Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wQB.2ACE/1140 Message Board Post: Walter Lovett certainly came through for Sandi, sleuthing down many exact burial locations at Mount Pleasant in Millville. For anyone else looking for persons buried there, the Millville Historical Society (open Wed. and Sun. 1 to 4 pm) has a huge Charles Hartman map showing what every tombstone said (as of 1980 or perhaps earlier). Then there is an index, so you don't have to squint over the whole map. A volunteer was able to direct me to a couple of graves I had long sought, thanks to this index. The older part of Mount P. is huge and hilly, plus has rocks, bricks and sticks in its winding paths, so it's wonderful to have such a grave-finding aid at MHS. But Walter, I didn't think they had causes of deaths in the Index, so did you unearth some other printed source of Mount Pleasant records? I spoke with Mt. P. manager Jim Reeves at the cem. a couple of years ago and he said they had records that (by that time) no one had photocopied for the MHS. Has someone done that since? It would be a great service, and I would gladly go over from Southern Delaware, to help. If it has been done, however, and that's the source you used, does the lack of a plot number suggest the person got no stone? (I would think they'd have to note exact position anyway, to prevent future use of the same piece of ground!) For those who cannot go to Millville, the historical society no longer has e-mail, but if you write (and preferably either join for $10 or enclose a donation) a volunteer may look up one or two requests. If your missing-persons died since the 1930s, MHS keeps a great file of obits, too. Also, Sandi, since you have exact names and death dates, you can contact the two oldest funeral homes in Mvl, Rocap-Shannon and Christy's. Both started around 1900. Their recs should show burial locations and possibly COD/ next of kin. Christy's has a website, where you can send an e-mail request. Every person who died in Cumberland County should have either a Will or a Letter of Administration (if they left no Will). These papers are filed at the Courthouse in Bridgeton and possibly the Cumberland h.s. in Greenwich. At the CH, however, they hit you for a walloping $3 per page for copying Wills from microfilm, so be prepared to either take careful notes or walk out broke. Finally, there's the NJ State Archives in Trenton, where you can visit to find any NJ death certificate (only 50 cents per page here). Certs can also be ordered by mail, using a form on their website.

The Frank in their household in the 1880 census does not show up after that in the census's, mean time Elwood is no where to be found as Elwood in 1880, but in 1900 He's back living in the household of Lydia Johnson.
