterans and Widows--


Matthew T. Orr, private, Co C 104 Ohio Volunteer Infantry, August 7, 1862 to June 17, 1865.  Served 2 years, 10months, 6 days.  Gunshot wound.


Matthew died at age seventy-two on December 22, 1909 in Lisbon, Columbiana County, Ohio. He is buried beside his first wife, Mary Ellen Smith Orr in The Lisbon Cemetery, Lisbon, Columbiana County, Ohio.

Tombstone Tuesday--Alice R. Lepard Ayres Kaufman

     Alice R. Lepard, daughter of Isacc Lepard and Sarah Woollet, was born on July 23, 1863 in Attica, Seneca County, Ohio. Alice is my second cousin twice removed.  

     I first found the Lepard family when I was searching for my maternal great grandfather, Alfred Frederick in the 1860 Ohio Federal Census.  He was living with Isaac and Sarah Lepard.  I had no idea who they were; however, with a little detective work, I found that my great grandfather was Sarah's first cousin through the Frederick line.

     On April 20, 1890, Alice married William H. Ayres in Seneca County, Ohio.  William, son of David Ayres and Mary Hall, was born in Plymouth, Ohio in September, 1854.  There is a discrepancy on William's birth between the 1900 Ohio census and the death certificate as to the month.

     The Ayres had one child, a son, James, born in April, 1892 in Ohio, probably Attica, Seneca County, Ohio.  William was the owner of a furniture store in Attica. 

     On October 15, 1928, William died at Mercy Hospital in Tiffin, Seneca County, Ohio.  He was buried at Attica Cemetery, Attica, Seneca County, Ohio

     Alice married Emanuel M. Kaufman; a second marriage for both.  Emmanuel was the son of Daniel and Elizabeth Kaufman and was born in Crawford County, Ohio on December 2, 1856.  Emanuel predeceased Alice on April 13, 1931 at Attica, Seneca County, Ohio.  He is buried in Attica Cemetery beside his first wife.

     Alice died on July 11, 1946 at age seventy-four.  She is buried beside her first husband, William H. Ayres in Attica Cemetery.  She spent her entire life in Attica.

Tombstone Tuesday--Adelbert Clay

Flipside followers will know why I captured this little tombstone with a photograph......although, it is not a tree shaped marker, it is a little piece of a tree.....a log marker ;-)

Adelbert Clay is buried in Attica Venice Cemetery, Attica, Seneca County, Ohio. After doing some research on Family Search, death certificates show that there are numerous other Clay family members also buried in Attica Cemetery. Unfortunately, I did not photograph them.

Adelbert Clay, son of Amos Clay and Meanda Easterbrook, was born in Republic, Seneca County, Ohio on September 30, 1869. I was able to locate Adelbert and his wife Mary in the 1930 Ohio census and he is listed as the owner of a gas station in Republic, Ohio. I have been through Republic countless times and there is currently a gas station at the corner of Route 18 and Route 4. There are also old buildings on Route 19 where it crosses Route 18 that could have once been gas stations. Checking earlier census reports, it appears that Adelbert was married first to a woman named Flora and they had a son, Charles D. Clay, born in April, 1899, in Ohio.

Tombstone Tuesday--LeBon

I am hoping to make more short trips to the Forest Park Cemetery (formerly known as Waldheim Cemetery) in Forest Park, Illinois. I have never found so many of these tree shaped tombstones in one place.

I visited a week ago and the ground was snow covered. A little research on this tombstone--A Lebon--proved to be Alexander LeBon. I was able to locate his death certificate on Family Search and then jumped over to ancestry to find out some additional information.

There is a family tree out on ancestry and the owner has posted photographs of the smaller tombstones located in front of the tree marker. Had I been able to see them (remember they were covered in snow), my research would not have been necessary ;-)

Credit to Mary Walker who has taken the photos of the two individual markers.


ALEXANDER LEBON
Born: February 5, 1858, Couillet, Belgium
Died: March 27, 1925, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois
Alexander was the son of Bask Elima Lebon and Mary Karece, both born in Couillet, Belgium. Alexander was employed with the Chicago Public School system as a janitor. He was buried at Waldheim Cemetery, now Forest Park Cemetery on March 30, 1925.


CLARISSE ROBERT LEBON
Born: March 1858, Belgium
Died: 1927, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois
Clarisse, known as Clara, does not have a very long paper trail to follow. Although her place of death is listed as Chicago out on ancestry, I was not able to locate a death certificate for her. I did try various spellings of Lebon, which did not prove to be helpful. Her maiden name, Robert, was also taken from the family tree information posted on the net. Clara was listed as a dressmaker on the 1900 and 1910
Illinois census.

