    3. I too would be much interested in a cemetary/grave listing for HIllsborough. Does anyone have a Book of the Dead to do lookups? -----Original Message----- From: Bushy Hartman [mailto:mihartman@InfoAve.Net] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 6:51 AM To: FLHILLSB-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [FLHILLSB] Colon & Woodlawn Cemetery query Hello all, I am having a bit of a problem that I am hoping someone can help me out. Juan FERNANDEZ death certificate says Colon Cemetery on it but the dates match the Woodlawn Cemetery dates. born: 16 Mar 1878; died: 26 Aug 1949. Would anyone have a cemetery book that could confirm the cemetery that Juan married to Mercedes is located and the directions to the cemetery? I sure would appreciate your help. "HILLSBOROUGH county, Florida Cemeteries: 1840-1985" Colon Cemetery Fernandez, Juan B. 24 Jun 1877/18 Nov 1965 double stone with Josephina Fernandez (this is not the correct person, nor does the dates match the death certificate I have) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Woodlawn Cemetery Fernandez, Juan Husband of Mercedes Fernandez 1878/1949 Fernandez, Mercedes Wife of Juan Fernandez 1873/1914 (now this is the right one from the other documents I have collected and the 1900 census) Then I received from Sheila Taylor the following: Tampa Tribune Article in 1901 Fernandez, Candido, Age 23, by suicide on 24 Sep 1901, Burial Woodlawn Cemetery, TWT 26 Sep 1901. Fernandez, Candido, age 34, kills sweetheart, Jovita Perez, then kills self on 24 Sep 1901. Buried Woodlawn TWT 26 Sep 1901. (the ages don't match on these two articles but must be the same person) Juan had a brother Candido age 19 in the 1900 census was born in Oct 1881, which doesn't coincide with the dates on the articles either but errors have been seen in newspaper articles before. Possibly the Woodlawn Cemetery is indeed the correct location and not Colon. Possibly the death certificate is in error.
