Ron (Brownell ?)offered to do look-ups in 3 cemeteries in Lewis County recently, but found no stones. Here is what he said, "Pat R on the same list said on a couple occasions that she has a list of these cem.'s that is with people buried where the stones are GONE or NEVER HAD ONE (my emphasis). I would send a message to her asking for the same info." I am looking for the burial of Asahel Alford and/or Anne (Austin) Alford in the Campville or Seven Day Adventist cemeteries. You know this story: Asa was killed in Campville in 1838. The circumstances strongly suggest he was buried as soon as possible. His wife must have already died as she was not mentioned as surviving Asa. He must be buried in the village where he lived. Thanks in advance for checking! Vieva Johnson

Victoria Lambert was born in Switzerland about 1808; she married Pierre (Peter) Bercier (Bersha, Barsha, Belsher, etc) in Switzerland. They arrived in USA with two daughters, Josephine and Nancy. They lived in Lewis Co., where Victoria apparently died after Oct 1860 but before Sept 1865. Pierre was naturalized 21 Dec 1858. Looking for any details about her death date and where she is buried. GMF Fame is a vapor, popularity is an accident, money takes wings, those who cheer you today may curse you tomorrow. The only thing that endures is character.

I am still looking for the burial place of someone who died 1838, in Campville, Town of Watson, Lewis County. I have checked all of the cemetery records online, with no luck. Anyone have clue where to look next? Many thanks, folks! Vieva [email protected] wrote: > > Today's Topics: > > 1. Re: BARKER, Eliza M. death ([email protected]) > 2.

I looked at the Sand Cemetery records and yes, there were two Alexander Hess's. This was a surprise to me, but the records do show it. My great grandfather was the one born in 1826 and he married Ann Higby Hess. You state Alexander Hess had two wives. I don't think my great grandfather had two wives, I think Eliza Hess, was the wife of the Alexander Hess born in 1911. I reached this conclusion based on the fact that Alexander, my great grandfather was not born until 1826 and Eliza died in 1839. So, he would have been only 13 when he married Eliza. I think it is more logical to assume that Eliza was married to the Alexander that was born in 1811. This would make the one, Alexander, born in 1811, 28 years old when Eliza died at age 22. I really don't know who the Alexander was that was born in 1811 and died at age 52 in 1863. I suspect he might have been the uncle of my great grandfather. If you look at the Sand Cemetery records you will notice that the Alexander born in 1811 and Eliza, born in 1817 are buried next to each other. Combining the burial locations, age, and obituary of the Alexander born in 1826 leads me to believe very strongly that Eliza was the wife of the Alexander born in 1811; not one of two wives of the Alexander born in 1826. You will notice that the Alexander obituary, of the one born in 1826 contains no mention of a second wife named Eliza. Dick In a message dated 2/28/2010 9:16:03 P.M.

Alexander Hess was the son (one of 7) of Jacob and Mary (McDonald) Hess. He was born in Schocharie County Feb, 8, 1826 and died at St, Lukes Hospital, Utica, on July 31, 1921, shortly after breaking a hip from falling. He moved to Lyons Falls with his parents, when he was 8, They lived on a farm on the east side of the Black River until 1903, when he sold the farm to W. W. Barnes. He took two trips west to Ohio, Michigan, and Missouri to visit relatives and then lived with his son, Fred, for the last 15 years. He married Ann Elmira Higby in March of 1853. She died in March of 1903. They had four sons: Elmer of Lyons Falls, Fred of Lowville, Clayton of Avon, and Martin of Saquoit. and one daughter, Charles Northrup of Urbana, Ohio. Also, two sisters; Mr.s Ward Hurst of Boonville and Mr.s Henrietta McDonald of Michigan. The funeral was from the home of his son Fred, in Lowville. Alexander was buried in Sand Cemetery, Greig, N.Y. I don't know about the one born in 1910. I think I remember seeing the grave stones, but I can't locate the photos right now. Dick In a message dated 2/28/2010 9:16:03 P.M.

It was very helpful! I remember Glenn, didn't he live on Woodlawn Ave. back about the late 30's or early 40's?