Alexander and Clarisse were married in Belgium in 1883 and immigrated to the United States on the ship Noordland arriving on November 14, 1884 from Antwerp, Belgium. They made their home on Robey Avenue, in Harvey, Thornton Township, Cook County, Illinois.

Tombstone Tuesday--The Bruhns Boys

Here is another tree tombstone I found recently at Forest Home Cemetery in Forest Park, Illinois....just west of Chicago.


What really captured my attention is that the tree branches actually curl around the trunk. I have never seen that until this particular marker. As you can see the attention to detail is exceptional.


LOUIS BRUHNS
October 6, 1860
April 22, 1889

WILLIAM BRUHNS
May 11, 1858
August 11, 1865

Unfortunately, my research on these two boys lead me nowhere.

Tombstone Tuesday--Arno and Hedwig Voss

On my way to Loyola Hospital I decided to make a brief stop at a local cemetery. For weeks I had seen a specific tombstone from the Eisenhower Expressway and wanted a closer look. The marker in question was one shaped like a tree trunk. Readers of Flipside know that I have a penchant for them.

The cemetery is Forest Home Cemetery, Forest Park, Cook County, Illinois and what a find it was. Some day I would like to come back and spend days wandering around. The sculptural art is superb.

Today I was able to snap about six markers in the shape of tree trunks. Featured here is one for Arno and Hedwig Voss. Unfortunately, I am not fluent in German; however some research out on ancestry and family search provided me with some dates. Google books was a gold mine as Arno Voss, a local Chicago attorney, Colonel with the 12th Illinois Calvary Regiment in the Civil War and senator in the Illinois General Assembly, has numerous mentions in Chicago history books.

Hedwig Voss has an illuminating paragraph on page 149 of Wendy Hamand Venet's book, "Midwestern Women: Work, Community, Leadership at the Crossroads", found in google books. Hedwig was a writer and active in her community and at the German Old People's Home, where she later lived. She was a conservative voice in her neighborhood and Chicago.


ARNO VOSS
Born
circa 1819
Germany
Died
Looks like March 23, 1888
Oak Park, Cook County, Illinois



HEDWIG VOSS
Born
April, 1827
Germany
Died
October 17, 1905
Oak Park, Cook County, Illinois

Arno Voss letter regarding the German Old Peoples Home, "Altenheim". Hedwig Voss, a widow on the 1900 Illinois Census, is a resident of Altenheim and also listed as the assistant matron.

Tombstone Tuesday--Vonderbank

     

     Several weeks ago while wandering around the Metairie Cemetery, located at the end of the Cemeteries line in New Orleans, I came upon this mausoleum and statues of the two children. I was more interested in the statue than the names, so unfortunately I can't provide much information on who is interred in the family vault. Apparently the two children are mourning the death of their dear aunt, Babette Vonderbank. 

     In the urn is Uncle Ahrens. Find A Grave provided the name of the third person, Mathieu Vonderbank. Googling the Vonderbank name I have been able to locate some information about the sculptor and those interred. 

    Metairie is filled with wonderful sculptural markers and they are what captured my attention while walking from mausoleum to mausoleum. I did not do to much in the way of actually taking notes and photographing the names as I usually do.

Tombstone Tuesday--Voodoo

When visiting New Orleans a week or so ago, you know I had to visit St. Louis #1, located on Basin Street. This is the oldest cemetery in New Orleans and the resting place of at least three persons who practiced the art of Voodoo.

Marie Laveau, the Queen of Voodoo is reputed to be buried here. The name and dates of the Marie Laveau listed first in the family vault appears to match Marie's daughter, who happens to have the same name.



Wandering around, I found two more grave sites of Voodoo practitioners. They are easily identified by the numerous "XXX" written all over the vault. Noodling around the net, I found that when someone writes the "XXX" on the tombstone, the deceased will grant a wish. There are no names or dates on these sites; however, current day believers seem to know that these belong to Voodoo folks.



You will also note some of the items left for the deceased....there were wine bottles, a half glass of wine, fans, chachkies of every shape and size.

Tombstone Tuesday--Woodmen of the World Bonanza

     This summer I photographed my first Woodmen of the World (WOW) tombstone in the Bellevue Cemetery, Bellevue, Ohio. I have always been fascinated with tombstones that are shaped like tree trunks and happened upon the WOW symbol by accident since it was on a tree trunk tombstone. The find has put me on, yet another, tombstone quest.

     While wandering about the Lafayette Cemetery # 1, in the Garden District, New Orleans, Louisiana this weekend, I spied a tree trunk tombstone. Imagine my surprise when I saw the deceased was a member of the Woodmen of the World. It didn’t stop there…..I found several more. John Crane Ermon Son of John Ermon And Susan Crane Born August 15?, 1802 maybe 1882 Died October 28, 1914 Member of Magnolia Camp Number ?
