Peter was the grandson of my 3rd great grandfather, Eleazer Devall...son of Joseph Devall and Rhoda Fredenburg. He was born near Newark, New York on August 1, 1873 and is buried with his third wife at Reese Cemetery in Springfield, Michigan. I did find burial records for the cemetery online, but it doesn't list any dates. Peter was married three times...to Nellie Harrington (born 1880), Matilda E. Beckwith (born 1863) and Zona E. Wooden (1880-1964). Zona is interred beside Peter at Reese Cemetery. I don't know if Peter had any children of his own, but I do know that Matilda and Zona had children from previous marriages. I'm not sure who is in charge of Reese Cemetery or else I would have called that particular entity. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :0) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
