Can anyone on the list familiar with Oak Knoll Cemetery burial records look at this information below and give me input as to how to interpret this burial record? Julia S. Ward died 7/3/1865 age 17-9 Grave # 1 (1899 list # 708) Grave # 2 Julia A. Ward died 5/6/1890 age 82 Grave # 3 (1899 list # 707) Calvin Ward died 3/4/1890 age 86 Grave # 4 (1899 list # 706) Orilly Ward died 16/26/1849 age 51 Grave # 5 (1899 list # 705) Calvin, Julia S. and Julia are my family. Would Orilly have been related if she was buried in the same plot? Calvin is listed as the owner, but he died after Orilly. Is there a way to find out who owned the plot before Calvin? I am trying to establish Calvin's paternity and I think Orilly (daughter of Asa Ward) may be Calvin's relative. Urijah and Purdy Ward Asa and Dosia Orilly (buried in Oak Knowl) Calvin 1st (married Nabby Morse & moved to Illinois) Calvin 2nd (buried in Oak Knowl with his wife Julia A. and daughter Julia S.) Calvin 2nd was the illegitimate son of Calvin 1st and Sally Hitchcock. If Orilly and Calvin are related, it would be a link to this family, which would help me to establish paternity. Any input in interpreting this burial record would be appreciated. Thank you, Harry Calvin Ward
