This is probably not of much help, but I have seen the name Thigpen in my cemetery searchs in Laurens Cty. Wish I had surveyed all the headstones now. I do know that there is a family genealogy section in the main library there in Dublin. The people are awfully nice, and if you call them they will almost always look something up for you. They are really great. They have two cemetery books that list all. Linda Winn-Lyon

Obelisks were common markers for anyone buried in a cemetery started circa 1840. It has nothing to do with the Masons other than the fact that they, like other Victorians, chose the obelisk as a marker because of the Egyptian revival period. So actually, no, an obelisk marker does not always mean a Mason. The majorty of Masons marked their graves with the usual symbols. An obelisk can mean a Mason, but don't assume a Mason is buried under one. They were just a stylish aspect of the Victorian Era. "S.K.

Encouragement of Dutch immigration was mentioned as early as 1846 in the Kalamazoo Telegraph. Immigration to Kalamazoo followed in 1850 when Paulus den Bleyker, a wealthy businessman (sometimes called the "Dutch Governor"), led a party of twenty seven newcomers. The party arrived by rail on October 1, 1847. Almost immediately several of the immigrants died. Fearing an epidemic, the remaining party was quarantined. The enforced delayed caused Paulus den Bleyker to become acquainted with Kalamazoo. As a result, he purchased the estate of Michigan Governor and Kalamazoo pioneer, Epaphroditus Ransom. The estate was immediately surveyed and subdivided for the immigrants. Paulus den Bleyker remained a patron to the Kalamazoo Dutch, helping individuals and helping establish the Reformed Church ( the first pastor was Wynand Gardenier ). The cornerstones of the Dutch Community in Kalamazoo were the Reformed Churches and the related Christian Schools. The first Christian School was established in 1875. Dutch immigration began in earnest with the cultivation of a crop newly in demand in North America and Europe, celery. The remains of old post glacial lakebeds in the form of "muck lands" widespread in Kalamazoo were the perfect media for celery growing George and James Taylor brought celery to Kalamazoo. Cornelius De Bruin is credited with starting celery production in Kalamazoo. As early as 1871, celery was shipped from Kalamazoo. Hundreds of acres of muck lands were cleared for celery cultivation. The earliest celery farms were established in what was, at the time, southern Kalamazoo. Later, the center of celery cultivation moved to the north side of Kalamazoo where the Dutch flocked. The Dutch in Kalamazoo followed their national traditional of flower cultivation which accounts for the large numbers of greenhouses in the area. The Dutch became a significant portion of Kalamazoo's population, comprising at one time perhaps twenty percent of the city (including the second and third generations). A large portion of Dutch immigration to Kalamazoo originated in the provinces of Friesland and Groningen.
