Hermon, My husband Cliff has relatives buried in Bloomrose Cemetery. Is there a listing of those buried in Bloomrose? Or how/who could we contact? Carol in Ocala

While I traveled down Felicity Higginsport Rd. so far down it turned into Skiffsville Rd. Where can I find a listing for this cemetery? Rose

I believe it is in Lewis Township.

I wonder if,now knowing where the Merritt cemetary is,if there is still a road [Merritt] off Shinkle's Ridge Rd,just a bit west of the church. I know a road goes south by the church,but this is north. The original road from Augusta,Ky to Williamsburg,and -or Bethel. Skiffsville Rd must be called Felicity-Higginsport in Clermont,and if so,I have enough left memory to know the Widow Jackie Wehrum and I went steady 5 months in 1956,and she's lived 40 years on that road. Was it a shotgun from a hunting accident that killed 1 boy,that the 2nd boy hid off Skiffsville,Rd? On Sat, 7 Jun 2003 17:56:05 -0500 "Beverly A.

The cemetariy[s] are near Joseph Clark's mill on east Bullskin Creek. Merritt cemetary is shown on 1876 atlas of Lewis township as south of,across Bullskin. My Dad used to fish near a covered bridge over east Bullskin. 1950. We would cross the bridge going to Rev Edwin and Flora Jennings Flory's farm atop RT 505 hill from HiPORT. alt Carter,Bethel,Oh vice mayor,and former Clermont Co Engineer, had Carter's buried nearby. My wife and daughter had a real estate listing on-near Skiffsville,and talked of that cemetary. Several years ago-poor memory- there was a murdered bdy,or a muderer, found in a woods back Skiffsville from Rt 505. I'm thinking the only reason my Dad took that road to Flory's was to pass his fishing holes. I'd go thru Poetwon and Feesburg. And have several times. On Sat, 7 Jun 2003 17:56:05 -0500 "Beverly A.

Rose, This sounds like the Clark Family Cemetery in Lewis Twp. which was copied in October 1962. The inscriptions are listed in the book "Tombstone Inscriptions of Brown County, Ohio Volume I" by Lillian Colletta and Leslie Puckett (1963).

I am not sure if that is the proper spelling of the road but I told that was the name of the road. It is off of Skiffsville road just before going onto 505. I walked way into the woods and found an old abandoned cemetery. There are such names as Hopkins, Minor, Clark, Elliott and several others. It is in very very poor shape. If anyone needs any other info please let me know. Rose

Just wondering what township this is in. Thanks.

[email protected],whose wedding 50+ years ago was preformed,in part,by Rev Edwin [and Flora Jennings] Flory,and who lived in a former Thomas home at the top of RT 505 HILL from Higgisport,Lewis twnsp,Brown Co,Oh. 50+ years ago,my parents,and the Paul Emmitt's,Clifford White's,Ray Salt's, and Henry Baudendistal's ,among others, went to Bantam,Oh Presbyterian led by the Flory's, and they entertained us for dinner a few times. [Mrs Flory made yeast rolls!-we had bisquits at home]. Anyway, Myra Hing,and others could better tell about the Thomas family than I. I will say my real estate agent wife sold portions of the Thomas farms a year ago. Page 1086 of Carl Thompson's 'Historical Collections of Brown Co,Ohio' repeats an 1879 newspaper article of a visit to the family cemetary of the Samuel Thomas family. 78 year old Samuel Thomas Sr died in 1878. 26 year old Lewis Thomas was killed by a log in 1878.There was installed a 23 foot monument in this family cemetary. The same book tells of Lemon Thomas telling of the Augusta Ferry,and on it's Ohio landing was a glass green house of 1 of the Thomas'. Old Al Boles told me that his family-kinsmen-were called to the greenhouse to aid with the transplanting when he,Al,was a boy. Al's grandson ,Shafer Boles and I share a birthday. Anyway,a vineyard of grapes,and a winery,and a party room were someplace on theThomas Ohio River hillsides. Sallee is another name Ms Hing researches. Slim Sallee,of Higginsport,Ohio ptched for the Cincinnati Reds pro baseball team at some early date. [was the '27 Yankee manager,Miller Huggins,of the n Brown Co-Highland Co Huggins so involved in the Underground RR?

At least 1 Church family was early in sw ,now,Pike twnsp sw of Locust Ridge. We know of a researcher from Tom's River,NJ who has a Church m by Henry Willis,JP to a Ross. Jonathan Church is an early one. That's 300 miles sw of thr Ashtubula Oh Churches. Very s e Brown Co's Aberdaeen,Huntington Twnsp had 2 "marrying JP's" Thomas Shelton JP and Massie Beasley JP. 5 Mile,in N Brown Co had a Thomas Sheldon, who also preformed many marriages,as a Clermont JP and church elder. Pat Manning Donaldson Mills located,and put in the Maysville ,Masoin Co,Ky Hist Soc Library many of Thomas Shelton,JP's. Massie Beasley's are said to be lost. I'm going to import a newspaper article from just across the Ohio River from Massie Beasley hinting at how many marriages he preformed in a short period.
